STRONG WOMAN ERA!

Saffron Hooton used to feel overwhelmed and intimidated at the gym; something many women feel. Fast forward to now… and she is the author of Strong Woman Era, a bold book to help women tap into their mental and physical strength through the practice of weight training. She is a health and wellness content creator, a qualified fitness instructor and a Women’s Best Athlete.

Through the practice of lifting weights, she realised she was more capable than she ever thought, stronger than she ever imagined, and deserving of her own love, attention, and energy.

Saffron was prevented by this feeling of discomfort and the barriers she felt were in place, before growing more confident with training in a gym. Saffron’s aim is to empower other women to confidently enter the gym and allow themselves to take up space! Many women can feel intimidated, especially in the free-weights section of the gym.

I asked Saffron if she trains for mental benefits as apposed to physical/aesthetic reasons.

“For me, I train to improve how I feel, rather than change what I look like. I work out to support both my mental and physical health – I find this approach more sustainable and fulfilling. My goals are performance based, such as lifting a certain weight, because this is what makes me feel my strongest, inside and out. I believe movement makes energy and movement sparks joy.”

Saffron wrote this book for women who are curious about learning to lift weights, women who want to improve their relationship with exercise, and women who are ready to achieve their fitness goals and become their best selves.

“I want women to feel empowered by what they read in this book and excited about their fitness journey. Strong Woman Era is a supportive companion, that girl in your corner, cheering you on and telling you you’re stronger than you know.”

This book has loads of tips like – ‘Gym Lingo’! Very useful. Also it’s so accessible – you can pick it up and put it down and be constantly inspired! Full of empowering affirmations, it’s staying on my kitchen shelf 🙂
