Heading into deload week now. I’ve been doing each of Cheryl’s challenges and each one enforces I can gain strength and muscle without being in a gym and without fancy equipment. Dumbbells are my friend😁

I’m finishing up week 4 of the Compound effect and have loved it!! Thank you. Have already purchased the next workout with Cheryl! Can’t wait to keep going!

This workout is challenging yet easy to follow and takes just the right amount of time. I can’t believe how much change I am seeing in my muscle tone in just six weeks! I can’t wait for the next challenge! If your debating on try this, don’t! It’s amazing! Just do it!

This is my first challenge with Cheryl and I will forever call her Cee. Ive been working out with Cheryls videos for about 2 years, and faithfully I must say. This challenge "lifted" me to another level with the daily coaching emails and inspiration from the community. I really enjoyed it. Not sure if I'm going to see anything different in 6 weeks but I'm consistent and only competing against myself at this point. I know everything is up to me to make that difference. Love the information. Love the format and love the professionalism. Love you Cee!

Μου άρεσε το κίνητρο που δίνει αυτή η ομάδα. Με παρακινεί και με κινητοποιεί κάθε ημέρα, μου δίνει σκοπό και στόχο να προσπαθώ για το καλύτερο. Αισθάνομαι πολύ τυχερή.

Absolutely incredible.

I love the community and workouts Cheryl has built. While at times it can feel repetitive, I appreciate the fact that we can track our weights and try to improve upon reps or weights for each workout. I have really enjoyed my experience in this challenge and am lifting heavier than I thought I could!

Cheryl’s program teaches you all about consistency. You do the hard work , you get the results!

I am 53 years young, worked out for most of my life (until I didn’t ) . Decided to choose my hard 1. Wake up everyday , tired ,clothes not fitting and doing nothing about it or 2. Quit making excuses and show up for myself - eat in a calorie deficit and move my body . I was 8 weeks into my journey when I decided to join the Compound Challenge . Best decision ever, I can honestly say I didn’t miss one workout . It gave me a blueprint for success, with real results in a short time . My son gets married on Oct 12 and I feel better about showing my arms in my dress. I’m excited to start the next challenge and continue my journey to getting fit . Thanks Cheryl for the motivation, tough love and inspiration 🤗

Love love love Cheryl’s programs!!! Can’t wait to start my fourth one. The value of what you get in each session can’t be matched, from her program design to her expert advice to the incredibly enthusiastic and supportive community.

I started doing Cee Lifts last year and jumped at the opportunity to participate in these programs. This is my third! Cheryl is such an excellent and down to earth instructor with a realistic and powerful skill set that is guaranteed to success. She has assisted me in making strength training an atomic habit that sustains my health and attitude. Overcoming post menopausal osteoarthritis has been such a challenge and mobility and strength are golden. Thank you Cheryl. Abundant blessings to you!

I’m so happy I found Cheryl on YouTube then Instagram. I joined my first challenge The Compound Effect and it’s truly been life changing. In just 5 weeks I have lost a total of 5 pounds and I can see the definition in my arms and legs. I’ve always been active, working out 5 days a week but following this program has been a game changer. The full body workouts 3 days a week has given me more results than working out 5 days. I also take inspiration from the Solin meal plan. I haven’t purchased it but you can plug in a food and it gives you a high protein recipe. I am excited to see where this challenge takes me and I’ve already purchased the next one beginning in October. 10 stars!

This is my second 6 weeks challenge with Cheryl and the results have been so amazing that I’m still shocked by what I see in the mirror. I have just bought my 3rd challenge. I love the community here too, they are so very supportive and welcoming.

I love the structure of this program and the emphasis on customizing each maximum lift to the individual. I trust the experience, science, and passion that Cheryl designs into her programs. If you put in the time, your results will speak for themselves!!

This is the only program I’ve ever stayed consistent with. I started with the YT 20 minute workouts after covid and from there built confidence form and consistency/habit, and then got hooked. These challenges however were the game changer. They help you get to ‘progressive overload’ in a self paced but very supportive safe space to do you and do just 1% better than last time! Cheryl’s approach and real-ness makes everything feel doable no matter how busy your schedule the workouts are challenging enough yet chill so you don’t feel that pressure to perform and the women on the group are amazing we feel we’re all in the same boat and genuinely push each other through ups and downs of those tough ‘lunges’ and life! Highly recommend

I love the format and Cheryl’s cues. I know which muscle I’m working and can focus on it while lifting the weight. The community of women is amazing. So encouraging and willing to share their tips and experiences. This will be my sixth of many more challenges.

