LiftLab Wellness Studio

Most women will spend on everything else before they spend on themselves. Groceries, kids’ activities, a partner’s needs, the house. Training gets filed under “nice to have,” something to pick back up once everything else is handled. It rarely is…

Here’s the reframe worth sitting with: strength training, recovery, and good nutrition aren’t indulgences. They’re maintenance, the same way you wouldn’t skip the upkeep on anything else you plan to rely on for the next 30 years. Skipping it doesn’t save you money. It just moves the cost down the road, usually in the form of lost strength, lost mobility, or a harder recovery from something that should’ve been preventable.

That’s the thinking behind every program at Lift Lab. Not a membership you hope works out, but wellness coaching built around your body, your stage of life, and what you actually need to stay strong as you age.

An assessment, a plan, and your coaches checking in along the way.

If you’ve been waiting for permission to prioritize this, consider it given.

Strength training for women over 35 changes your body in a way cardio alone can’t 👇

If you’re doing spin classes, long runs and 10,000 steps and still not seeing a change, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing a plan built to burn calories, not to build muscle.

Cardio is great for your heart, your mood and your stress. But for fat loss and body shape after 35, muscle is what moves the needle. It’s what keeps your metabolism up, your bones strong and your clothes fitting differently.

The sweet spot for most women: 2–3 strength sessions a week, plenty of walking, solid sleep, and enough protein. Not more cardio.

That’s exactly how we build every program at Lift Lab, our women’s wellness studio in Clayton Park, Halifax.

💾 Save this for your next “should I just do more cardio?” moment.

The people behind the plan matter just as much as the plan itself…

Behind every Lift Lab member is a team of coaches who are constantly communicating, learning, planning and making sure the women we work with are getting the support they need.

Because your wellness journey isn’t happening in isolation… and neither is our coaching.

We work together so that your training, nutrition, recovery, accountability and goals all make sense together, and continue to evolve as you do.

A team invested in you. A plan built around you. A community beside you.

Hi, I’m Hailley! I’m a Personal Trainer and Registered Nurse with a passion for helping women feel stronger, more confident, and empowered in their health and fitness journey.

I completed my personal training certification through the International Sports Sciences Association. Having played sports growing up, the gym naturally became an extension of that passion. But I also remember what it felt like to walk into a gym and have absolutely no idea what I was doing. I wished I had someone there to guide me, so I decided to become that person for other women looking for guidance, support, and a little extra confidence along the way.

With me, it’s not about a quick fix or chasing perfection. It’s about creating lifelong habits, shifting your mindset, building confidence, and learning to trust yourself and what your body is capable of. You’ll catch me at Lift Lab, motivating you, pushing you a little harder, and reminding you that yes, you can absolutely do one more rep.

When I’m not at the gym, I’m probably trying a new hobby (because apparently I need approximately 47 of them), planning my next trip, or curled up with a good book. I’m also a proud dog mom to Ellie, my rescue from Eleuthera, Bahamas, and a cat mom to Bella, my orange senior tabby.

At the end of the day, I love helping people realize they’re capable of more than they give themselves credit for. The stronger lifts, the little wins, and the “wait… I actually did that” moments are exactly why I love what I do.

Starting something new usually comes with a lot of questions.

What will my first visit look like?

Do I need to be “fit” before I start?

How do I know which coaching option is right for me?

What if I haven’t worked out in years?

We get it… and we want you to feel confident walking through our doors before you ever step inside.

That’s why we’re answering the questions we hear most from women considering Lift Lab, from how our coaching works to what you can expect when you get started.

Because you don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin. That’s what your coaches are here for.

Have a question we haven’t answered? Drop it below or send us a DM.

Imagine actually looking forward to going to the gym.

No wandering around wondering what to do. No fighting for equipment. No trying to build your own workout from whatever happens to be available that day.

You show up, there’s a plan, there’s space for you, and you’re surrounded by women who are there to work toward their goals too.

That’s the kind of training environment we’ve intentionally built at Lift Lab.

Because if you’re investing your time, energy and money into your health, the experience should feel worth it.

Meet, Jumana ⬇️

Hey everyone! I’m Jumana, Head Coach & Manager here at Lift Lab. I’ve been part of the team since December 2024.

I studied Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Dalhousie and throughout my life, I had always been into sports. When my competitive squash career ended, I lost all my exercise structure, and about six years ago, I walked into a gym and hired a coach to help me get started. I fell in love with strength training, and how empowering it felt to be strong!

That’s exactly what I love bringing to my clients now: being part of someone’s strength training journey and giving them tools they’ll carry for life. I love teaching people how their bodies actually work, and helping them feel strong and capable along the way.

What I’m most passionate about is making strength training feel approachable and sustainable. You don’t need to live in the gym or have a “perfect” routine to make real progress.

When you work with me, you can expect structure to your training, plenty of encouragement, and a coach who genuinely cares about you. I’ll challenge you when you need it, but I’m also big on meeting you where you’re at.

Outside of the gym, if the sun is out, I’m out soaking it in as much as I can! You’ll usually find me walking the waterfront, cooking new recipes (I love Spanish cuisine), or trying out a new restaurant somewhere in the city.

Your hip thrusts might be working harder than your glutes are…

A hip thrust can be one of the most effective exercises for building glute strength… but technique matters.

Your setup, foot position, range of motion, and how you finish the movement can completely change what you’re getting out of every rep.

In this video, Courtlyn breaks down how to perform a proper hip thrust so you can train with more intention and get more from the work you’re already putting in.

At Lift Lab, we don’t just tell you what exercises to do.

Our coaches help you understand how and why you’re doing them, while adjusting your training to your body, experience, and goals.

Save this for your next strength training session!
