Your Not-So-Serious Strength Coach

Hey! I'm Lesley. Cat lady, twin mama, and k-drama fanatic. My hobbies include organizing my refrigerator and pantry like a mad woman, laughing (okay, screaming) on rollercoasters 'til I cry, rebelling against social media, and falling asleep anywhere/anytime because my dreams are like movies.

I'm also a StrongFirst Certified Kettlebell and Barbell Instructor based in Monterey County, and I served in the United States Air Force for 24 years as a Korean Cryptologic Language Analyst.

Over the past 20+ years, I've experimented with a variety of exercise modalities just for fun (ultra marathoning, powerlifting, jiu-jitsu, hot yoga, kettlebells, bodyweight training, etc) and I truly believe that fitness should be an adventure, an exploration of movement!

If you're eager to move your body in a fun and playful way, while learning proper technique and getting strong AF, I'm your gal!
