New programming is offered every three weeks and can be performed at the gym or at home with limited equipment (Swiss ball, dumbbells/kettlebells, long and short resistance bands). We begin with higher reps to train the mind and muscle connection (tendons and ligaments) to prepare the body for lower reps and heavier loads towards the end of the program. Purchasing this item includes access to Power Happens group resources such as access to previous and future zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Sims and nutrition guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I want beginner the intermediate program?
If you are just beginning your lifting journey or are still working primarily with just dumbbells during the first year strength training, the beginner program is your appropriate for you.
More experienced: If you have a strong and solid foundation with strength training using barbells and machines, and working down in low rep ranges with advanced overload techniques, this program is suitable for you.
How is the program set up?
The workouts are uploaded to the Hailey Happens Fitness app immediately after purchase. The workouts are a do it yourself program where you will be given your sets, reps, and instructions on the program overload methods. You will log the weights you use each week. There are no follow along videos. You will have a video of each exercise, but they do not have instructions that accompany them.
*You do get instructional videos on form and technique in the Learn To Lift course, which is free in my app.

"I was able to bike 26 km today with my oldest in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I even had enough energy that I could have kept going! I haven't done that much since having kids (been 15 years). Thank you Hailey Happens and Dr. Stacy Sims for putting together programs that help us age with strength and ability to live life more fully."

"So grateful for this program and Express. My father fell out of bed last night and could not get up. Thanks to sumo deadlifts I was able to get him off the floor. Thank you Stacy Sims and Hailey Happens Fitness!"

"Hi you strong amazing women! I have just finished PH Int/Ad and I want to say how grateful I am to Hailey Harper Babcock and Stacy Sims for this program! I have been here since the beginning. I had been following Stacy's work so when the PH program with Hailey popped up I thought this is it!! And it has been fantastic. What I have loved:
​
- the increase in upper body strength. I broke my neck in a car accident years ago and have a C6/C7 spinal fusion. I have realised how important having a strong back and shoulders is for supporting my neck. I noticed a significant increase in back and shoulder strength by the end of the program.
​
- the mobility and unilateral work has been incredibly eye opening and beneficial for me. I have only ever really focused on the main big movements but after too many heavy paused deads and squats without adequate recovery last year (thanks to young male coach not aware of importance of rest for perimenopause women or our tendency for joint/tendon injury) I had bad itb syndrome. Not anymore!
​
- the importance of fueling my body while reintroducing high intensity work. After a year of only strength training I was really missing it. This program, with Stacy's fantastic nutrition advice, has allowed me to incorporate HIIT again because I am fueling appropriately.
​
- this community of strong, like minded women supporting each other and lifting each other up. You inspire me so much!"

"I did it! I’ve just finished Power Happens Beginner program and loved it. Thank you so much to Hailey and Stacy for championing women and providing programs and resources that promote health, strength and wellbeing for us. You are changing lives for the better. So happy to belong to this kind, encouraging, positive and inspiring community."
