Real training. Real women. Real results.
Where Strength and Connection Meet.
We're The Right FIT IF...
The Bell Bar is a small, supportive strength training space for women in Alexandria, MN.
Training at The Bell Bar begins with a 60-minute 1:1 Start-Up Session to get to know you, your goals, and how your body moves. From there, you’ll move into semi-private or small group training — whichever feels like the best fit. Details on each option are outlined below.
With 13 years in fitness, I help you build strength that powers your life—so you can show up strong for yourself and those you love.
Programming tailored to your goals, pace, and needs, with expert eyes on form and progress every step of the way.
Individualized coaching in a focused, supportive setting — just you and up to two other clients.
Semi-Private
We move with purpose. You'll get a feel for The Bell Bar style with a full-body session using foundational movements, plus a clear plan for what’s next.
I assess and address. A movement screen helps identify how your body moves and what it needs — laying the groundwork for safe, effective training.
I get to know you. We’ll talk through your background, movement experience, current needs, and goals so I can support you with intention.
Start-Up Session
Everyone follows the same thoughtfully designed program, with person-specific cues and coaching to support your form, pace, and progress.
Strength-focused sessions in a close-knit group — capped for connection, accountability, and plenty of personal attention.
Small Group

I know what it’s like to feel unsure in your own body—to wonder if you're doing more harm than good, or if the discomfort you’re feeling is just something you’re supposed to push through. That’s exactly why my approach is different. It’s not about pushing harder—it’s about moving smarter. I blend science, experience, and empathy to create coaching that’s tailored to your body, your season of life, and your goals. Whether you’re rebuilding after kids, navigating new aches, or simply want to feel stronger and more capable day to day—you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s build strength that actually supports you, from the inside out.
I don’t just teach this—I’ve lived it. And I’ve helped women like you feel strong and at home in their bodies again.

"If someone asked me if I'd recommend Holea, I'd say-without hesitation-YES. My posture, mental health, and strength have all improved. Honestly, my life is insurmountably better since I started training with her."
— Diane, Online Training Client
“I love that you taught me to stack my rib cage above my hips. It has made a huge difference in taking pressure off my lower back, better posture, and just FEELS so good! THANK YOU!”
