Stephanie G

For Steph, boxing has always been personal. Brooklyn-born and Italian, she’s related to Golden Glove pro “Cannonball Willie” and grew up ringside with her dad and grandpa from the age of six. A natural southpaw, she holds her NASM certification alongside a master’s in nutrition and additional training in yoga and barre — a combination that informs how thoughtfully she coaches. Outside the gym she works as a flavor chemist, is a proud boy mom, and shares her home with two huskies and two cats. She was named after Stevie Nicks. She has been managing chronic Lyme disease for four years, and does so with the same quiet resilience that defines everything she brings to class.
