About the Author

Born and raised in Surrey, Laura Hoggins developed her passion for lifting after discovering a CrossFit box in Hammersmith over three years ago. Inspired by the community of individuals whose priority was athletics and not their aesthetic, Laura quit her office job and moved into fitness full time. Now a fully trained fitness coach and personal trainer, Laura runs her own concept class, LIFTED, at the Ministry of Sound Fitness. Laura has over 18,500 Instagram followers and has worked with British Women's Lifting, Women in Sport and This Girl Can to spread a campaign that she supports that 'strong is not a size'. Runner-up in Men's Health Gym Awards '18 for Smartest Coach and a regular contributor to Woman's Health, Metro and Health & Fitness Magazine, Laura speaks on podcasts, at festivals and events across the country and is the female face celebrating lifting in the UK. She recently launched her own podcast, Biceps & Banter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifiting, positive, encouraging and funny, Laura's star qualities shine through.

I started following Laura on instagram based on a recommendation. Life changing. After years of thinking I needed to punish myself with untold amounts of cardio so that I didn't "get too bulky" and lost some weight, I found myself trying out my local CrossFit gym and discovering olympic lifting. I wouldn't have got there before I started following Laura. From dispelling myths about women who lift, to generally speaking sense about body confidence, body positivity and self esteem and championing yourself Laura's book, posts and podcasts are informative, fun and inspiring. She is a great advocate of moving and finding the thing that you love, so even if you are sure that weightlifting is not for you the book is still a very worthwhile read.
I am now the fittest, healthiest and happiest I have been as an adult, and Laura has played an important part in that journey through her excellent content.
P.S. I even find traditional cardio more enjoyable now that I am stronger. ;)

I have hated the gym all my adult life and it has taken me all of this year to get over myself and my made up fears. After only being in the gym a few months these fears were starting to creep back in and after speaking to my PT we changed my programme to be more weight based at the same time I came across Laura on a podcast with Ben Coober and she was saying all the things that I have been hearing in my head and more importantly she was saying how she got herself over it. Her book is amazing and her honesty is so refreshing, the Ten Commandments are now my screen cover and this week is the first time I have arrived in the gym without having to go to the loo first!!!
Thank you for releasing your story Laura and I hope one day to meet you and hopefully get to train with you. Keep pushing :-)

I have to admit I'm a massive fan of this lady and the moment I saw she had a book coming out I jumped on the pre order. The book is fab, it's a real insight to someone else's mind and their relationship with food and exercise. It's great to read that I'm not the only one with these thoughts and feelings. Realistically I've just begun my journey in the gym but this book is a good little guide for all parts of your journey. Relatable and understandable, all in all a fab little read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but for beginners

The book is well written and gives a good overview for beginners to fitness. It is also inspirational and Laura’s story and principles are great. But it is less helpful for women who are already training and feeling confident. I would love to see a follow up book for women already a few years into training including those qualified in fitness. I reckon this is an emerging audience that fitness books could really target and Laura would be a wonderful author for it.

Whether you are new to weight training or have been doing it for a while, this book is well worth reading. It’s written in an approachable style with the clear message “if I can do it, so can you” as well as “get fit and strong for yourself and nobody else”. Laura cuts though a lot of the myths that surround weight-lifting and breaks the whole process of getting started safely down into manageable steps. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
