​Rockin' body confidence.
You work hard in the gym. You enjoy getting asked to help move heavy stuff. You are health-conscious. And sleep is your BFF (or you want it to be). If anything, you're too hard on yourself when it comes to your #s.
You want to stay as active as possible for as long as possible, without giving up your strength, sacrificing your health, or destroying your joints.
Imagine building crazy confidence in your lifts while hitting PRs, building sleek sexy muscle on your body, + a sustainable food system without a part-time job training + dieting. I teach you how.
...and I reinvigorate your lifting life by maximizing your gym time so you get fitter, stronger, & flexy-er at the same time without destroying your joints, sacrificing your health, or requiring a part-time job to maintain.
Let's focus all the effort towards the right things at the right time in the right order.
Your time is limited these days, but you'll be darned if you let that be an excuse for mediocrity.
So you go heavy or go home just like you used to but the harder you try, the more captive you become to your program, your nutrition, your gym's class schedule, or your increasingly stiff achy joints.
If only you could find more time & more motivation you could hustle harder...
You got this far by doubling down & grinding it out to get it all in, but it came at a cost... you're exhausted, injured or close to it, & have zero extra time for all the things you used to love.
How do you continue to make gains when you don't have all the time in the world? Without getting weak? Without shrinking?
What if I told you that you could get stronger, better, FASTER by spending less time in the gym AND without sacrificing your health, your joints, or requiring a part-time job to maintain?
Intrigued? Excited? Eager to know more?
Effective strategic strength strategies so you look + feel like the jacked fire-breather you are AND have more time for bucket-list adventures
What my clients say
"
I started working with Gerilyn at a moment of huge change. I had just moved from a city I'd lived in for 16 years, and was in the midst of trying to go from a city-dwelling workaholic to a country-living less-of-a-workaholic. She's been a huge part of making my life change a success. In six months, I've made huge strength gains, but more importantly, she's worked with me around fears related to old injuries, helped me avoid the frustrations that come with managing my body in your late 30s, and approach my training with a much more sane, healthy outlook.
I look forward to seeing what's in the cards for me every week with my training because I know it's all there for a reason (and that reason is literally spelled out for me so I can get smarter about why I do something). My confidence has grown and my body composition has totally changed. I wish I'd started working with Gerilyn years ago, but I'm glad I started when I did.

I started working with Gerilyn when I was at one of those turning points. At the age of 63 I was squatting & deadlifting in the 400s but I decided that wasn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay strong but not just at squatting and benching and deadlifting... when I learned she was coaching other women like me who were making the transition from strength sports to the next phase of their lives, I gave her a call.
I've been really impressed with the collaborative process that goes into figuring out my goals & priorities. We video conference at least once a month & in-between we are in constant contact. And I love the variety of the programming tailored to my goals.
The long-term goal is to make sure I am strong, energetic, & flexible as I charge ahead into my late 60s.

Gerilyn and I worked together years ago, and she introduced me to the joys of heavy lifting. I took what I’d learned from her at that point and ran with it. 7 years later, a ton of stress, and a few natural disasters later, I hit a wall. I’d been pushing harder and harder for so long that my body ran out of reserves and couldn’t rally anymore. I crashed hard. After a year of recovery, (finding a new job, restructuring my life, no working out, and LOTS of doctor’s visits) I got in contact with Gerilyn again. I’m back on it, but with a different approach. The mentality of respecting and LOVING your body, and giving it what it needs to thrive, not punishing yourself for enjoying life and “cheatingâ€. Life is short, and it’s meant to be enjoyed. Today I’m eating more, working less, and seeing more results.
What I love most about the program is how she TAILORS YOUR ROUTINE TO YOU! My schedule is super hectic- nights, days, (21+ days in a row sometimes) and I’m always traveling. She works AROUND my schedule so that it COMPLIMENTS me. I love her “less is more†approach. If it were a matter of working out more, and eating less then I would have been a superhero by now. I’ve always fallen into the trap of thinking relaxing and resting is “being lazyâ€, and would never listen to my body, and give it what it needed to flourish. Gerilyn’s focus is health, and that is so important. She is a wealth of knowledge, and is passionate about what she does. Passion is why we excel in a field – choose passion.â€
