I’ve been a weight lifter on and off for 25 years. I took a long pause when I had kids and was out of a true program for almost 9 years. I had lightly dabbled and gotten back into it over the last couple of years and then I came across this program and thought why not?! It has reminded me of how strong I really am and it’s got the perfect set up challenge yourself and get the progressive overload your body needs to continue to burn fat and change for the better. And the group support has been fun – getting to see other women “in the same boat”, from all walks of life and different parts of the US was motivating and exciting.

I enjoyed the slow transitions each week and it has most certainly helped me with being patient throughout a program and trusting the process. Consistency and great service to the group with quick responses and answers to question allowed me to start and continue the program. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend. Especially as a PT myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge this program gave me.

When I started this program my strength had been progressing, but it was slow going. I was in my comfort zone & I felt like I needed a nudge to get me out of it. I’m not usually someone who lacks initiative or who needs someone to push me, but I had been using weights that were very hard for me & I think that mentally I was stuck. I knew I needed a solid program that would push me out of my comfort zone AND that I wanted a strong female coach. I had been following Andrew for a while, and had seen the videos he posted. I admired how strong she is every time I saw her lift. So when Andrew announced the beta test for this program I jumped on it. No regrets! I have absolutely progressed beyond where I thought I’d be in 12 weeks & I’m excited to continue the next round!

I really liked that it was the same exercises every week so I knew what to expect and it allowed me the chance to actually progress not only in weight but also improve my technique and make adjusts to figure out what works best for me. The sense of community and knowing that Andrew is there to support you whether that be through feedback on any videos you post or just by getting everyone to interact by asking questions in the facebook group. I would definitely recommend this program and invite someone to join programs because I believe it can benefit everyone whether you are just starting out in the gym or you have been at it for a while.

Although he’s not a personal trainer, I relied heavily on my husband to help me with programming and form. I ended up just doing what he was doing, but lighter. My workouts were fine, but inconsistent.

My husband came across this program on Andrew’s Instagram and I thought, “that’s what I need!”

Having a program geared towards my body type has been so great! The workouts are easy to follow and there are lots of substitution options.

The FB group is an easy way to receive support for form and the ladies in the group are also incredibly supportive.

My gym confidence has grown immensely! I’m lifting heavier than I ever have and working out consistently. I don’t feel out of place in the racks next to men anymore!!!!

After the last couple years on the worlds rollercoaster, I was seeking structure, consistency and accountability. I came across my old friends (Andrew) story on IG for a women’s strength program. It was EXACTLY what I needed. I am so grateful for the program and the ladies that are part of it. The group is so supportive. Feedback response time has been incredible and the program was back to the basics and so easy to navigate. The video catalog and substitutions are a perfect compliment to the program. Happy to say I have put a considerable amount of muscle AND back to my heavy lifts (pre-rollercoaster). My mental health has improved considerably and I have a renewed love for heavy lifting!

The program provided me with everything I needed. Amazing trainers. Supportive group. Fast and efficient feedback. And the feeling of success. The [facebook] group made a huge difference. To see other women work the program. Open door policy to ask those questions that maybe you’d never ask in person at a gym. Constant feedback… and fast. Yes yes and yes I would recommend this to a friend. I needed this. I know many women who need this. Lives are busy. Walking into the gym with a plan makes a huge difference”

I loved how the progressive overload was structured and how we could ask questions on anything along the way! Having the resource to ask questions about form and possible substitutions or things to try when my injury was flaring was very helpful to me! I also loved seeing the community aspect of cheering each other on as we continued! Absolutely, I would recommend this program to a friend! Love having the best of both worlds for the community aspect (both participants and knowledgeable resources), but giving us flexibility to self coach! Due to an injury flare up with the knee I won’t be able to participate in round 2, but definitely would be interested in joining again in the future!”
