Wait until the end of the video to see what my next plan is. 👀

I’ve come a long way in my fitness journey. I started weightlifting in my garage in 2022, then joined a gym class close to my home.

I started off awkward, lifting light weights, feeling unconfident, making lots of mistakes, and learning to be patient. What kept me going was staying consistent and not giving up.

When I look back, I remember exactly how shy and embarrassed I felt. But that never stopped me from coming back and trying again to be a little better every day.

There have been a few times in my life when things were tough, but I always found my way back to lifting weights. Last year, I added running to my training and discovered hybrid fitness. Combining strength and endurance has pushed me further than ever before.

I’ve seen myself lift heavier weights, run farther, and grow stronger, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

YES! I am thrilled that my HYROX Dallas 2026 Solo Adaptive Open Women ticket is SECURED! 🎉

This November 2026 will be my BIG test day, and I am READY for it! 💪🔥

Surround yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher. 💪🏽

✨I’m back, but with something new! This account is now public, and you can see my old pictures to get an idea of where I’m coming from.

👉 For a long time, I was determined to stay “niche-free” leaving this account behind to focus everything on one main @estefani.yk account. But over the past year, my fitness journey has grown so much that I’d love to share it. It’s been a struggle to fit it into my other account, which was originally for art and where people follow me for that content—I need to honor that! If I took over my other account with fitness content, my art identity would be lost, and I don’t want that.

Now, with this account, @lifts.w.e, I wanted a name that’s meaningful. It represents ‘uplifts,’ with the ‘w’ standing for with and the ‘e’ for my first name, Estefani, so I didn’t have to spell it out completely. I also love that the username can mean ‘lifts with us,’ which perfectly defines lifts.w.e—it’s about us together.

I want to share my journey, provide information I’ve learned, collaborate, share inspiring quotes, spotlight Deaf and Deaf-friendly fitness content, and so much more—let me bring it all!

Pssssst: if you’ve read all the way down here, my next post will announce that I’m participating in a HYROX race. Stay tuned! 😉😉

The Outlast photos are finally in, and wow… these brought me right back to that night.

It felt like so much more than just a race. It tested my body, my mental strength, and how far I was willing to keep pushing when I was tired and uncomfortable.

First photo: I think I was on my 4th round.

Second photo: right after finishing my 6th round… basically “AHHH” and my legs were DONE 😂

Looking back at these photos, I’m proud of what my body and mind were capable of that night. 🔥

I get this question often: “What does my Hyrox sign mean?” and “What do you sign for Hyrox?” There you go!

Again, the page, @hyrox_deaf_community I collaborated with also shares other international signs for Hyrox too.

Sooo about me, now I’m officially in Hyrox season for Dallas, competing Solo in Open Women! 🔥

The last time I did Hyrox was with a doubles partner back in March 2025. WOW, that feels like such a long time ago. I am WAY different now, stronger, more experienced, and I can’t wait to see and share my progress compared to my last Hyrox.

Dallas, here we come! 💪

One week ago today, I completed the hardest race I’ve ever experienced! No kidding! And I’m STILL flying high and thinking about it. I keep looking back like, WOW, I actually OUTLASTED this mofo course!!! 🔥

@runoutlast | Basic rules:

Complete a 5K every hour, on the hour.
Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event.
Finish early? Rest until the next round.
Miss a lap? You’re OUT!
Complete all six rounds? You OUTLAST! 💪

All of us, my friends and coaches, walked away with a big ass medal because WE ALL COMPLETED SIX ROUNDS!!! 🏅🔥

This was my first trail race, and not just that, my first loop challenge too! It was a completely different mindset and challenge. I’m so proud of all my friends and coaches who did it!

We didn’t just walk away with medals. We walked away with memories and achievements we’ll never forget. 🫶🫶

This would’ve never happened if I hadn’t walked into that gym @strengthandenduranceacademy by myself three years ago and met @coachirmalissette and @cpfitness_17 by @lifts.w.e
