  • The Importance of Protein Intake for Women in Resistance Training

    As women embarking on a journey of strength training, it's crucial to understand the pivotal role that protein intake plays in achieving our fitness goals. Whether you're lifting weights to tone up, build muscle, or enhance overall health, prioritizing protein consumption is essential for optimizing performance and maximizing results. Here's why protein matters, especially in conjunction with resistance training: Muscle Repair and Growth : Protein is comprised of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle tissue. Resistance training creates micro-tears in muscle fibers, and adequate protein intake supports the repair and growth of these tissues. Consuming protein post-workout ....

  • The Vital Role of Resistance Training for Women

    In the pursuit of fitness, women often find themselves bombarded with conflicting advice and trends. Amidst the noise, one aspect stands out as a cornerstone of physical well-being: resistance training. Despite lingering myths and misconceptions, embracing resistance training is not just beneficial but vital for women seeking holistic health and strength. Firstly, let's dispel the notion that lifting weights will make women bulky. This fear stems from a misunderstanding of how the female body responds to resistance training. In reality, women lack the testosterone levels necessary to develop the significant muscle mass associated with a "bulky" physique. Instead, resistance training helps ....

  • Becoming Momstrong

    I have been longing to start this blog for more time than I’m willing to admit. Let’s just say, life has been BUSY! Obviously I had no idea when I finally left television news at the end of 2018, that barely more than a year later our world would be flipped upside down. My timing (or rather, God’s timing) could not have been better. And you’ll probably hear me say that a lot as I tell my story. But for now, I’ll keep it simple — I am glad I got out of the news before Covid hit. That said, here is the short version of how Momstrong Fitness started… A short history: In 2005 I started college at a local JC studying whatever interested me. In 2008 ....

Heather is the best! She makes every session really personal making it fun and comfortable. She designs each workout so that it is unique to what you're wanting to accomplish. I've signed up for 4 rounds of sessions with her and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to lose weight, tone up, learn how to be comfortable around the gym, or anything else! Love her!!

Finding the energy and wanting to work out can be really hard. sure days all I want to do is relax and disconnect from the world. Heather makes the workout worth it. Your body may be tired but your energy and mentality will be energized. She accommodates as best as she can in a multitude of ways while also ensuring the workout is challenging and not overly taxing. Her knowledge and expertise shines through when she's teaching new exercises and spotting form to make sure life long habits are built properly. She's top notch and will kick your butt (not just on glute day.)

I came across Heather by a stroke of luck and I am so glad I did! I started my training with some hefty weight loss goals after having a baby and have since met those goals. Now we are building muscles! Heather has personalized many of my sessions to accommodate health issues and because of that, I have not given up. Heather is an awesome trainer who will teach you, encourage you, make you laugh, and inspire you to keep reaching for your goals. She is the best of the best!
