How To Start Lifting Weights: Real Women’s Stories


“I just started working out on my own at a weightlifting gym, and I absolutely love it so far. Watching videos from MegSquats helped a lot. Seeing how strong she is and the other women she features in her videos is motivating. 

I still have hip pain that I’m working through and really intense strength asymmetry, but I absolutely love lifting. It’s made me so much more robust in my day-to-day life. I’m hoping I can connect with other women in my city that lift, too. 

Shortly after I started lifting, I came home still in my gym clothes and went to get my daughter up for breakfast. She asked why I had on funny clothes, and I told her I was going to the gym more now. Then, unprompted, she said, ‘Mama, get strong like daddy and carry me.’ That was enough to have me fully hooked forever.”
