Strength for every season of life

The strength you build today carries you through every stage of life. Building muscle and bone in your 30s and 40s creates a strong foundation, and training through perimenopause, menopause and beyond helps you keep it.

Every Loa class is programmed by Dr. Lauren Shelton, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and board-certified orthopedic specialist, to be challenging and kind to your joints. Whether you're 35 and building a foundation or 55 and lifting for longevity, you'll get expert cues, a plan that works every muscle group twice a week, and a community of women cheering you on.

“I only write reviews for programs that are worth it, and this one goes above and beyond when it comes to fitness.

Not only do I feel like I am getting a great workout with each class, but I actually feel like l'm learning about the human body and WHY we are doing what we are doing.

Lauren makes the classes both fun and effective, and the best part is the longest class in the app is about 30 minutes long.

I have two kids and a tight schedule so being able to get an effective workout in a short amount of time is key. I LOVE LOA!” -Anonymous App Store Review

    PATRICIA

  • It truly feels like a sustainable and healthy approach to strength training with a focus on longevity instead of all of the gimmicky fitness & body trends.

    SYDNEY

  • I've tried so many different workout apps. This is the first one where I have genuinely looked forward to the workouts. You can tell that Lauren knows her stuff! I love that she is an educated physical therapist rather than someone with a large following who just happens to like fitness.

    Grace

  • I literally don't have to find motivation to work out, I love it and it makes me feel so good inside my body. I know I might sound like a crazy groupie as I keep telling you this, but your program literally saves me.

    Nitzan

  • Absolutely loving the membership so far. The class length is amazing! The workouts have me sore and get me sweating...such a short time yet my muscles are so fatigued. As a stay-at-home mom this has been such a game changer for me. So happy I joined. Also sooo affordable!
