THE FOUNDATION OF A STRONGER, HEALTHIER YOU

The science is clear: building muscle is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. It supports healthy aging, boosts metabolism, sharpens cognition, strengthens bone density, and more. Despite the common myth that muscle makes you "bulky", fitness experts know: building muscle is the real key to getting that "toned" and sculpted look.

What’s often overlooked? NOT ALL WORKOUTS ARE CREATED EQUAL when it comes to building muscle. Many fitness classes are actually centered around cardio and endurance, rather than muscle growth.  While we value all ways of moving, building muscle is an essential pillar of health & wellness that can get lost in the world of fitness trends and social media advice.

That’s where we come in.

BUILD Lift Club workouts are specifically designed to help you BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS. Co-founded by board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and veteran fitness instructor Dr. Caitlin Mao, we combine high level expertise with real world coaching experience to deliver results. Our programs are rooted in proven strength training principles and backed by high-quality evidence.

WE DON'T CHASE A BURN—WE TRAIN WITH PURPOSE.

More and more, science supports the life-changing power of building muscle—especially for women. (No, you won't get bulky!) We're here to take the guesswork out of it and make building muscle your new favorite hobby 💪 

Join us today and BUILD your strongest self yet.
