    What really sets STO apart is the group support. Having people encourage you, cheer you on, and walk this fitness journey with you keeps you motivated and accountable. It honestly makes working out more fun and something I actually look forward to instead of dread.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Coach Christina and her team have helped people with issues as difficult as being wheel chair bound and breathing from an oxygen tank, to as easy as having no medical issues. No matter what you’re facing, you deserve to have support too!

  • Having pre-diabetes means your body has started a lifelong progression of resisting insulin. Simply taking out bread is not enough and will end with you feeling really discouraged. We’ve seen, through hundreds of success stories, that fully engaging in a supportive exercise, nutrition, and blood sugar management plan has the best outcomes towards preventing diabetes.

  • Coach Christina and Lead Dietitian, Kelsie, both live with type 1 diabetes and understand the nuances. They also do continuing education on exercise, nutrition, and T1D. You’re in good hands. :)

  • Coach Christina and Coach Debbie have a combined 20 years of experience working with adults in person and online. Through the accredited Functional Movement Screen you’ll do on day 1, they’ll never ask you to perform an exercise you can’t do safely and they’re very skilled at making sure you have proper form.

  • You don’t need any equipment to workout! Anything you do have will enhance your experience by giving you more options. Check out our Home Gym Shop for guidance.

  • Most dietitian services, if not all, may be covered by your insurance! Personal training with us is more affordable than anywhere else at $45-$55 per session depending on how many times per week you are training. We’re able to charge less because of our semi-private model!

  • Nope! You can cancel anytime completely on your own. No hard feelings. Although, we’re pretty confident you’ll love it here and won’t want to go!

    Instructions on How to Cancel

  • Most of your workouts will be completed live, on Zoom, in a small group environment. If you live near Orlando Florida, Coach Christina and Coach Debbie will meet with you monthly for in person sessions.

  • We offer session times as early as 6:15 AM EST and as late as 6 PM EST. Anytime a client’s schedule makes it impossible for them to make a scheduled time slot, we take new requests into consideration. We never want time to be why someone can’t show up for their workouts.

  • One of the best parts about working out virtually is that we love working out while traveling! You can workout straight from your hotel room with no equipment. And if you’re travel plans won’t allow for working out, you can makeup the missed sessions when you come back!
