I needed to remind myself of this today.

Motivation won’t always show up with you.

Some days you’ll feel strong.
Some days you’ll feel tired.
Some days you’ll question whether you even want to be there.

Show up anyway.

Because progress isn’t built on the days when everything feels easy. It’s built on the days you choose to keep your promise to yourself—even when you don’t feel like it.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to keep showing up.

That’s where strength is built. 🖤

Hi 👋🏽 I’m Dorothea or Doe and this is why I love coaching.
I didn’t start lifting young. I started in my late 30s.

I was a mother of four, going through a divorce, working on my degrees, and working multiple jobs from morning, noon, and night.

When I first walked into a gym, I was intimidated. I was insecure. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I certainly didn’t know what I was capable of.

I know what it feels like to believe the world—and even your genetics—is working against you.

That’s a huge part of why I coach.

I get to combine the knowledge I gained through my degrees with my own experience training and competing as a powerlifter to help people discover what they are capable of.

And it doesn’t matter where you’re starting.

Maybe you want to lose weight. Get stronger. Build muscle. Move without pain. Compete. Improve your confidence. Or simply feel better in your own body.

Your goal is your goal. And I’m here to help you get there.

One of my favorite parts of coaching is watching a client set a goal—and then watching that goal evolve because they unlocked potential they didn’t even know they had.

I love seeing clients grow stronger physically, but I love seeing them grow mentally just as much.

I love hearing that their everyday aches and pains are improving.

I love seeing them show up at the gym on their own, outside of our training sessions.

I love watching someone overcome mental struggles through physical activity.

Because PRs come in all forms.

A PR can be adding weight to your squat.

It can be walking into the gym when you almost talked yourself out of going.

It can be moving without pain.

It can be doing something you were convinced you couldn’t do.

It can be finally believing, “Maybe I’m capable of more than I thought.”

I’m not here just to make people move heavy weight.

I’m here to help people discover their strength—in the gym and in life.

This is my why.
This is why I love what I do.
This is why I coach.

Because I know where I started.

And there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone discover where they can go. 🖤

SKO’DEN!

When “heavy” isn’t actually a strength problem.

I happened to be at the gym while one of my online clients was training, and I noticed she was struggling with her deadlifts. I asked how they felt, and her answer was simple: “Heavy.”

So I watched.

What I saw wasn’t that she couldn’t handle the weight. She was losing tension in her lats, which was causing the deadlift to feel more like a pull than a push.

We went back to the basics:
• Brace before the pull
• Pull the slack out of the bar
• Engage the lats and maintain tension
• Push the floor away rather than simply pulling the bar up

Once she made those adjustments, the exact same weight moved differently.

And that’s why I recorded the before and after.

Not just so she could see the difference—but so she could feel and understand what changed.

My mission as a coach isn’t to see how much weight I can get my clients to move.

It’s to teach them how to move it well.

Technique comes before load.
Control comes before ego.
Safety comes before PRs.

I even told her that if she couldn’t correct the movement after we worked through the cues, we would lower the weight. There is absolutely no shame in that.

Because a heavier lift with compromised technique isn’t a win.

My clients’ safety will always be my top priority. The goal isn’t simply to move more weight.

The goal is to become stronger, safer, more confident, and more capable in the process.

That’s coaching. 🏋️‍♀️

Strength isn’t just about what you can lift. It’s about how well you can lift it.
