💪Mission

To empower women in Japan and across the globe to take control of their health, beauty, and strength through evidence-based weight training, mindful nutrition, and a supportive community—leading to a life of confidence, vitality, and rejuvenation.

We believe that sustainable change starts with knowledge and support. That’s why SSJ delivers practical advice, expert-backed content, and a safe space for women who are tired of toxic dieting and misinformation. No more crash diets. No more fear of weights. Just real transformation from the inside out.

🌟Vision

We envision SSJ as the #1 strength training and wellness community for women—starting in Japan, expanding globally.

Our goal is to spark a movement as big as the yoga boom—but this time, with weight training at its core. We want to redefine how women view aging. With the right training and nutrition, the second half of life can be the most powerful, inspiring chapter yet.

🌸Logo

The logo represents the idea of a second chance or a fresh start in life.
Just like spring is a time for renewal, the sakura flower symbolizes new beginnings.

The second sakura flower in the logo is depicted as bigger and more beautiful, representing the experiences and wisdom gained in the first half of our lives. It serves as a reminder that our second chance is even more amazing and beautiful than the first.

The logo encourages us to live an admirable life and embrace the opportunities that come with our second spring.

✨ About the Author: Nadimiko

Founder. Stoic Thinker. Weight Training Enthusiast.

Hi, I’m Nadimiko—Austrian through and through, but living in Japan by choice.
I first came to Japan as a high school student and eventually returned to build a life here. Now, more than 10 years later, I call Japan my second home. I speak three languages, but one passion unites everything I do: helping women rediscover their strength—physically and mentally.

I’m not a personal trainer, but I’m a lifelong student of the gym. Weight training gave me structure, confidence, and the realization that aging doesn’t mean decline—it can mean transformation.
As someone inspired by Stoic philosophy and a deep respect for balance, I created SSJ to bring together women from Japan and around the world who are ready to build a stronger body and mind.

I saw too many amazing women caught in toxic dieting, fear of aging, and limiting beliefs. SSJ is the antidote. A place to grow stronger, more beautiful, and more empowered—together.

Let’s build muscle, mind, and momentum—together.
