Share your STF experience

What fitness apps or programs were you using (if any) before you discovered STF? 
There was a yoga app I used for a little while and then MyFitnessPal was what I used whenever I got on the calorie-counting wagon

How has STF bridal fitness made you feel about your body?
My body / how I looked used to be the #1 thought on my mind every day. I worried about it, fretted over clothes and avoided looking in mirrors. Now, it’s barely ever a thought. I wear clothes without thinking about it and happily walk around a room with confidence!

How did STF bridal fitness affect your wedding day?
I owned the room. It had been a long long time since I’d been fit enough and confident enough to own any room but man, on my wedding day I killed it!!

What was your favorite part of wedding fitness training?
My favorite part of wedding fitness training was realizing for the first time in my adult life that I have control over my health and fitness. The type of training she lined up for me every day sparked a passion for exercising I didn’t think I had in me!

What made you decide to start training with Stephanie? 
I was looking for someone who I could trust to tell me exactly what I needed to do to start feeling better about my health and fitness. As someone in Marketing, her branding looped me in but after one conversation with her I knew this was someone who I could trust! 

What fitness goals have you reached with STF?
I have asthma and so does Stephanie so that was a focus area for us. I’m now running almost every day and I NEVER thought that would be possible for me! My whole family can’t believe it when I go to visit them and strap on my shoes to go for a run. 

What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome during training? How did you overcome it?
There were several hurdles such as spurts of low energy, nutrition while traveling, and running with asthma but Stephanie helped me through each and every one of them. When the wedding was almost here, I got very overwhelmed and couldn’t seem to calm my mind down and all of her recommendations were life savers.
