This Winter Arc is personal — not just physical. ❄️ For Callie, it’s about embracing strength in a new season of life — growing a baby and keeping her competitive fire alive with eyes set on the 2026 stage. For Ashley, it’s a powerful farewell to her FUPA and a fresh start after major surgery, rebuilding confidence and chasing that same competition goal. Two different journeys. One shared mindset: no matter what this winter looks like, we’re showing up, evolving, and redefining what it means to be strong women in our Winter Arcs. 💪✨

Ashley Michelle and Callie Vega are your gym BFF's talking muscle, mindset & nutrition. 💪✨ In today’s episode we're calling BS on the biggest fitness propaganda that keeps women stuck, confused, and constantly chasing quick fixes. From fear-mongering around lifting heavy to the obsession with endless cardio, the industry has fed us half-truths disguised as “expert advice” for way too long. We’re not falling for the flat-tummy tea lies, the toning myths, or the idea that you need to shrink to be worthy. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone ready to ditch the noise, question the norms, and actually build a body they’re proud of — without the BS.
