Whether you’re looking to develop lean muscle mass, support your mental health through hormonal shifts, or reduce excess body weight – Dr. Simone curates evidence-based, customized fitness plans that are tailored to meet the needs and objectives of her clients.

Every functional fitness program begins with a comprehensive initial assessment. This hour-long initial evaluation includes:

  • Lifestyle

  • Body composition testing (through InBody)

  • Health history

  • Personal stressors  

  • Current fitness level 

  • Exercise preferences

  • Family medical history

  • Unique circumstances

  • Diet & nutritional status

  • Fitness & wellness goals 

After considering all of these factors, Dr. Simone Sturm — a functional medicine specialist and NASM-certified personal trainer — formulates a fitness plan that’s expertly tailored to your body and needs.

Dr. Simone has 16+ years of experience as a holistic doctor specializing in functional medicine and women’s health. She therefore brings extensive experience to every fitness program she creates. 

Intentionally combining corrective exercises (when necessary) for injury prevention with goal-oriented exercises and drills, Dr. Simone will help you achieve your fullest health potential in a way that’s enjoyable, safe, and designed for your specific body.
