The Mutha ship academy is a unique platform by Strong Like a Mutha, offering education for coaches that empowers them to level up their offering, provide inclusive services, and fearlessly advocate for women in the fitness industry.

We also provide supportive workshops, courses, and training programs for prenatal, postnatal, menstruating, and menopausal people who are keen to know more about building a sustainable, supportive, and life-changing relationship with exercise that takes into consideration their unique experience.


Community, Integrity, Passion are our core values

Our goal is to empower, educate and inspire and our people are at the heart of everything we do.





"I believe exercise is for everyone and for too long our industry has been an intimidating and exclusive place for all humans, I want to change that and build an industry that is educated, empowered, and equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools to allow all humans to access the life-changing benefits of strength training."


Why we are here

Hello! I am Lyndsey and I am an Empowerment Coach who specializes in strength training, health, and well-being for women. I have been coaching women for 17 years and supporting Pre and Postnatal people for 7 of those. I started my business because I felt let down by the fitness industry, the lack of education and understanding of my unique needs often led me to engage in things that were damaging to my physical and mental well-being, and as a result, I had a very toxic relationship with exercise. The birth of my son prompted me to look for something that allowed me to be an athlete as well as a mother and when I couldn’t find it- I decided to build it. Fast forward 7 years and I am now the owner of Glasgow’s go-to gym for pre and postnatal education and women’s well-being- Strong Like a Mutha or SLAM for short.

After hearing stories from my members of how left out they had felt by the fitness industry and how after joining SLAM, they were able to build sustainable and healthy relationships with their bodies and minds, I knew that I wanted to share my education and experience with other coaches, 2 years ago I launched The Mutha Ship Academy with our education course Beyond the Qualification, my aim was to help empower and educate coaches to better serve women in the fitness industry and in a short period of time we have now supported over 50 coaches and gyms as well as providing education for prenatal, postnatal, menstruating and menopausal people.
