“Stephanie goes out of her way to discuss her clients target goals with them and discern the best route to reach those goals. She offers expert guidance on how to reach a personal achievement, encompassing everything from building of a highly personalized routine covering the ground from diet to building of individually tailored exercise programs. Incredibly friendly and affable personality, making a daunting task of building an exercise ""regime"" into one's life not feel like such a daunting task. She is willing to work with her clients based upon their individual needs and comfort zones. She has a relationship with a number of different smaller private gyms if one feels ""out of sorts"" going to a larger chain gym and getting lost in the mix w/o getting a solid, personal workout. If a client prefers a private work out program making use of park systems and home exercise, she's wiling to do that as well. Making full use of the myriad array of resources available to help someone get on the path to a healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend Stephanie as a personal trainer to anyone who's seeking to get in shape and work with someone who not only has a winning personality, but someone who is highly capable of helping you reach your goals.” ~Kyle B March 30, 2009 Pros: EVERYTHING more

My regular exercises under Stephanie's skilled and watchful eyes have kept me remarkably healthy and strong for someone my age, which is 91. I feel younger than I did when I started with you. I walk briskly, I dance all the time, and I sleep better at night. more

Stephanie is first-rate trainer and a great joy to work with: a lovely, kind, unintimidating, skillful mentor who achieved great results for both me and my wife. We are honored to know and recommend her. more

I trained with Stephanie a few months ago and she was amazing. My body transformed in ways I had never thought possible. She taught me how to maintain my new body as well. more

As a nutrition coach Stephanie is the greatest. She has helped me to realize my goal of losing weight without silly diets. She has helped me to create a new way of looking at food and why I overeat. With her help I can now make choices of both nutritional and delicious foods and still lose weight. I am very near my goal weight and will continue with Stephanie to be sure I can maintain. Stephanie is a very caring person, and because of her help with the weight loss and the issue of why I eat, I?ve accomplished a very personal and important journey. more

Stephanie provided individualized workout programs that took my injuries, mood, and fitness level into account. She motivated me to improve my physical fitness and eating habits. While working with Stephanie, I achieved my weight loss goals. She helped change my life. more

Stephanie's a true professional who brings intelligence, caring, attention and depth of information to every minute of every session. I thought I hired her for weight loss and toning, and her very personalized workouts have helped me, so far, achieve a loss of 14% body fat and the hint of a 6-pack on my mid-life tummy. A confirmed anti-exerciser, I have not been her most compliant client, so it's a real achievement.\r \r But here's the best part: with my being only dimly aware of it, Stephanie's targeted, thoughtful exercises also allowed me, for the first time, to go on my grueling, bi-annual 10-day European business trips and stay energized, vibrant and cheerful, rather than drained, grey and completely wiped out by day 5. On my latest trip, instead of lying prone at every opportunity to restore my strength, I used my extra time to visit museums and shop. I even threw a party! My family and clients can't stop commenting about it, and I always invoke Stephanie in my thanks, as she, essentially, has returned to me the joy of traveling. \r \r more

I have worked with Stephanie in two of her areas of expertise: training and nutrition counseling. In both cases she was outstanding! As a trainer, she is excellent at tailoring the program to the individual and knowing exactly when to challenge and when to ease off. Ditto for her nutritional counseling as well, which is based on non-fad, solid principles of eating healthily. And her nonjudgmental approach to weight loss was just what I needed! Pros: Results more
