From Pain to Performance
My Journey to Helping Everyday Athletes Train Smarter & Move Pain-Free
Growing up as a competitive swimmer, I was built with a drive to challenge my mind and body in unique ways. Starting at age six, I learned how hard work and consistency could help me reach my goals. Simultaneously, I also learned how often athletes are taught to ignore anxiety, push through pain and put performance above everything else.
At the age of 12, I was experiencing shoulder pain and learned I had developed swimmer’s shoulder, a common overuse injury amongst swimmers. I had a choice: keep swimming and experience pain for the rest of my life or take a break and focus on healing. I chose the latter and that decision shaped the way I think about training today.

Fitness is about gaining strength, challenging your body and mind and finding balance in your daily life.
When I returned to swimming in high school, I started strength training recreationally and found a new outlet through movement. But like many athletes, I still dealt with chronic pain – thanks to whiplash – but I kept pushing through.
In college, I took my fitness routine up a notch. Working at the gym on campus and lifting two hours a day, I fell in love with strength training and thought I was learning the dos and don’ts of the gym and lifting. However, I was under-eating, depriving myself of carbs, developing chronic pain and so much more. Without realizing it, I became consumed by my fitness routine in unhealthy ways.
Everything changed when I moved to Colorado and started working with a personal trainer who helped me shift my mindset. From that experience, I learned how to train smarter, recover properly and move without pain. That one-on-one guidance changed everything.
It wasn’t long before I signed up for my first sprint triathlon – something that I once thought was impossible. I fell back in love with swimming, found joy in running and got back on a bike for the first time in six years. The process reminded me why I started: not to look a certain way but to feel strong, energized and confident in what my mind and body are capable of.

Let’s Work Together!
You don’t have to be extreme to be consistent. And you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re ready to level up your training, build strength and confidence, or finally train without pain, I’d love to be your coach.



Why I Coach
Now, I’m a certified personal trainer, runner, swimmer, weightlifter, plant-based eater, climber and nutrition coach. I help everyday athletes build strength, prevent injury and improve performance through personalized online coaching.
My approach is holistic and inclusive. I know what it’s like to feel stuck in your training, deal with injuries or have no idea what the “right” workout should be. That’s why I take the guesswork out of your training and give you the structure, support and accountability you need to move forward – pain free and with confidence.
Outside the Gym
When I’m not coaching or working out, you can find me cooking, reading. Listening to music or podcasts, gathering with friends, exploring the outdoors and so much more. I believe movement should enhance your life, not consume it.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Molly really helped me build new habits and turn my personal fitness and health around. Our discussions around nutrition helped me really be objective with what habits needed to change. I have more energy now, and I don't feel like I'm always defaulting to unhealthy habits when I'm stressed. I feel more equipped to make better choices for my own health now. Robert Bogan17/03/2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Molly is amazing! No judgement, no pressure. Just patient encouragement and teaching. I needed something to revitalize my body. I felt weak and lethargic. We decided to focus on nutrition and Molly helped me learn how to approach my food from a new angle. She taught me more about "eating a balanced diet" than any other blog post, YouTuber, or book I have ever read. We got my meals more dialed in, changed the different components so I had the right portions of protein, carbs and fats. I feel SO DIFFERENT! I have so much more energy and my health is improving. You truly are what you eat. THANK YOU MOLLY!!! Rachel Bastarache Bogan09/03/2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Molly is a wonderful trainer.

Molly was very good about taking the time to fully understand my goals, and how to make them achievable with my schedule. She helped me with both a basic nutrition plan and a workout routine based around how much time I wanted to put in at the gym every week. Working with her did help me reach my goals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for new structure in working on their health. Christine Prothe27/01/2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Molly is wonderful. She is very down-to-earth and is super knowledgeable about health and fitness. She was a swim coach of mine at CU Denver. She always shared new and exciting dry-land workouts and swim sets that didn’t get boring. She always pushed us to our limits and helped us to grow. She really cares about overall well-being. It was never just about one specific thing, but she always encouraged a good balance of physical and mental health which includes challenging workouts, healthy meal plans, and rest to regenerate your energy. She creates an environment that is very inclusive of all walks of life. Molly is the go-to trainer! Abigail Votava11/12/2020
