About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote female weight lifting while empowering women to feel strong and beautiful in a judgment-free community. Founded at San Diego State University in 2020 by students with a passion for fitness, Girl Gains was created to provide women of all backgrounds and fitness levels with community, resources and confidence.

Meet the Founders

Elisabeth Bradley

Chief Executive Officer

Elisabeth is a pre-med student turned entrepreneur, which was foreshadowed by her dog treat business at age 12. After graduating from SDSU, she turned Girl Gains from a passion project into her full-time mission, connecting women to weightlifting. When she's not group coaching or growing Girl Gains, you'll find her reading or sharing things that inspire her on her podcast.

Jocelyn Martinez

Chief Operations Officer

Jocelyn is a wellness-loving, travel-obsessed foodie who’s all about embracing her curly girl lifestyle. If you don’t find Jocelyn in the weight room, she’s usually at a coffee shop sipping an iced matcha latte, planning the next aesthetic restaurant she wants to try while scrolling through Pinterest.
