Come learn to lift with a group of women. We'll build the foundation and you'll leave knowing what to do.
We've all heard that lifting heavy is what our bodies need, especially after 40.
Bone density, energy, muscle, mood, sleep. The science is solid.
And lifting is simpler than people make it sound.
Somehow it's been made to feel overly complicated. There's too much confusing and conflicting information out there. It can actually be simple, fun, and empowering.
We'll give you a simple structure and the handful of principles and moves to get you started, and to keep going.
Two coaches on the floor for each session.
Get familiar with the move patterns every strength program is built on. Learn form, timing, intensity, and how lifting should actually feel.
Demystify the bar. Set it up, load it, pick it up, put it down. Finalize your plan with starting weights and a way to progress. Walk out ready to lift on your own.
By the end of two Sundays, you'll have:
This club is built for women new to lifting heavy, but it assumes you've been moving regularly in some form — classes, running, walking, hiking, anything that keeps you generally active.
Secure your spot. Confirmation + intake form by email.

Hi, I'm Roxana. I learned to lift in high school because a friend showed me how. That's it — no class, no app, no program. Just someone next to me saying try this. I've gotten more serious about it in the past few years, and I want more women to have that experience.
My day job has been building things in health and wellness tech — as an engineer and then product executive, I worked at companies like Peloton, Verily, Dexcom and others, and the thing I keep learning is that behavior change is hard, and nothing beats in-person support, real community, and developing a genuine sense of mastery.
Sunday Lifting Club is one of the ways I'm hoping to bring more health-minded women together.

No. The Club is designed for women new to lifting heavy. If you've never touched a barbell, or if you've been in a gym but felt unsure, you're in the right place.
Strength is what you'll build here, not the prerequisite. We'll meet you where you are, as long as you've been generally active in some form.
Comfortable workout clothes you can move in, flat-soled shoes if you have them (sneakers are fine), and water. That's it.
The two Sundays build on each other, so we'd encourage you to be there for both. If something comes up, get in touch and we'll figure out how to catch you up.
Not exactly. You'll absolutely move and practice the lifts, but the Club is designed more as a guided introduction to strength training than a traditional fitness class. The goal is understanding, not exhaustion.
A private studio in Mountain View, near El Camino and San Antonio. Full address sent with your booking confirmation.
In July, we're piloting coached open lifting — an hour to come lift with coaches on the floor, on your own plan, on your own schedule. Bring the plan you built in the Club. We'll be there for cueing, form checks, and to help you progress.
There will be more cohorts. Drop your email in the signup section and we'll let you know when the next Sunday Lifting Club opens up.
This is the first time I'm running the Club, and I want to build it with the women who show up. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
