It's been a year! I've been working out with Stacia and am down 16 inches overall and -25 pounds. Stacia is direct, practical and encouraging. The studio is just right, no frills but everything you need. Stacia keeps the workouts challenging yet accessible. She watches for any limitations/injuries/needs you might have and offers modifications as needed. Looking forward to keeping at it! read more

When I spoke with Stacia over the phone, she was incredibly rude, condescending, and made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking questions. Totally unprofessional attitude for someone representing a business. To make matters worse, the prices were outrageously high for what's being offered. Between the attitude and the cost, I can't in good faith recommend this place to anyone. There are far better options out there with respectful staff/owner and reasonable rates. read more

I was in pretty bad shape. Not just my body, but my mental health was wrecked. In October 2022 I started strength training with Stacia and it has changed my life. Not only have a lost 16 lbs of fat but I've gained muscle and completely transformed my body from head to toe. Every month I was stronger and I would leave the gym with less anxiety and depression that left me feeling stable through the week. Stacia worked with all my issues about diets and got me on track with a method that works for me. She masterfully helped me meet my goals while setting me on a path of success outside of the gym. I have never felt so good about myself in my entire life. If you need help getting in shape (mind and body) you won't regret joining SD Hard Body. Bonus you get to rub Miranda's belly every day -she's the resident gym pup! read more

Stacia is very knowledgeable and an amazing trainer. She is so good with listening and not making you feel pressured. I've had pain in my elbow from a broken arm when I was younger, and I was always uncomfortable and found that my arm hurt while lifting. Stacia helped me heal my elbow pain within 3 months! She makes training fun. I always looked forward to my workouts at Hard Body! read more

Stacia really put my fitness journey on the right track when I started 3 months ago. I was 9 months post partum when I started and I had already tried getting back into working out on my own, which I ended up injuring myself. Stacia forced me to take it slow to make sure I was able to build up my strength before getting back into the things I enjoyed like running and swimming. At the time, I was having trouble even carrying my son to the car, now I can carry him with one hand, all of the toddler things, and hold on to the dog leash without fear of injuring myself because I know I'm strong enough. Stacia is real with you - and that personality isnt for everyone. So if you want someone who is going to sugar coat things, give you a "lose weight quick" plan, and have you doing an hour of cardio, then this isnt the place for you. This is the place where you will need to be patient with yourself and trust the process, because the outcome may not be what you had in mind when you start (like losing 50 lbs) but you'll come out with much more (like strength, the skills to work out on your own, fat loss & muscle build, and proper nutrition). read more

I was looking for a trainer for my teenage daughter to work out, with staying home for months because of the Corona virus, she was feeling really down. I messaged Hard Body and very shortly Danielle replied and my daughter has been working out for about 3 weeks and is loving it. Danielle is so caring and motivating, she has really helped my daughter with her eating, exercising and self confidence. She is so accommodating and goes above and beyond. My daughter feels so comfortable with her and really likes her style of training. Her prices are so reasonable and she gives a really good workout. I highly recommend her. read more

The best trainer and person both professionally and personally! I highly recommend Hard Body PT to anyone that wants to achieve their goals. expect high accountability with no sugar coating! exactly my style!! read more

I came to hard body after trying a CrossFit type gym for a year that left me so beyond exhausted I literally couldn't function the rest of the day. I would think after a full year my body would get use to it and it was just to intense for me personally.. I found hard body and Stacia was amazing and worked with my schedule I see her twice a week and the workouts are definitely NOT easy! The difference is that she checks my heart rate often and when it's high I get a chance to bring it back down before starting the next exercise which my body took way better liking to. She is very thorough in stretching me out at the end of the session too almost like a mini muscle message which did wonders for my bones and muscles. And if you are a dog lover like I am.. she has the sweetest pug who comes around during cool down and stretches with ya .. I highly recommend hard body. read more

I have been working out at hard body since 2011. The owner Stacia is an amazing person and really takes the time to tailor the workout to suit each clients needs. I've also been working out with Danielle for the past two years, who is another awesome personal trainer. I'm constantly being challenged with my workout and we are always switching things up, so there is never a dull moment. Both my personal trainers are flexible with schedule, never late, very personable, and professional. Joining hard body was one of the best things I've ever done! read more

Hard Body Personal Training - Thanks Stacia for the Hardbody shirts! Mallory couldn't wait to put hers on. - Trainers Near Me - La Mesa, California

I honestly could not be happier I made the choice to come to Hardbody Personal Training. Stacia is everything she promises to be with no BS and no quick fix pretend to be trendy secrets. She is real, she is authentic, and she will work your butt off. I've had great results in my first 2 months and I have no plans to stop any time soon. read more

Great place to workout, Stacia is very knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, weight loss. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get fit.

