Real. Honest. Fitness.

Because you don’t need a perfect plan.

You need a system you can trust - and a coach who tells you the truth.

Fitness shouldn’t take over your life. It should make it better.

I coach busy women to build strong bodies and stronger minds - with systems that fit their real lives, not someone else’s rulebook. No extremes. No gimmicks. No starting over again

Forget Perfect. Build Your Strong.

You don’t need another “all-in” program that burns you out by week three.

You need a plan that fits into your real life - and a coach who can help you build it for good.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Staci Stanton. I coach busy women who are ready to stop starting over, and instead are ready to build a body and a lifestyle they can count on.

No extremes. No gimmicks. No shrinking yourself smaller. Just real habits, real strength, and real confidence.

FROM PERFECTIONIST TO POWERFUL.

I didn’t grow up in gyms, on the field, or on the court. I found strength the hard way - balancing work, family, and the million curveballs that life throws you, just like you.

I know what if feels like to put yourself last. I also know what it feels like to reclaim your strength, inside and out.

Now, I help women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond build the systems, skills, and confidence they need to make health and fitness a sustainable part of their lives - without losing themselves in the process.

FITNESS SHOULD MAKE YOUR LIFE BIGGER, NOT SMALLER

I believe that fitness should add to your life - not dominate it.

The goal isn’t 6 weeks of misery. It’s to build something you can live with - and be proud of - for the next 30 years.

My coaching isn’t about pushing yourself harder for the sake of it. It’s about working smarter, training with purpose, and developing habits and behaviors that will serve you long after the motivation wears off.

You bring your goals. I’ll help you find the clearest, most sustainable path to get there.

WHY I COACH THE WAY I DO

I didn’t become a coach because I loved fitness from the start. FAR from it. I've never been a natural athlete. I was the kid most likely to fail the President's Fitness Challenge each year in gym class. Run a mile? Hell no. Flexed arm hang? Wasn't happening. Sit ups? Maaaaybe.  

If you had told me back then that I'd spend my adulthood loving movement and exercise and working with women to teach them how to build their own successful training and nutrition practices, I would have laughed out loud.

Like most women I knew, I'd go to the gym and hit the elliptical or the treadmill, banking those cardio minutes and dreading most every minute of it. I tried aerobics classes, spin classes - you name it, and I probably tried it. Sure, I was "burning calories", but my training had no direction or purpose, and as a result, the changes I was looking to create weren't happening.

I was stuck.

It wasn’t until I stopped chasing results and started finding purpose in the process that I was finally able to escape the cycle of starting and stopping.

Fitness changed my life - not becuase it made me smaller, but because it made me stronger. And now I help women cut through the noise to build real habits and learn to trust themselves again.

WHERE MY EXPERIENCE MEETS YOUR GOALS

I’ve been coaching women through strength training, nutrition, and transformation since 2012 - bringing real world experience, not just theory, to every client I work with.

My approach goes beyond “working out”. It’s about building strength that fits into your real life - so you can show up stronger, more capable, and more confident eery single day.

Over the years, I’ve earned certifications from Precision Nutrition, Renaissance Periodization, WellCoaches, NASM, Starting Strength, StrongFirst, and Brianna Battles.

But more important than any peice of paper is how I apply it:

I use barbell training, kettlebells, and progressive resistance to build effective and efficient programs that work for real women of every age, every stage, and every experience level.

I pair this with nutritional strategies that are based on your life, your goals, and your reality - helping build sustainable behaviors that fit the way you really live, and not some “best-case-scenario”.

After coaching women through every chapter of life, I know how to meet you exactly where you are, and help you move forward with strength, precision, and care.

READY TO STOP STARTING OVER?

If you’re ready to stop chasing the next quick fix and start building real, lasting strength - both inside and out - you’re in the right place.

Let’s build your strong.

Testimonials

  • “I first started working with Staci in July 2017. I was sick of being out of shape and just feeling bleh about myself after having been an athlete growing up. College and Grad School had kicked my butt and I didn't know where to start. Staci was great that she didn't push me into doing a million difficult things. She assessed where I was at and we started slowly. The next thing I knew, I was squatting my weight! She reminded me that I did love physical activity. It really wasn't until I got a flat tire that I realized how strong I had gotten. Changing a flat is hard and tires are heavy! The biggest impact that she had was when I got sick in 2019. I went from working out 3-4 days a week to barely able to walk without assistance. As soon as I was cleared for exercise, I was back in the gym with her and to see where I was then to where I am now, it's all because of her! Staci keeps you motivated, especially when you can't find any within yourself. She's the best!! It's been 4 years and working with Staci has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!”

    —Reshma P.

  • “As a working professional during the thick of the pandemic, I had limited time and space to keep up a dedicated exercise routine. Training with Staci enabled me grow mentally and physically strong even under those circumstances. Staci came up with creative, fun, and butt-kicking training programs to keep me motivated and challenged during our sessions and beyond. Working with Staci also gave me all the necessary tools to keep up the programs on my own.”

    —Katharine C.

  • “I have my own business, three kids, and I am an older mom. My greatest concerns were finding time for working out and not getting injured. I feel like most coaches (trainers) would misinterpret my busy life and stress levels for not being dedicated and not working hard enough. Staci understood my situation and tailor-made programs for me that challenged me, got me the results I wanted, and with minimal risk for injuries. Between coaching my workouts and guiding my nutrition, Staci helped me reach my greatest transformation of my body and lifestyle. Now both fit into my life naturally.”

    —Li F.

  • “I’m a night shift nurse. With my work schedule it was hard for me to find time and motivation to go to the gym. I started working out with Staci in 2017 and it was the best decision! She helped me stay on track and stick to my goals. Staci is flexible and worked with my non-traditional schedule. She is also so personable and helped me to feel comfortable in the gym environment. I definitely recommend training with Staci, she’s great!”

    —Jessie H.

  • “Working out with Staci has been a great experience. I started just wanting to get back into shape after having a baby. Which I did. But she has over the years helped me post surgery and even a broken wrist. She has kept me on a consistent workout schedule and it has been challenging and fun. The best part is when I am working out and I can remember back to a time when this was something I wasn't strong enough to do. It's a great feeling of accomplishment and Staci was there every step along the way!”

    —Susan S.

  • “I began training with Staci about 5 years ago, as I was turning 65. As a retired nurse, I knew that I had to work at maintaining strength and balance going forward. With those goals in mind, Staci continues to design a program that keeps me moving ahead and accountable as well. She is a knowledgeable professional trainer and a very pleasant individual. For these reasons, I am happy to have found her!”

    —Pat K

  • “I am a mom of 2 teenagers. I’ve been strength training consistently for 4 years. Staci was my coach for one of those years. She did all of my programming and reviews of my lifts and her feedback was very constructive and detailed which I loved. I was able to apply what she told me to my lifts. She really was the springboard that has made me a much better lifter today. I still count on her from time to time to give me advice and it makes me feel good knowing she’s in my corner. She’s a great coach! I know if you’re stuck with your lifting she can help you move forward.”
