Work here begins with a one-on-one movement assessment and progresses into structured strength and movement programs designed to support long-term function, coordination, and physical confidence.
Training is individualized and intentional, drawing from strength training, boxing-based movement, and mobility work as tools—not trends—to help women move better, feel stronger, and stay capable in everyday life.

What Clients Say

FAQ
Do I need to be in shape first?
No. Training starts with how your body moves right now, not how it looks.
Sessions are built around your current ability and progressed intentionally from there.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing you can move in. Supportive shoes are recommended.
Gloves are provided.
What if I have pain or a past injury?
That’s common. Most women I work with have something going on.
Training is adjusted to respect your body while improving strength, coordination, and movement quality.
Is this physical therapy?
No. Gymnanigans is fitness-based training.
If medical or post-rehab exercise is needed, I’ll refer you to my clinical division, MoveMetrics Mobile Rehab Clinic.
How often should I train?
Most women begin with 1–2 sessions per week.
That’s enough to build strength and consistency without overwhelm.
Training frequency influences results. Additional sessions — even short ones at home — can support faster progress if appropriate.
Do I need boxing experience?
No. This is not about becoming a boxer.
Boxing elements are used to improve coordination, balance, strength, and reaction time. Everything is scaled to your body and experience level.
What is a session like?
A focused blend of:
- Boxing-based movement
- Strength training
- Mobility work
Each session is structured, intentional, and designed for your body — not a generic workout.