I called to inquire about Hard Body's services and spoke with Stacia. I was looking into a personal trainer for myself, my wife, and daughter. Before I could explain what we were looking to accomplish I was 'educated' on how everyone else operates wrong and told that if I was looking for a "quick session where someone works you hard then sends you home" this was not the place for us. Stacia then asked about our budget, and I explained I have seen a wide range of prices and wanted to know what her rates were. She continued to berate other gyms and 'explain' to me how they work and that if that wasn't in my budget, hers was not the gym for me. This was before she even told me her pricing. I felt Stacia was very condescending and didn't seem too interested in taking on any new clients. I did eventually get the pricing out of her, which was going to be a minimum of $2300 per month for the three of us with a mandatory 3 sessions a week. They do not offer package deals. I think we'll find another gym. We're not good enough for Stacia, just ask her. read more

I've had such a wonderful experience at Hard Body Personal Training! I started working out with Danielle 2x a week because I got really sedentary over the last 2 years (surprise!!) and started getting chronic hip and back pain in my 30's. Within weeks I had already decreased my body fat + measurements, and my pain completely went away. I love the small group setting here - it still feels so personal and I love that Danielle remembers all my body quirks and creates custom workouts for my exact needs. I never feel self-conscious and the environment is very supportive and down to earth. I absolutely recommend working out here! read more

This review is long overdue. I have been fortunate enough to have Stacia as a friend and trainer for 7 years. During that span, Stacia has provided inspiration, wisdom, and support that saw me through a heart attack and my bipolar disorder at its worst. The approach of Stacia and her staff encourages participants to enhance their overall fitness by providing a facility for strength and flexibility training while also providing nutrition and cardio goals. As a trainer, Stacia has never wrecked me in a session. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Always. As for Stacia my friend, let me say that her voice and opinions have been instrumental in helping me achieve and surpass my personal fitness goals. If you decide to make a change for the better, I assure you that the Hard Body staff will be able to assist you on your journey. read more

Stacia is amazing personal trainer. I was having issues with my health and pain in my joints. It's only been two weeks and I feel stronger and in better health. If you want better health and physical fitness for your lifestyle, Stacia is it! read more

Creating Little Miracles In July of 2010, I married the man of my dreams and naturally wanted to take the next step and have children. We tried and suffered a miscarriage. My doctor informed me that my weight at the time was one cause to our infertility and my PCOS. I was distraught, I couldn't believe I let it get this bad--I thought I killed my dreams of becoming a mother. In January of 2011, I found Stacia. Slowly but surely, with her guidance and support I was able to lose the weight I needed, in fact I felt better than I ever had. With Stacia's help I was able to lose 50 pounds, 20 inches and start working with my infertility doctor. In April of 2013, I gave birth to a little miracle. In the end, we didn't even need the infertility treatments, we did it on our own--well on our own and with the help of Stacia. She definitely changed my life! I returned to the gym when my little guy was under a year, and despite all those lovely cannot's and never will be able to's the doctors had told me....once again shortly after returning to the Hardbody with Stacia...I was shocked to find myself blessed to be pregnant again. Something about exercise with all the components aligned and relaxing. In October of 2014, our daughter was born, thanks to the work of my trainer. Back at it in July of 2015, now it's all about being around for those babies long-term. read more

I have spent almost 3 yrs with Stacia, she is a fantastic trainer! She is always supportive and receptive to my fitness/health needs. If you want a Jillian Michael's up in your face yelling at you, Stacia is not the right trainer for you. She will push you when you need it and will praise you for your effort. She will give you the tools to succeed but you obviously have to LISTEN! She is flexible with appt times/days and can train you with other clients for a reduced fee. I have trained with Stacia throughout my pregnancy up until my 38th week and returned to training a month after I delivered. She was very attentive to my special needs during pregnancy, watching my HR and diet, etc. I work as a nurse and before I trained with Stacia I used to have horrible aching legs after my 12-hr shift, not to mention the back aches. After training, my legs and back are so much stronger and no longer ache like they used to. Not only have I gained strength and health but I've also gained a friend and a valuable resource! The previous review is from at least 9 yrs ago, I'd leave the exact same review today. I had to stop training for a bit due to some financial hardship but I keep going back to Stacia. Most recently I went back to help improve all my aches and pains from not keeping up with the strength training. It really makes a huge difference in my day to day life and my work as a registered nurse. I probably would have frequent injuries if not for the strength I gained while training with Stacia. Thank You Stacia! read more

