OUR ORIGIN STORY
Why Lift Lake?
Hi, I’m Megan, the founder of Lift Lake.
I never liked the gym, or sports in general, and never felt confident in my body. That changed when I started working with a personal trainer: how I carried myself, how I saw my body, and how I felt both physically and emotionally.
What really changed? I could measure my strength. Every week the weight I lifted went up, and my confidence rose with it. I felt strong, calm, and sure of my own body in a way I hadn’t before.
Around the same time, I started noticing more research about how important muscle is for almost every aspect of health and longevity, especially for women, who naturally start losing muscle mass in their 30s without strength training.

I wanted to train more, but couldn’t find the right fit. Personal training is expensive. A regular gym can be intimidating. And most group classes felt more like a rave: loud, dark, high intensity, and best attended with earplugs.
Nothing existed that felt like training with a personal trainer, just done as a group: slower paced, focused on form, and built around progressive overload (adding weight steadily over time).
So I opened the studio I couldn’t find anywhere else, hoping to help people build muscle, gain confidence, and age better.
And why the name Lift Lake? I wanted to combine the strength of a lift with the serenity of a lake: a beautiful place where people gather. That’s what Lift Lake has become.
Come get stronger with us!
