About this Event

Join the Women’s Health and Resilience Foundation and Perform Fitness for an empowering, eye‑opening conversation that redefines what sustainable fitness really looks like. This collaborative event breaks down why traditional “no pain, no gain” approaches often fail—and why failure is not your fault.

Together, we’ll explore what your body actually needs to build strength, reduce burnout, and support long‑term health, with a focus on smart, assessment‑informed training that fits real life.

Britt Johnson, Co‑Founder of Perform Fitness and experienced strength and conditioning coach, this session will unpack how consistency, strength training, and stress‑aware programming create lasting results.

Lavette Shirley, PA, Professor and CEO of the Women's Health and Resilience Foundation, will also share a personal story from a medical provider’s perspective—highlighting the cost of working hard but not smart, and what she’s learned about honoring the body in healing and movement.

If you’ve ever felt like fitness “just doesn’t work for you,” this session will show you a better starting point—one that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with confidence, clarity, and support.
