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.
Programming is a SKILL Let’s make clear that you don’t learn programming from one freaking podcast episode, book, or blog post. It takes practice, trial and error and experience to become a proficient and confident programmer. For those that are confused, I am talking about writing strength and conditioning or fitness training programs for a […]
I discussed the topic of post-rona fitness as a guest on Daniel Hong’s podcast. So, I thought I’d echo that here, on my own show. Because I think there are great takeaways for you, my audience. While fitness definitely changed for my clients and myself during different stages of quarantine due to the pandemic, it […]
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 […]
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 […]

I asked the gram fam what kind of content they wanted from me in this season. How to transition back into the gym was a very popular answer, so I thought I’d make a more in-depth episode for you. There are MANY things to consider when entering the gym after a long break. These are […]
THE INS AND OUTS OF EXERCISE AND TRAVEL. I wanted to talk about this topic because it’s been a huge portion of the last two years of my life. And that is working out while traveling. Like, what does that reality look like. What I’ve experienced and some of the ways I go about moving […]
PIVOTING IS INEVITABLE. You’re not on a one way road for eternity with no turns, road blocks, or change of direction. You will at some point, in business, in life or in training, need to pivot. And while pivoting on a soccer pitch or basketball court is a quick and often explosive event, it doesn’t […]
CARDIO IS NEEDED. PERIOD. It’s no secret that I like lifting weights more than doing cardio. That includes any form of cardio – lifting weights faster, running, rowing, biking, stairs, hiking, all of it. BUT – we need cardio and being conditioned has awesome carry over into lifting more weights. So here we are, talking […]
