If considering the Empowerment Coach option, please review the FAQ “What is the difference between the regular membership and Empowerment Coaching with Small Group Membership” for details about such.

All memberships include access to our fitness programs*, member forums, nutrition assistance* including macro setup, recipes and suggested monthly meal plan while the Empowerment Coaching Membership is an upgrade to our standard membership with extra benefits.

The Empowerment Coaching with small group option is a guided safe group with empowerment coaches that can help you reach your fitness goals. This is an upgrade to our regular membership, and comes with all member benefits as outlined above PLUS the extra benefit of the Empowerment Coach with Small Group. All our coaches have been through our PowHer.fit Empowerment Coaching course, but they are not certified trainers or nutritionists. Think of them as your daily accountability buddies and support guidance! When you choose this upgraded membership option you will be able to choose the empowerment coach that you want to work with, and you’ll be invited to their small group with other members just like yourself!

Coaches will do daily check-ins, create a safe small community amongst the group to help with encouragement and daily support, they can assist with your nutrition overview and setting your macros if you feel this is an area you will need additional one-on-one assistance verses the teaching materials we already provide online. A small group led by an Empowerment Coach is a place where a new member is more likely to ask more questions, be more vulnerable, and create lasting relationships and friendships amongst their small group. Some people will be more likely to stay committed to their small groups friends and coach, rather than just on their own. Choose your desired coach at checkout and join her safe small group today!

Though there is not an App currently available through our website is considered a web-based app. This means it functions like an app on mobile device. Many of our members save or add the log-in website to their home screen for easy access.

PowHer.fit will be beneficial for women AND men. Between the nutritional guidelines and the full body HIIT and resistance training, men will see results and benefits from this program.

The PowHer.fit logo and marketing can seem geared to only women BUT that’s because PowHer.fit was founded knowing many women are scared of resistance weight training. There is a stigma that women who lift weights will become bulky and masculine, so marketing wise our founder, Randa, wanted to bust that myth. In fact, Randa and her husband both follow the PHF programs as do many other couples.

No, you do not need gym access or gym equipment to complete a workout. Most of our programs have a gym and home option for each day of the program. We now have a “Zero Equipment” program, perfect for the beginner or most advanced athlete! The home option utilizes household objects to complete each workout. No matter which program you choose, we provide both written and video instruction for every movement within the workout. We ensured no matter your fitness level or knowledge, you can tackle each workout with confidence. You can also inner-change your gym and home workouts to fit your schedule. If you can not make it to the gym that day, just do the corresponding home workout!

Yes, you will be able to switch in between the gym and home workouts to fit your schedule and availability!

We will actually teach you how to use household items like milk jugs, water bottles, pillows and couches to get your workout in. If you want to do the more advanced options of the home workouts, we do suggest purchasing dumbbells and resistance bands!

Of course! There will even be voice commands to go along with the how-to videos so you will truly be getting a virtual personal training experience!

We suggest members start with our foundational program of Strength 1.0 FIRST. (Unless they are doing the pregnancy program or postpartum HealHer program first of course). After Strength 1.0, we suggest following up with Bikini Body Conditioning. Strength 1.0 followed by Bikini Body Conditioning (total of 6 months of training) will yield the most optimum performance results. After Bikini Body Conditioning, we suggest moving into PowHer 1.0 and then rounding out with the PowHer Pair: Booty & Abs Program.

If you are postpartum or recovering from an injury or surgery, we do suggest starting with the PostPartum HealHer program FIRST before moving into Strength 1.0. Remember all our programs have modified, standard, and advanced movements and we want you to choose the training option that best fits your skill set.

If you are pregnant we do have a special “Pump Your Bump” pregnancy specific program for all trimesters more for beginners, but also all of our other programs are pregnancy safe if 1) you’ve previously been strength training and 2) you have been cleared by your doctor, midwife or physician to exercise during pregnancy. We even have specific pregnancy modifications written in where they are needed. If you are new to training and have been cleared by your doctor, we suggest starting with the pregnancy “Pump Your Bump” program and choosing the modified movements for your beginner skill set. We do suggest all pregnant women go through the 12 week (3 month) “Pump Your Bump” program at least once. If you complete it, you can go through it again switching your skill set level option ie: standard or modified.

Both the H.I.I.T. and Resistance Training workouts are designed to last at least 30 minutes. However, every workout is structured so that if you need to cut your workout time short, you can go home proud knowing you got the most effective movements in first!

For those of you working out on the clock, DON’T worry about being able to finish, focus on getting STARTED! Once you start, just set your alarm for whenever you need to leave, follow the workout in the order it is programmed, and stop whenever it’s time to go! Do NOT feel guilty for not finishing, be PROUD of yourself for starting and for accomplishing everything you did!

