Coach Stef
Hey! I’m Stef. I live in Oakland with my rescue pittie, Eeyore, and my wife. My passion is helping people become the strongest version of themselves, no matter what fitness experience they have.
Much of my professional career was spent working as a chef in fine dining restaurants. After the pandemic, I made a career switch to prioritize my health and well-being. Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of types of gyms in the Bay Area, from large HIIT classes, to 1-1 functional fitness, to weightlifting and CrossFit.
I’ve experienced firsthand how focusing on fitness and nutrition can lead to a better quality of life and now I’m committed to helping others on their journey. I have experience working with all bodies and experience levels and want everyone to feel comfortable - one of the reasons I train in my private gym. If you haven’t found a routine that makes you feel good, I’m here to work with you no matter what insecurities or injuries you have. I have experience training clients struggling with obesity, mobility challenges and limited fitness experience. I welcome clients of all sexual orientations and genders 🌈.
