“My Dad’s “Go Hard or Go Home” approach to fitness left me a bit injured. My hero? Estefania Fierro, the coach who helped me be healthier.
Growing up, fitness was the family mantra. My Dad’s mindset was, if you workout with high-volume strength and cardio, then you can eat anything and stay healthy for life. He instilled in me the “more is better” philosophy. Yet, years of pushing myself to the limit without proper health, training and recovery took a toll. My body ached, injuries flared, and the joy of movement faded making my training more inconsistent.
That’s around the time that I met Estefania. Initially she was an instructor to a master like swim class. But she quickly became my fitness coach and accountability partner. My goal? Shed the weight and reclaim my health to be the best dad I could be.
Estefania wasn’t just about reps and sets. She revolutionized my approach to fitness. She taught me the “why” behind the workout: the connection between food choices, daily activity, and long-term goals. She emphasized mobility, strength training, and the crucial importance of recovery.
But most importantly, she taught me this: “workouts should challenge you, but leave you feeling empowered, not depleted”. Which has left me wondering, who knows had I met her sooner, perhaps my fitness journey would have been far less painful.
Today, Estefania is more than my coach; she’s a friend. Her guidance has transformed me. I’m stronger, healthier, and most importantly, happy to move my body.
So, if you’re tired of feeling burnt out and frustrated with your health, do yourself a favor: talk to Estefania. You won’t regret a single step.”

“Working with Estefania was one of the best things I did for my health and fitness. As someone who regularly does Pilates and cardio, I was looking to step up my routine and build muscle in a different way. She guided me and taught me the correct form, helped me through my lower back pain by providing modifications for different exercises, and encouraged me to lift heavier in a safe way – all from the comfort of my home gym.
My mobility, flexibility, and strength all increased over time, and I now find myself in the best shape I’ve ever been. After finishing our sessions, I am now equipped with the knowledge and confidence to strength train on my own.”

“I have been training with Estefania for more than four years. in that time I have gained more muscle mass and stamina than ever in my life, even as a young athlete. Having worked with other trainers, one particularity of her workouts is they feel easy, doable; until the next day when you can’t move and know you’re making muscle. Oh yeah, she also saved my life.”

“When I decided to do a physique competition, I hired Estefania as a posing coach. When I say I was starting at ground zero, I really meant I was below ground. I had absolutely no idea how to go about this. In 5 months, I went from not wanting to be in my bathing suit, falling off of my hight heels, to doing two figure competitions, able to walk and pose in front of everyone. I couldn’t have done it without her. She gave me the skills and confidence I needed to get over my fears about the whole process really.”

“My daughter has had at least 6 swimming teachers in her life (UM and Ransom). Miss Estefania has been the best of all! She is very professional in all aspects, very detailed and with such amazing energy!
My daughter has made big progress with her, and she loves her classes so much! She is great addressing children, and we can communicate either in English or Spanish. We recommend her swimming classes 100%!”

“I was absolutely thrilled with Estefania’s personalized approach as my trainer and nutritionist. From a training perspective, one of the most important things for me was to have a customized plan that worked for me and carefully considered where I was and where I wanted to be. My training plan was designed expertly, and I am not overstating when I say it changed my life!
In addition to training, her expertise in nutrition is clearly reflected in her up-to-date knowledge of current science and research, ensuring an integrative and personalized approach for each client.
No matter where you are starting and where you would like to be, Estefania will be the expert guide to get you there.”
