Inside your sessions.
- Movement technique coaching, so you lift with confidence.
- Progressive resistance training with machines, free weights and other equipment selected for you.
- Gradual training volume, built up as your technique and recovery allow.
- Plan adjustments using your technique, recovery and feedback.
Strength that grows with you.
Every program starts with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call, then a 30-minute in-person assessment paid through Retro Fitness. Then you’ll learn the movements step by step, with Coach Ali coaching your technique in person.
Progress is recorded in a practical way, such as the weights you lift, your technique and how confident you feel. Muscle development takes consistent practice, food and recovery, so no specific timeline is promised.
If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or managing an injury or health condition, check with your healthcare provider before starting a new exercise program, and let Coach Ali know so your plan can respect it.
In person in Cedar City, Utah.
Build Lean Muscle is in-person training at Retro Fitness in Cedar City, Utah, with Coach Ali, a personal trainer for women in Cedar City. She trains clients at the gym only, so you’ll need your own Retro Fitness membership, a monthly cost you pay directly to the gym. Personal training is a separate cost on top of that, also paid to Retro Fitness.
Women from nearby towns are welcome to come train in Cedar City too. See training from Enoch or training from Parowan.
