What clients have to say…

Amitha Raman, Age 39; NYC
I started training with Lala in person in New York in 2019. From the beginning, I really appreciated how she customized each session to fit my goals, which were mostly about aesthetics. Since then, we have continued to train virtually 3-4 times per week consistently, whether I'm in my home gym, a commercial gym, or a hotel gym while traveling. I've seen a huge improvement in my strength and muscle definition (my main aesthetic goal). Over the years we have changed up the program to address different life stages - from training for my wedding, to becoming a new mom. I even introduced Lala to my sister, who now trains with her as well.

I never thought I would be strong enough to lift the amount of weight I have worked up to. Working with Lala helped me get strong not only physically but mentally and emotionally. I also never thought I would be that person who needed exercise in her life every day. My brain and my body crave that release - that replenishment of hormones that takes place during and after strength training which always helps me refocus and re-energize for the rest of my day.

Lynn O'Neil, Age 54; Minneapolis
I was intimidated by weight training and thought that lifting wasn't for me. But when I started working with Lala I discovered a love and sense of empowerment by lifting. I have been lifting with Lala for 5 years. Lala's expertise prepared me for shoulder replacement surgery due to RA and helped keep me strong through the recovery.
I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer and I attribute my body's ability to tolerate chemotherapy to strong muscle mass and my positive attitude to the motivation of her training sessions. When I am in the gym with Lala, I don't feel like a cancer patient, I feel alive, I feel strong, I feel unstoppable.
Common questions and concerns around strength training for women
-
You don’t have to lift heavy every day—but progressively challenging your muscles with resistance is what creates real change. “Heavy” is relative to you. For one woman it may be a 25-pound dumbbell, for another it’s her own body weight. What matters most is that you’re lifting with good form, building strength over time, and giving your body a reason to adapt. Stronger muscles mean better energy, metabolism, bone health, and confidence.
-
Lifting weights will not make you bulky—period. Women simply don’t have the testosterone levels to build muscle that way. What you will build is definition, shape, and strength. Muscle is what gives you that toned, lean, and sculpted look most women want. Strength training actually helps reduce body fat and improves hormone balance, joint health, and longevity. Bulky is a myth—strong is the goal.
-
First, you a have to change your mindset around your health and longevity. Boredom happens when your workouts lack purpose or variety. The key is structure with intention. Rotate training phases, mix up movement patterns, and challenge yourself with new goals—like hitting a heavier lift, improving conditioning, or mastering a skill. When you train with a plan (and not just for calorie burn), every session feels like progress—not punishment.
