Before working with Cassi, I was aimless at the gym, depending on the simplicity of cardio and too intimidated to ever touch a barbell. Learning how to lift weights under Cassi’s coaching profoundly transformed my relationship with the gym, with fitness, and with my own body. Cassi’s approach to coaching is the perfect balance of pushing one’s limits while providing ample support and encouragement. Working with Cassi not only helped me achieve my goals of being physically stronger, but she fostered an environment that allowed me to be mentally and emotionally stronger as well in my fitness journey.

I reached out to Cassi several years ago about form checks and possible programming. After one session, I knew she was the right person to coach and program my lifting. Her constant support, and ability to tailor the programming to your needs is fantastic. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to get stronger, regardless of your current situation, or goals. She’s the best.

I trained with Cassi for over 2 years, her guidance and encouragement made lifting super approachable and something that I feel like I’ve walked away being able to do on my own. The groups she lead where her personality and professionalism made it so much fun to be able to be social, accountable and always supported. I can’t say good enough things about her as a coach and just all around human, 10/10 would recommend.

Cassi has always been incredibly welcoming and inclusive, she’s always supportive and invites feedback so she can help you how you want to be helped. Her goal is always to set you up to be self sufficient and successful well beyond your time with her as your coach. I have been extremely thankful to have found her and have enjoyed working with her. I know I’ve gotten stronger and I’m excited about the future!

I started working with Cassi in July of 2019 and worked with her for about 8 months in the gym before transitioning to working out at home during COVID-19. I think it speaks volume to Cassi’s attitude and abilities as a coach that I have never considering pausing coaching even though I’m not able to see her face to face. In the gym, Cassi is extremely attentive and friendly — with her eyes on my form, I was able to see progress in my lifting that I had never previously experienced. Communicating virtually, Cassi is excellent at making her athletes feel that their overall well-being is the most important thing and that lifting is only one part of being healthy. At the same time, she provides great feedback on videos, useful resources on movements, and asks insightful questions to check in on athlete’s progress. I am the most consistent with my workouts and feeling overall the fittest I have to date, largely because of Cassi’s influence. I can’t recommend her enough!

I had never lifted weights before and needed a coach to guide me. I started working with Cassi in September 2017 and her coaching has been one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. She’s always positive, supportive and encouraging, as well as thoroughly knowledgeable and professional. During the time she’s coached me, I’ve had two surgeries that required me to stop weightlifting for several weeks at a time. The increased strength I’ve developed by working with Cassi helped me to better get through and recover from the surgeries. I’m extremely grateful to have found her and look forward to getting stronger in the future. She’s great!

Cassi is wonderful! She helped me to feel strong again after my ACL surgery and even I know that the training I did with Cassi both before and after surgery helped me to have a smooth and quick recovery! She not only got me strong again, but she’s such a joy to work with! She’s encouraging and passionate and inclusive and warm and it’s contagious!

“Former CrossFit addict, I fell in love with the strength training part but didn’t want to abandon the cardio. It didn’t take too long before I was injured from self programing, so I looked for an online coach who did both rowing & strength training. Cassi has been a fantastic coach. Cassi was able to view portions of every workout and provide feedback while I was able to have the flexibility to workout whenever I wanted. Cassi has been responsive, in-tune to my needs, and at the end of the day the proof is in the numbers. All my 1 RM numbers went up in the squat, DL and Press. This is not just beginner increases, I had been doing CF for over 6 years with a serious strength component program. Not only did I get stronger, I also set PR’s on the rower. I highly recommend Cassi as a strength and or rowing coach, definitely recommend doing both!

Cassi is exactly the person you want in your corner when it comes to training. I’ve never considered myself athletic, and certainly didn’t think of myself as a weightlifter. I was a single mom! In college in my thirties! But Cassi worked her magic, taking the 2-3 hours a week I could spend “working out” and created an incredible program that met me exactly where I was. She was friendly and accessible but also pushed my expectations of myself. I feel comfortable on my own in absolutely any gym with a barbell now, and I wouldn’t have ever made it there without Cassi.

I’ve been working with Cassi for just over 3 years now and it has truly been a life changing experience. What started out as a basic interest in getting stronger has turned into one of the most important parts of my life thanks to Cassi’s involvement and training. I’ve found so many more benefits to strength building beyond just getting stronger. It’s helped me cope with challenging times and given me a level of health and self confidence that I thought would elude me in my late 30’s. Cassi is extremely knowledgeable and always available to help with both the building blocks of lifting for newbies and refinement of form for the veterans. I’m very grateful for the time I’ve spent working with Cassi and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to better themselves.

I’ve known Cassi for years, but reached out for online coaching when I was preparing my body for some big life changes. I had always had a fear of that part of the gym, and didn’t think I’d ever be able to “lift heavy”. Cassi not only made the process easy and comfortable, but enjoyable. The tips and cues Cassi gave made it feel like she was there in person and I excitedly watch for feedback emails to come through to see what was next. The feedback and time she spends with me as a client always make me feel like I’m a priority, which is great because I’m needy. I’ve lifted with Cassi since June of 2018 and through several surgeries where Cassi made it a point to understand what my body could and couldn’t do. I know for certain I wouldn’t have bounced back as quickly as I did without her coaching. Cassi’s style of coaching made me feel valued, championed, and strong. I can’t wait to see how much further I can go.

I was encouraged by my daughter and son-in-law to start barbell training to help strengthen my bones to ward off osteoporosis. When my daughter told me she was going to start training with Cassi I jumped at the opportunity. Cassi was so understanding and straight forward. She answered all my questions. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive, but after meeting her, it was clear she was very knowledgeable and passionate about empowering me to feel strong. I thoroughly enjoyed training with her and I began feeling stronger from day one and continued to build from there. I highly recommend Cassi.

Training with Cassi these past 12 months had such a positive impact on my life. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been mentally and physically. Paying for a program with her was worth every penny. Cassi helped me improve my form and my relationship with training. I used to shy away from training on days I knew my numbers wouldn’t improve. During the last 12 months, I fell more in love with training for the sake of training. The weekly write-ups forced me to reflect on my week, how I felt, and the mini goals I wanted to set for the upcoming week. Thank you, Cassi, for always being in my corner and cheering for me!
