Renee Stoneman is a certified professional trainer with over 25 years of combined experience studying, practicing, and helping others build strength, confidence, and lasting fitness. Drawing from her own journey of overcoming years of illness and weakness, she brings both expertise and empathy to every training session.

Four years into her own strength training journey, Renee entered and won her first natural bodybuilding competition at the Southwest Open in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She went on to compete for 17 years, earning multiple drug tested titles, including the Women's Masters Open at the INBF Eastern US Championships (2001), 1st Place in the Open Short Class at the NAS Bodybuilding Competition (2003), and both Masters Open Class Champion and Overall Champion at the OCB Championships (2005).

Motivated by her personal transformation and competitive success, Renee turned her focus to helping others thrive. She is certified through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), one of the fitness industry's most respected organizations, and holds advanced credentials as a Medical Exercise Specialist, along with certifications in Pilates Mat and RevX through Revelation Wellness. This combination allows her to blend strength, mobility, and corrective exercise into highly personalized programs. Renee believes that successful aging - and lasting vitality - begin with an individualized strength training program tailored to the person, not the trend.

Known for her attentive coaching style, she listens deeply, challenges wisely, and thoughtfully guides clients beyond their comfort zones. Her mission is to help every client achieve their personal best through strength, confidence, and a healthier life from the inside out.

We are truly lucky to have Renee as a member of our community and gym. She continues to inspire on a daily basis.
