Training Philosophy:

Exercise has helped me to be happy with myself inside and out and I hope to help you feel the same way. When you start dropping your body fat percentage and going down in pants sizes, it makes you feel like you can accomplish anything! That’s what I work hard to do for my clients - believe me it is possible to accomplish your goals if you are willing to work hard at them. I have always been fit, but since I started working here at Merritt Athletic Clubs I lost 10 pounds, dropped 4% body fat and dropped 2 dress sizes. All it takes is a little hard work and some motivation to reach your fitness goals.

What Her Client's Say...

“In June of 2010, I joined Eldersburg Merritt Athletic Club. A friend got me to try the 7 day free trial. I went every day of those 7 free days and brought my kids - they loved the pool the best. I decided to join right afterward, because I wanted to lose about 5 lbs of
fat, gain some muscle and do some much needed toning. After about 6 weeks, I decided to get a personal trainer’s help to show me what I had to do to make the changes I wanted. I started training with Stephanie once a week for several months. I noticed within the first month of training that I was starting to tone plus coming to see her was helping me get motivated to work-out on a regular basis. I never liked working out when I was younger, but now I look forward to it! I average coming to the gym anywhere from 3-5 days per week, every week. I could not have done all this without Stephanie. I continue to this day to see her every week or every other week. Stephanie is a great person to train with and I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks me where they can find an awesome trainer! -Jennifer McDonnell

“I have been training with Stephanie Carrigo at Eldersburg Merritt Athletic Club for the last year two times per week. I have loved every minute of it! She is fantastic to work with. Stephanie has just the right amount of enthusiasm without being intimidating.
She has realistic expectations, but also pushes me to be better every time we meet. She has been with me through frustrating plateaus and she is always positive and encouraging. Stephanie has also helped me with making dietary adjustments and giving me new recipes to try. With her help I’ve lost 25 pounds and a total of 35 inches. I’m also down 3 clothing sizes. I still would like to lose 50 more pounds and I look forward to the journey with her.” -Tracy Tambaoan

“I met Stephanie Carrigo when I was considering a personal trainer and I was given a chance to meet and try a trainer. That was about 5 years ago and I still train with Stephanie. I have multiple sclerosis which has
caused mobility issues, but Stephanie helps me to build muscle where I have become weak; she never
lets me feel like I cannot get stronger. Stephanie is a great trainer, a wonderful personal and a good friend. I would recommend Stephanie as a trainer.” -Tammy K
