Redefining Strength Podcast
The Redefining Strength Podcast isn’t just about workouts or weight loss...it’s about redefining what strong really means, at every age and stage of life.
Hosted by Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, this show helps women build lasting strength through smart training, sustainable nutrition, and mindset shifts that stick...without crash diets, fads, or the toxic noise of “fitness culture.”
Over the past decade, Redefining Strength has helped more than 10,000 women transform their health using Cori’s signature coaching method, The STRONG System — a science-backed, habit-driven approach that adapts to your body, your life, and your goals.
Each episode brings real-world insights, expert-backed strategies, and no-BS motivation to help you stop starting over, rebuild confidence, and feel strong inside and out.
If you’ve tried every plan that wasn’t built for this version of you… this is the one that finally fits.
Because strength isn’t about doing more...it’s about doing what works For you.
