Common Questions
Is beSTRONG only for women?
No. While all of our beSTRONG Coaches identify as women and we specialize in women’s health by working with clients through transitional periods like pregnancy and postpartum, our main goal is to create an inclusive space for anyone to come and feel confident in the gym. Yes. beSTRONG Training is a women's personal training studio. Our gym, programming, and coaching are designed specifically with women's bodies, health goals, and experiences in mind. Many clients tell us the environment is exactly what they were looking for: a professional, supportive space where they can focus on their wellness and feel amazing doing it.
Do I need experience to start personal training in Squamish?
Not at all. Many of our Squamish clients come to us having never lifted a weight before. Your personal trainer will assess your specific needs, listen to your goals, and build a program that meets you where you are. Then you progress from that point, week by week, at your own pace.

Can I train with beSTRONG if I am pregnant or postpartum?
Our Squamish team has expertise in pre and postpartum coaching. We will work within your healthcare provider's guidance to keep you moving safely through pregnancy and support your recovery and return to strength after birth.
