Learn to Lift Program
1:1 Online Strength Coaching for Women who want to start AND stick with lifting.
Once upon a time, you could just do things without worrying about your back or energy. Now, mental calculus needs to be done to determine if an activity is worth the consequences of pain and being wiped out.
Learn to Lift is a personalized 1:1 remote strength coaching program. Building strength doesn’t just make you physically stronger; it rewires how you view yourself and your capability. As your confidence increases, you start wondering what else I can do.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You wake up with a crick in your neck after a fun day and internally think “Is this what I can expect as I’m getting older?”
You know exercise is good for you, but this isn’t your first rodeo. You’ve joined a gym but each time, you DIY your workouts and something happens to throw your plan out the window.
You’ve joined a group class thinking it will help you follow through. Instead, the hard-core style workouts leave you feeling drained and sore all the time. The group setting didn’t account for your personal starting point or movements that cause you pain.
You’ve even hired a personal trainer. You make progress, but once the package is over, working out slowly stops happening.
Most exercise programs and classes simply focus on what exercises to do, not how to support the person to actually complete working out.
Consistency isn’t something you are born with, it’s a set of skills that can be learned and developed.
01
Identifying if there is a mismatch of your workout expectations and the realities of your life.
02
Learning how to adapt in the moment when things go differently than expected.
03
Being fine with the discomfort of imperfect action.
04
Investigating your resistance and deciding to work out despite how you feel.
But consistency skills are only part of the equation. Your workouts also need to account for your actual starting point, current capacity, and life responsibilities.
Learn to Lift is my 1:1 remote strength training coaching program specifically for women who want to get strong but for one reason or another, strength training has never really stuck. I combine behavior science with strength and conditioning principles so you can actually start and stick with lifting, which will allow you do the activities you love without worrying about if your body can keep up.

Adjust & Problem Solve
WHAT’S DIFFERENT
More Than Just Workouts
Consistency isn’t about never missing a workout. It’s about the ability to go back to working out without the mental drama of labeling yourself as a failure. It’s the ability to pause and reflect in a non-judgmental way to get curious about why your workouts didn’t happen. It’s the ability to develop solutions to use the next time the same issues arise. Instead of a missed week turning into a missed month, you learn how to pivot and get your butt back in the gym drama- free.
Getting strong is more than just lifting more weight. Getting strong means things in everyday life like stairs, yardwork, picking up heavy objects become easier.
While in the gym progress is shown when you can lift 10 reps instead of 8. Every day those small moments become micro pieces of evidence of your capability. As you start to see and believe your capability increase, you start to challenge the belief of what you thought was possible for yourself.
Strength training is the vehicle to help you discover your current beliefs you’ve had about your capability are worth questioning. Each micro-win in the gym shows you what is possible. Activities like your first 5K, a challenging hike, your first pull-up, or signing up for your first competition seem like something worth pursuing. Working out starts to become about seeing just how much your body can do. You start chasing that deeply satisfying feeling of succeeding at something you didn’t think was possible for you.
Real Women. Real Strength. Real Life
CURRENT CLIENT
From building strength to moving, lifting, and cycling 300 miles.
She originally came to move wanting to increase her strength without aggravating her hip.
When a home move happened, she found out she could pack and stack boxes with ease without hurting her back.
Later, she set a goal of cycling 300 miles during the month of october and achieved her goal!
ANN
Former in-person client
A stronger, more resilient foundation for a busy life.
Works full-time as Registered Nurse and Nurse Clinic Manager. While we were working together she was getting her Master’s In Nursing and supporting a spouse with medical needs.Ann wasn't a gym newbie.
Previously, going to the gym with her workout buddies meant “no pain, no gain” mentality. Workouts meant pushing exercises to the max and leaving her completely exhausted. She even worried that working with coach would mean more of the same.
“Dr. Qasmi met me at my beginning level and started with easy, realistic goals from there. I learned how to utilize the gym and my body gradually over several weeks. She was very encouraging and I looked forward to our sessions, even after a crazy day at work (I am a nurse). ”
“ I learned that any workout is an achievement and that you can do the gym in easily digestible doses. I actually feel really good after I complete a workout!”
“I feel a lot stronger and gained a lot more stability! I found my ankles and feet need some special attention. I was suffering from Achilles tendinitis and focused exercises greatly reduced my pain! I usually forget about my feet problems now. If I have a flare up, I do some focused exercises and it pretty much resolves it. I thought the condition would prevent me from getting healthier since I was avoiding extra walking for exercise due to pain. But, Dr. Qasmi taught me how to address the roots. Previously I went to the podiatrist and they just suggested some stretches and crazy expensive insoles. So, I am happy I have real solutions now.”

MY WHY
Why I created Learn to Lift
Being a PT taught me that even when someone has pain or a diagnosis, their body is still capable of building strength and resilience. By working in the clinic, I helped hundreds of clients get strong and improve their confidence in their body’s ability despite their pain and diagnosis.
Many of my patients saw the benefits of exercise and wanted to continue after discharge but struggled with fitting it in their busy lives.
Traditional PT showed me that there was a gap between helping women get stronger and helping women become lifelong movers. That’s why I created Learn to Lift to bridge that gap. The goal isn’t just to get by but to become and stay agile, strong, and powerful to fully embrace and participate in life.
