At 27, fitness influencer Britt Lefevre has spent nearly a decade lifting heavy weights, and she has a secret gym thrill, which is teaching men to lift correctly. For her, coaching others isn’t just about technique, but it’s an expression of power and a strong emotional charge.
Britt says she gets a “rush” from telling men how to bend their backs, flex their knees, and squat properly. She knows that proper lifting form protects the body and boosts gains. But she also loves the moment when the men around her realise she truly knows what she’s doing:
“There’s something so satisfying about showing a guy the right form and seeing the shock when he realises I know my stuff… It genuinely turns me on.”
For Britt, helping men lift well is about more than showing off her knowledge:
“It’s more than I like watching their confidence grow because of something I’ve taught them.” She trains hard — at least two hours a day — and eats six meals daily to fuel her strength. That energy and discipline translate into a powerful presence at the gym.
Many of the men she corrects try to flirt with her while pretending to ask for advice, “Half of them end up flirting while pretending they want form advice. I’ll say, ‘You’re bending your back wrong,’ and they’ll reply, ‘Maybe you can show me again, slower.’”
But Britt has no problem with that. She views her strength as both attractive and a test of genuine respect.
Britt believes strength is more attractive than superficial gym selfies. For her, lifting is not about “looking cute,” it’s about power.
“I’m not shy about being a woman who lifts heavy. People underestimate how sexy strength is.”
She jokes that many men tell her she’s “too strong to date.” “If a man can’t handle me in the gym, he definitely can’t handle me outside of it.”
Would she date someone from the gym? Yes — but only if they match her energy. She explained, “If a guy approaches me between sets and actually respects my workout, not just my body, that’s a good start.”
Her standard is high. She knows her way around the gym and expects the same level of dedication in a partner.
Britt’s not shy about calling out bad lifting habits. She has a warning for men who lift just to brag, “Stop ego-lifting. Focus on control, not clout. You’ll impress me way more by doing it right than by grunting through bad reps.”
For her, technique and respect matter more than loud grunts or heavy weights.
The gym has always been a second home for Britt — a place where she heals, grows, and inspires.
“The gym has always been my therapy,” she says, and if she can teach or humble a few guys along the way, that’s a bonus.
