SO WHO IS STEPH, ANYWAY?
My name is Steph, and I’m a wife, mom, and writer with a passion for lifting heavy weights and eating good foods. I’m the owner of Results Nutrition Coaching, CrossFit Harrisonburg, StrongFigure Bootcamp, author of REVAMP Your Health, 365 MetCons, a PE Teacher at my kids’ school, as well as the author of several other workout programs and recipe PDFs – found here!
Even though I love fitness and nutrition, exercise and eating right have not always been an easy road for me. I gain weight easily and in my early 20s, I spent most of my days either overweight or yo-yo dieting without much success.
For me, losing weight, discovering how to make the right food choices, and learning how to lift weights and exercise properly has taken me on a years-long journey of experimentation, trials, success, and even failure. With the help of my husband, Erik, we created StrongFigure.com to write about the journey to finding great health, and to help people who might be struggling in the same ways I have struggled before. My book, REVAMP Your Health, is about this journey and how to avoid the mistakes I made trying get get healthy, all while teaching YOU exactly what to do (and not to do) to become the fittest version of yourself possible.
I’m still learning each and every day about foods, my body, different methods of exercise, and even about topics such as holistic nutrition, muscle recovery, mobility, and flexibility. That’s what I feel separates me from many others–my desire to learn and grow as a person and to share my knowledge with you is what drives my passion to make StrongFigure one of the best sites dedicated to helping people like me, and like you. It’s also why I’ve created Results Nutrition – I’ve FINALLY found a way to not only find my own success through building healthier daily habits, but I have found the best way to coach others – and have built a solid team of coaches to help me help you.
I wasn’t always crazy about fitness.
In fact, I never cared a thing about exercise or diet until after I graduated from college. I didn’t have problems maintaining a decent figure in high school, but in college, too much late-night pizza and fast food caused me to gain a whopping 40 pounds. The Christmas after I graduated, my mom took a picture of me sitting on the floor, opening up presents. But months later when I saw that picture–grossly overweight, overflowing stomach, chipmunk cheeks, and wearing the only sweatpants I could still squeeze into–I realized just how foul a crime I had committed towards my body. I was disgusted with myself.
I’ve Lost and Gained…
Throughout my struggles with weight, I’ve learned more about health, fitness, nutrition, and exercise than I ever expected. I’ve made friends and lost friends, and I’ve built strength and lost fat. I went from being the fat kid to the gym owner and nutrition coach. But maybe most importantly, after so much failure, I didn’t just find success; I finally found myself again. I found happiness and confidence.
