​
Leah will meet you where you’re at in your fitness journey. You don’t have to know where you’re headed to start. You can be nervous, struggling with even finding the motivation to begin, struggling to love and appreciate your body as it is. Come as you are. We’ll talk about what feels good and what doesn’t and begin to see how movement can bring healing and empowerment.
​
Leah finds weightlifting and moving their body to be one of the best parts of their day and they are excited to help you discover the joy and release in it too.
