Rucking Women will guide you on your training journey to expertly help you reach your goals. All ages and athleticisms welcome!

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

Hey Hey!

I'M COLLEEN

We have more tech and more knowledge than ever before yet we're sicker than ever before.

The truth is, the fitness and food industries are exactly that....industries, driven by money. New equipment, new supplements, new fads marketed to women to brainwash us into believing we need this "next great thing".

I've been intertwined in these industries since 2000 as an athlete then strength coach. From the millions of words of research I've read and 1000's of hours of continuing education, one thing is clear above all else....

...we must simplify. And be in nature.

And if you don't know how to do that, you're in the right place! The services and products, the podcast and blog posts, are designed to help you get back to simple habits, like rucking (it doesn't get easier than this!) so you can optimize your health, joy, and community!

"I began rucking in early 2023 with zero knowledge and minimal resources. Being part of the [the Beginner's] program has been a game changer. Colleen is an excellent guide in navigating the strength and endurance training space. Her enthusiasm and energy coupled with her fitness training background and nutrition expertise is just what I need to move to a new level. I look forward to the weekly coaching sessions and have learned so much in a short period of time. Thanks Colleen, for being such an amazing resource on all things training and rucking!"

"I never thought I would love this [rucking]. I never imagined this would be my happy place. I never believed how much rucking could help my mental well-being. And yet here I am, living this new truth every day!"
