Stefanie Tsengas on Fitness Beyond the Physical

We sit down with certified personal, strength, and lifestyle coach Stefanie Tsengas to talk about her journey from multi-sport athlete to bodybuilder, becoming a trainer in college, and launching her business full-time in Cleveland. We get honest about the realities of personal training — the long hours, entrepreneurship grind, burnout, and the importance of setting boundaries. We also unpack why January motivation fades, how to move away from the all-or-nothing mindset (yes, including 75 Hard), and how to build sustainable fitness systems that actually last. From realistic scheduling and intention-driven workouts to navigating social media comparison, hormones, recovery, and nutrition — this episode is practical, candid, and unfiltered, with plenty of laughs along the way.
