Stephanie Thompson

Stephanie is a Georgia native who moved to northern Virginia in 2009 following graduate studies in mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech. A mother of three, Stephanie discovered her love of fitness during pregnancy as she worked towards preparing for and recovering from childbirth. She has translated that experience into a passion for helping others to build bodies that enable them to achieve their goals in life, including everything from sport-specific training to keeping up with the grandkids.

Stephanie is a Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise. Stephanie has also completed Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Training for Fitness Professionals, through the American Parkinson Disease Association. This allows Stephanie to safely and effectively work with those who exhibit all forms of Parkinson’s disease, from the initial stage to more progressed stages.

In addition to personal training, Stephanie is a percussion instructor with the local middle and high schools, supporting early percussion instruction as well as the marching band and indoor drumline. Marching band was a huge part of her life growing up, and she appreciates having the opportunity to give local students a similarly rewarding band experience. Outside of training and music, Stephanie enjoys hiking, exploring local history, and sampling the offerings of the area’s craft breweries.
