Founding Trainer
Emily Franklin
Coaching clients through pregnancy, the postpartum return to lifting, and steady strength building for busy schedules.
About Emily
Emily trains clients of all ages and experience levels, including those who are pre or postnatal. Her approach is supportive but effective — she'll meet you where you are and help you build strength and confidence through every session.
She specializes in hypertrophy and bodybuilding-style training, blended with functional movement to help you move well and feel your best. Expect to be challenged — Emily will encourage you to lift heavier than you think you can, because she knows you're capable of more.
Her philosophy is simple: if you want to feel toned, you need muscle — and she's here to help you build it.

Started strength training later in life
"Everything I've read about longevity points to the importance of weight training, so I decided to give it a try… now I'm completely hooked. Emily is lovely, inspiring, and an incredibly skilled teacher. The gym itself is inclusive, positive, and genuinely welcoming — every body truly feels at home here."
Pregnancy through postpartum
"I trained with Emily throughout my entire pregnancy. She knew exactly when to push me and when I needed to take it easy but still move my body. Now that I'm postpartum, it's been great having her guide me in building my strength back up."
