One year ago, Paula Skidmore walked through the doors of Starting Strength Tulsa ready to change her life.
Not for quick fixes.
Not for trends.
For strength. Real strength.
Over the last year, Paula has shown up, trusted the process, pushed through hard days, and proven to herself that she is capable of far more than she once believed. The weights got heavier, but so did her confidence, resilience, and belief in herself.
Strength training changes more than muscles.
It changes posture.
Mindset.
Energy.
The way you carry yourself through life.
Paula’s journey is proof that consistency matters more than perfection and that small steps repeated over time create massive change. We’re incredibly proud of how far she’s come in just one year, and this is only the beginning.
Happy 1 year anniversary, Paula. Your hard work inspires everyone around you at Starting Strength Tulsa. Stronger every day.

This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who paid the ultimate price for this country.
Freedom was never free.
It was earned through sacrifice, courage, discipline, and men far tougher than most of us will ever know.
At Starting Strength Tulsa, we honor those fallen heroes by living strong, standing tall, and refusing to waste the freedoms they fought for.
Today isn’t about sales, cookouts, or a long weekend.
It’s about remembering the warriors who never made it home.
Train hard.
Live with purpose.
Carry their legacy forward.
Happy Memorial Day from Starting Strength Tulsa.

Some legends do not retire they just take a break
Welcome back Gigi Meyer one of the originals who helped build Starting Strength Tulsa from the very beginning. From the early days to now she has always been part of what makes this place what it is.
We are proud to have her back on the platform.
Outside the gym Gigi shows up every day as a dedicated healthcare worker taking care of others and now she is back to putting in the work for herself too.
Glad to have you back Gigi

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give Mom something that actually lasts: strength.
The Starting Strength approach isn’t about trends or quick fixes. It’s about building real, functional strength through simple, proven lifts. Strong moms don’t just look capable, they are capable. Carrying groceries, keeping up with kids, protecting their health for years to come.
Strength training improves bone density, boosts metabolism, and supports long-term independence—things every mom deserves.
Give her the confidence to lift more than expectations. Give her the resilience to keep showing up. Give her strength.

Meet Janelle 💪
Former gymnast. CrossFit athlete. Business owner. Strong in every sense of the word.
Janelle and her husband run a security company while helping raise an incredible 8-year-old—and somewhere along the way, she realized it was time to get back to *her* strength.
That’s what brought her to Starting Strength Tulsa.
She already had the grit. Now we’re dialing it in—getting her stronger, more consistent, and back on track with a little more intention behind every lift.
This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see how far she goes.
Welcome to the family, Janelle 🔥
