I first visited Brooklyn Strength at the original Columbia Place location in 2015. I sought Cadence's help with anxiety that was consistently at a panic level. She taught me that hunger is not a sign of failure, but a normal, healthy signal that we should pay attention to. She taught me that nutrition isn't nearly as complicated as trends would lead us to think, and that our bodies thank us when we feed them adequately. When I moved to Vermont a few years ago, one of the things I missed about the city was my regular Wednesday night Strength & Contrology class with Cadence. Now, thanks to the mixed blessing of COVID, I can join her classes online! Rather than making you toned (which I now know thanks to her podcast was made up by the fitness and diet industry because women aren't supposed to be strong), Cadence focuses on what I would describe as physical intelligence. Strength, for sure, but also proprioception, balance, body awareness, and mobility. Her classes are unlike any that I've taken, and I recommend them to anyone who wants to connect with and learn about their body! – Sarah

Brooklyn Strength's Strength and Contrology class has been such a bright light, in recent times. A challenging and fun class of kettlebells, strength and the occasional ground rolling. Cadence's teaching style is welcoming and non-intimidating - lots of support and feedback throughout class. She goes through every move and makes sure that we understand them. If you're new to kettlebells, don't worry - they offer a beginners series too. Kettlebells are fun - you'll have a swingin' good time! – Rizie

I asked Cadence to make me strong enough to take gymnastics classes without breaking my 40+ year-old body. She approached my 1:1 training sessions with so much enthusiasm - creating exercises that strengthened my wrists & shoulders, expanded my range of motion, and grew the self-confidence I needed to tumble again! Thanks to Cadence, this grown up is flipping and feeling like a kid again! – Amy
