Created by coach and educator Jess Heiss, Sturdy Girl explores what it really means to be strong — inside and out.

Welcome, friends!

For runners, lifters, and everyday humans who want to break free from hustle culture and body obsession.

Xoxo, Jess

I help everyday athletes build strength, run smarter, and feel more at home in their bodies — without obsessing over shrinking them. Around here, sturdy means resilient, confident, and ready for a big, rad life.
