 Stephanie
Campbell founded Stroller Mamas Fitness, LLC in
2005. She is a former elementary school teacher
with a Masters in her area. She was an athlete
prior to becoming a mom, competing and coaching
gymnastics, training for numerous road races and
triathlons and competing in the Marine Corps
Marathon in Washington DC. After giving birth to
her first son, she continued an active lifestyle,
but found it difficult to go to the gym or exercise
at home. Scheduling conflicts and daycare issues
always prevented a workout. Soon she hit the road
with her baby and her stroller and began a daily
walking routine. Knowing that a cardio workout
alone was not enough, she began incorporating
strength training exercises into the routine.
Stephanie soon realized there were
no programs available on Long Island that allowed
moms to workout with their babies, and thus the
Stroller Mamas Fitness (SMF) program was born. She
obtained her Group Fitness Certification through the
National Endurance and Sports Trainer Association
and began developing a full-body workout that
involved the stroller and child into the workout. Stephanie
is mom to Jackson and Luke.
