If your event is lucky enough to have Pauline
Stephens as one of its speakers, she will delight
your audience with her warm personality, excellent
presentation skills and her ability to prepare large
quantities of delicious dishes. Pauline has a natural
grace and concern for others that comes across in
both her cooking and her teaching. I would highly
recommend her to present at any event related to
food or health.

During a time when I was between my undergraduate
and graduate school studies, I was fortunate
enough to be a student in Pauline’s classes in RVA.
Every Tuesday night, I looked forward to the
energetic and vibrant classes. Pauline never
failed when it came to music. From SOCA to Afrobeat,
Pauline matched the music to the workout course.
Barre Bootcamp was by far my favorite class. Pauline
crafted this class in a way that challenged every
individual in the room. You will get an intense
and accomplishing workout. All in all, Pauline is a
knowledgable and lively instructor that will surely
make your workout worth your while.

Working with Pauline has been a life changing
experience. I have learned how to take care of my
body in an entirely different way. People only think
taking care of your body is working out
consecutively. No, it starts with what's on your plate.
You have to know what you are eating and how you
are consuming it. Pauline has taught me how to
manage all of that, and I'm very grateful to have
met her. She changed my life and I now love my
body more than ever.
Allison
I did it! Finally.......diet, hard work at the gym,
countless spin classes and many-many treadmill
miles finally paid off. ...7 months: 130 pounds (59kg)
lost, 10 pant sizes, shirt size from XXXL to L
(or even M). Huge thanks to my ride instructor
Pauline Stephens. Cycling is part of my life now.
Sometimes I feel that my stationary bike will take
off and I'll go straight into that mirror wall in front
of me.
Igor
I know Pauline from her Barre and Abs classes and
without any doubts those are my absolute favorite.
Her routines change with every class which keeps it
interesting. When something is too challenging she
always shows alternatives. She is a beautiful person
who cares about her students. Pauline never forgets
to ask how our week is going...she's a great teacher!
I'm not going to lie, her classes are tough, but I see
results pretty fast!
Bara
Pauline is an absolute gem! Her upbeat passion for
fitness has helped so much in restoring confidence in
myself as well as helping me go above and beyond in
my fitness goals and expectations. Before barre and
yoga, I never thought I could love fitness and working
out, but with Pauline's help, I finally feel confident,
happy, healthy and sexy!
Amanda
Pauline is an excellent cook and is always striving to
improve and learn new techniques. She puts her all
into whatever endeavor she undertakes. She is full of
energy and enthusiasm and imparts that to those
around her. I am sure Pauline will succeed in all of her
future undertakings. I would recommend her as a
fitness instructor and a ‘foodie’ to anyone.
Lois
I recognize a passion in Pauline for spreading her
knowledge of fitness and wellness to everyone.
Being a great motivator, Pauline makes me strive to
do more than I thought I could do.
