You don't need another generic program.
You need coaching built for you.
Anne works with women at every stage of life who are ready to stop guessing and start doing something that actually works.
Women ready to build strength
Not just lose weight. You want to feel capable and powerful in your body. You're done chasing a number on the scale and ready to chase something that actually matters.
Postpartum women
Your body has done something extraordinary. Now you want to rebuild, safely and on your own timeline. Not to bounce back. Just to feel like yourself again.
Women in perimenopause or menopause
Hormonal shifts are real. So is the confusion around them. You deserve a coach who actually understands what's happening in your body and how to train and eat for it.
Women tired of generic advice
You've tried the programs. They weren't built for you. You want coaching that fits your life, your body, and where you actually are right now. Not where someone thinks you should be.
Women who want a smarter approach
Evidence-based, practical, and sustainable. No fads, no shame, no one-size-fits-all plans. Just a clear path forward that you can actually stick to.
Women navigating life transitions
Career changes, motherhood, aging, recovery. Life doesn't pause for fitness. Your coaching shouldn't either.
Women deserve smarter coaching.
That's not a slogan. It's the whole point.
Serious credentials, real-world application
NSCA-certified personal trainer. USA Weightlifting Level 1 coach. CrossFit Level 1 trainer. 1st Degree Black Belt. Former licensed speech-language pathologist with graduate-level training in communication and human development. Anne knows the science and she knows how to actually explain it to you.
Women-first, always
Not a generic program with a women's version bolted on. Anne's entire coaching practice is built around how women's bodies actually work. Through hormonal shifts, postpartum recovery, aging, and real life.
Strength and nutrition together
Most coaches do one or the other. Anne coaches the whole picture. How you train, how you eat, how you recover, and how it all fits into the life you're actually living right now.
No BS, no shame
No fad diets. No messaging about getting smaller. No programs that make you feel bad about where you are. Anne's coaching is built on evidence, experience, and a lot of respect for the women she works with.
Your body is not the problem.
The information you've been given is.
Anne's coaching is built on a few core beliefs. They shape everything, from how she programs training to how she talks about food.
Strong is better than small.
The goal isn't to shrink. It's to build something. Strength changes how you move, how you feel, and how you show up in every part of your life.
Nutrition should support your life, not control it.
Food is not the enemy. Confusion is. Anne cuts through the noise and helps you eat in a way that actually works for your body, your schedule, and your sanity.
Women deserve better information.
Most fitness research was done on men. Most programs were built for men. Anne's coaching is grounded in what we actually know about women's physiology, hormones, and health.
Coaching should fit the woman.
Not the other way around. There's no one-size-fits-all plan here. Your body, your history, your life. That's where the plan starts.
Real life matters.
Stress, sleep, work, kids, hormones. It all affects your training and your results. Anne coaches the whole picture, not just the hour you're in the gym.
"You are not too late. You are not broken. You are powerful. You belong here."

Coach. Gym owner. Mom of three.
Lifelong student of strength.
Anne Kiernan is a coach, gym owner, mom of three, and a lifelong student of strength. She's been in the fitness world long enough to know what works and what's just noise.
Before she was a coach, Anne spent years as a licensed speech-language pathologist. She knows how to listen, how to communicate, and how to meet people where they are. That doesn't go away when you walk into a gym.
She owns The Forge gym, holds a 1st Degree Black Belt in Isshinryu Karate, and is currently pursuing advanced certifications in nutrition counseling and women-specific coaching. She's not done learning. She doesn't expect you to be either.
She coaches women who are tired of being told to get smaller, tired of programs that weren't built for them, and ready for something that actually works.

Real women. Real results.
Coaching that actually fits your life.
I've worked with a lot of coaches. Anne is the first one who actually understood what was happening with my body during perimenopause and built a program around it instead of ignoring it.
