Stiva Smith
Live Your Best Life

Born and raised in Indiana, I had an interest in health, fitness, and nutrition from an early age. However, it was not until I took a look at myself at age 20 and saw I needed to make a change. I lost over 30 pounds and knew I wanted to help others through this process. Later, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a personal trainer, going to school to receive my bachelor's degree as a single mother.
​
After qualifying for my first group exercise certification for teaching yoga back in 2004; I quickly earned by my first personal training certification. Since that time, I’ve always been teaching classes and/or training individuals who want to learn, work hard, and achieve what they could not on their own. Additionally, since graduating from Ball State in 2010, I have worked in this industry as a co-manager, a general manager, and as a personal trainer/ group instructor in various facilities.
It is my passion to make the long-awaited goals of my dear clients to reach the size, weight (body composition), and look of those who have tried and could not attain their goals on their own.


My Journey
Stiva Personally
In addition to my career, I have several other passions that I love to share with people. I grew up with horses and have been able to share this passion with my daughter as she grew up. I am now able to share this with others and give lessons on our horse Bella.
​
When I am not in the gym or the barn, you can find me on the dance floor. Another passion is social dancing. I started with Salsa, Bachata, and Tango and I now primarily dance a style called Kizomba.
My extroverted personality loves meeting and connecting with new people wherever I can and I would love the next one to be YOU!
