Desarae Stills

Desarae Stills is a dynamic healthcare professional dedicated to promoting total health and
wellbeing. Desarae’s career in healthcare began with her matriculation at Florida A&M University,
where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management. She went on to achieve a Master
of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and has gained 15 years of experience in
Healthcare Management before immersing in the world of fitness.
Desarae’s fitness journey began in 2015 after being diagnosed as a borderline diabetic. Her
diagnosis had a profound impact on her life because it was accompanied by realizing that her life was
not hers alone; she has family and friends to live for, which motivated her to change. Desarae’s first
step in committing to a lifestyle change was joining a fitness program. She began to transform from the
inside out because she learned that group fitness, most notably, STRONG NATION, targets weight loss
and toning and promotes discipline, unity, and self-confidence!
Desarae ultimately met and exceeded her fitness goals by losing 85 pounds and transitioning
into a fitness instructor to assist others in their fitness journeys. Her fitness approach stresses total
health while conducting group training to the beat with her STRONG Nation classes. STRONG Nation is a program that combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio, and plyometric training
moves synced to original music, specifically designed to match every single move.
Desarae has continued to advance in her journey as a personal trainer. Since becoming a
certified STRONG NATION instructor, she has instructed several fitness classes, including HIIT, Aqua, and Yoga.
She has collaborated with several fitness influencers in the Orlando community to promote healthy
lifestyle changes for people of all fitness levels.
Today, Desarae is the proud owner and founder of HYPE TO BE FIT, LLC, the fitness and wellness
resource that is not only dedicated to total health and wellness but encourages an enthusiastic and high
energy experience. The National Academy of Sports Medicine recently certified Desarae and her
passion for physical and mental health is more intense than ever!
As a fitness influencer, Desarae’s vision is to introduce a level of innovation and flexibility in
personal training that the industry has never seen!
