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.
I am a student of the gram. And I encourage all those who take my Instagram 101 course to also embrace the status of “student of the gram.” If you want to use any social media platform to grow and solidify your business or brand, it will behoove you to learn about it – to […]
You’ve likely seen or heard of the hierarchy of needs within fitness in some capacity. In my Built by Annie program my clients get access to something called Annie’s Secret Laboratory of Brain Gains. And in that lab, I have a video training on the two hierarchy of needs that I see and use in […]
I straight up felt the need to create this episode based on some of the content I’ve seen on the gram in the past few months. Some of it is spot on and absolutely amazing. Some of it is, well, not – which leads to today’s post of 3 ways to improve your content. Not […]
Get ready for a fitness question/myth busting mash up. This episode is a compilation of fitness related questions I have received over the years or as of lately. While each of these could nearly be individual episodes, I kind of dig the mash up vibe. Like rapid fire fitness Q&A or debunking session. Before we […]
If there’s one thing that I have become known for in the online health and fitness space (from a business standpoint), it’s the fact that I don’t use and have never used sales calls to generate revenue.

The honorable mention will cover conditioning if that is a part of your program, but this assumes that you have an aerobic base to work with when it comes to your strength training. If you lack an aerobic base, that would need to […]
Today’s episode is one that you need to take with a grain of salt. These lessons are very personal to me, but may apply to you, so don’t think that just because I found one of these distracting and un-useful, that it must be distracting and un-useful for you. Always stay true to you, your […]
Today we get to bro out a bit. To talk shop in the gym. Covering the mistakes people could be making. I often find that people could get way more from their training than they do with a few simple changes to their time in the gym. That is literally why I created fitdesignbyannie years […]
The relationship I want to discuss today is one that I have lived. I have been aware of this but didn’t put an actual name to it until Dr. Sean Pastuch brought it to my attention during my appearance on the Active Life Podcast. And he said it came from Adee Cazayoux. I am not […]
If you don’t know, I am a big fan and supporter of using quarterly planning in life and business. Really it’s like creating a macro phase of strength training. Same concept. You define a large goal or two and then plan out months and weeks and the process by which you plan to reach those […]
