Casey Johnston is a bestselling author, writer, and cultural critic. Her work covers the intersections of a diverse range of topics, including politics, identity, health, technology, power, womanhood, and embodiment, and has earned critical acclaim from numerous outlets.Casey grew up in the Adirondacks, and received her Bachelor's of Science in Applied Physics from the Columbia University engineering school. She has worked in media for 15 years, as a senior tech/science/health editor at The Outline; a senior health/tech editor at the New York Times' Wirecutter; and as the culture editor at Ars Technica. Most recently, she was the editorial director of health and lifestyle coverage at VICE. In 2016, Casey started a science-based column about strength called Ask A Swole Woman, which now lives within her newsletter, She's A Beast. In December 2021, she published LIFTOFF: Couch to Barbell, a book and training program for total lifting beginners who want to feel stronger and build a more meaningful, functional relationship with their bodies. Casey's newest book, A Physical Education, is a journalistic exploration of the wide-ranging history, science, and psychology of strength braided with her personal story of learning to lift weights. It was published in May 2025 by Hachette/Grand Central.
""In a deeper way, though, Johnston thinks building strength is a way to create an entirely different kind of relationship with your body. When tackling some of the thorniest questions in fitness-should I be doing cardio? Should I be eating carbs? What should my body look like?-the answer for Johnston can almost always come from asking ""What would help you get stronger?"" It's the key that opens every door."" - GQ I started LIFTOFF still afraid of the weight section at the gym and discouraged by exercise culture... LIFTOFF helped me feel confident, and I knew my form would keep me safe and strong. Where I've seen the most changes practically are in my day-to-day life. It is easier for me to walk up a hill, to stand up from the ground, or to lift my dog's ridiculous 60lb bag of dog food and carry it down the hall. - Kelsey McKinney, Normal Gossip co-host, Defector co-founder and writer [My partner] and I bought/did LIFTOFF based on [Casey's] appearance on Chris' Hayes' podcast and holy shit... improved our lives tremendously. -DC Pierson, comedian, author, and actor I signed up for Casey Johnston's LIFTOFF program (it's very good by the way) and today is the THE FIRST GD DAY, and some nosy man came over to correct my form (I DIDN'T NEED IT) and I yelled at him which he accepted so now I have a new gym friend who is afraid of me. LIFTOFF works! -Scaachi Koul, author and cultural critic
