One of our favorite parts about WOW?

Every woman starts somewhere different.

Some are stepping into strength training for the very first time.
Some are longtime athletes.
Some are rebuilding confidence after injury, burnout, menopause, motherhood, divorce, grief… life.

And all of you belong here.

WOW is a space where women get stronger physically — yes —
but also mentally and emotionally.

Where encouragement matters.
Where progress matters more than perfection.
Where showing up counts.

This is women supporting women in the best possible way.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start…
this might be it. 💛

Come lift with us.

First class is on us.

A few years ago, I realized something.

Somewhere along the way, many adults stop playing.

Not because they outgrow it.
Because they get busy.

We trade recess for responsibilities.
Curiosity for productivity.
Play for performance.

But here's what I've learned after a career in movement, education, coaching, and adventure:

Play isn't a distraction from life.

It's one of the ways we come alive.

Play helps us connect.
Play sparks creativity.
Play builds resilience.
Play reminds us not to take ourselves quite so seriously.

And perhaps most importantly, play creates joy.

So this summer, consider this your permission slip.

Slide down the slide.
Jump in the river.
Ride the bike.
Try something new.
Be a beginner.
Laugh a little louder.

Adults need recess too.

Find your people.
Go play.
Joy will follow.

What does play look like in your life these days?

This is why we do what we do.

We believe that adventure changes us.

In moments like this—when something shifts.

When you realize:
“I’m stronger than I thought.”
“I can do hard things.”
“I belong here.”

That’s the DOSE Effect.

Not all bikepackers carry their own gear. 😆♨️🚵‍♀️

One of the perks of our DOSE Adventures?
Incredible guides, supported rides, hot springs, campfire laughs, and women who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Adventure doesn’t need to be Type 2 Fun
AND…
You don’t have to do it alone.

A couple spots still open for this summer’s Idaho Hot Springs Adventure. 👀

YAY BIKES!

We’re not just training for the gym.

We’re training for summer adventures.
For stronger climbs.
Longer rides.
Backpacking trips.
Ski season.
Better balance.
More energy.
And the confidence to keep saying YES to hard things.

WOW was designed by women, for women — blending strength, mobility, mindset, and community into one supportive space.

No intimidation.
No ego.
No needing to “already be fit.”

Just real women showing up consistently and getting stronger together.

And yes… 6 AM somehow becomes one of the best parts of the week. ☀️

If you’ve been thinking about trying WOW, we’d love to have you join us.

First class is on us.

There’s a moment on this adventure where something shifts.

It’s not loud.
It’s not dramatic.

But you feel it.

Maybe it’s after a climb you were hesistant about.
Maybe it’s sitting around camp, realizing how much you’ve opened up.
Maybe it’s just the quiet confidence of being out there… doing the thing.

And you think:

“Wait… I can do this.”

That’s what women are talking about when they leave the White Rim.

Not just the miles.
Not just the views.

But that feeling of coming back to yourself again.

We’re in the window now of building the 2026 crew.

P.S. If strength is part of your “say yes” this year…

One of the biggest questions I get about our White Rim Adventure is:

“Is this something I can really do?”

And the answer is… (hell) yes—with our support squad.

This isn’t a show-up-and-figure-it-out trip.

You’re supported every step of the way—by an incredible all-women crew, professional guides, and a group that’s in it together.

We ride.
We snack.
We laugh a lot.
Did I mention snacks?
We take it one section at a time.

And somewhere along the way, you find your flow.

Confidence builds.
Doubt quiets down.
And you realize you’re more capable than you thought.

“You don’t really expect this…”

That’s what I hear over and over again after this adventure.

You sign up thinking it’s about the ride.
The views.
Maybe a personal challenge.

But what catches people off guard is how it *feels*.

The quiet moments out there.
The laughter that just shows up.
The way a group of women—most who didn’t know each other—start to feel like a team.

And somewhere along the way…

You realize you’re doing something you weren’t quite sure you could do.

That’s where the confidence comes from.
That’s where the connection comes from.
That’s the DOSE Effect.

There’s a certain kind of adventure that stays with you.

Not just because of the views (although… this place is unreal).

But because of how you feel while you’re in it —
present, challenged, supported, connected… and a little more like yourself again.

Last fall, a group of women said yes to riding the White Rim.

Some arrived excited.
Some arrived unsure.
Most arrived not fully knowing what they were capable of.

And they left with something bigger than a bike ride.

Confidence.
Connection.
That quiet belief of… “I can do hard things.”

I haven’t talked about this trip much lately —
