We are located at 4747 N Ashland Ave. in Chicago.
There is street parking available on both Ashland and Lawrence. These are both busy streets, so we recommend giving yourself a few extra minutes.
Ladies Who Lift Studios is an inclusive women’s space meant to serve and support those who are female-identifying and non-binary.
We do! Head to our online site and check out our program and online training options.
Yes. We are trained and experienced in working with people who are brand new to strength training, advanced lifters, and anything in between.
We have specialized training and are certified in prenatal personal training. The benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle, including modified strength training, during pregnancy are well documented. If you’re pregnant, we highly recommend working with one of our coaches one on one.
Note: we are not medical professionals, physical therapists, or pelvic floor specialists. Please check with your healthcare provider for guidance in these matters.
Yup. We welcome people from all fitness levels, as well as all body types, shapes, and sizes.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, you must do so on Momence no later than 24 hours prior to your scheduled session in order for that session to remain usable in the future.
For Pro and Premier Members Only:
Late Cancel: If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, you’ll incur a $10 late cancellation fee.
No Show Fee: If you don’t show up for a session that you are scheduled for, you will be charged a $25 no show fee without exceptions.
Please note that late cancellations and no shows for individual appointments and class packs will result in a loss of the appointment.
Each LWL Studios class is 60 minutes long and includes a warm up, and the workout of the day. Your trainer will provide form corrections, technique cues, and answer any other questions along the way so you leave feeling educated and empowered.
Simply go to the class you’d like to attend and sign up for our waitlist.
You are able to see and sign up for classes four weeks into the future.
Yes. We’re serious about our members receiving as much of a personal training experience as possible. This isn’t the typical group class at a big box gym. This is real strength training that gets our members real results.
That depends! We find that some people are more comfortable with starting in a one on one environment to learn the basics and foundations at their own pace before joining our group classes. Others love hoping right into the action. Either way, we are here to meet you where you are at, or help guide you to your better choice.
You have 3 months from the date of purchase to use the sessions in your package.
For sure. A huge benefit to our small group size is that you’ll receive individualized coaching, so even if you’re brand new, you’ll be taken care of.
All packages are final sale. You need to cancel your membership 30 days before the next billing date to avoid further charges.
For beginners, this is the route we recommend. You’ll have your coach’s undivided attention and your training will be completely customized to you — your goals, lifestyle, injury history (if any), and preferences.
If you’re not able to find a day or time that works for you, you may either check another trainer’s availability, or fill out a session request form here. We cannot guarantee an open spot but we will do our best to accommodate what works best for you.
Each session with your trainer is 60 minutes.
A normal session will consist of a dynamic warm up, followed by a workout designed by your trainer to fit your body, goals, and fitness level. Your trainer will provide form corrections, technique cues, and answer any other questions along the way so you leave feeling educated and empowered.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, you must do so on Momence no later than 24 hours prior to your scheduled session in order for that session to remain usable in the future.

It’s great that you already know your way around a gym and are comfortable with lifting weights! We believe that everyone at any level of fitness or experience can greatly benefit from 1:1 training.
Your coach will help you perfect your movements for optimal effectiveness toward your goals, as well as greatly reducing your risk for injury.
Also, you’ll be trained in a structured and expertly designed program intended to get you the outcomes you want.
For sure! You are welcome to purchase a package and book sessions at your leisure. Please note that training sessions are subject to each trainer’s availability, so we recommend booking in advance if possible.
Two reasons. First, we decided to cap the number of members because we want everyone to have enough space to work out and have access to the equipment. We’ve all worked out in crowded gyms before and that’s not the vibe for LWL Studios.
Second, open gym hours are held outside of the times when we’re holding small group training classes. Again, we want the gym to feel as comfortable as possible for everyone inside, so we reserve the space when classes are taking place. Open gym hours are 9:30 am – 6 pm, 7 days a week.
Yes. You may request a membership to LWL Studios even if you’re not working with us in any other capacity like 1:1 personal training, small group training, or utilizing any of our online coaching options. Please note that we only offer a limited number of memberships to ensure adequate space and access to equipment.
Yes! You can purchase a membership through the Momence app.
Yes. If you want access to the gym outside of your normal 1:1 or small group training sessions, you’ll need to also purchase a membership to LWL Studios.
Not always. Our coaches are only guaranteed to be present during their own personal training hours.
Yes! If you need to cancel, you can access your account portal by logging into the Momence app.
Please keep in mind that you need to cancel 30 days before your next billing date, otherwise you will be charged one more time for the upcoming month.
For example, if your billing date is on the 25th each month and you cancel on the 23rd, you’ll be billed one more time.
We do not. We keep our membership numbers limited to ensure that everyone has adequate space to move around and access the equipment. To this end, we do not currently allow drop-ins during open gym hours.