PowHer.Fit is intentionally designed to keep you from getting bored, but also keep you from wasting time figuring out your workouts! The first week your workouts change, there will be some extra transition time as you find your equipment, learn the movements and figure out an appropriate weight. The second week, your workouts will flow MUCH faster because you will know where to go, what to use and which weight to select.

PowHer.Fit is going to introduce you to a WIDE variety of movements! The longer you commit to changing your mind and body with PowHer.Fit, the more you will learn and faster you will be able to understand each new workout!

We do encourage a short warm-up of stretches before each workout as well as a proper cool down at the end. If you’ve got extra time to spare, add some L.I.S.S. cardio (low-intensity steady state) to keep your fat burning levels fueling.

We currently have three: Randa Carrabba, Jeff McCoy and Grant Carrabba

Jeff has been with PowHer.fit since October 2019, and he comes with 17 years of professional training experience. He is a level 2 Certified Personal Trainer with college degrees in Kinesiology. Aside from his plethora of knowledge and experience with fitness, he brings real-life experience as he and his wife are a family of six! With four boys, he understand the importance of pregnancy and postpartum fitness by seeing first-hand all the changes that his own wife went 4X. With our primary clients being women, it was important to have someone on staff that knows more than just regular strength training and fitness for women, but also can assist and aid during more vulnerable stages like pregnancy and postpartum.

Grant Carrabba received his certification from ISSA in the Spring of 2020 and his masters studies were in Kinesiology.

Jeff helped teach Randa take many resistance training movements to make them safe, secure, and stable for pregnant women. You’ll learn, see and hear about all of these movements in our 12 week full body program “Pump Your Bump”. This program has a strong emphasis on core and pelvic core work as well. The goal is to help as many women as possible gain strength, build labor training cardio endurance, as well as improve on their abdominal wall, pelvic floor, and breathing during this journey..

Yes, the app includes nutrition strategies. Over time the number of recipes gathered and shared within the community will continue to grow. We do not provide you with a strict grocery list break down, but we will have a macro cheat sheet available for our members that will be very beneficial while grocery shopping!

Yes! The best part about PowHer.fit’s Nutrition Strategy is we help you get set up based on your own personal goals, and then we show you how to fit your own food freedom and nutrition choices to match the caloric and macro splits set up individually for you!

If you would like to reset your program and start again, email us at [email protected] and we will reset your program for you!

We do not tailor a custom or detailed meal plan for every Powher.fit member who registers, but rather a suggested nutritional plan, have numerous recipes on our member forum, as well as a 30 day monthly meal plan guidance to follow. We want our members to have food freedom and to LEARN how to eat on their own without having to follow a strict meal plan. We have found this is the best for long-term success.

Yes! Or should we say YASSSSS! There is an online community forum that will have lots of tips, tricks, success stories, topic discussions and engagement within the Powher.fit community. The forum will be able to be accessed by members only and it will have a search tool within it. Bye bye facebook groups and notifications, hello organized online community forum!

You should adjust your active and inactive day calorie targets at least every month, or if you are on an aggressive 2lb/wk or greater calorie-deficit regimen, aim to adjust every 5lbs lost. Every time you adjust your calories, your macronutrient gram value targets will change, but the ratio should stay consistent (Ectomorphs 40C/30P/30F, Endomorphs 35C/30P/35F)

Of course! We have a full blog post all about the Postpartum HealHer program linked HERE. You can actually read about all of our programs on our blog linked HERE.

We do have a pregnancy specific program for all trimesters called “Pump Your Bump”. If you are pregnant, all of our programs are pregnancy safe if 1) you’ve previously been strength training and 2) you have been cleared by your doctor, midwife or physician to exercise during pregnancy. We even have specific pregnancy modifications written in where they are needed. If you are new to training and have been cleared by your doctor, we suggest starting with the pregnancy specific “Pump Your Bump” program and choosing the modified movements for your beginner skill set.

We do have a PostPartum HealHer program that does have special nutrition suggestions within the program for breastfeeding moms. You will want to be cleared by your doctor, physician or midwife before resuming exercise after delivering a baby. We do suggest starting with our PostPartum HealHer program first to slowly regain your strength. This program is also ideal for anyone recovering from an injury, surgery, or accident, so it is not only limited to Postpartum Mommas.

You better believe it! One of the biggest problems with large-scale programs that SAY they’re great for anyone and everyone is they have everyone do the same movements, the same sets, and same reps. PowHer.Fit is NOT like everyone else, because NEITHER ARE YOU!

