you're on 

I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.

Hey you,

The name's Annie & you're reading my thoughts. Let's get acquainted.

Sharing the last decade (plus) of my movement journey. Let’s begin: It’s 2010. I’m 11% body fat and grippin’ n’ rippin’ weights. Focused only on breaking college weight room records, with no sense of what the shit I’m doing. It’s 2012 and I *think* I’m the fittest I’ve ever been. I undergo meniscus surgery from […]

How Instagram Reels Broke my Growth PlateauGrowth CAN be more difficult with the present day algorithm. Growth depends on EXPOSURE. “Viral” content leads to greater exposure (getting in front of new eyeballs + a larger percentage of your following). Instagram Reels can be (and have been) a fantastic way to do drive EXPOSURE (this is […]

Let’s discuss what DOESN’T make you a great coach. It’S nUaNcEd. But truthfully it is. Hear me out. It’s a shame that potentially great coaches are held back because they have clients who can squat more than them. That potentially great coaches feel like they need a different body in order to provide value. It’s […]

what does not dictate your ability as a strength coach with Annie Miller

While I am not a full blown “influencer,” I do have some low level experience with affiliate marketing. And it’s something I think a lot of health and fitness professionals want to be a part of. Get some free protein here and there, give your audience a code, make a bit of extra cash. That’s […]

Who doesn’t love a sculpted back? And a functional one at that. Here’s the deal. A strong back will benefit most of your big lifts and accessory work. Build strength and skills, catch your back in the mirror like, “oh hello gains, I see you.” Let’s get this straight – “best back exercises for women” […]

Sharing two simple business truths you didn’t know you needed. If you want to feel like an overwhelmed fraud who doesn’t know what they’re doing…start a business. Am I right? In the online space especially, it can feel like we need to be on IG, Clubhouse, Twitter, LinkedIn, TiktTok, Pinterest, Facebook, Snapchat. Well I’ve got […]

two simple business truths you didn't know you needed

Let us lunge. I’ve seen these movements called different things throughout my years of training. Call them what you may, they’re all different versions of the same mother pattern: the reverse lunge. This post is your prime time example of simple > fancy. Want to progress a movement? Give your body a little shock? A […]

10 days of posting on Instagram 2 times per day. I read that posting multiple times per day might be making it’s way back around for a way to grow your audience and gain exposure on IG. This used to be the case when IG posts were chronological. The more often you posted, the more […]

If you’re running a business, you need to make sales, yes? It will behoove you to look for gaps in why you aren’t closing more sales. Today’s topic…confidence. Before you write that off, thinking I am just going to say “be more confident,” give me a chance. Ask the simple question: How can you expect […]

confidence needed to make sales with Annie Miller

I used to think core work was an extra. That core work was not necessary in addition to heavy squats, and deads, and other axial loaded or compound movements. I no longer think that. So, YES, core specific work is (depending on your training style and goals), necessary in my opinion. ESPECIALLY if you are […]
