Well. Here we are. I’m writing and you’re reading what will be my last blog as a FITT-Rx trainer. A position I’ve held for six years, from before the studio even opened in May 2012. Basically since that day I waddled into Elijah’s 5+ months pregnant, to meet with Jen Knuth and Jill Giorno, neither...Read More
What was the motivation behind your weight loss journey? Our relationship as a couple started in 2006 when we were workout buddies together. We used to go to a Gold’s gym in East Hartford, CT after work Mon-Thurs. Scott did not think it was a safe place for Stephanie to go alone so they went...Read More

Shortcuts to a Happy Life Most of the time, I am happy. Life is too short, not to be happy. But that doesn’t mean that “happy” is always easy. My happiness is a constant work in progress. Just like all of you, I have so many days when I wake up grumpy....Read More
What brought each of you to FITT-RX? Debbie: I originally heard about the opening of FITT-RX from Jill Giorno and decided to check it out because I needed a change in my workouts. I was very nervous to start because I have never been a fan of the group workout class atmosphere, but only running was...Read More
Saying Goodbye to my 20’s In a few days I will officially be an adult. It wasn’t the wedding, or being pregnant, or getting off my dad’s cell phone plan (though that’s a real close second) that makes me feel like an adult. It’s the fact that I’ll be out of my 20s and turning...Read More
POSITIVE THINKING IS POWERFUL Psychology was the class every senior in my high school looked forward to taking. Our teacher, Mr. Elgin, was fantastic, passionate about the subject, and you could truly tell he loved teaching.
