The Storm is progressive strength and conditioning for women who want more from training than simply burning calories.

Life asks a lot of you. Your training should prepare you for it. Build muscle, move with confidence and develop strength that carries into everything you do.

Your membership includes:

1 Foundation Lower-Body Strength Session Every Week: Build strong legs, powerful hips and useful strength that carries into everyday life.

1 Optional Aerobic Conditioning Session Every Week: Improve your fitness and recovery without sacrificing the strength you’re working to build.

1 Optional Mobility + Core Session Every Week: Develop balance, mobility and trunk strength while supporting recovery between heavier sessions.

1 Foundation Upper-Body Strength Session Every Week: Build pressing power, pulling strength and the confidence to handle heavier weight.

1 Optional Additional Strength Session Every Week: Add more strength work when your schedule, goals and recovery allow.

Built-In Scaling and Beginner Guidance: Use Kate’s coaching notes and movement modifications to train at your current ability and progress within the same system.

Complete the two foundation sessions first, then add the optional work when your schedule and recovery allow. Whether you train twice or complete all five sessions, every day has a purpose.

FAQs
Is The Storm right for me?
The Storm is for women who want to build strength, lean muscle and conditioning while moving well for years to come. It’s best suited to those with some training experience, but newer athletes can follow Kate’s coaching notes and movement modifications.
How do i begin? IS there a "Day 1"?
The Storm is an evolving team program, so you can join at any time. Start with the two foundation strength sessions, using Kate’s coaching notes and modifications to suit your ability. There’s no need to catch up or wait for a new cycle. Start where the team is and build from there.
How many days a week do i need to train?
The Storm provides five days of programming, but only two are essential. These foundation sessions build upper- and lower-body strength. The other three add conditioning, mobility, core work and extra strength. Allow 60 minutes per session, prioritizing the foundation days when life gets busy.
The Proof

The Storm Athlete

Verified Athlete

"Training twice a week, my bone density increased by 4.25%, my body fat dropped by 5.2% and I gained three pounds of lean muscle in one year. Proof is in the numbers."

verified-athlete-avatar Sandra Hernandez

The Storm Athlete

Verified Athlete

"My back squat went from 35 lb to 175 lb in just over six months. The physical progress is obvious, but just as important is the confidence I’ve built along the way."
