Lindsay Stiegler, MS
Owner, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer
Lindsay started LifestyleF.I.T. because she enjoys dedicating her life to helping others
improve theirs. Inspiring people to make lifestyle changes that will improve their quality of life is her main goal as a
personal trainer and fitness coach. She has a passion for helping people
and making a difference in the lives of those around her.
In
2005 Lindsay became certified as a personal trainer through the American
College of Sports Medicine and has been working as an independent
personal trainer and fitness instructor in the Bay Area ever since. She
graduated from San Francisco State University in 2007 with an M.S. in
Kinesiology and also received a B.A. in 2005 from UC Santa Barbara in
Psychology with a triple minor in Exercise Health Science, Personal
Training, and Group Fitness Instruction. Her
passion for fitness started with dance when she was 6 years old and
continued as she learned the beauty and ability of the human body. Lindsay has
almost 20 years of experience as a dancer as well as has been a dance
instructor, cardio hip-hop
teacher, and NCAA cheerleader. She has taught group fitness classes for various fitness clubs including
Equinox and Club One and while she was at SFSU, she worked as the
coordinator of their faculty and staff fitness and wellness program. Lindsay
has found that she has a special bond with her female clients and has specialized in women's health and fitness - though she is happy to
challenge her guys to embrace balance and free weights! Through her
education and life experiences, she has learned the importance of
physical activity to the health and well being of every "body" no
matter what age or life stage an individual may be in. Exercise is about the mind just as much as it is about the body, we can heal through movement. Lindsay is passionate
about helping her clients make lifestyle changes that improve their
fitness and quality of life.
Ellie HoustonNational Personal Training Institute, Certified Personal Trainer
Body In Flow Pilates mat trained
Ellie has been a die-hard adrenaline
junkie ever since she blew off grad school, sold everything she owned, and
moved to Costa Rica to work as a guide for Outward Bound. After several years
as a kayak instructor in Costa Rica and Hawaii, she joined the Hawaii Volcano
Circus and cultivated skills in partner acrobatics, fire spinning and
stilt-walking (and of course, surfing). Upon returning to the Bay Area in 2008,
she attended the National Personal Training Institute in San Francisco, earning
her personal training and pilates certifications. These days, she works as a
trainer in several San Francisco studios, and teaches pilates, rock climbing,
kayaking and paddleboarding all over the bay area. Incorporating her
enthusiasm, experience and education with her almost pathological need to
remain absurdly active, she maintains a vigorous regimen of running, cycling,
pilates, paddling, lifting weights, and maniacally seizes any opportunity to
drop some funk and break a sweat. She loves connecting people with whatever
form of exercise excites, inspires, amuses, or at the very least doesn't offend
them. Also, she really loves Prince.
