🔥TRAINER SPOTLIGHT: STEPH SCHRADER🔥
Steph has been part of the Kosama family for years, so we were SO excited when she finally joined the trainer team!
Steph is always pushing herself in workouts and challenging herself to see just how heavy she can lift. 💪 But what we love just as much is how intentional she is about proper form. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help make sure you’re moving safely and getting the most out of your workout.
And you’ll pretty much always find Steph with a smile on her face! She’s the kind of workout buddy who makes you want to work a little harder while also having a whole lot of fun doing it. 🩵
Whether she’s challenging you, correcting your form, cheering you on, or just making you laugh, Steph brings so much to our team and our KOSAMA community.
We’re SO lucky to have you, Steph! 😊
