hi, I’m lyndsey, Founder of slam
I’m the badass coach you need in your life. So come on, bitches - let’s lift heavy and live large.
I coach strength and conditioning for the queers, the feminists, the misfits, the ones who’ve been told they’re too loud, too weird, too much. My work is about building muscle, burning the rulebook, and unlearning the bullshit that told us to shrink.
Lover of dogs, cold water, and long walks where I solve the world’s problems in my head.
I’m obsessed with making fitness a space where women, theys and gays can get strong without being sold shame. You won’t find weigh-ins, meal plans, or transformation photos here - just real training, real bodies, and real strength.
I believe in rest days, resistance training, and raising feminist sons. I believe movement can be joyful, healing, and angry all at once. I believe you don’t have to look a certain way to lift heavy and take up space.
If you’re done with perfection, ready to push back, and want to feel like your strongest, weirdest self - you’re in the right place.
Let’s fucking go.

why I started strong like a mutha
Because nothing like this existed - so I built it.
I was sick of walking into spaces that didn’t see me. Spaces that treated pregnancy like fragility, strength like vanity, and women like they should always be smaller, quieter, less.
Fitness felt like a punishment. Strength training was gatekept. And the industry was full of toxic bullshit I had no time for.
So I made something different.
Strong Like a Mutha started as a way to help women and gender-expansive people take their power back - through lifting, through movement, through saying no to everything that told us we had to be perfect to be worthy.
It’s grown, shifted, and changed - just like I have. But at its core, it’s always been about this:
Building strength on our terms. Reclaiming autonomy. And helping people feel at home in their bodies, no matter what stage of life they’re in.
This isn’t just fitness. It’s resistance. It’s rebellion. It’s community.
And it’s yours, if you want it.
