She Stopped Chasing Skinny and Started Getting Strong Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you stop chasing skinny and start chasing STRONG?
In this episode of Women Behind the Weights, we sit down with a Schaumburg LadyStrong Fitness member Ania who completely changed the way she looks at health, fitness, and food.
She went from barely being able to do knee push-ups to completing full push-ups, lifting heavier weights, prioritizing protein, eating more to fuel her body, and building strength she can actually see and feel.
But her biggest transformation wasn’t physical.
It was realizing she no longer wanted to be skinny she wanted to be STRONG.
If you’ve spent years believing you need to eat less, weigh less, or make yourself smaller to be healthy, this conversation is for you.
Strong looks different on every woman. This is HerStory.
