Cara’s extensive experience in weight lifting and her encouraging style in coaching makes every group coaching session one that encourages growth and improvement.

Cara is a phenomenal coach. Always has insightful observations that help improve lifts.

Very helpful and actionable feedback.

Great She: Gave more to think about and execute Clarified my areas to improve Followed up to ensure that I was recalling cues Was positive encouragement as she corrected my technique.

Cara Slaughter is an absolute fantastic coach! Her group coaching sessions are the perfect blend of fun, encouragement, and expertise. Cara has a unique ability to create a support environment where everyone feels motivated to push themselves while still enjoying the process. Since working with her, my technique has improved significantly, and I feel more confident in my abilities. I genuinely look forward to every group session, thanks to Cara’s coaching. She’s an incredible mentor, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Anyone who wants to learn the Oly lifts should work w Cara - and if you only need a place to workout, it’s a great gym! But Cara is an incredible coach.

Cara helped me improve my technique, and guided me through on doing a weight that I've recently missed, had a great session

This session was epic.

I really love the question "what did you notice?" It pulls you into to your body, forces you to pay attention, and helps you remember what to do!

Cara is the best coach! She makes learning easy.

Awesome! Great coaching and made me want to start lifting again!!

Coach Cara is very clear about how the sessions run, and she is very open to questions during the session so new and experienced athletes alike feel comfortable. Even with a number of athletes with different experience and programs, she manages the room well, ensuring all athletes receive feedback. Her feedback provides both technical assistance as well as encouragement!

Fantastic! Very welcoming! Looking forward to working out here!

Ummmm…great! Extremely knowledgeable and personable. Creates an outstanding environment for athletes to train, grow, and reach their full potential.

the coaching is amazing, the community is encouraging and very welcoming!

Leah was super welcoming. Made sure I had everything I needed. Was encouraging. I was really impressed she used my name during the session too.

Brain is the best coach ! Bend the knee when you jerk is the cue for today ! 😊

The gym was not too crowded today and Coach Cara provided feedback on my lifts. She can work with multiple people in a class and no one feels overlooked.

Great feedback and good laughs. Thanks man!

Cara provided excellent examples and mental cues for the lifts and did so at a pace where I was not overwhelmed and at risk of forgetting them.

This was my first day at the gym and Cara made it extremely welcoming. She took time to introduce me to other members which made the gym feel like a community. Will be joining without a doubt

She gave great cues and really helped me think about how to improve my snatch!

Very informative and she's a great teacher who you can tell has years of experience. Regardless of the issue it always felt like she had a good cue/technique to help overcome it.

Cara is super knowledgeable and helpful. She is also very patient and drives you confidence to perform and execute. I also want to give a shout out to coach Lauren who was wonderful and very helpful too

Really great job with the coaching made me understand the material I've been studying and bridging the gaps that I've had while teaching myself. Really appreciated the lesson in bailing out a snatch, I think that is the most underrated technique that you can't really learn online and can only learn through physical coaching. Will definitely be coming more often when I can to improve my technique.

Leah has always been great. I am so happy that she is around to give me feedback and suggestions that will make me better.

Billy's coaching was awesome. Love the atmosphere. Love the people. We need more squat racks.

Great experience! Lots of helpful tips.. can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town!

Immediate improvement in my lifts after my first session. Having a coach that can quickly troubleshoot your technique while proving words of encouragement is why I love coming to this gym.

The time spent with each person and personalized cues from Coach Cara are amazing. The gym is wonderfully supportive and has a great energy.

Helpful coach and generally just a pleasant guy to have around. Cheers.

Awesome coaching and vibe! But less country music please 😉

Made me feel welcome at my first open gym!

Snatch barpath with active legs better, Jerk dips and getting right front foot out still tough

Always good vibes at the 1:30pm group coaching class! Great energy, great coaching feedback!

Cara can see the part of a lift that is missing and find a simple cue to fix it. It’s easy to go into a detailed explanation but rarely helpful mid session, and her experience goes beyond to help her lifters focus and get it done.

Great energy and helpful cues!

Alex has been really helpful coaching me through cues and giving me pointers on my technique

Cara is an all star. Her ability to keep so many people in mind (along with all their individual numbers and cues) is unreal.

Cara has the ability to break down very difficult concepts into something very simple to understand. Great coaching makes all the difference and thank you for Cara again for all the great lessons!

Fabulous

I’m always ready to receive Cara’s constructive and intuitive feedback with every movement. The studio is a welcoming and affirming environment and the space allows folks from all backgrounds to engage with the sport.

Great experience. Cara works so hard to make sure everyone gets what they need.

Amazing coaching and support, can’t say enough!

Cara is the best coach ever! She makes me feel valued, gives me direct feedback, and listens to everything I have to say, all with a smile on her face, always has the best attitude, and handles a large class with the same attention to everyone.

Cara was amazing, as always. I like the way we start at the whiteboard and look forward to listening and sharing before lifting. She has just the keenest eye—but to be effective as a coach you have to be able to communicate with athletes in a meaningful way so they can try to implement what she sees that needs improvement. She is also a great leader and manages time and people effectively. Just THE best.

Great class. I was just restarting after a pause, but really like the early front-end checkin/circle-up and Cara took the time out to give feedback 3x during the session- truly appreciated. Never want this place to rest on its laurels and always hope it will continually improve. But having said that I have to say it was a really run session at a really well run gym.

Great job giving me tips to improve my snatch. Thanks Justin!
