About & Services
Coaching that treats you like a person, not a program.
Stronghardt exists for the women who've been handed cookie-cutter plans, quit three gyms, and still want to feel strong in their own lives. The work here is specific, steady, and built to compound — week after week.
Our Coaching Philosophy
Strength isn't found — it's built. And we're here to help you build it.
Stronghardt is for women who want more than one-size-fits-all workout plans, have tried high-volume gyms, and are still looking for something that helps them stay consistent and actually build strength in their lives. The workouts are structured, and the approach is steady and supportive — designed to help you build strength week after week.
Our coaching is built on consistent communication and regular check-ins, keeping you engaged, supported, and progressing with lasting results. Our coaches know you personally, notice when you miss a session, and follow up to keep you on track — one of the key reasons clients continue to grow stronger year after year.
Training Options
Find your fit.
Every client begins with a consult call. We'll talk through your goals, schedule, and what will help you stay consistent — then match you with the right training option.
This gives us a clear understanding of your background and current needs so we can set you up for success from day one. From there, we'll schedule your onboarding session(s) before you join a small group.
Small Group
Train alongside other women with a coach who guides and supports you every step of the way. After onboarding, you'll join a structured program tailored to your experience and goals — so you can progress at a pace that works for you.
Designed for consistency, connection, and real accountability that keeps you showing up and getting stronger:
- Progressive workouts that build week after week
- Personalized coaching with real-time feedback and technique support
- A community that notices and checks in when you miss a session
- Reliable, scheduled time slots you can count on each week
Virtual Coaching
Coached strength training you can do from your home gym or fitness center. Designed for women who need a flexible way to stay consistent without losing structure and support. Perfect for clients training for fitness events or fitting workouts around travel and busy schedules.
- Weekly strength program delivered to you
- Coach check-ins with feedback and guidance
- Minimal equipment, built around what you have
- Real accountability that fits your schedule
Getting Started
First steps, set up for success.
Before you join a small group program, we start with onboarding session(s) designed to meet you exactly where you are. We'll introduce you to the gym, walk you through the equipment, and make sure you feel confident and comfortable with your coach by your side.
During this baseline session, we train at your pace while also talking through your goals, training history, and any past injuries or limitations.
This is what makes our coaching different from group workouts alone — we don't just place you in a class, we set you up to succeed in it. Our goal is for you to step into your first group session already knowing the flow, understanding the expectations, and feeling ready to get the most out of your training from day one.
- Baseline movement and strength assessment
- Review of your training history, goals, and any injuries
- Guided first workout at your pace
- Getting you set up for your small group membership and/or additional onboarding sessions, as determined by your coach

From Our Clients
Clients stay committed because they're seeing real progress.
“I've worked out most of my life, but never consistently — I thought I didn't need a weightlifting class… but the structure and accountability completely changed my fitness routine. Two years later, I'm still going strong!
“What started as an 8-week commitment turned into a life-changing habit I haven't stopped for over 2 years.
“I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my body than ever before.
“Miriam helped me shift my mindset from losing weight to gaining strength — and it changed everything.
“I'm finally free from obsessing over the scale after 40 years. That alone is life-changing.
“The camaraderie and support among the women is genuine and uplifting. I've made real friendships here — both in and out of the gym.
“Joining this group was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I recommend this small group program to everyone — just try it. You won't regret it.
“My cholesterol levels are in a normal range now with the only change being from building muscle! Before I started to work out with Miriam my cholesterol levels had hiked up and were at the low end of “high.” After just a couple months of strength training twice a week, my cholesterol went into the normal range!
“Strength!!! I can now pick up my 5 year old granddaughter from a squat without any assistance or holding on! I can't believe how much stronger and more stable my body is!
“Wow! Amazing! I have never felt strong in my entire life until now! 💪 Thank you for your training and encouragement!
“Since I started training with you, I've noticed a positive change in my body composition. My posture is improving, and I feel stronger. I've even upped the weights I use even when working out outside of our sessions. Finally, I find I'm less stressed on the days I work out with you. Thanks for being a great coach!
“I love the way you are helping me focus on what I need to do to help me stay running strong. You are full of on-the-spot modifications if an exercise doesn't work for me.
“I could ski for hours now without getting sore — my whole body and especially my legs are super strong from the training! Thanks for all the strength training prep to get me ready for ski season!
