We're back with another episode of Gym Girl Chats! This week, we're thrilled to have Coach Mia joining us for a fun conversation that covers everything from gym playlists and favorite meals to carb combinations that actually work. We dive into her current routines, our plan to become BookTok influencers, and get real about what it means to be a gym girl in today's world.
We're going full send with our biggest gym "icks" and sharing hot girl gym hacks that actually make a difference. Coach Mia gets real about mindset shifts that have transformed her fitness approach, how lifting supports every aspect of her life, and why calling herself a gym girl fills her with pride.
Whether you're looking for workout motivation, book recommendations, or just want to feel like you’re sitting down with your besties—this conversation delivers.
