Greetings! My name is Robert Stephens! Four years ago, my wife, Carola, had a vision of starting this business to improve the lives of those in our community through health and wellness. I am excited to join her on this journey as a new NASM certified personal trainer. I have always had a lifelong passion for fitness and performance. Growing up I played baseball but always kept myself active with various athletic activities. When I started a family in my mid 20’s my health sometimes had to take a back seat to other obligations. Thus, I realize the barriers many adults face when working toward their fitness journey. My goal is to help you overcome those obstacles and achieve the lifelong benefits of a healthy and stronger body!
About three years ago, I took up the hobby of long distance running and have since completed three marathons–each under four hours. I plan to train later this year and complete my fourth marathon in early 2026. I am driven to help individuals build a solid foundation of functional fitness utilizing stabilization, sustainable strength, and improved endurance, while moving with purpose and passion. We will also have a fun time doing it! Whether you’re trying to lose weight, improve balance, build strength, or train for your first race, I’m here to guide you with structured, personalized training plans that gets results.
Beyond fitness, I work full time as an Associate Vice President of Admissions for a health sciences graduate school. I have been married to Carola for 21 years and have 2 children aged 20 and 18. In my spare time I enjoy traveling (especially cruises), cooking, listening to lots of music, and watching Netflix mystery documentaries.
