- If you’re reading this and considering weight training - this is your sign! I have made wonderful friends through Intent and I am so grateful for Ola’s attentiveness, inclusivity, positive energy and thoughtful program.Eleni P.Intent Founding Member
- Intent's classes stand out because of her incredible attention to detail for each participant. She provides us all with our own folder to keep track of our progress.
Her classes have a welcoming vibe and are fun, as well.Nicole P.Member since 2025 - Fast forward to today, and the progress I’ve noticed is incredible. I’ve been consistently attending classes twice a week, and thanks to Ola’s guidance and encouragement, I’ve also started incorporating other healthy habits into my daily routine.Natalia K.Intent Founding Member
- I started working out with Intent in September, looking for a mix of personal attention and small group training. Ola has been amazing- she personalizes each program while keeping the group motivated and focused.Atousa F.Intent Founding Member
- Each class is a group workout that is tailored to the individual person.
Ola cares about each client ensuring that they are moving safely and without pain, providing modifications where necessary.Pam M.Member since 2025 - I was relatively new to strength training and had very little muscle starting off.
Over time, I’ve seen a lot of improvement and progress and that’s also been helping me with my overall health and confidence :) I had a small shoulder problem and Ola gave me different exercises than most of the class.
Also a lovely class if you’re looking for fun, lowkey community!!Zobia A.Intent Member
