MUSCLE IS THE ANSWER

We all know staying in shape as you get older takes effort. 


At age 53, I can honestly tell you that the hours of cardio and light weights that got me great results in my 20’s and 30’s simply doesn’t cut it anymore.

The truth is, muscles that don’t get worked aren’t likely to stick around so we need to make sure that we put strength training to the top of the priority list so we can maintain that lean muscle mass for decades to come. 

Whether you consider yourself a beginner or you are a seasoned fitness enthusiast there is room for you in the STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH program.

I offer modifications for all workouts including low-impact options, and make substitutions for common issues like wrists and shoulders.   

WHAT'S INCLUDED

36 WORKOUTS you can do with minimal equipment (Dumbbells, Bands, Stability Ball, and Bench or chair).

​

FULL-LENGTH VIDEO or follow within the app. Modifications for all levels from confident beginner to advanced

Transform your body with STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH

  • ENJOYABLE: Some women find strength-based workouts downright boring. I hear you on that and I agree that they can feel monotonous. I make it my mission to make sure we get the mix of progressive overload along with variety…so you still get awesome results without the boredom!!

 

  • EASE: These workouts are between 30-40 minutes so they can fit into your busy schedule. All workouts can be done from home with minimal equipment.

 

  • EFFECTIVE: Most of my clients tell me that by the end of 8 weeks, they definitely feel stronger and look a lot more toned than when they started and many of them love their results so much they've joined my continuity program once they finish the 8 weeks of STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH.

Hey there! I’m Jen Kirsch… online certified personal trainer and nutrition coach since 1995.

I am also a 53-year-old woman, wife, and mom of 3.

I've had my share of unexpected midlife curveballs, setbacks, and hormonal mayhem so I know some of what you are up against when trying to make changes to your body in midlife. 

I've created STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH 5.0 with you in mind. 

You see, I've been coaching fitness for nearly 3 decades, and since then I've trained thousands of women using the same techniques you'll find in STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH 5.0 so I know what it can do for you too!!!

One of the most common struggles I hear from midlife women is: "I want to get leaner and more toned but I have a hard time being consistent and I really need accountability"

I will teach you my top secrets for staying fit at home—and how you can maximize your results with minimal equipment in less time!

The STRAIGHT UP STRENGTH system is exactly how I program for my private clients and what I personally follow, so I know it works!

I'm Doing Your Workouts Regularly And Feel Amazing!

I have enjoyed your workouts so very much. I will definitely be signing up for your Nourished U program in January. 


Your classes are amazing. Love your detailed instructions. You cover so much and guide us all along the way. Just want you to know I’ve never experienced instruction like this before. 
Thanks for being incredible YOU.

Your Program Is EXACTLY What I Needed

Just want to say how much I like your videos. You are very personable and very real. I like your little anecdotes at times too. Your program is EXACTLY what I needed and am so happy I found it. Thank you Jen!

I Finally Do Strength Training

Jen, you are so very helpful. I have, as you mentioned, paid for other options that I didn’t complete. But you’re so wonderful and I don’t want to over enthuse but I wouldn’t have completed this without you! I finally do strength training and I can’t thank you enough! It’s your awesome personality that makes this work!

Kickstart For Me 

This program was a kickstart for me after not working out for some time. THANK YOU for the incentive/program. That said, the length of this program (8 weeks) was an incentive. You provided enough options to each exercise and additional videos that I am starting the 8 weeks again. Then, I’ll see what’s next!

30-40 Minutes is Perfect!

Most days 30-40 minutes is perfect but on days when I had more time I often added on a metcon or did some yoga on my own. I like the way that your program is set up because I can adjust it to the amount of time I have available. On tired days or when I was struggling, the 30-35 min was great because it always seemed doable and not overwhelming.

I Love This Program. 

I especially liked all of the instructions you give during the videos, such as the advice about ways to modify the exercises. I also love the 30-35 minutes in length, which is great for my schedule. On weeks that are so hectic at work, I love that I can also do the core or metcon video and know I got a great workout.

  • What equipment do I need?
    Ideally, you'll have two or three sets of dumbbells ranging from 5 to 8 pounds up to 20 to 25 pounds, depending on your fitness level. Additionally, traditional weight training equipment, a bench, stability ball, and mini bands are utilized. Modifications are given in many cases, however click here if you would like links to suggested equipment.
  • What format do the workouts come in?
    Each workout includes step-by-step instructions and a space to track your sets, reps, and weights. As a VIP you'll also get access to the full-length follow-along guided video as well as LIVE workouts for a more immersive experience.
  • Can I modify and work around injuries?
    Alternatives are provided for various exercises to accommodate injuries. However, if your injuries significantly limit basic movements like squats, lunges, and push-ups, the program may be challenging. Coaching calls can offer personalized guidance.
  • Is it possible to join later?
    Currently, VIP enrollment is limited to alumni of my Straight Up Strength programs and recent fitness challenge participants. The next enrollment window will not be until late Spring 2025.
  • How many workouts are included in each cycle and how long are they?
    Each week, you'll receive four full-length strength training workouts, averaging 35 to 40 minutes. Additionally, shorter core, flexibility, and HIIT workouts are provided as add-ons, ranging from 10 to 20 minutes.
  • I've been a part of several of your programs. Will those be available in the app?
    No, you'll still access your other programs on the website jenniferkirschfitness.com.
  • Will I retain access to my current round of Straight up Strength?
    If you're currently in the live 8-week round of Straight Up Strength then you will maintain access to the last 2 weeks workouts for 4 weeks so that you can complete any final workouts that might not have been complete...if you choose to. However, if you missed a workout you do not need to try and go back to complete that workout, you can just move forward into the new workouts that are being given to you upon signing up for the Straight Up Strength Series.
  • Will there be another 8-Week Straight Up Strength, and if so when?
    The next Straight Up Strength 8 week program is tentatively scheduled for Spring of 2025. By selecting the VIP option, you'll automatically be enrolled in Straight Up Strength when the new cohort begins. Keep in mind, Straight Up Strength offers enhanced coaching and additional features beyond the monthly continuity…. By opting for the continuity VIP option now, your access to the live Straight Up Strength program will be included in your membership. As well as all future Straight Up Strength Programs, for as long as you remain a VIP Member.
  • Is the continuity SUS and SUS VIP good for beginners?
    This program is not a beginner program. It's assumed that you have some experience with strength training. If you are new to training in this capacity, check out the STRONGER U Basics program HERE. Feel free to us support@jenniferkirschfitness.com for guidance on the best fit for you.
  • What if I can't do four workouts per week?
    Consistency is key, but the workouts in the program allow for a level of flexibility. For best results, aim for at least three workouts per week adjusting as needed for busy weeks or unpredictable schedules.
  • What if I'm doing another program or app?
    Consider your current fitness level and listen to your body. Overtraining may hinder results, so focus on quality over quantity. Choose the program that aligns best with your goals and recovery needs.
  • Do the workouts include full length videos?
    The workouts in the SUS include demo videos or cues for each exercise. SUS VIP members gain access to full-length follow-along guided videos in addition to the features offered in the app and the added coaching support with messenger access and LIVE monthly events.

If you ever decide to cancel, you’ll still have access to the app through the end of your current billing cycle. After that, your access will simply end on what would have been your next billing date.
  • What if I want to do all LIVE workouts?
    I teach live 3x per week and each workout is 60 minutes. If you have questions about that option please click here to book a LIVE class.
  • Do I have to join FB?
    Facebook is not a requirement of the program however it's a great way to connect with other women in my community outside of the app.
