Stephanie Blaise
Stephanie Blaise
Certified Coach & Personal Trainer
Stephanie is passionate about unlocking everyone’s ability to be able to MOVE STRONG, involving all aspects of physical strength. The quality of movement patterns, power and fitness of heart and lungs, combined in the bubble of enjoyment!
We all move similarly but how we move is unique, through repetitions over our life experiences – sports, daily habits, genetics. Stephanie prioritises every individual and what is best for them. Stephanie supports in assessing the pain and limitations of how you move, building confidence in what you can do and progression to what you are capable of, giving you the opportunity to learn and develop to increase longevity of performance to your best in all aspects. Additionally, Stephanie connects the physical movement with mental health benefits which are key when returning from injury or setting yourself a physical challenge.
Stephanie’s experience stems from years spent playing and coaching sport and wellness. Following graduating from The University of Exeter with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science, Stephanie trained and qualified as a BASI ski instructor. Whilst teaching and working at Framingham college in Suffolk, Stephanie would take off to Europe in the school holidays to coach skiing. Stephanie then made this full time whilst also successfully pursuing her level 3 in skiing where she spent many seasons ski instructing in Europe and Japan. The experiences of coaching all ages and abilities in a variety of sports and environments developed her ability to assess and improve people’s movement quality and performance. This transferred to ‘off-slope” coaching and her progression in to gym focused training.
Stephanie has now years of sports specific experience of coaching young athletes, sports teams and academies for a number of different sports including hockey, cricket and tennis, she can offer and provide sport specific training and conditioning whether you are playing competitively or looking to return to or try and sport.

By focusing not only on how you look but also on how you perform, move and feel, I can guarantee you that you will see the results you desire.

Here will be a happy hub where you will be able find content and gain insight in to the blend of Fitness, Skiing, Food and Travel – some of my main excitements in this world.
‘Blaise a trail’…
…The story behind the phrase.
‘Blaise’ is my middle name and like any young child growing up, there was some embarrassment towards it. Blaise was, and still is, a rather unusual name. I even preferred my first name shortened to ‘Steph’ instead of Stephanie
Personal Training with Stephanie Blaise
I have developed a great understanding of training techniques and styles to then individualise to people depending on the desired outcome and personal goals. I aim to empower you to gain appreciation for what your body can do and aim for your potential. Optimise your movement patterns and prioritse quality whilst navigate injuries and challenges with confidence.
I look to help others enjoy their fitness and training so as to become part of your active lifestyle that can be maintained year to year. I provide support to all who I work with in all aspects of their lifestyle to benefit them in their pursuit of a healthier and happier life.
A big part of what I encourage is the inclusion of resistance training. The benefits to the body, physically as well as mentally are huge. One of my goals with training others is to educate, empower and establish the understanding of the benefits of training with and without weights.

Outdoor Coastal Fitness
Southampton
When the opportunity arises, I love to take fitness training outdoors. The coastal environment is not only beautiful, but allows for alternative and enjoyable workouts, by making use of stairs, hills, park benches and coastal promenades. Clients have the freedom to choose these outdoor sessions as part of my service, which can be done with or without equipment.
Join me and feel the benefits of outdoor, coastal fitness training – fresh air, vitamin D exposure, the sea and endless space. There are multiple benefits of being outdoors, nurtured in and by nature, for the mind as well as the body.
I own some mobile equipment that I utilise in sessions, including kettlebells, yoga mat, resistance bands and medicine balls – the rest is already there!
