#240 Colleen Conlon – From Skinny to Strong

Meet Colleen Conlon

Colleen got started in the fitness industry back in 2013. Her fitness advice has been featured in New York Post, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan and more. She has been a featured trainer in virtual platforms such as Daily Burn and EqxPlus.

In addition to kettlebells, she has a background in yoga, indoor cycling, and three dimensional functional strength training.

In 2021 she set the world record for Heaviest Weight Lifted in 1 hour by Turkish Get Up (by female). Later that same year she then beat it! She has a passion for both strength + endurance challenges.

When the pandemic hit back in 2020, she pivoted her whole business online. In her first year as a virtual kettlebell coach she has taught 100+ students to safely use kettlebells and perform skills such as swings, cleans, and snatches.

An eating disorder survivor, Colleen owes much of what has helped her overcome adversity in her life to learning the “hardstyle” kettlebell technique. It is her mission to support other women in overcoming their own challenges and feeling strong and fierce through this same discipline.

You’ll most likely hear her quote, “Find Your Fierce.” Which is a notion to help women overcome self limiting beliefs by feeling strong because every woman deserves to feel like she is strong, smart, and capable to go after whatever she desires. Through the power of community, education, and elevating progress over perfection, we are able to spark belief in every woman that, “YES.SHE.CAN!”
