Top-rated personal training studio 2PiFit in Wadsworth is expanding its impact in a meaningful new way. Known for helping women over 40 reclaim their strength, confidence and vitality through a holistic, results-driven approach, the locally owned gym is now channeling that same philosophy toward a younger audience. With the launch of its STRONGHER Program, 2PiFit is investing in the next generation of female athletes.
Owner and lead trainer Celena Darrah recently introduced STRONGHER with a clear vision: to give middle and high school–aged girls access to the kind of education and support that often comes much later in life, if at all. The program goes far beyond the basics of workouts and conditioning. Instead, it provides a well-rounded foundation that includes proper strength training techniques, nutrition guidance, injury prevention strategies and mental resilience.
“We’re focused on supporting young girls in every aspect of their development — not just strength and conditioning," says Celena. "The program is designed to teach them how to fuel their bodies, prevent injuries and build confidence in the gym and beyond.”
That comprehensive approach is intentional. In a culture where young athletes can feel pressure to specialize early or push their limits without proper guidance, STRONGHER offers a balanced alternative — one that prioritizes longevity, self-awareness and sustainable progress. Participants learn how to listen to their bodies, understand the importance of recovery and build habits that will support them well beyond their school sports years.
Another defining feature of STRONGHER is its accessibility. The program is designed for both seasoned athletes and girls who are completely new to the gym environment. Some participants come in looking to enhance sport-specific performance, with goals of competing at the collegiate level. Others are simply curious about getting stronger and more confident in their bodies. Regardless of their starting point, each girl receives the same level of attention, encouragement and individualized guidance.
“Some of the girls in the program are already involved in sports and want to develop their skills further,” Celena explains. “Others are just beginning their fitness journey. What’s important is that they all feel supported, challenged and empowered in a way that meets them where they are.”
Training sessions take place twice a week under the guidance of Coach Caylee, a former Division I soccer player and exercise science graduate who brings both technical expertise and firsthand athletic experience to the program. Her background allows her to connect with participants on multiple levels, offering insight not only into physical training but also into the mindset required to grow as an athlete.
In addition to regular sessions, Celena and Caylee occasionally host bonus weekend workshops that dive deeper into topics like nutrition, recovery and injury prevention. These sessions give participants a more complete understanding of how to care for their bodies and optimize their performance in a healthy, sustainable way.
The semi-private training format is another key component of the program’s success. Rather than training alone, participants work out alongside a small group of peers, creating an environment that is both supportive and motivating. Over time, those shared experiences often lead to meaningful friendships.
“By training together, they realize they’re not alone in what they’re learning or working through, and that sense of community makes a big difference," Celena says.
Offered year-round, the STRONGHER Program allows participants to commit to either six- or 12-month sessions, giving them the time and consistency needed to see real progress. More than just a training program, it’s an investment in long-term health, confidence and personal growth — one that equips young women with the tools they need to feel strong in every sense of the word.
