You don't need another generic program.
You need coaching built for you.
Anne works with women at every stage of life who are ready to do something that actually works for their body, their goals, and the life they're living right now.
Women ready to build strength
You want to feel strong and capable in your body. Not just lighter, actually stronger. Strength that helps you move better, feel better, and trust your body again.
Postpartum women
Your body did something extraordinary. Now you want to rebuild, safely, at your own pace, on your own terms. Not to get back to some old version of yourself. Just to feel strong and capable in the body you have now.
Women in perimenopause or menopause
Hormonal shifts are real. So is the confusion around them. You deserve a coach who actually understands what's happening in your body and how to train and eat for it.
Women tired of generic advice
You've tried the programs. They weren't built for you. You want coaching that fits your life, your body, and where you actually are right now. Not where someone thinks you should be.
Women who want a smarter approach
Evidence-based, practical, and sustainable. No fads, no shame, no one-size-fits-all plans. Just a clear path forward that you can actually stick to.
Women navigating life transitions
Career changes, motherhood, aging, recovery. Life doesn't pause for fitness. Your coaching shouldn't either.
What makes Anne different
She actually knows what she's talking about
NSCA-certified personal trainer. USA Weightlifting Level 1 coach. CrossFit Level 1 trainer. 1st Degree Black Belt. Before coaching, Anne spent years as a licensed speech-language pathologist, which means she was trained to listen, communicate, and meet people where they are. She brings the same approach to coaching: understand the science, then explain it in a way that actually helps.
Women-first, always
Not a generic program with a women's version bolted on. Anne's entire coaching practice is built around how women's bodies actually work, through hormonal shifts, postpartum recovery, aging, and everything in between.
Strength and nutrition together
Most coaches do one or the other. Anne coaches the whole picture. How you train, how you eat, how you recover, and how it all fits into the life you're actually living right now.
Built on evidence, experience, and respect
Anne's coaching is grounded in what we actually know about women's bodies, not trends, not fads, not fear. She programs based on evidence, coaches based on experience, and treats every woman she works with as a capable adult who deserves real information.
Your body is not the problem.
The information you've been given is.
Anne's coaching is built on a few core beliefs. They shape everything, from how she programs training to how she talks about food.
Strong is better than small.
The goal isn't to shrink. It's to build something. Strength changes how you move, how you feel, and how you show up in every part of your life.
Nutrition should support your life, not control it.
Food is not the enemy. Confusion is. Anne cuts through the noise and helps you eat in a way that actually works for your body, your schedule, and your sanity.
Women deserve better information.
Most fitness research was done on men. Most programs were built for men. Anne's coaching is grounded in what we actually know about women's physiology, hormones, and health.
Coaching should fit the woman.
Not the other way around. There's no one-size-fits-all plan here. Your body, your history, your life. That's where the plan starts.
Real life matters.
Stress, sleep, work, kids, hormones. It all affects your training and your results. Anne coaches the whole picture, not just the hour you're in the gym.
"Wherever you're starting from, that's a fine place to start. The plan just has to be built for you."

Coach. Gym owner. Mom of three.
Lifelong student of strength.
Anne Kiernan is a coach, gym owner, mom of three, and a lifelong student of strength. She's been in the fitness world long enough to know what works and what's just noise.
Before she was a coach, Anne spent years as a licensed speech-language pathologist. She knows how to listen, how to communicate, and how to meet people where they are. That doesn't go away when you walk into a gym.
She owns The Forge gym, holds a 1st Degree Black Belt in Isshinryu Karate, and is currently pursuing advanced certifications in nutrition counseling and women-specific coaching. She's not done learning. She doesn't expect you to be either.
She coaches women who want to get stronger, eat smarter, and stop second-guessing every decision about their body. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
Credentials & Background
Real women. Real results.
Coaching that actually fits your life.
I've worked with a lot of coaches. Anne is the first one who actually understood what was happening with my body during perimenopause and built a program around it instead of ignoring it.