Saved My Life: In December of 2008, my doctor informed me that I was overweight and pre-diabetic. If that wasn't enough, she also informed me that I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My first thought was I am only 35 years old, this shouldn't be happening. I lost all hope. I thought it would be impossible to reverse the damage I had already done to my body. My doctor said the only solution was diet and exercise or the management of these conditions with daily medications was inevitable. My wife had been seeing Stacia for over a year, with amazing results. So I started training with Stacia January 3rd, 2009, and have been training with her ever since. She designed a fitness and nutrition program to quickly and effectively combat my health conditions naturally. Five months later, my blood pressure was excellent (112/80), my cholesterol went down by 15 points, I was no longer pre-diabetic, my blood sugar had dropped from 110 to 90, well below the normal range, plus I'd lost over 20 pounds. My waist is now smaller than it was in high school! Being inactive most of my life, I never expected exercise to become such a huge part of my life. In addition to training with Stacia, I do yoga, and am now able to hike regularly with my wife. I must say that Stacia literally saved my life and I enthusiastically recommend her to everyone. For your overall health, well being, and beyond go to Stacia at Hard Body, she will change your life! read more

Been training with Stacia since May of 2017. I have lost 30 lbs, gained strength, and my flexibility in the past 6 months. Stacia has a program that works well with those who are older and more prone to injuries. Compared to most trainers she will not just have to start lifting heavy weights. It's is a much slower process than what I was accustomed to but in the long run it was worth it. I highly recommend Stacia especially for those who have prior injuries or who are definitely out of shape. read more

After after ACL surgery last year, I needed to find a gym where the trainer was keeping a close eye on my exercise form. I went to Hard Body on a recommendation and I'm so glad that I did! Danielle, my trainer, is very knowledgeable about exercise physiology and provides me with a challenging workout and gives me corrective feedback that prevents me from re-injuring my knee. I'm very impressed with this small gym that it big on professionalism! read more

I got very depressed during pandemic and I decided I needed to make a change. I knew I needed accountability and expertise, and I wanted to find a small, female-owned gym where I could feel comfortable. Hard Body fulfilled all these requirements plus some! Stacia and Danielle worked with me and concentrated on MY goals and not what they thought I should do. They were patient and kind about my lack of balance/coordination/strength/flexibility/knowledge - exactly what I wanted and needed. I also came in with a bad back and a recently broken foot. I felt like a huge mess, but they were so kind and only made me feel better about myself. A bonus that I got from Hard Body was the laughter and camaraderie during the sessions. Stacia has a great sense of humor and her classes went by quickly, were fun, and even tho I was working hard, it didn't really feel like it. I trusted Stacia and she never pushed my body past what it could do (I was terrified at first but she really knows what she's doing). Overall, I really loved my time at Hard Body and I fully recommend going there. P.S.- I originally could only commit to 3 months, I felt so good that I extended it to 6 months, but for financial reasons I couldn't continue. That was NEVER a problem and I was NEVER pressured to spend more than I could afford. It was really hard saying goodbye! read more

Stacia, just wanted to let you know how special you are in what you do. You have welcomed me from the beginning and never made me feel stupid... Haha.. But made me laugh when I didn't ever think I would laugh while working out. You have made 3 hours a week now SO IMPORTANT to me. Thank you for being so passionately informative and is enormously inspirational to getting fit ! YOU are the best! Look no further for getting and staying fit! read more

ONGOING RESULTS! I have been Jonna's client for 4 years. I am a mom in my 40's and when I met Jonna, I thought I was doing everything I needed to by taking the cycling and cardio classes at the gym. After I started training with her, I realized that I the aches and pains that I was starting to experience (which I was attributing to age) were really coming from dysfunctional posture. What I know now is that being in your 40's (or 50's or 60's) is not the beginning of the end. It's the beginning of the beginning. I am stronger and leaner than I have ever been in my life. I am stronger and have incredible endurance. I get stronger every year! Jonna pushes me to break through the my limits and the standard excuses of "I'm just getting older" or "every year you can expect to put on a couple of pounds." I know now that these really are just excuses that we tell ourselves. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years with Jonna bring. read more

I'm so glad that I started working with Stacia!!! She has helped me in so many ways not just fitness but my mindset!!!! I needed something to get me motivated and she DID IT!!! She is a great trainer and a very smart lady! I would definitely recommend her business to EVERYONE!!!! I used to go to a gym but I'm sticking with her my results have been amazing!!!!!' HardBodyPersonalTraining rocks!!! . read more

