Run + Strength + Wellness
Strong does not have to mean complicated.
Misty’s strength coaching is built around consistency, form, recovery, and the kind of progress that supports real life. The goal is not to chase random workouts. The goal is to understand why strength matters, practice it safely, and build a body that feels more capable.

Move well
Start with form, range of motion, balance, and control so strength feels safe and useful.
Build capacity
Use gradual progression to help muscles, tendons, bones, and confidence adapt over time.
Protect recovery
Strength supports training best when it fits the week instead of fighting the rest of your life.

Strength Stories
Clients are building trust in their bodies.
I am 77 years old and I am so glad to be able to strength train. I met Misty about 17 years ago when I thought that I was too old to start running. With Misty’s coaching I have completed 10 marathons and more halves and smaller races than I can count.
Beverly B.I definitely feel so much stronger in all areas: legs, arms, and abs. Beyond the physical improvements, the accountability of this group has been incredible. Historically, I would start workout programs on my own and then lose interest. This time, I have not lost any interest at all. The program keeps me on track, and I genuinely look forward to each workout session. I am also working on getting back into running, with a 5K race planned next month. Thanks to Coach Misty, I feel more prepared and motivated than ever.
Erica M.Great workouts! Thanks to Coach Misty. You are the best trainer ever! You change things up and make it harder. Love it. Getting stronger every day. Cannot wait for the next program.
Candace M.I was at a place in my life where I really needed to hit a reset button on my fitness routine. Misty’s fitness challenge presented itself at the perfect time to help me refocus and get back to showing up for myself. It is a great place for both beginner and seasoned workout enthusiasts because it allows you to adjust weight and resistance for your individual needs while increasing it when you are ready for more gains. More than that, these challenges remind you that you are capable and help you prioritize your fitness.
Sarah M.Coach Misty’s program and weight training are truly life-changing, especially for those of us between 45 and 60. My form and balance have improved 100%, and my core strength and endurance are steadily getting better. Every day brings a workout that challenges me both mentally and physically, and I have learned to embrace whatever surprise comes next. The real gift has been waking up each day and choosing to show up for myself.
