Our Story

Change Fitness was an idea that began in the basement of Steph's legendary sister and brother-in-law's home. In a world that was battling to take a holistic approach to health & wellness, it was a tough time to start a 'gym' business. But there appeared to be a need and a want for movement, connection and a physical and emotional release. So, up started the Change Fitness One-on-one Personal Training Studio. Fortunately for us, the people of Shawnigan Lake loved the personal family-style studio, and business was booming!

Fast forward to a few months later, and in person sessions became a no go zone. With such uncertainty in the upcoming months, we knew we had to pivot, so we decided it was time to move things online, and within a month and a half, the Change Fitness App was up and running. It was a challenging time to say the least, but Steph knew that now more than ever, it was an important time to provide an affordable space for the community to move and connect. Steph did Saturday morning Zoom classes, online challenges, and began recording some pretty impressive workout videos, ensuring the community got, not only a solid workout, but had a laugh while doing it!

This online hub opened the door for Steph to begin Corporate Health and Wellness Programs for Organizations. She started working with a team from Toronto and California, and since then, has linked up with Global Organizations to bring together an Employee Health and Wellness Program that supports business's in providing the tools necessary to establish health and wellness as pillars in the workforce. Steph brings together Allied Health Professionals to do Wellness Webinars, provides 1:1 Goal setting sessions for employees, as well as a Corporate Wellness App which is driven by Canada's largest Telehealth provider. She is now working with several companies to promote wellness in the workplace, leading to increased employee satisfaction, employee retention and improving the overall culture and wellness of the individuals and corporations.

Steph's individual and business growth has sadly but (excitedly!) lead her out of the family studio and into her own space. She is now following her original dream of leading community in group training sessions, providing a safe space for movement and growth, and of course programming some solid workouts for her clients!
