Transform your body. Grow stronger. Reclaim your confidence.
Strength training in Wake Forest, NC, for women who are done with fad dieting and ready to feel powerful in their own body - led by a trainer who lost 70 pounds and has walked this road herself for years.
Meet Your Trainer
Hi, I'm Penny. I’m a Certified NASM Trainer, and I’ve spent 36 years battling my weight - diet after diet, gaining it all back, losing hope.
In 2023, I changed my approach. I started lifting weights, eating protein and whole foods, and treating my body with respect. Three years later, I'm down 70 pounds, stronger than I've ever been, and a certified NASM trainer helping other women do the same.
If you've been searching for a long-term solution - things that actually work to change your body - let's talk.
What Transformation Looks Like
Lose Fat & Gain Muscle
Build the lean muscle that reshapes your body, burns fat, and boosts your metabolism — even in perimenopause and menopause.
Strength That Lasts
Lift heavier, get stronger, and watch your body do things you didn't think it could. Build muscle for a long, healthy, independent life.
Confidence That Lasts
Walk into any gym, any room, any moment of your life knowing you are strong, capable, and exactly where you want to be.
Real Women. Real Strength. Real Change.
I have the deepest gratitude for Penny’s guidance.
“When we first met, I was burnt out from attempting to train all my muscle groups in single sessions while also struggling with perimenopausal symptoms. While training, Penny showed the importance of proper technique and progressive overload. She also showed me how to structure my workouts effectively, provided essential nutritional advice for muscle retention and growth, and referred me to doctors who specialize in hormone health.
Her passion for helping women feel confident in their bodies is clear, and her gift in teaching is truly impressive. I am so grateful for the impact Penny has had on my weight loss and strength training journey.”
— Diana, 44, Raleigh
Penny was phenomenal.
“She was such an inspiration to me. She helped me learn the right foods to eat for muscle building and strength training for building muscle. Most importantly, she helped me understand the lifestyle change I so desperately needed. She is the real deal and highly recommend her for your weight loss journey.”
— Shannon, 48, Louisburg
Thanks for keeping it fun and always cheering us on.
“Hi Penny. I just wanted to thank you for all the time and prep you put into this morning's class. I loved it… even though it nearly killed me after the long weekend! You're the best!!”
— Kate, 48, Wake Forest

Nutritional Coaching
Let's get your nutrition right so you can finally see all the hard work you've been putting in at the gym.
Beat Anxiety & “Gymtimidation”
If walking into the gym feels overwhelming — men, machines, and muscle everywhere, while you stand there feeling lost, insecure, and unsure where to even start — I see you. I have BEEN you.
That feeling is exactly why Inspire Fitness Training exists. I'll teach you how to use the equipment properly. How to lift safely. How to tune into your own body and push yourself the right way. And by the time we're done, you'll walk into the gym like you own the place — because you'll have confidence and knowledge of what to do.
Bad form leads to injuries, plateaus, and a lot of wasted effort. Good form — taught well, practiced consistently — leads to the body and the confidence you want.
Let's get you there together.
