Steph does a wonderful job of providing thoroughly effective one-on-one training routines and corresponding feedback. During our weekly sessions, she provides knowledgeable insight on muscle physiology in the context of the exercises, while encouraging me to push my endurance limits. Her rare combination of coaching skills – as an intuitive, caring motivator – inspire me to keep up with my “homework” routines, and make the regular sessions something I really look forward to. Physical fitness is now part of my life, thanks in large part to Steph.

Steph is an amazing trainer, I first came to her almost five years ago and since the beginning she has taught me and motivated me to work hard. She was able to influence this mind set in all aspects of my life, especially training, which I never really enjoyed until I began working with her. She has made such a difference in my life! Not only did she help me to gain the strength, skills, body awareness, knowledge and a changed physique which enabled me to fulfill my goals of competing at the Junior level in ice dance. She also helped me gain confidence and enlightened me on my love of being active and seeing how it can have such an influence in my life! She has been able to push me beyond the  limits I had set for myself, which has been able to inspire me to gain a new found respect for myself. All while showing me what I can do when I am willing to give it my all!
Experiencing this change first hand has also inspired me to help others by improving their health, fitness and well being. For two years now I have had Steph as my mentor, and its truly inspirational and remarkable to see how she can have an impact on her clients by using her great extent of knowledge, passion and experience in each session.  Training with as well as working alongside her has taught me so much about training and life, which I am truly grateful for and I hope that with my hard work I will be able to as great of a successful role model!!!

My experience has been fantastic with Art and Steph! Steph is supportive and exciting and a total blast to work with! Steph is always in tune with my personal goals, and is incredibly supportive. Steph isn’t all about the numbers, such as my weight and calerie intake. Instead she is interested in how I am feeling and how my clothes fit! What a breath of fresh air! I am currently 28 years old and about a 140 pounds, although I have no real idea as I haven’t been on a scale in over a year. I have an office job, and may have gotten a little out of shape, but I can’t wait to get back to being lean and mean!!!  Thank you Steph! I always look forward to my weekly sessions with you!

PS- Steph has even encouraged me to quit smoking! I am 57 days a non smoker now!!!

As a competitive figure skater, I’ve been doing Pilates at RIM with Stephanie the last 2 years to help strengthen my body. I’ve found that it has helped me improve my overall strength: mentally and physically. It has really increased my flexibility, my core strength, my body awareness and my realization of what my body is capable of. This helps me so much on the ice because I’m now able to identify what it is I need to fix to make things better when I’m skating, whether it’s posture, technique or overall extensions. Mentally, Pilates helps me focus on being able to isolate my muscles and joints. Pilates has made me more energized and I always feel stronger when I leave a session with Stephanie. I also find it’s easy to track my own progress for improvements which makes me want to continue with Pilates to be better. Stephanie has taught me so many things about Pilates and my capabilities and I really enjoy working with her!

Stephanie has worked with me to recover from a serious low back injury. Many thought that my fitness and athletic pursuits were over. Through progressive work with Stephanie on a one-on-one basis and in her Pilates mat class I now able to run half-marathons and compete in sprint triathlons in my age group class. At 57 I am back at it and extremely grateful, thank you Stephanie !!

I find that my reformer classes with Steph help me to release my muscle tension very effectively and strengthen my muscles at the same time. We have lots of laughs every session and I always feel like I’ve worked hard. Steph pushes me to use the best techniques, which has helped me to improve a lot since I started working with her.  I am a former competitive figure skater and enjoyed my pilates classes a lot while I was skating. So much that I couldn’t give them up, even after skating. I am 20 years old and I’ve been taking lessons with Steph for a couple years.
