The Ballard-based gym location is rebranding and refocusing as Friends of the Gym, and the ultimate programming is staying with me, Coach Bert, as Strive & Uplift here! I’m so excited for the gym to take this next step and am sending all my love always to the Friends of the Gym! It’s such a […]
One of my favorite things about Strive & Uplift is how much we support each other in growth and change! We do this with clients and members, with our coaching team, and for ourselves. We’re incredibly excited to announce that Becca and Kira are going to be starting their own coaching operations in May! This […]

All our COVID and cancellation policies for in-person classes apply to that section of the class.
Your coaches are hard at work refining enrollment systems, jamming on space capacity, and moving things around/out of the Ballard gym space – the goal is to improve your movement experience! As a part of these shifts, we’re taking some Gym Access times off the schedule that haven’t been getting utilized, and also eliminating access […]
Written by Coach Ren The “Long Dark” is upon us, and the holidays are challenging for many people. We’ve been sharing ideas during our class check-ins about how to support ourselves during this time of the year.
