Coaches Spotlight: Meet Stephanie Frykberg| S3:ep6

Stephanie Frykberg is a Reno-based personal trainer, nutrition coach, and IFBB Pro who coaches clients ranging from beginners to Hyrox athletes and bodybuilders. Her approach centers on individualized programming, sustainable habits, and making fitness support real life instead of taking it over.

What makes her coaching stand out

Stephanie’s biggest message is that there is no one-size-fits-all method. She emphasizes meeting people where they are, building plans around their goals and lifestyle, and helping them stay consistent long enough to actually see progress. That perspective came through clearly when she talked about how the best program is not always the most aggressive one, but the one a client can truly follow.

She also brings a strong competitor’s perspective to the coaching side. Having competed for about nine years and gone pro a couple of years ago, she understands what it takes to prepare for the stage, but she is equally energized by helping someone else step into that experience for the first time.

Key Takeaways

A major theme in the episode is confidence. Stephanie said her favorite coaching moments are when clients realize they are capable of more than they believed, and she described how meaningful it was to watch a first-time competitor gain confidence on stage after months of preparation. That story captures how she sees coaching as more than training and macros; for her, it is about helping people become stronger, healthier, and more confident in every area of life.