Not only have we included Intensity and Exhaustion guides to help you understand how different resistance levels maximize muscle growth or fat loss, but we have also included THREE movement options for each station! Is the recommended exercise (Intermediate) too difficult? We’ve included a modified one! Want something MORE challenging?? Try the advanced option! Coupled with the intensity guides, PowHer.Fit is probably the most customizable fitness program you have ever seen!

PowHer.Fit includes 4 Days of professionally programmed resistance training and 1 Day of High-Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.). If these 5 days are executed properly, you will find yourself breathing hard, sweating, and increased heart rate after your workout. All of these are signs of excellent cardio-vascular exercise. If feeling you were not pushed during your workout, try increasing your weights and/or decreasing your rest time.

Since 5 days of vigorous exercise is difficult enough for many to execute, not to mention fitting in their schedule, we are not formally asking you to do more than the programmed amount of activity.

We DO, however, suggest moving as much as possible! If your body is able and you have the ability, a traditional “cardio” workout can certainly be added on the 6th or 7th day, or on the same day as one of your Resistance Training workouts (although we recommend spacing them at least a few hours apart). Otherwise, doing anything other than sitting/lying down is going to do wonders for your body in the long run, especially if it’s outside where your body can be exposed to the elements, healthy bacteria, and sunlight.

Here are a few other excellent activity options you can add each week:
– Hiking (or just walking around the neighborhood!)
– Biking (outside!) or a Cycle Spin Class
– Hunting/Fishing/Kayaking/Canoeing/Camping
– Jogging/Running
– Group exercise class
– Yard work (get your hands dirty!)
– Home improvement projects

A full day of being on your feet and moving around will ALWAYS out-perform any 30 or 60-minute workout when it comes to calories burned! YES, you read that right!

It is unfortunate for our bodies that we have built a society dependent on convenience foods and desk jobs, driving our calorie intake up and our activity level down. This is why daily physical activity coupled with educated nutritional decisions is so vital. The conveniences technology has given us are undeniably beneficial, but the consequences those conveniences have on our bodies are, you guessed it, undeniably inconvenient.

The more you can stay on your feet and move around, the more calories you will burn, the higher your metabolism will be, your posture will improve, chronic pain will subside, and the happier and healthier both you and your waist-line will be!

Yes, you can switch the workout days during a given workout week to better fit your schedule. However, we do not suggest skipping between weeks or from one week to another without completing the previous week. The weekly workouts should be done in order, however, you can switch the days within the week if you need to!

Of course! This program is great for those trying to lose fat, gain muscle mass, or accomplish both at the same time. Because this program can be tailored to your own goals, this is absolutely a great program for those trying to gain lean muscle mass.

We have included guides to this in the program! In weeks 1 and 2, EVERYONE is going to LEARN THE BURN because there are no sets or reps, you are going to do each exercise for TIME! It won’t matter if you grabbed 2lbs or 20lbs, your muscles are going to start burning at some point before time is up!

The reason we structured Weeks 1 and 2 this way is to teach you how hard to push yourself! We’ve included an Intensity Guide to tailor that burn towards building muscle or losing fat. Keep in mind, your nutrition is going to be the primary driver of fueling your body to increase or decrease in size, but the guide dials in the reps and rest scheme to fine-tune what is more specifically optimal for building new muscle tone, or burning off body fat to reveal the muscle tone you have!

First, identify where the pain is coming from. If the pain is coming from muscle tissue (along with a bone, hardens when contracted, softens when relaxed) you could be feeling a ‘burning’ sensation which is caused by lactic acid build-up during intense exercise. This is what you want to be feeling every single time you start a movement. Once the discomfort reaches an intensity of a 7 or 8/10 (10 being intolerable), that’s when it’s time to stop, rest, and let that burning sensation subside as your body flushes the lactic acid out of the muscle.

If the pain is coming from a joint (hip-socket, shoulder, knee, elbow, ankle, etc.), stop what you’re doing and try one or more of the following:
– Slow the movement down
– Reduce the range of motion of movement
– Use a lighter resistance

9/10 times, doing a combination of the above will fix the problem. This indicates that you have found the intensity your body is ready for, so continue performing the movement accordingly for the recommended duration. When you perform the same or similar movement in a few days, you should notice you’re able to modify less and do a little more!

If you are still experiencing issues, send a message to our experienced Chiropractor – Dr. Patrick Linne. This is one of his areas of expertise!

Here at PowHer.Fit paid members do get priority email access to our professionals! We will limit each customer to 2 in-depth emails per month. Between the videos, voice-overs, written descriptions, blog and online forum of the entire PowHer.Fit community – there is a lot of content put together to help each client succeed and to teach them the proper way to do so. If the customer then needs more one-on-one guidance, there will be an additional charge for one-on-one coaching depending upon how much additional individual coaching time the client requests.
