Get to Know Stef
Hi! I am Stef and the owner and founder of Vitality Training Studio. Being a trainer is my second career. After 10+ years having my soul sucked in corporate America, I made a change and never looked back. I am a wife and mom to two very spirited girls. Strength training of any sort is my favorite, but I also enjoy running, hiking and mountain biking (as long as it's not too technical). My husband and I love traveling around the world to experience different cultures. I also am an avid reader.
What made you become a personal trainer? After years in the corporate world where it seemed that all my effort was for nothing, I wanted to be able to really make a difference in people's lives. What better way than to teach them tools to live a healthier, more active life?!
What's your favorite exercise? I pretty much love just about every exercise.
What's your least favorite exercise? The assault bike - this machine is ridiculous
​
What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer? That moment when a client realizes that they can actually do something they hadn't been able to do before or it's been a long time.
​
What are your personal fitness training specialties? Pregnancy and postpartum, hip rehab (I've had hip labral reconstruction surgery so I know all about it), knee, shoulder and back pain, cyclists, runners, cancer recovery, and women's health.
​
What is a fun fact about you? I've traveled to 5 continents and have visited 48 states.

"When I needed to prepare for prostate surgery, there was only one person I trusted with this most important task - I reached out to Stef the day I knew surgery was coming. What sets Stef apart is how genuinely vested she is in her clients - I've seen her near tears talking about successes she's encouraged in others, and you can see this is a genuine love of what she does. My transformation has been more than I hoped for, and when my final check-in came, my healthcare provider was in awe of where I was physically - I felt as prepared as I could possibly be for what was ahead."
