About Wendy Winks

Wendy discovered the “Power of 10” workout 20 years ago after seeing Leslie Stahl and Barbara Walters cover it on 48 Hours. Her first movie for the Hallmark Channel, Santa Jr., had aired just one year earlier, and she was busy prepping her next film for production. A 30-minute weekly workout – high-intensity, super-slow – sounded perfect, and she found a Super-Slow trainer in West Los Angeles.

A busy film producer at the time, Super-Slow kept her challenged and in shape during the next fifteen years – through the production of three more films (Dog Gone, Hunter’s Moon, and Camp Rock for the Disney Channel), the 2007 writer’s strike, her job running five Schools of Rock in So Cal, and founding a charity for kid’s music education called the Rock School Scholarship Fund. Her jobs changed, but she loved High-Intensity Weight Training, and that was always a constant.

In 2017, she moved to Idyllwild and became the head of Marketing for Idyllwild Arts Academy & Summer Program, and she searched the area for a new personal trainer. There were no HIT (High-Intensity Training) Studios nearby, and with no workouts, her left hip started to really bother her. She was scheduled for hip surgery until she found Lisa May opening The Strength Code HIT Studio in Palm Desert. She became her first client in September 2020, and three years later became Lisa’s first Personal Trainer. But the best part is that her hip has improved to the point that she no longer needs surgery!
