This conference was something I was absolutely honored to be a part of. I had just been telling my husband I would love to see an event of this kind and you have nailed it on the head. The strength community for women is drastically on the rise and for a conference like this to help lead that way is priceless. -2021 Instructor

The inaugural WaGiSS conference was a professionally executed, knowledge filled, small group 3 day experience. 

I knew this would be a great event and the reality is the experience far surpassed my expectations. Can't wait for next year! -2021 Racheal Paveglio

The Women and Girls in Strength Sports Conference was amazing!!  A very well run event and top notch instruction.  Everyone was welcoming, encouraging, and so incredibly knowledgable.  But the absolute best part of this conference was to be surrounded by women dedicated to their strength sport!  To be in a room full of like minded women who love to power lift (or Olympic lift or Strongman) is awesome! Everyone was encouraging and supportive, and working towards growing the sport.  Great experience!  I will be back next year for sure!  -2021 Jess P

I could not wait for the first Women and Girls in Strength Sports Conference to arrive, and it exceeded all of my expectations. As a competitive power lifter, the course offerings gave me additional knowledge of nutrition and mobility. The all-star line up of instructors allowed me to refine lifting techniques. I cannot wait to attend again and would recommend this experience to anyone in strength sports. Being surrounded by strong women who share a passion for strength was truly empowering. -2021 Sarah Wages

A fabulous weekend filled with new knowledge and new friends.  A very positive atmosphere where all were welcomed, regardless of skill or experience level.  Amazing guest speakers and instructors.  I am honored to have taken part in the first Women and Girls in Strength Sports Conference.  -2021 Abby Coe

If you are passionate like I am about getting more females involved in strength sports and helping them fall in love with getting strong, then you need to attend WAGISS! This event was everything I had hoped for and more from discussions on how to break down barriers for more females to be involved in strength sports to the female instructors teaching us how to get stronger! Definitely will want to come again next year! -2021 Laura Su

WOW, to explain this event all in one review would be very complicated because this was a top-notch event. So many educated professionals with hands-on instruction, The opportunity to ask questions, and going through the actual movement rather than just learning about it on a screen. if you're looking to better understand lifting, improve your skills as an athlete, or better teach your own athletes as a coach I highly recommend this conference! wonderful community amazing athletes from all over the US that immediately felt like family. I will be attending next year thanks so much for putting it on.  -2021 Connie Nightingale

This conference was a game changer. I enjoyed learning from strong women and making me friends. I took away key advice that will help me be the best lifter I can be. Thank you and I will see you next year!  -2021 Nachelle Pena

This was my first in person conference I've attended and I had an amazing experience! The technique classes were all great as I could perform the exercises and get feedback right away from the coaches. The discussions we had with other attendees as well as the coaches in other classes were very valuable. I learned a lot, both as an athlete and a trainer and the event was ran very well. Overall I had an amazing time and I am looking forward to more events in the future! 2021 anonymous

Attending the first ever Women & Girls in Strength Sports Conference was an amazing, fantastic experience! The information amid the topics was top notch, and only really surpassed by the class and genuine camaraderie of the instructors and attendees themselves. This is a wonderful, wonderful thing for women and girls in strength.

And P.S. - I’m a guy. -2021 Jerry y Handley

I would highly recommend this course to any person involved in powerlifting or similar sport regardless of their level of experience. The opportunity to interact with such high level experts was so helpful. Quality of instructors was superb. Practical sessions were great to practice the theory and apply concepts with supervision and immediate feedback. - 2021 E. Richardson
