Stephanie M Peltier

“Hometown: Jamestown, RI
Favorite Junk Food: Fried Chicken
About me: It takes a lot of patience, commitment and dedication to reach the top of one’s profession. In addition, it is very difficult to keep one at that level year after year. With that being said, Stephanie has been developing custom workout programs for individuals as well as groups for over 10 years. Her success is largely due to her simple exercises which produce immediate results.

Her clients range from Division 1 Athletes who strive each year to break-through last year’s performance, or Business Professionals who were once athletes that want more of a balance between health, fitness and work life or an individual just learning for the first time how to exercise and appreciate their health. Because of her long list of achievements, Stephanie talks and lives fitness everyday of her life. She fell in love with fitness and now wants to share her love with others who also have the drive and aspiration to become a stronger, motivated and better version of themselves. When she is not working with clients, Stephanie is behind the scenes as she also serves as the Operations Manager at VP Fitness.

“I would recommend VP because it’s a professional environment where people come to work on themselves and become a better version of themselves. We know fitness!”
