Hey there, I'm Stiz Santosa, a born-and-raised New Yorker with a story that's as dynamic as the city itself. Despite being an athlete all my life, participating in swimming competitions, winning an NYC handball tournament, and securing a track medal, I found myself in a place I never thought I would—a place of self-neglect and toxicity.
It took putting my journey out there on social media for me to realize the profound impact my story could have. The response was overwhelming, especially from fellow women who had walked similar paths. Knowing that I helped them open up and take control of their lives fueled a newfound purpose within me.
Determined to break free from toxic relationships that held me back, I made a conscious decision to prioritize myself and my well-being. The shift was significant, leading me to pursue a career as a personal trainer. Tired of self-sabotage and unhappiness, I launched a women's empowering Booty Fit Camp, where I shared my knowledge on lower body workouts and helped women build not just physical strength but also confidence.
My journey took a thrilling turn with the participation in two Spartan Races, which I not only undertook but conquered. Today, I engage in one-on-one training sessions, splitting my time between Equinox and private coaching sessions.
The transformations didn't stop there. Now, proudly representing brands like C4 Energy, Cellucor, XTEND, and Blink Gym, I've found my place in the fitness industry. From being featured in published articles to gracing the pages of a fitness online editorial, my story is a testament to the power of change.
As my narrative unfolds on www.behindbodybuilders.com, I aim to inspire others, showing them that no matter where you start, a transformative journey is always within reach.
