Strong women, lifting each other.

Strength and group fitness for women in Ankeny, Iowa. Every class is beginner friendly, and your first one is on us.

We rise by lifting others.

It is painted on our wall because it is how the room works. You train in a small group, with a coach watching your form and the women around you cheering the rep you did not think you had.

Never touched a barbell? Good. Every class is built for all levels, so the woman next to you might be on her first session or her hundred and fiftieth, and you will both leave stronger.

Every session counts here. Literally.

We keep count, and when a member hits a milestone, 110, 150, 170 sessions, she gets her photo on the board with the whole gym behind her.

Everyone's count starts at one. Yours can start this week, free.
