Stacey Sorgen Coaching — Local services in Seattle

I've been involved in a lot of different athletic programs and gyms over the years. I've had coaches who pushed me too hard and too fast and unfortunately, it led to injury and this feeling of getting 5 steps ahead just to fall 10 steps back. Many of these gyms and coaches made the movement about punishing my body for what I ate or how I looked and as I came to realize that I needed something different, an internet search brought me to Stacey. Stacey Sorgen is HAES aligned, weight neutral, and is just refreshing. There is no mention of intentional weight loss, no body shaming, and there's no space for a lot of what you'll hear in gyms - self deprecating humor, etc. I've enjoyed her 10 week Strength Camp program where we just focus on getting stronger, more balanced, more confident and comfortable in our skin. She's been coaching people for 15 years and it shows. She's down to earth and professional and personable - but a real person. I actually like the variety of people who join in - all shapes, sizes, ages, genders, backgrounds, ability levels - everyone is welcome and accepted for exactly who they are. It's a safe little container and corner of the internet where I can finally listen to my body, have a coach who really truly cares and adapts movement to best suit my needs (and everyone else's) and I can totally be myself. Now I just feel 10 steps ahead and stronger than I have in...

OMG - I cannot say enough good things about Stacey and her commitment to community and support for her clients!

She's truly a breath of fresh air in a world where wellness is equated to your weight on a scale. I had done a fair amount of body positivity work before working with her but she has helped me to go even further in developing the ability to listen to my body and ignore those outside voices (on social media and even family members).

I feel amazing and am stronger physically (and mentally) after working with her over most of this past year. Enough that I have signed up to hike a somewhat strenuous trail for 10 days. Wish me luck 😆 Without this past work with Stacey, it wouldn’t have even been a consideration.

Plus the community in her Strength Camp has been such a delight to be a part of! I love that I can roll out of bed to join class and don’t have to get in a car. Just pop on Zoom and 50 mins later, I’ve completed my workout for the day. If you have issues with a certain exercise, she’s got another one to suggest that may work better.

One other thing that I want to mention is Stacey’s dedication to social justice and community care. She offers scholarships and sliding scale pricing, multiple ways to pay as well. She’ll work to help anyone interested to figure out what would work best for them. She is someone that I am proud to call a friend not just...

My partner and I have been working with Stacey for several months. I specifically sought her out because I was looking for a personal trainer who was body positive and modified movement based on how I was feeling. I've had a trainer in the past who wanted me to push harder, drop weight, and perform at an energy/intensity level like other clients. Stacey sees me for who I am. She is warm, positive, and understanding. I am not someone who typically * wants * to work out, but I like seeing her and I often leave feeling more accomplished than I did when I arrived. When I'm stressed about life, she adjusts her plan so we can focus on breathing, balance, and feeling strong. When I'm feeling good and energetic, she encourages me to test my boundaries in gentle, safe ways. I cannot recommend Stacey or ModBody...
