MEET THE FOUNDER

Why I founded Liftlates

Liftlates was born from my deep love for both weight training and Reformer Pilates.

I’ve always been a weightlifter at heart — a true gym girl who thrives under heavy bars and progressive overload. But even while training hard, I felt like something was missing. I explored mat Pilates, classical reformer, and contemporary styles, yet none of them gave me the athletic challenge or intensity I craved.

So I built what didn’t exist.

I developed an athletic-based strength Reformer program that completely transformed the way I trained. It delivered the same level of push, power, and grit I experienced under heavy weights — while targeting the smaller, stabilizing muscles that traditional lifting often overlooks. I integrated this reformer program with an intentional heavy weight lifting program to birth Liftlates.

As a woman especially, I knew I could never give up lifting heavy. Strength training changes your body in powerful ways — increasing muscle density, reshaping your physique, and building true structural strength. But I discovered that when paired intentionally with athletic Reformer work, something extraordinary happens.

The Liftlates Method — our trademarked, proprietary training system — blends heavy strength training with athletic Reformer programming to create a powerful synergy. The Reformer builds unmatched core strength, control, and muscular precision. That core strength directly translated into my lifts — improving my form and increasing my numbers in movements like deadlifts, back squats, and bench press while protecting my body under heavy load.

Then I took that increased strength back to the Reformer — and sculpted. My waist tightened. My glutes lifted. My legs became sharper and more defined. It became a rhythm — strength and sculpt working together in harmony — each elevating the other.

What I realized is this:
You don’t want one without the other. When you only lift, you miss the refinement. When you only sculpt, you miss the power. Together, they create your strongest, most capable body.

And yet, nowhere offered both in one intentional, integrated method. You had to choose — or train at two separate locations. That gap in the industry is exactly why I founded Liftlates.

This isn’t just a workout format. It’s a training philosophy that transforms not only your body, but your confidence. The strength you build here transfers far beyond the gym. You stand taller. You move differently. You believe in yourself in ways you never have before.

Liftlates is built on community. It feels like a warm hug — but one that challenges you to rise higher. We don’t care where you’re starting or what level you walk in at. There is strength inside you that you haven’t even tapped into yet — and our method brings it out of you, every single time.

You’ll leave stronger.
You’ll leave sculpted.
You’ll leave empowered.

And you’ll keep coming back for more.
