About Women's Strength & Conditioning
Why I Train (And Why You Might Want To)
My days are split between chasing my daughter, wrangling my dog, and making sure I don’t drop a loaded barbell on my foot. If you’re a mom, you know the chaos. The gym isn’t about looking cute for me - it’s the only time my brain shuts up and I feel like myself.
My Approach: Strong Over Small
Forget shrinking down. I want women building their ‘strong old lady body’ for the long haul. Lifting weights isn’t just about muscle - it’s about keeping your bones solid, your back happy, and your brain tough.
- No ‘bounce back’ nonsense
- Strength training for moms, especially through perimenopause
- Focus on mental grit and physical progress, not just looks
What We Actually Do
- Learn to lift properly: squats, deadlifts, presses - the stuff that matters
- Functional fitness & CrossFit-style WODs for that real-life engine
- Home workouts for busy mothers using bands, dumbbells, or whatever you have
- Skill building: want your first push-up or pull-up? We break it down
Who Usually Shows Up Here
- Women on their postpartum fitness journey
- Moms navigating perimenopause
- Anyone fed up with the usual fitness noise and ready to just get strong
The Vibe
We’re a scrappy crew of misfit women, online and in Bangalore, who cheer each other on, laugh at our fails, and show up even when we’d rather nap. Sometimes I’m running on zero sleep, but I always bring my real self. Plis excuse if I sound a little frazzled - that’s just life, ya.

My Story
Hey, I’m Mrinalini. Fitness for me isn’t about shrinking, it’s about getting strong and feeling good. When I was pregnant, I saw how much fear there is around women lifting weights. So I got certified, learned everything I could, and now I help moms train safely through pregnancy and after. Trust me, I’ve juggled motherhood, cake at birthdays, and workouts squeezed in between naps. If I can do it, you can too. No drama, just real life.