I’m genuinely surprised at the results. I’ve been lifting for years, and this program has made me realise I’ve been over training, leading to little to no results. I’ve seen more results in 6 weeks, doing less, than I have in the last 12-24 months. It’s kinda crazy. I’m eating less, because I’m less hungry and not having binges at the end of the week because I’m so hungry from over training.

Absolutely love this program! Cheryl is amazing !! This program has helped me be disciplined with my exercise and diet! Ready for the next challenge!

This was my 4th Challenge and I won’t be stopping, it’s simply going to be my future! My fitness! At 59 I have never felt stronger & more focused! my nutrition is better than ever ( I also made one off purchase on Solin app for nutrition) Cheryl is an amazing coach & the app provides a simple and effective way to view, log and maximise your progress. I can’t say enough positives about my experience so far and the genuine knowledge I have gained & finally an online community that keeps you focused & supported because we are ALL experiencing the transformation that strength training combined with nutrition brings!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I’ll be honest — I was a little skeptical at first. Three full-body days a week? Only three workouts? I had never really trained like that before, and I wasn’t sure it would deliver results. But after following Cheryl for a while and seeing the incredible transformations other women were having, I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. Coming off a long-term injury, I knew I needed something that allowed for rest and recovery while still challenging me. This program has been exactly that — three solid workouts a week, the right amount of recovery in between, and the freedom to go at my own pace without overdoing it. I haven’t even finished week five yet (there’s one more to go!) and my results have already been amazing. Pairing the workouts with my nutrition has made all the difference, and I’ve already signed up for the next round. The group support is incredible — fun, encouraging, and refreshingly not on Facebook. Cheryl’s demonstrations are clear and easy to follow, and even as a seasoned lifter, I’ve found there’s always room to improve. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. You won’t regret it.

I’m loving the set up! No thinking about what exercises I should do. Cheryl has it all laid out. Not sure if the timed session is new or I just totally missed it last challenge but I do like that feature. Pushing to 1% better is such a personal push forward. Just signed up for my third program!

I enjoyed the challenge by Cheryl, I have been following along on insta and YouTube for 12 months, but having a challenge to follow provided more structure and motivation! Love Cheryl’s programs

I wanted to be get back to lifting regularly with a program and like minded people. I love this group and the way the program is structured. It’s what I needed!! I am finishing my second challenge and people are noticing my arms. Love it.

Fantastic Program and Amazing Community all lead by the Extraordinary Coach Cheryl! It’s a different process to what I’ve followed in the past, but if you’re committed, it works! Cheryl has a wealth of knowledge and she is a straight talker. No more second guessing when you’ve got Cheryl in your corner!

This is my 2nd challenge with Cheryl. Absolutely love her programming and her coaching, interaction and support in the Community. I’m hooked! Highly recommend, excellent programming!

Things I love about The Compound Effect: 1) IT WORKS. I went from a wary skeptic with consistency and motivation issues to a die hard fan who will never look back. 2) The community!! Seriously, it makes such a huge difference to connect with, be encouraged, cheer on others and celebrate wins. Seriously. I’ve never experienced a community like this in a challenge before. 3) The app is so easy to use and makes every workout super easy. If I forget what I’m doing or need to remember form, I simply watch the quick video provided and get to it. Don’t hesitate - just do it, you won’t regret it!!

This is my second challenge and I am so pleased with the changes I'm seeing and feeling. The Community is such a wonderful group of knowledge, questioning, supporting and caring like-minded women (no doubt men too!). It's my safe & judgement free space. Thank you Cheryl. I am SO glad I found you. Sign up for the next Challenge? Absolutely!

Cheryl has a great way of programming exercises that are challenging yet comfortable to do at home. Her knowledge and motivation no doubt carry over in to her programs and the community. I have had a wonderful experience with the two challenges I have done and I just signed up for a third. If you listen, work hard and have a can do mindset you will see results!

