Who we are

Made by coaches who’ve felt it

“We are a group of female strength and conditioning coaches who have experienced for ourselves the mental and physical benefits of being strong and belonging to a gym community — and we’d like to share that with young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity.”

— Kristen, founder, Strong Girl Squad
