Boni

As the co-founder of The Fitness Studio in Clayton I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer , R.N. and have a BA in Psychology. Over the last twelve years I have trained hundreds of St. Louis’s most prominent clients and local celebrities. Fun is mandatory at the studio and getting results is the focus! I motivate my client’s minds while transforming their bodies. My proudest accomplishment is the fact that I have developed more than 100 fitness professionals in this market and I love that together we are changing the quality of lives of so many St. Louisans.

Kirsten

Originally born and raised in San Diego, California, I moved to St. Louis as a teenager and, after High School, pursued a career in the medical field. A nurse since 1999, I have always been passionate about health care which evolved into a passion for fitness! Seeking my own weight loss needs after giving birth to my son in 2002, I was able to achieve my own fitness goals through diet and exercise. Now I have become an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. My passion is to help other women achieve their own fitness goals through motivating them to take care of themselves first! "Too many of us put ourselves last when we start our careers and settle down to have a family. I have found that I am happiest when I am healthy! My family is happier, my job is easier, life, in general is better when we feel good about who we are! I want to be the motivating factor behind the changes that women, often times, forget they deserve !" As a new member of The Fitness Studio Family, I have been given the opportunity to work with women who are looking to achieve their fitness goals!"

Lisa K

A dancer since age 3, Lisa brings her creative choreography to Cardio StripFit. She has been on dance teams at both DuBourg high school as well as Fontbonne University. After pursuing her professional career as an art director at a local agency, McGowan Crain, she stumbled upon the Fitness Studio in Clayton and has become a perfect fit since. "Cardio StripFit is a blast!! I truly enjoy teaching it and watching the girls' confidence soar as they move their hips across the floor and learn spins on the poles. It's so much fun to feel sexy while you're getting your work out!"

LaShell

I originally joined Cardio Strip Fit because I made a commitment to myself to stay fit and live a healthier lifestyle. Because the classes were so fun and effective, I began attending on a regular basis. Meeting new people and sharing the same interest and goals as others is what makes CSF enjoyable. I am very excited to join the CSF family. I am one of the newest instructors of bachelorette and birthday parties. Being an instructor has made me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin; which I believe is one the goals of Cardio Strip Fit. I want to thank my new family for welcoming me.

Katie

Katie has been a member of The Fitness Studio Team since Sept 2007. Her first experience with the studio was when she attended a Cardio StripFit class and immediately fell in love. After getting her sexiness on a few times in class, Katie decided that she could no longer live without Cardio StripFit in her life , and joined the team. She has always had a strong passion for dance, and since she has become an instructor here, has lost ten pounds and toned her body more than she could have ever imagined. " This class has not only boosted my confidence level, but has allowed me to finally feel comfortable in my own body, not to mention SEXY!"

Christy

As a new member of the fitness studio, I am excited to be a
part of such a fabulous team that offers fun,creativity, and fitness all in
one! I began as a member and took several classes a week. Eventually I was trained to host bachelorette, birthday, and girls night out parties and now I have my own csf class. My background is in dance-cheering for the St. Louis Ambush soccer team for 3yrs, the St. Louis Swarm for 1yr, and the St Louis Rams for 4yrs. I am proud to have been involved in Superbowl XXXVI and was also selected to represent the Rams in Japan and Korea to perform for the troops in 2004. I have had so many amazing and rewarding experiences and now not only am I able to continue in my passion for dance but also help others in a fun way to get fit!

Kayla (Group Exercise Manager)

As a student at Lindenwood University I am pursuing a degree in exercise science and I will be attending Barnes- Jewish to become a registered nurse. I have been studying tap, jazz, hiphop, ballet, for 11 years and took first place with my school dance team at state. I started taking classes at the Fitness Studio in March of 2008 and now all the years of taking classes has paid off because I am now currently an instructor and teach bachelorette, birthday and Girls Night out Parties. I never thought I would have a job that I could stay fit at while having fun teaching sexy workout routines and swinging on the pole.

Christi

This is the first time in my life that I love my job! I have always been very fitness & health oriented. I’ve been involved in many sports from elementary school on through college- even my degree reflects my lifestyle! I have a B.S. in Athletic Training and am currently working on my second B.S. in Nursing. I love the feeling of a good workout and use it as a stress reliever. Dancing is also a huge part of my life. It allows me to let loose, be creative, and escape reality. Working at The Fitness Studio allows me to use all my strengths and passions and make them a benefit to other’s lives. Like Boni says” Choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life”.
