“I’m so excited to announce in ONLY 6 ½ MONTHS I have LOST 100 pounds!!! “Are you hearing me?!” echoes in my head of my amazing trainer, Stasi with Sonshine Fitness. HOW you ask? – Eating healthy, cardio, and weight training. With Stasi’s over 30 years of experience she has calculated the perfect combination that will benefit my needs specifically to help lose body fat, gain strength, muscle, and tone. She knows when to change things up to keep the momentum going so if you do plateau she will pull out another trick from her hat. I have lost a big amount weight before but did it with fake unhealthy food. It really messed me up physically, mentally, and emotionally. I gained all the weight back and then some to get the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I noticed I dodged people I knew because I was embarrassed how I looked. Then I would feel bad about myself for doing that. It was time to take back my life again. I was tired of being this way and needed to gain Dana back. Stasi gave me a specific criterion and I ran with it. I live by the numbers and do not go over. For myself it was easier to plan a Mon-Sun meal plan and do that every week. Each day is different so I am not bored. I also was given cardio to do 5-6 days a week and started out weight training 2 days a week. Did I struggle? Yes, of course and still do, but it is nothing that has held me back. Stasi’s guidance, encouragement, and knowledge has not led me a stray. I am in it to win it now! It is crazy how I don’t get the cravings I used to. I do not even feel deprived. It’s a new healthier way of life for me. I am excited to continue on this incredible journey to be the best I can be. There is no doubt in my mind that I know I have the most amazing coach that will get me there and then teach me how to maintain to keep it off. If you need some motivation and are looking to become a healthier you, Stasi Longo is the person who can change your life. Come join this journey with me. P.S. Stasi is hosting a 12 week Body Transformation Challenge that starts in January. It is a great opportunity to help jump start your New Year’s Resolution. I am going to enter this one! Stay tuned for more information.”

“My first appointment with Stasi Longo was in 2008. My fellow figure friends told me I should be a figure competitor (I actually wanted to be a fitness girl, but at 36 with a limited gymnastics background I didn’t pursue it). The first appointment I remember being intimated by Stasi’s trophies, her competition picture, and the many pictures of her champions throughout the studio. (I can’t remember where/why but I did feel that way at one time). Stasi had trained so many and everyone looked so great! What had I gotten myself into? I couldn’t do this! Oh boy. Stasi asked what my goals were – I told her I wanted to compete. She shook her head and said, “In what?” “All my friends said I should do figure”, I replied. To which she replied, “Ok, put on these heals.” We both chucked after that and Stasi said, “Take off those heals – you’re a bodybuilder.” Those words have been in my head ever since. Stasi’s strong faith, confidence, and many, many, MANY words of encouragement got me through my first 16 weeks of training. I made it. I did it; I was actually going to compete! I was a bodybuilder! All competitors remember their first time; the nervousness, the butterflies, and all the racing thoughts. “These ladies look great! What did I get myself into?” I wanted to cry. Then, I remembered Stasi’s words, “You are a bodybuilder.” I repeated in my head over and over and over. First show, first place; overall winner, pro-card. I listened to Stasi: everything she said I did. I did not deviate from my meal plans; I followed them exactly. Listen to your trainer.”

“I’ve always trained on my own but when I was asked to do my first bikini competition I hadn’t a clue where to start. I asked around and everyone told me if I wanted to do well I had to work with Stasi. Let me tell you everyone was right! While other competitors were freaking out about show day I felt over prepared for never having stepped on stage before. Competitors were asking me what to expect and what they should do when they were on stage! Not only did Stasi prepare me mentally for competition day, but she was the brains behind my winning physique! She truly is amazing at her job. In just 12 short weeks she sculpted my body by learning how it responds to food intake and workouts. She didn’t set any crazy restrictions. Instead she kept it real with me and set realistic goals. Most importantly we did everything natural and healthy the entire prep! There was not one part of the competition that Stasi was not a part of. She taught me how to pose, helped choose my bikini, choose my jewelry, and choose my stage walk song. The number one thing I loved about having Stasi as my coach was that she gave constructive criticism until everything was perfect. We didn’t stop working on something until it was the best I could do. Stasi understands the dangers of competitions, how mentally challenging they can be. Therefore, she was constantly checking up on me making sure I stayed positive and healthy- even after competition! I could not have had a better coach for my first bikini competition. If you want to be a winner you want a coach who is beyond knowledgeable, who cares, and will keep it real with you. You want Stasi Longo!”

“I have been working out with Stasi for a year now. I am amazed at how much stronger I have gotten and how much better I feel. Strength training gives me the confidence to tackle any task that comes my way. I had trained with another trainer for several years but in this past year with Stasi I have progressed much farther than I ever have. I am an avid cyclist and Stasi has strengthened my legs and cardio so that climbing the city street hills are not “nearly impossible” any longer. I also find myself riding faster for longer distances. Stasi is always encouraging and a wonderful support. Even on my worst days she pushes me to limits I didn’t think possible a year ago. I am so glad I switched gyms and highly recommend Sonshine Fitness Gym for strength and cardio training.”

“I WAS SO SHOCKED AND PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AFTER A RECENT DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT CONCERNING MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS! MY LDL (BAD CHOLESTEROL) WENT FROM 130 TO 98, MY HDL (GOOD CHOLESTEROL) INCREASED BY 8 AND MY OVERALL CHOLESTEROL DECREASED BY 21 POINTS! THE ONLY THING THAT I DID DIFFERENTLY THIS PAST 3 MONTHS WAS SIGNED UP WITH STASI AT SONSHINE FITNESS FOR PERSONAL TRAINING. I CAN’T BELIEVE THESE EXCELLENT HEALTH BENEFIT RESULTS!”
