Personal Strength Training for women in Wake Forest, NC
One-on-one training designed to reshape your body, restore your confidence, and teach you how to train for life - in your home or at the gym.
Supportive, Customized Training for Women
These one-on-one sessions are built around YOU - your goals, experience level, schedule, and body. We focus on proper form, progressive strength building, and helping you feel confident with weights, whether we're training at home or at the gym.
It’s highly recommended to do one-on-one training at least 2-3 times per week.
Personal training lets me create a fully customized exercise program for you that we work through together — adjusted over time based on your progress and new goals. Your workouts stay effective, safe, and aligned with where you're headed. Your goals are the top priority in our sessions together!
In addition to our in-person sessions, you'll have clear instructions on what to focus on until the next week's sessions. This provides direction and accountability, builds consistency, reinforces what you're learning, and moves you toward your goals faster.
Throughout our work together, you'll gain more than just a workout. You'll get accountability, hands-on training, education on proper technique, best exercise practices for women, and recovery strategies - so you're not just following a plan, you're building the kind of body and creating habits for a sustainable lifestyle of healthy, independent living.

Things start to shift. Clothes fit differently. You're recovering faster. You're lifting more than you thought you could. Your energy and your mood begin to follow your training.

Real body composition changes with muscle definition. Confidence with weights you used to walk past. A routine you actually look forward to — and the proof that you can absolutely do this.
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.”

Absolutely not. Women don't have the testosterone levels to bulk up the way men do. What you'll get is lean, defined muscle that reshapes your body and burns more calories at rest.
-
Most clients feel stronger within 2–3 weeks. Visible body composition changes typically show up between weeks 10–12. The biggest predictor of results is consistency, progression, and your nutrition.
-
Perfect — this is a great place to start. You’ll start with the basics, learn proper form, and progress at a safe pace.

Not necessarily. We can train in your home (a few key pieces of equipment is enough to start), at the gym, or build a hybrid plan that works for you.
-
Never. Strength training is one of the most important things women over 35 can do for longevity, bone density, physical, mental and hormonal health, and improving strength.

Yes, and it's something I'm uniquely equipped to support having personally used a GLP to aid me in my health journey. Strength training while on a GLP is critical to preserving and building muscle, which protects your metabolism and shapes your body as you lose weight, so you don't end up looking like a bag of milk!
