The Load Up Membership

Get stronger without having to plan it yourself or stay in the gym for hours.

Don’t let them lie to you…

1 hour is enough time

  • to feel stronger

  • to see more muscle definition

  • and to focus on longevity of movement

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’ve followed a few apps you’ve found on Instagram or YouTube but it was either boring or way too long.

  • Classes that you’ve tried focus on bootcamp style workouts and you don’t want to do any more damn burpees.

  • You manage every aspect of your day- family schedule, work meetings, meals- so you would love to not have to manage your workouts.

  • Getting stronger is a priority for you, but you aren’t sure how to safely and efficiently progress your numbers, set, and reps.

  • You used to be so structured with your workouts before home and work life got so busy, but now carving out time each week seems daunting.

You are NOT alone.

What if you could:

  • Enjoy a consistent and manageable workout ready for you to execute 3x/week

  • Focus your training on strength and power, to actually make a difference in your life. No more 45 minute burners with mountain climbers and burpees.

  • See strength improvements and body composition changes with a thoughtful and progressive program, and you didn’t have to spreadsheet any of it yourself.

  • Confidently carve out in your schedule because you know how long it will take and it’s ready for you as soon as you arrive at the gym

Well, hello and welcome to Lift the Load!

This has been about a decade in the making.  After college athletics, then CrossFit, then Olympics lifting, I realized that none of it exactly hit the mark for what I was looking for in a program.  I desired a focus on strength and hypertrophy (muscle growth) and did not want to perform a bicep curl while in a squat or countless mountain climbers. So I began dabbling in trying out different strength cycles on myself.

At the same time, while working as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I continued to see repetitive injuries and pain in active adults.  Many times, it turned out to be overuse or stress injuries from programs that made no sense.  The programs/classes either had no goal, or the program itself didn’t align with the goal.  Often folks were wanting to ‘get stronger’, then completing a program that was light weights for 3 sets of 10-20 reps.  This does not compute.

So I started creating training programs for patients once they graduated rehab.  But over the past decade, that has morphed into straight up strength and hypertrophy training programs for adults with all types of training backgrounds! 

Many of my current programming clients have been with me for 3+ years.  It’s a testament to the smart, progressive nature of the program, and their commitment to the long-game of strength for life.

The Load Up Membership is the scaffolding for the longevity and gains you desire, but it takes consistent effort.  You’ll hear me say it often, “consistency over perfection”.  And if you’re like me, being a ‘perfectionist’ is sort of your MO.  But we are changing that here, friends.

Not only have I seen significant muscle growth, but my chronic shoulder and knee pain has also decreased, allowing me to feel stronger and more confident.” —  Angie

  • “I found myself working out without any direction or fitness goals. I needed the accountability and a way to track progress. With the program, everyday life became easier and I’m significantly stronger!” — Jimmy

  • “I decided to start the program because I needed the organization and accountability. I was lost at the gym, not consistent so needed direction! I wanted to have someone just tell me what to do with a program that is logical, efficient, and function-focused.” — Jay

  • “I started the program because I wanted to get serious about long term health and fitness as I aged. I was doing boot camp and running occasional races and Ragnars. But I wanted to focus on strength! Since starting the program 2 years ago, I have gained strength, confidence, and muscle definition!” — Nancy
