How can I start exercising if I’ve never worked out before?

Bethany provides beginner-friendly strength coaching designed for women who feel intimidated by gyms or traditional fitness. You’ll start with simple, accessible movements and progress at a pace that respects your capacity.

Can I exercise with chronic pain or chronic illness?

Yes. We specialize in chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Your plan is individualized to manage symptoms, reduce flare risk, and build strength gradually, based on how your body responds.

How do I build strength without going to the gym?

Coaching includes at-home, virtual, and low-equipment programming so you can build strength in an environment that feels comfortable and nonjudgmental.

Is your coaching body-positive and inclusive for Black and brown women?

Yes. Head 2 Toe Strength centers Black and brown women, women of color, women in nontraditional bodies, and LGBTQ+ adults. Coaching is weight-neutral, anti-diet, and designed for clients who have felt judged or excluded in traditional fitness spaces.

1:1 strength coaching includes movement assessment, technique coaching, personalized progressions, and ongoing adjustments based on your goals, symptoms, schedule, and capacity.

Can I train with you if I have chronic pain or past injuries?

Strength Training for Women & LGBTQ+ Adults — Without the Gym Culture BS

Most women come to me thinking they need a personal trainer. What they’re really looking for is a woman who says, “I hear you. That makes sense. Let’s figure out what you want your physical health journey to look like.”

So many of us were taught that the answer is more cardio, more steps, more shrinking. Cardio has its place, but it can’t build the confidence, stability, or long-term resilience your life actually requires. Lifting weights is the only form of training that strengthens your bones, supports your joints, improves your balance, and gives you a body you can trust as you age.

Strength training isn’t about punishment or performance. It’s about building a relationship with your body that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely empowering.

Real coaching. Real movement. Zero performance theater.

You deserve strength training that respects your body, your history, and your goals — not a bootcamp, not a weigh-in, and not a coach yelling generic cues at you. This is 1:1 coaching built around you.

I assess how you move, how you load, how you stabilize, and how your body adapts. Your training plan evolves session by session based on your capacity, your experience level, and the life you’re living outside the gym.

Strength Training That Actually Works for Your Body

Whether you're:

rebuilding strength after injury
dealing with chronic pain
navigating mobility limitations
brand-new to strength training
returning to fitness after time away
an athlete balancing sport-specific work
tired of being coached like a machine

You’ll get movement that makes sense for your body right now — and builds the kind of strength that lasts.

This approach prioritizes function, confidence, nervous-system friendly progressions, and long-term resilience, not punishment or exhaustion.

Full movement assessment and strength baseline
Personalized programming tailored to your goals
