Take Up Space Strength Training

Take Up Space Strength Training I’m an anti-diet fat loss and strength coach that helps my clients stop crash dieting and start lifting weights so they can see results and get confident

04/21/2026

For my beginners 👇

Start off with 2-3 sets of each exercise! 10-12 reps for most but I understand pull ups are a challenge!! I still can’t do 1 regular so assisted is totally fine and if you can only get 4 assisted then that’s where you start 💪

For my intermediate to advanced lifters 👇

If you want to build muscle you need to be doing at least 10 sets per muscle group per week so the more volume you can handle the better 💪

And if you’re tired of trying to figure the weight room out on your own - go to the link in my bio and apply for coaching! I would love to help you get confident AF in the weight room AND in yourself this year 💪

It’s either convincing you to lift weights or music predictions 😂 and it’s mostly music predictions tbh lol

Kicking off festival season with my first Coachella tomorrow baby!

But all jokes aside - I’m so passionate about showing you how fitness allows me to continue to do what I love even into my 30’s 💪 it’s not punishment. It can be the most empowering self love act you can do for yourself. Prioritizing fitness is something you’ll never regret and it can allow you to continue to live your life to the fullest 💪

Stay tuned for Coachella updates 🤪 and if you’re interested in learning more about my coaching method and how I teach my clients how to lift weights and fuel their body SO they can live their life to the fullest and feel their strongest and best - DM me ❤️

Who won?!

I was surprised by this systemic review tbh! I think this is also a great example of people seeing other peoples opinions on social media and then thinking it’s fact - without actually looking at the research.

Why did we buy into the strength training for fat loss rhetoric? Because a lot of people hate cardio 😂 and we looked for any reason to not do it.

But here’s the thing - it really is beneficial (Not just for fat loss but if that’s all you care about here’s the proof)

AND it does NOT make you lose muscle (as long as it’s paired with a high protein diet of course)

Can you still lose body fat while just doing strength training? Yeah! But if you want to optimize your body fat loss then moving your body more (aka steps) and adding cardio to your routine can only help - it can’t hurt.

(Just make sure you’re recovering and not going too crazy 🫶💪)

If you want to learn how to optimize your training so you can see body fat loss AND muscle tone so you can feel your make confident comment confident and I’ll send you a DM to chat about my 1:1 coaching container!

👀

Did I get you?! 😂🤫

We’re breaking up with crash dieting this year guys! And if you have a weight loss goal this year let me teach you how to do it in a healthy way SO YOU CAN KEEP IT OFF.

So you don’t have to panic diet before every event. So you no longer have to cry in the dressing room bc you hate what you see.

So you can focus on living your life and being strong for years to come instead of constantly losing and gaining the same 10 lbs over and over again. That is frustrating AF…and when my coaching program sustainably snatched exists? Completely unnecessary.

Comment confident and I’ll send you a DM to chat about how sustainably snatched can get you 1-2 pant sizes and 10-35 lbs down before your next event but more importantly being able to KEEP those results long term 💪

1 year of teaching and here’s what I actually learned:

Not every class will be full.
Not everyone will like your style.

But the right people will find you—especially when you stop trying to be what you think they want.

Also… effort matters.

You can “just vibe” all you want, but if you’re not prepared, not on beat, and not intentional with your coaching… people feel that too.

There’s a difference between being authentic and being careless.

The magic is in doing both:
showing up as yourself and giving a damn about the experience.

Also there’s room for cardio AND strength training - both are important and if we can make both fun then people will want to exercise for life 😊

If you’re in the Lombard area and would like to try a class at DM me! 🫶🚴‍♀️

I used to say the gym didn’t need to be your entire personality in order to be in the best shape of your life.

And it doesn’t….BUT it DOES need to be PART of your personality. Your identity.

Starting today - you aren’t lazy. You can be tired but you’re still dedicated.

You are someone who prioritizes the gym.

You are someone who lifts weights!

And then prove to yourself you are that person by taking that first step.

Need help taking that first step to actually shifting this belief so you can be consistent 👉 so you can finally be in the best shape of your life?

My 1:1 coaching program Sustainably Snatched is for you!

In this program we take the guesswork out of the weight room so you can show up and get it done. And I teach you how to fuel YOUR body to see muscle gain and body fat loss - no cutting carbs required.

This year you really can be in the best shape of your life - apply through the link in my bio 💪

The just released their new systematic review where they analyzed over 30,000 participants!!

And one of the things they said did NOT contribute to more strength or more muscle gain was training to failure.

That doesn’t mean we don’t need effort though💪

That doesn’t mean we don’t need effort though. This is how I cue my clients to know if they are training hard enough 💪

Go to part 2 to see what training to absolute failure looks like and if anyone tells you you NEED to train to failure - tell them to read the updated research 💁‍♀️

The research confirmed what I’ve been teaching for 10 years 🙌💪

(although I will admit that finding time under tension and training to failure to not increase strength and muscle outcomes was slightly surprising to me - but that’s science for ya, it’s ever changing and evolving 👏)

The research also confirmed that there is NO AGE LIMIT to gain in the benefits of strength training (muscle building included 👏) this should feel empowering! But just like with investing - the sooner you start the better.