Although not directly one on one training, Cheryl makes each move understandable. She continually addresses question in either the community group, or in her IG & YT formats as well. You won’t be sorry you invested in yourself.

3 days a week of lifting with 30 min walk daily I am beginning to see muscle in my arms, legs I haven't seen in years...actually thought at 63y/o I would never see them again. I think I'm hooked on Cee and her workouts Keep the challenges coming Btw I work full time and this program was easy to fit into my busy weeks

I love the six week format that is divided up into three two week segments. Do the same exercises six times and then you move on to the next. This really helped me focus on form and really just completing the set. I get so bogged down with, "what am I going to do today? And how many do I need to do with this and I haven't done that in a while." This is a great road map for working the entire body. I have been sore this entire time. LOL. The second best thing about this is the community!! Cheryl comes in with her encouragement, optimism, wisdom, tips Etc. And everyone else that's in this challenge comments and lifts you up and keeps you going even if you don't feel like it. I absolutely love this and cannot say enough good things about it. ❤️

I am still working through the 6 week program. I am enjoying it. I would have like to have one more superset on each day of weights.

Because it’s only heavy lifting 3x per week, I’m able to give it my all on weight lifting days. I’ve done 4 lifting sessions so far and I can see my little muscles poking through. I’m 5’5” and about 137 pounds. I decided to do this program because I appreciate CeCe’s story and because I haven’t had success on my own. I’ve officially entered into post menopause and with my hormones crashing for the past few years, it’s been unusually difficult to keep my muscle tone. So far this seems to do the trick. On off days I do a fat burning cardio and the vibration plates to stimulate osteoblasts. Fat burning cardio is rather easy on the stair stepper.

I wasn’t sure I’d like doing a program that wasn’t follow along workouts, but wow!! I am pushing myself more than I ever did before 💪🏻💪🏻and absolutely loving it ❤️

This my fourth challenge with Cheryl and I can honestly say I've NEVER been stronger in my life and I'll be turning 60 this month! I've never stuck with anything for this long. I actually look forward to the workouts. Although there are days when I drag myself to get started, I am always so glad when I am done. I have not missed a single workout in almost 7 months. I can rearrange workouts and rest days to accomodate life-ing so that I can make this commitment to my health. Cheryl and the community in these challenges are so supportive and inspiring that I will sign up for any and all future challenges without question. Thank you Cheryl, for creating this wonderful content for all of us...the younger, the older and everyone in between!

To say that I am eternally grateful for Cheryl and her programs is an understatement. I found her on you tube and instagram and have not looked back since. Her videos saved me from the depths of menopause and have given me a new lease on my physical and mental health. Thank you, Cheryl, for all the programs, advice and hope!

Cheryl is an amazing trainer and motivator. The program is well-designed and organized. It's simple to follow and also challenging. I definitely recommend both Cheryl and The Compound Effect.

I'm on week 4 of my fourth challenge with Cheryl. That I've stuck with her all this time says a lot. I feel stronger and more toned and being able to track my progress in the app is a real motivator. (I worked out with Cheryl for about 2 year previously on YouTube. This program is a real enhancement.) I've come to depend on the challenges and hope they will continue.

I like Cheryl’s honest quiet approach. She makes it easy. She make makes me want to finish for myself, and I always feel fantastic when I finish.

These are very well structured exercise programs. Cheryl offers frequent support and solid science backed advice for gaining strength and helping with body recomposition. The community here is also very active, supportive and kind. If you're tired of not seeing results from following random workouts and are confused about nutrition, don't hesitate to sign up with lift with Cee! There are a few warm-up videos on Cheryl's YouTube channel, but I'd be cool if warm-up videos could be integrated into the app.

I like everything, but will suggest the option to add more than 3 sets as optional, Thanks

This is my fifth session and I’m loving it! I appreciate the clear direction and example videos. While I have enjoyed your YouTube videos, the Solin sessions are even better. Feeling stronger each week!

Love this program. Reasonable price and effective.

This is a great program for women to get onboard a real workout plan with targeted exercises. Cheryl interacts with the whole group and provides useful information about what we’re actually doing. The cheerleading from your fellow participants also makes for a great experience.

I don't share my story, but I love Cheryl and the way she helps us build our lives through better eating and improved exercise. I have improved, but I have a long ways to go.
