Build strength that travels with you with

Strong in Motion

A 12-month progressive strength training program for globally-minded women, wherever in the world you are.

because feeling strong shouldn't depend on which country you're in this month!

Welcome to the strength and fitness program that goes wherever you do — made by an expat coach, for globally-minded women who are done winging it.

It's about time you walked into any gym, anywhere, and knew exactly what to do.

Most programs weren't built for a life like yours.

Most programs assume you have one gym, one schedule, and a consistent routine.

​

You have... none of that.

​

You're teaching back-to-back classes until 4pm and squeezing in a workout before traffic picks up and you need to get home.

 

You're in a hotel in Bangkok with a rack of dumbbells and zero plan.

 

You're home for summer at your mother-in-law's with a resistance band and your best intentions.

​

And every single time, you end up doing one of two things:

​

  • Winging it (and wondering if it's actually doing anything)

  • Walking on the treadmill because at least that feels like something

​​

You're not lazy. You're not unmotivated. You're just working with a program that was never designed for the life you actually live.

Strong in motion was.

No more scrolling Instagram to find a cool looking exercise from an Influencer, or tweaking an old template you saved from a fitness magazine in 2010 (you know you still have some of these!).

You open the app. You check the workout. You do it. That's it. That's the whole thing.

The plan is already there. And if the gym you're in today has exactly one barbell and a broken bench. Your coach has already figured that out. You just train.

You're getting stronger consistently, week by week. You can feel it. The weights are moving differently. You walk into an unfamiliar gym and you know what to do. That almost never used to happen.

And when something does need tweaking... an old shoulder thing flares up, your hotel gym is basically a storage room with a treadmill... you say something, and it gets sorted. Real human, real answer, real solution.

You're not in this alone. You've just got a plan. And someone who gives a damn whether it's working.

You just train. I handle the rest.

Strong in Motion is built around a full school year. One cohesive macro cycle from mid-August through summer. Progressive. Intentional. Programmed around the rhythms of expat life, because I was a teacher!I know what October half-term looks like. I know summer vacation means something different when you're living abroad.

​

The whole year is planned out. You dip in, you dip out, life happens. But the program is always there, always picking up where you left off.

​

And if you stay consistent, at the end of it... you're genuinely stronger than when you started.

New to the gym? I've got you. Been training for years but lost your rhythm? Also got you. Somewhere in the middle? Yes, you too.

Whether you're just getting started or you've been lifting for years, Stron in Motion meets you where you are.

2-5 days/week, you choose

At your initial check-in we find the frequency that actually fits your week.

Active coaching

I'm watching your notes. A nudge, a high five, a correction when I see something, I say something.

this is for you if...

  • You're new to the gym and want a real plan, not a random YouTube workout you found.

  • You've been training on and off for years but never cracked consistency when travel and term time get in the way.

  • You're an international school teacher who loses momentum every summer and starts from scratch every September.

  • You're a trailing spouse or embassy worker whose gym changes every time your posting does.

  • You want someone in your corner who actually gets the life you're living.

Strong in Motion is not 1:1 coaching. Think of it like a small group class. The programming is excellent, the coach is present, but you're not the only one in the room. If you need full individual attention, that's a different conversation.

The coach behind Strong in motion

Katie McGrain

CrossFit L2 · GGS Menopause Specialist · Precision Nutrition Certified

Hi, I'm Katie. A 12-year expat who has trained in approximately every gym configuration imaginable: school gyms, hotel gyms, rooftop setups in Southeast Asia, my mother's living room with a resistance band.

​

I built Strong in Motion because I got tired of watching smart, capable women lose months of progress every time life moved them somewhere new.

​

You just need a program that was built for this life. That's what I made.
