Why we love Stephanie.
This firecracker is always rooting for you - she’s loyal to the core and always rooting for those around her. She’s a tough cookie but genuinely sweet and thoughtful. Ever since she crushed it during COVID with us, we’ve loved seeing this badass take any class and challenge from 0 to 100. ..and beyond.
If you only have time for xClimb or xBurn, how are you sweating?
I have to choose? I make time for both! But if I had to choose just one, xBurn with some HIIT thrown in of course ;)
What's something you're hoping to do in 2022?
Find my abs! They are under here somewhere.
After a long week of work, what's your go-to for relaxing?
I like to get Fearless on Fridays and then champagne with the ladies on the weekend.
How did you find X˙CORE?
It was the first Lagree class I ever took but then spent my time at other studios before finding my way back to Elaine and Cora during the pandemic. Thanks to their online classes I was able to stay relatively positive during a very dreary time. It was their persistence to provide for their Xcore community, in whatever way possible, a fitness sanctuary no matter what the current mandates were saying that impressed me the most. As the pandemic raged on, other gyms and studios slowly lost their online presence but Xcore continued to evolve during the pandemic, never letting anyone down. It was their drive to keep their business and the community they built afloat that has kept me so loyal and helped me flourish in my fitness endeavors.
Favorite place to eat in the East Bay?
Donato & Co in Berkeley….and my mom’s kitchen!
You suddenly have a totally free day, no plans. How do you spend it?
Have I already been to Xcore for the day? Then pajamas back on and under the duvet I go for a day of content binging and snoozing!
Any facts about you our community might not know?
I’m a Bay Area native, born in SF Children’s Hospital, but I became a citizen of beautiful New Zealand after immigrating there. I have actually spent 15 years of my life living in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
