I can't say enough good things about Stacia at Hardbody Fitness! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. Stacia’s dedication to my fitness journey has been nothing short of inspiring. She tailored every workout to fit my needs and pushed me to achieve goals I never thought possible. Her positive energy and genuine care make every session enjoyable, and I've seen incredible results thanks to her guidance. I'm truly grateful to have found such an amazing coach and highly recommend her to anyone looking to transform their life!

Stacia really put my fitness journey on the right track when I started 3 months ago. I was 9 months post partum when I started and I had already tried getting back into working out on my own, which I ended up injuring myself. Stacia forced me to take it slow to make sure I was able to build up my strength before getting back into the things I enjoyed like running and swimming. At the time, I was having trouble even carrying my son to the car, now I can carry him with one hand, all of the toddler things, and hold on to the dog leash without fear of injuring myself because I know I'm strong enough.
Stacia is real with you - and that personality isnt for everyone. So if you want someone who is going to sugar coat things, give you a "lose weight quick" plan, and have you doing an hour of cardio, then this isnt the place for you. This is the place where you will need to be patient with yourself and trust the process, because the outcome may not be what you had in mind when you start (like losing 50 lbs) but you'll come out with much more (like strength, the skills to work out on your own, fat loss & muscle build, and proper nutrition).

I called to inquire about Hard Body's services and spoke with Stacia. I was looking into a personal trainer for myself, my wife, and daughter. Before I could explain what we were looking to accomplish I was 'educated' on how everyone else operates wrong and told that if I was looking for a "quick session where someone works you hard then sends you home" this was not the place for us. Stacia then asked about our budget, and I explained I have seen a wide range of prices and wanted to know what her rates were. She continued to berate other gyms and 'explain' to me how they work and that if that wasn't in my budget, hers was not the gym for me. This was before she even told me her pricing. I felt Stacia was very condescending and didn't seem too interested in taking on any new clients. I did eventually get the pricing out of her, which was going to be a minimum of $2300 per month for the three of us with a mandatory 3 sessions a week. They do not offer package deals. I think we'll find another gym. We're not good enough for Stacia, just ask her.

I came to hard body after trying a CrossFit type gym for a year that left me so beyond exhausted I literally couldn’t function the rest of the day. I would think after a full year my body would get use to it and it was just to intense for me personally.. I found hard body and Stacia was amazing and worked with my schedule I see her twice a week and the workouts are definitely NOT easy! The difference is that she checks my heart rate often and when it’s high I get a chance to bring it back down before starting the next exercise which my body took way better liking to. She is very thorough in stretching me out at the end of the session too almost like a mini muscle message which did wonders for my bones and muscles. And if you are a dog lover like I am.. she has the sweetest pug who comes around during cool down and stretches with ya .. I highly recommend hard body.

This review is long overdue.

I have been fortunate enough to have Stacia as a friend and trainer for 7 years. During that span, Stacia has provided inspiration, wisdom, and support that saw me through a heart attack and my bipolar disorder at its worst.
The approach of Stacia and her staff encourages participants to enhance their overall fitness by providing a facility for strength and flexibility training while also providing nutrition and cardio goals.
As a trainer, Stacia has never wrecked me in a session. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Always.
As for Stacia my friend, let me say that her voice and opinions have been instrumental in helping me achieve and surpass my personal fitness goals.

If you decide to make a change for the better, I assure you that the Hard Body staff will be able to assist you on your journey.

I’ve had such a wonderful experience at Hard Body Personal Training! I started working out with Danielle 2x a week because I got really sedentary over the last 2 years (surprise!!) and started getting chronic hip and back pain in my 30’s. Within weeks I had already decreased my body fat + measurements, and my pain completely went away. I love the small group setting here - it still feels so personal and I love that Danielle remembers all my body quirks and creates custom workouts for my exact needs. I never feel self-conscious and the environment is very supportive and down to earth. I absolutely recommend working out here!

I've been training with Stacia for 7+ years. Because of Stacia I can move and be active. Being a breast cancer survivor with frozen shoulder syndrome it would be a chronic daily pain situation without her expertise and careful attention to the needs of the customer. I appreciate her more than anyone can ever imagine. I've had other trainers but the knowledge level required to handle the individual customer needs and limitations was not at the level that Stacia has.