"I have been a client of Stacia's for 2 years at Hard Body Personal Training and am truly thankful for her knowledge, support and commitment in helping/guiding me to reaching my goals. I am truly grateful for the service and the results I am achieving. I highly recommend Stacia to all my friends, family and even perfect strangers,that I have met out in public! And already several have signed up and are enjoying the same benefits I have. I never thought I would actually look forward to a personal training,session, while reaching my goals, as well as feeling healthier and stronger every session. I plan to continue training with Stacia after reaching my goals.for the continued motivation and commitment, to push myself further than I ever thought possible! And again all made possible by Stacia at Hard Body Personal Training Kande Revetta" read more

Hard Body is a intimate environment where I can train without intimidation. Jonna is an amazing trainer who has pushed me to new levels in my fitness. I have known Jonna as a personal trainer for over 6 years and recently started training with her again. She challenges me, is knowledgeable about nutrition and the latest fitness techniques and research. Jonna brings something new to my workouts and tailors them to help me achieve my specific goals. In the past 3 months I have lost body fat, lost inches in my waist and gained muscle mass and definition. If you want to see a difference, Joanna's support and guidance will definitely help get you there! read more

Great place and very knowledgeable staff. Both Stacia and Jonna are very welcoming. I would highly recommend.

I first encountered Stacia last April when I e-mailed her and poured out my heart and told her I was a hot mess. She promptly replied and told me that hot messes were her specialty. I signed up for 8 weeks and decided I would see where I was at after that. Well, here I am almost a year later and I never want to leave. I love coming here, I love Stacia, and all the clients I have the privilege of working out with. Not only have I lost a significant amount of weight, I have gained so much more. I have found my love of life again, my confidence, and developed strength and a love/need for physical activity. Stacia takes the time to learn your strengths and weaknesses and works with you to achieve your fitness goals. I have never felt pressured or pushed beyond my capabilities, I have only felt empowered. If you are injured or are overcoming something she modifies and adjusts so that you can continue to work out yet not further injure yourself. You will not regret coming here. This place has become my mini gym family. P.S. I love you as well Chesney Hard Body :) read more

Big shout out to Hard Body Personal Training and especially my trainer Jonna Winton-Ennis. Helped me to reach my goal to get beach ready by this week. Lost close to 10 lbs and feeling strong. She gave me amazing shopping tips and helped with a meal plan that was actually pretty yummy. Punta Cana here I come!! read more

Stacia is the best, I have a degenerative disorder in my back, herniated disc in my neck and Stacia has been able to keep me from having surgery for the last five years. Not only have I gained muscle tone but better balance and stability than I had before. If you have any sort of a deterrent Stacia will work with you and knows what she's doing to make you stronger and keep you from injury. And if your healthy she'll give you a real good workout I highly recommend Hard Body! read more

If you are looking for good training....this is de place. I trained with Stacia for almost 3 years and every session was challenging and FUN. Many of the things I learned from Stacia, I use everyday and as I work out at my gym, I can hear her reminding me to concentrate on the individual muscles being worked on, tighten my core, always stretch before ending any session. Stacia also provided me with nutrition guidance , ( I thought I already knew everything.) Stacia's program works on the whole person and is creative. I did both individual sessions and partner sessions. She is really good about matching you skill with another client working toward similar goals. Even when training with several people (like at Boot Camp) I never felt like I was on my own. She takes great care. My husband trained with her also. Can't wait to resume my sessions ! See you there ! Reni Williams reniwilliams@cox,net read more

Hard Body is a positive, fun and professional environment for achieving personal fitness goals. I feel stronger and more knowledgeable about what I'm able to achieve physically. Since training with Stacia, I set a half marathon PR, and will soon complete my first sprint triathlon. Stacia also got me lifting weights, and I'm usually just a cardio gal... The strength training is a big help! Thanks, Hard Body! read more

Not sure where to begin...I called Hard Body and got matched up with Jonna. 4 months later and I couldn't be more thankful that I made the call! Both women, Jonna and Stacia are great at what they do. The knowledge and experience I have gained through working with Jonna is undeniable. My body, eating habits and lifestyle has changed and I love it! I highly recommend Hard Body as well as Jonna! I cannot wait to see where my body will be at the end of the year! Thank you Jonna!!! read more

I don't understand how anybody can feel comfortable with this rude personal trainer. She's impolite and she makes fun of her clients in front of the entire class. She did it to me countless times, so I stopped showing up even though I still had paid sessions left. I would never ever recommend her. In fact, I would tell people not to go there unless they like to be humiliated in front of strangers. read more
