By her 30s, she learned to listen to and trust her own body. She discovered ways to strengthen her arm and fell in love with bodyweight training & movement all over again. That’s the origin of story of this Garage Gym Girl.

Transitioning to coaching after her injury, Kirsty realized how drawn she was to teaching someone new skills – skills they don’t think are possible. Whether it’s virtually or in her gym near Toronto, she gives women the confidence to build both confidence and strength in their bodies. (Note: Handstands are a common side effect.) These same coaching skills are an asset in her other career as a programmer. In that role, she’s forced to break down business problems within a technical team environment.

Yes, we geek out a little about bodyweight training, but this show is also for women who are struggling with how to:

• Pick themselves up after getting hit with one of life’s curveballs
• Juggle 2 careers without burning out
• Slow down to make more sustained progress
• Get regular workouts done, especially if you’re not into traditional fitness options
