Just get started…just do SOMETHING…
I’ve taught hundreds of women around the world their first pull-up and the #1 thing holding them back…
Was themselves…
They were scared to get started in a goal so “ambitious”, they were paralyzed and fearful of “failure” or even sometimes fearful of “success”…
They might be comparing themselves to others…or comparing themselves to their past self…
But one thing is for certain when they DO finally get started and when they finally have the support and guidance from a an amazing community…they become a whole new version of themselves AND…
They get that first pull-up quicker then they ever imagined…
If you’re ready to shift your mindset and get started I am hosting a free beginner pull-up workshop tomorrow at 12pm (eastern time)…
We will break free of those beliefs and give you the support you need to get that pull-up and become a whole new version of yourself !
We are actually almost sold out 🙈…as we have limited spots !

⚡️Eight Phases of Getting your Pull-up ⠀
⠀
Getting your pull-up is NOT a linear Journey..it’s literally a rollercoaster ride. One day you feel strong the next day you feel like you took ten steps backward. ⠀
⠀
It’s so important to understand and identify what phase you are in so that you know the right areas to work. Knowing the phases also allows you to mentally see your path to success⠀
⠀
Let’s be honest...getting a pull-up can feel impossible & frustrating. The time it takes you to get your pull-up depends on how much time you are willing to dedicate to it, the central nervous system (mind & body connection) to make it happen & of course strength. ⠀
⠀
Check out the phases I have created to help my clients clearly identify where they are at so that we can focus on the right areas to accelerate their pull-up progress.
➡️Phase 1: Can hang of the bar for a few seconds but that is it ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 2: Can hang the bar for 20-30seconds at least and get that initial shrug of the pull-up but is stuck getting anywhere past that point ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 3: Hanging is no problem at all, you can shrug and get a slight bend in those elbows ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 4: You can shrug and get about halfway in that pull-up but you might be using your shoulders to much and you start pulling with one side more that the other (unevenly) ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 5: You are able to get one full pull-up, it may not be easy and you might be using your shoulders a bit but you get that chin up there! ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 6: You first pull-up is seeming easier and now you are trying to connect 1-3 Pull-ups
⠀
➡️Phase 7: Cranking out 1-3 Pull-ups with no problem but slows down after that ⠀
⠀
➡️Phase 8- Cranking out 5 or more pull-ups with no problem
Want to learn more about this approach and phases ?! I made a brand new video on it !!
Comment the word “PHASE” below ⬇️and I’ll send you the entire YouTube video to help ya 😉 ⠀

KEYNOTES
Growth Hurts… “Literally” | The Power of Resilience
To be an American Ninja Warrior, you must be in peak condition both physically and mentally, have the flexibility to change, and be fearless of obstacles. Despite having all of these traits, Angela Gargano experienced the devastating setback of tearing her ACL. For most, this would end their athletic career, but not Angela. She defied the odds by not only making a remarkable physical comeback and returning to future competitions but also through her recovery, dedicating herself to developing her inner strength.
In this keynote, Angela Gargano delves into the transformative power of resilience, demonstrating how she utilized resilience to face adversity head-on. She shares the techniques she employed to cultivate resilience, including allowing herself to sit in the “suck” and feel what she needed to feel, how she shifted her negative mindset into a positive one, how she developed a support system by borrowing the beliefs from others while she struggled mentally, and what mattered in the come-back. By sharing her vulnerability and openly discussing her emotional journey, she empowers students to confront their challenges and channel their inner resilience.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending the program, students will:
- learn how to gain insight into how resilience can help them face challenges, overcome setbacks, and achieve personal growth.

What If It All Goes Right? Even when it isn’t…
There is enormous power in shifting your mindset—especially when it seems as if everything is going wrong. BUT WHAT IF IT GOES RIGHT? is about changing your perspective to understand how and why what is happening in your life, even at the toughest moments, is happening for you, not to you. Although the world may seem dark and scary, this inspirational keynote shows participants that you have complete control of how you see your life and choose to act. Why live in a world where everything sucks when, by shifting your mindset, you can live in a world full of possibility and positivity?
In this keynote, Angela Gargano shares her story from an insecure and anxious teenager to misdirected young adult to becoming a woman who saw how to step into her power.

Angela’s story unveils her struggles, battling with body image, self-worth, and the arduous process of learning to accept and love her body in the face of societal pressures. After tearing her ACL two times, including once on America Ninja Warrior, she was forced to look deep within her insecurities to re-identify who she was beyond looks & athleticism and find the deeper sense of self-worth she needed.
