Stephanie is an amazing individual who's following her bliss and doing what she's meant to do - help people become stronger, healthier and happier individuals. It was my greatest luck to have started taking her kettlebell blast class at the Sports Club/LA. She inspired me to go through the RKC and boy was I thankful to see her there cheering me on!
Stephanie has real and true concerns for people. She's always thinking about how to better her victim's posture, form and technique. Her knowledge in kettlebells is vast but coupled with her ability to work with other tools in and out of the gym makes her invaluable to anyone and everyone who crosses her path. I am one of the fortunate few! yay!

Stephanie was an assistant RKC at the UCLA RKC that I attended for recertification. Whether it was to comment on technique or execution or to even check up on our hydration, Stephanie was professional, courteous and attentive. She was able to demonstrate and correct with equal ease - which in and of itself a skill when you are faced with a group of sweaty, smelly men slinging KB's around.

Thanks again Stephanie!

Excellent instructor! Stephanie was very motivating but made sure every move was preformed correct & safe. She explained the movement of each kettlebell exercise clear and easy to understand. Thank you Stephanie I would not have gotten through the tough weekend without you!

My background as an athlete and education as a biomedical engineer has predisposed me to being critical of the regimen and philosophy of training methods outside of my own knowledge and experience.

I have had the privilege of training with Stephanie for about six months. It is without condition or exception that I may proudly state that the fitness opportunity Stephanie has offered me is the most altering and empowering I have ever experienced.

While Stephanie's academic and professional achievements are beyond reproach, her authentic personality and inspiring demeanor complete the perfect components of a superior fitness partner. She is passionate and engaging. Stephanie dispenses her vast knowledge of Kettlebell training, fitness, and nutrition with humility and poise. Her enthusiasm and sincerity are infectious and empowering.

While under Stephanie's instruction, I have attained fitness and body composition goals I would never have thought possible. I leave each session with a profound sense of pride and achievement. I have never found it easier to comply with an exercise program. This is due to the genuine interest Stephanie has in my safety, enjoyment, and very hard work.

If you intend to assess several RKG trainers in your quest to find the perfect fit, make Stephanie your last candidate. I promise you will choose to look no further after your introduction.

Stephanie was an Assistant RKC of Team Nepodal at the RKC in Los Angeles. She demonstrated tough love to me when I was not keeping up with others or anything else that had confused me. She was also very perceptive to offer and deliver my constant desire for water and her thoughtful reminders of what was expected of me to help keep me on my toes. Her service to the me and Team for her knowledge was outstanding. I appreciate her professional and calm manner of teaching. Thank you Stephanie for helping me to survive the RKC!

It's rare to see someone who has both extensive knowledge AND the
ability to convey it in a clear,understandable fashion,but I was thereand I saw up close at the LA RKC certification as Stephanie transformed timid,unsure beginners into confident,capable,kettlebell
lifters.She is the teacher's teacher and those in her charge are most
fortunate indeed. She is superb!

I had the pleasure of having Stephanie as one of my assistants at the LA, RKC certification. Her knowledge of kettlebells and training was a great asset to our team. The weekend would not have been the same without her. Our team was strong and came through with flying colors and Stephanie was a large part of their success. She is a great instructor.

When I started working out with Stephanie in late 2004, I was 51 years old. I realized I had better start taking care of my body because whatever natural strength and vibrancy I once had was long gone. I didn't want to lose weight; I just wanted to get strong. Thanks to Stephanie, I have not only gotten stronger; I have also lost weight, toned my body in all the most important places, and even gotten "taller" (because I'm standing up straighter).

Before meeting Stephanie, I had never worked on conditioning my body. When she started me on kettlebells she had me using the 4-kg, and I've now advanced to the 8-kg. My friends are amazed when I tell them I can lift a 17 1/2-lb. weight over my head with one arm...but I can! At 55 years of age I am in the best shape of my life.

Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable about how the muscles work together to power the body. The kettlebells are part of a customized "functional fitness" program that is designed to help me achieve the balance, strength and tone I need to carry out my everyday activites, like climbing stairs and carrying grocery bags. (My front door is 27 steps from the street, so these are important!)

Stephanie pushes me to do better at every session, but she is also careful and a good listener. If something isn't working for me, she reevaluates. My workouts are always fun and enjoyable. Stephanie is a great fitness role model...and she's a terrific person, too.

Working out with Stephanie has definitely changed my life for the better. I totally recommend Stephanie Laff!

I have been working with Steph for 3 years in March 2008. What a difference she has made in my life. The strength that I gain physically lets me know that in all areas of my life I can do anything. I am up in cardio strength and down in fat %. I am an action actress and the Kettlebell work has given me the power that I need to do my work. There has not been a time when she could not tailor fit the work out for my stunt work needs. Thanks Ms Steph for all your help and dedication.
