Not sure where to begin?

Start with a Movement Assessment

We’ll look at how you move, talk about your goals, teach foundational movements, and give you clear recommendations for what comes next.

You don’t need to commit to personal training to book an assessment.

Training Built Around You

“I have been working with Josie for several months…

and have seen a dramatic improvement in my mobility and strength. I was diagnosed with bursitis in my hips in my 40s, and at times the pain became so debilitating that I could barely walk, which was incredibly discouraging for someone who loves to stay active.

Josie has been so intentional in creating training tailored specifically to my body and my needs. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly pays attention to how my body responds and progresses. Since working with her, I have gained strength in my hips, experienced far fewer episodes of pain, and feel stronger and more confident overall.

I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made and would highly recommend Strong As I Am Collective to anyone looking for personalized training and support that truly makes a difference.”

— Desi, Strong As I Am Client

  • Exercise guidance and movement education

  • Ongoing check-ins and program adjustments, depending on your level of support

Whether you're training at home or in a gym, your program is built around you, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Personalized Programming

For women who want a thoughtfully designed training plan to follow independently, without ongoing coaching.

Return-to-Strength Support

Return-to-Strength Support helps bridge the gap between recovery and confidently returning to the activities that matter most to you.

A Thoughtful Return to Strength

“I am absolutely thrilled with my personal training program…

which was thoughtfully tailored to my specific stage of life and physical needs. The expertise and care shown in designing a routine that respects my recent shoulder and neck surgeries has already led to noticeable improvements in my strength and mobility. Most importantly, I feel completely supported and guided rather than pressured, making this a truly empowering and positive experience.”

— Marcela, Strong As I Am Client

Returning to strength isn't about proving what you can tolerate. It's about meeting your body where it is today and building capacity thoughtfully from there.

This helps ensure your return-to-strength process is approached with appropriate care, pacing, and support.
