Steph Gillam

Stephanie brings more than 15 years of experience in marketing to the field of health and nutrition. After completing degrees in Marketing and Gerontology at Kansas State University, she began her career for a Fortune 500 company. She then went on to get her Master's in Business Administration in 2008. Unfortunately, these stressful years and three pregnancies manifested themselves in extra weight gain. Stephanie found herself overweight, fighting high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and low self-esteem. She made it her mission to lose 65 pounds, stop taking medication, and set an example for her three children. 

Her love for a healthy life directly tied Stephanie's background in business with the fitness industry as a group exercise instructor and certified personal trainer. She is currently an ISSA Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach, Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist and Certified Sports Nutrition Coach.  Stephanie also holds certifications in Schwinn and Keiser cycling, LES MILLS Body Pump, TRX Suspension training, TABATA and is an AFAA certified Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor.
