Who Athena works with
Athena works with two types of women over 35. The first group trains and eats well, but results have stalled. The second group was fit and confident before life got in the way. Demanding jobs, having babies, caring for kids or aging parents, or health challenges threw them off track.
How Athena works
Athena builds coaching around efficient lifts that fit into a busy schedule, so clients build muscle and boost metabolism without long workouts. Her eating method is balanced and needs only a few tweaks, with no restrictive rules. She does not require perfect plans or full adherence. Clients also join coaching calls where progress is reviewed and the plan is adjusted as life changes.
