Where exercise becomes therapy for the body, mind & soul.
We know you’re not looking for another gym. Been there, done that.
You're ready to feel strong, confident, and connected in your body again.
At StrongSelves, we partner with women 35+ to improve their strength, health, confidence, and connection to themselves through a holistic approach to movement, nutrition, mindset, and recovery.
FINALLY, NO MORE GUESSING!
You feel stuck in your body.
You know you want to feel stronger, leaner, more energized… but nothing you’ve tried has actually lasted—and you don’t know what to trust anymore.
You’re juggling too much.
Between work, family, hormones shifting, and putting everyone else first, your own health keeps falling to the bottom of the list—and you’re exhausted.
You’re starting to question yourself.
Why does this feel harder than it used to?
Why isn’t your body responding the same way?
You wonder if maybe it’s just your age… or if something’s wrong.
You’re tired of doing this alone.
You don’t need another workout plan.
You need guidance, accountability, education and a space where women like you are supported, understood, and actually making real, lasting progress that lasts a lifetime.
who we are
A SAFE space FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN
StrongSelves is the only women’s-only boutique fitness and personal development studio for women in the Grand Strand, SC.
It was created by Amanda Matos—a woman 35+, mother of two—who was searching for a more intentional, sustainable approach to strength, health, and lifestyle.
By combining her background as a National Athletic Trainer, mind-body connection specialist, pelvic floor coach, and life coach, Amanda created a system specifically designed for women over 35 who know that feeling good in their bodies requires more than just workouts and restriction.
Our team of female coaches guide you to reconnect, rebuild, and feel fully at home in your body again
at any age.
what we do
We don’t just train your body. We are not a gym.
We help women transform their body and their lives through the alignment of four pillars:
functional Fitness that builds your strength and resilient body.
Recovery that Supports your nervous system and hormonal health.
Nutrition that Fuels your body for energy, metabolism, and longevity.
Mindset that Rebuilds your confidence, identity, and self-trust.
When these four pillars align, women don't just transform they thrive.
IT'S NOT ABOUT CORRECTION - IT'S ABOUT RE-CONNECTION
Years of stress, responsibilities, pregnancy, injuries, dieting cycles, and putting everyone else first can disconnect a woman from her body.
And when that connection is lost, no amount of discipline, restriction, or punishment will create lasting change.
That’s where most gyms get it wrong.
They focus on fixing your body.
We focus on helping you feel at home in it again.
Because real transformation doesn’t happen when you push harder.
It happens when your body feels safe enough to change.
That’s why everything we do at Strongselves is designed to help you reconnect, regulate, and rebuild — from the inside out.

four ways to reconnect
Everything you need. in one place. already built in.

We don’t work with women looking for a quick fix or a temporary “summer body.”

"The family at StrongSelves worked with me through a tough transition period in my life supporting me always both physically and emotionally with their amazing programs and sense of inclusion. This is much more than a ‘gym’ or a ‘workout’ this is a full fledged, woman-centered, supportive community! While you will sweat here, they will also help you explore your WHY and help you make a roadmap to support your why which will anchor you to making life changes that will take you into a new way of doing you. Highly recommended, wonderful trainers and great support!
