Weight Training for Women in Scottsdale: 1:1 and Small Group Training
Strength training is the ultimate life hack for women!
It’s not just about toned muscles or lifting heavier weights—it’s about building a body and mindset that carry you through life with more energy, confidence, and resilience. Sure, life gets hectic, but making time to train is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. When you feel strong physically, it changes the way you show up in the world—stronger, steadier, and ready for anything.
I’m Meredith McDaniel, and I lead both 1:1 personal training and small group weight sessions right here in North Scottsdale at Jeremy Scott Fitness. My programs—like Women & Weights—are built specifically for women who want to train smart, lift safely, and feel stronger every single day. Whether you thrive with the focus of 1:1 coaching or love the energy of a supportive small group, we’ve created a space where women can build strength, confidence, and community.
Why Weight Training Is Essential for Women
Weight training isn’t just about “getting toned.” It’s about:
Preserving muscle mass (which naturally declines after age 30)
Boosting metabolism so you burn more calories even at rest
Improving bone density to protect against osteoporosis
Supporting balance, posture, and joint health
Enhancing mental strength and confidence both in and out of the gym
In short—lifting weights should be a priority. It's essential for women who want to feel strong, energized, and empowered!
Scottsdale Women-Led Training You Can Trust
Some of the most common concerns I hear from women are:
👉 “What if I don’t know what I’m doing?”
👉 “What if I get hurt?”
👉 “I don’t want to get too big.”
I can relate to each of these concerns! That’s exactly why safety and proper form come first—always. I’m a very detail-oriented coach, making adjustments that feel right for you because we all have different injury histories, body mechanics, and life experiences. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
The great news? Weight-lifting is fantastic for building lean muscle mass, which not only supports all the health benefits we talked about earlier, but also helps you achieve that toned, fit look many women want. In our sessions, we focus on areas that tend to be common “problem zones” for women while also emphasizing functional movement patterns that make day-to-day life easier and stronger—whether it’s lifting groceries, carrying kids, or going for a hike with friends.
Small Group Training: Strength in Numbers
There’s something truly powerful about training with other like-minded women who get it. This is why programs like Women & Weights are so effective. Every woman in the class is there to grow, thrive, and support one another—it’s true female-to-female uplifting energy, not competition with each other.
Training in this kind of environment is motivating in a way that pushes you to challenge yourself and be your best. With a focus on progression with proper form, each session is efficient, high-energy, and results-driven—but it’s also a damn good time! You’ll leave feeling stronger, accomplished, and genuinely inspired by the women around you.
One-on-One Training: Personalized Strength
Prefer a more individualized approach? 1:1 personal training lets me focus entirely on you—your goals, your pace, and your unique body. Whether you’re a beginner or have some lifting experience, I’ll design a program that feels challenging, safe, and completely tailored to your needs.
I’m here to support you in whatever goals you may have—and help you set new ones! These goals can be physical body goals, mindset goals, performance-based goals (like, “I want to do a pull-up”), nutrition goals, or a combination of all of the above. Every session is designed to help you make progress, feel confident, and enjoy the journey while knowing you’re fully supported along the way.
