No Screaming Jillian Michaels Impersonation for This Trainer

“Definitely driven”rnFor the past four years, Weisbach has owned Hard Body Personal Training, a small studio-gym in a red brick building on Lake Murray Boulevard next to the Postal Service annex. She’s been a business owner for six years and a personal trainer for 10, working full time after high school while going to San Diego State to complete her degree in kinesiology, fitness, nutrition and health. While she’s only 30–she turns 31 Monday–she got an early start on her career and, in fact, her adulthood. Independent by nature (“I want to do my own thing,” she says), she started working at 16, became emancipated from her parents at 17 and moved out on her own and then worked, finished college and became a business owner at an age when most people are barely out of school. She says she was a tomboy growing up in El Cajon, always active, riding skateboards, playing softball and wanting to be the star. “I was definitely driven,” she recalls. So she was still looking to improve–even after playing varsity softball, basketball and volleyball–when she joined a 24-Hour Fitness gym and was assigned a personal trainer. After watching her go through the program, the gym’s manager recruited Stacia (pronounced STAY-sha) to become a trainer herself. She went through training, got some experience and was on her way. “Definitely, after the first year of being able to retain clients, and being somewhat successful at it, I decided that that was what I was going to do,” she says. “I knew when I graduated that I would want to start my own business.” http://lamesa.patch.com/articles/no-screaming-jillian-michaels-impersonation-for-this-personal-trainer
