Every time I attend a Ladies who Lift training session I learn something new -- sometimes it's a new workout move, sometimes it's a new realization that I am stronger than I thought I was -- either way I leave empowered and excited. The format of the training is honestly one of the best formats in the city of Chicago

Ladies Who Lift Studios Coaching Staff

  • Rae Reichlin created Ladies who Lift after watching many of her female clients have the physical and mental breakthroughs they never thought possible through learning to lift properly and with confidence.

    Having experienced it herself, Rae understands the fear, apprehension, and misinformation, that can sometimes come along with lifting and getting stronger, and wanted to create a space and environment where women felt comfortable to come together to learn and perfect this method of training.

  • Ladies Who Lift Studios is an inclusive women’s space meant to serve and support those who are female-identifying and non-binary.

  • Yes. We are trained and experienced in working with people who are brand new to strength training, advanced lifters, and anything in between.

  • If you’re a true beginner to strength training, we recommend starting with some 1:1 personal training sessions with an LWL coach. This will allow you to move at your own pace and have your coach’s undivided attention so you can learn the movements, nail your technique, and get more comfortable with lifting.

  • Even if you do your actual workouts on your own time, we strongly encourage you to at least be working online with a coach and following a structured strength training program.

    LWL Studios makes it easy to get hands-on coaching through either 1:1 personal training or small group training — ensuring you’re using proper and safe technique, understanding the movements, and progressing over time.

  • Yup. We welcome people from all fitness levels, as well as all body types, shapes, and sizes.

  • We do not. We give diet culture a big middle finger, actually. We’re here to support you in getting strong as hell, pushing your physical and mental limits, and becoming as empowered and confident as possible. Also, your goals with your body are 100% your own. We’ll offer the support you need, based on what you want to achieve.

  • We have specialized training and are certified in prenatal personal training. The benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle, including modified strength training, during pregnancy are well documented. If you’re pregnant, we highly recommend working with one of our coaches one on one.

    Note: we are not medical professionals, physical therapists, or pelvic floor specialists. Please check with your healthcare provider for guidance in these matters.

  • We are located at 4747 N Ashland Ave. in Chicago. There is street parking available on both Ashland and Lawrence. These are both busy streets, so we recommend giving yourself a few extra minutes.

  • All small group classes and personal training sessions have a 24 hour cancellation notice or else you will be charged for the appointment booked. To cancel or rebook your appointment you can login to your account using this link (top right corner).
