ActiveWomen

Strength & wellbeing coaching for women, grounded in real life.

By day, this is the actual coaching. Almost Local is the personal side of the same person.

How it started

The idea for ActiveWomen took shape during my first pregnancy, in 2018. I was a coach already, but I kept noticing the same thing with my own clients and myself: pregnancy, postpartum and everything after gets treated as a detour from “real” training, something to pause for and eventually get back from. I didn’t want to pause. I wanted training that moved with my body through each stage instead of waiting on the other side of it. By 2019, that idea had turned into an actual business instead of something I just talked about.

What we do

Strength training and wellbeing coaching for women through every stage — preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and everything in between. One-on-one and in small groups, with a small team of coaches alongside me now, plus the book I wrote to put the same philosophy on paper for anyone who can’t get to a studio. The thread running through all of it: fitness that meets you in real life, not some aspirational version of it you’re supposed to get back to.
