You don't need another rigid plan that doesn't fit your life. You need support that meets you exactly where you are and helps you become the strongest version of yourself in body, mind and soul.

Explore How We Can Work Together

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting over every Monday… You’re not alone!

You know what you should be doing: drinking more water, moving your body, eating better and prioritizing yourself.

But knowing how to actually do it and sticking to it? That’s where it gets hard.

Especially when you’re juggling work, family and a million other responsibilities. Your needs always seem to land at the bottom of the to-do list and the only programs you find are all-or-nothing approaches that expect you to overhaul your entire life just to ‘be healthy’.

You don’t need to change everything. You just need support that works with your real life and not against it.

That’s exactly what The Strength Girl is all about. Build strength that supports you in your body, mind and soul. Fall in love with lifting weights and create sustainable habits that actually stick because they’re built for you.

Hi, I’m Mia, aka The Strength Girl

Female group fitness coach near Paris Ontario in a blue sweatsuit sitting on the floor drinking from a Stanley cup.

I used to believe that being healthy meant being smaller, that exercise was a punishment for what I ate and that my worth was tied to a number on a scale.

I ran myself into the ground trying to fit an impossible standard and it cost me my health, my energy and my happiness.

It wasn’t until I discovered strength training that I found what I really needed for my body, my confidence and my mindset.

Now I help women like you - high-achievers, working moms, women who excel at taking care of everyone else but struggle to prioritize themselves - find the same kind of strength.

Because you deserve to feel strong and confident in your own skin.

What Clients Are Saying

Irene B.

Not your average trainer. As someone who has been working out for over 20 years, I have had many different trainers. My experience with Mia as my one-on-one trainer far exceeds any other trainer I have worked with. Much more than just providing one or two workouts a week, Mia has developed an entire program of accountability and check-ins to help build healthy habits in all aspects of your life. In addition, she provides a supportive and judgment free experience.
Stacey S.

I thought the Learn to Lift program was great for someone like myself who was wanting to learn how to lift weights properly. Your sharing of your knowledge and guidance over the course of the program was really appreciated.
Marie F.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mia both on a personal training level and in her group sessions. Hands-down, she is an excellent trainer! As a kinesiology grad, Mia really knows her stuff and is able to easily accommodate any injuries. She utilizes a holistic approach for personal training clients focussing not on just getting stronger, but on the five pillars of health and goal setting. Would highly recommend her!
Brittany F.

The learning environment in the Lifting Club program is great. I’m feeling stronger day by day. You’re not just building stronger bodies, you are building an incredible community and it’s so awesome to be a part of!
Chelsea D.

Mia is fantastic! I have worked with her in a few different capacities including 1:1 and lifting club. I really can't thank her enough for getting me into lifting. Her approach is supportive, informative and individually tailored. The atmosphere she creates amongst her groups is so encouraging and uplifting (pun intended).
For anyone looking to make healthy changes to their lifestyle I can 100% recommend Mia!
