Thea Hughes is a Brooklyn-based strength trainer whose method (Max Effort Training) is rooted in making women feel as confident in their bodies as they do in their ideas and to be able to thrive at the gym without her.


In this episode, we get into Thea's journey in the marketing and advertising world and her leap of faith into the wellness/fitness industry. We get into all things strength training, misconceptions, what to know/understand and how it differentiates from other forms of movement.


Some Questions I Ask:

  • Was fitness always something that was a massive part of your identity or just something that you were really passionate about? (7:04)
  • You're a trained dancer. What was it about that calling? And then what got you to dedicate yourself full time to becoming a wellness coach? (19:18)
  • What exactly is strength training? Why is it important for women? Why is it essential for our muscles and our bones as we age? (24:22)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • About what was little Thea like as a kid (7:13)
  • The biggest thing you should pay attention to if you are looking to find a community (14:31)
  • What's the right way to show up for your community (22:25)
  • What does a strength training session look like (26:33)
  • Simple yet effective tips to start taking control over your body (37:13)
  • Thea shares advice for those who feel that they fell off the wagon in their fitness journey (40:42)
