Meet our Team.

EXPERTLY TRAINED:

Over 25 years ago we recognized the urgent need for a greater level of education and certification in the field of personal training. Many trainers preach the benefits of the latest fads and schemes in exercise and nutrition. Usually the trainers believe in these fads themselves.

This results in ineffective or dangerous recommendations for the trusting clientele of the trainers.

CERTIFIED TRAINERS:

As a result, at Apex we require all trainers to be degreed and certified by the highest level certification organizations that exist in our business. Apex only utilizes training methods which are extremely effective and have undergone rigorous scientific scrutiny both in the laboratory and in real world application.

We stay up to date on the latest science in the field of health and fitness to provide the best for you. Our staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Our facility is clean, and our equipment is top notch. You’ll find our training methods work extremely well.

OUR PROMISE:

We believe in our methods, and we trust that you will too.

We have been the leader in personal fitness training for over 25 years because of our clients’ success.

We invite you to try out our facility, and if you don’t believe that we have the most qualified and attentive staff possible, or that you cannot get the results that you want, then the first workout is on us.

Stephanie McKibban

Personal Trainer

Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine

Experience:

I’ve been physically active my entire life, starting with morning runs along side my dad at the age of nine. Running became my life, and since then I’ve run hundreds of races including marathons, Pikes Peak and a 50K.

In August of 2015, my passion for running came to a halt. While attending a local baseball game, I was hit in the head by a line drive foul ball. After two surgeries and time to heal, running was going to be out of the question for a long while. I needed to find something that would fill that running void.

During my healing I discovered weight lifting and fell in love with it. I had dabbled in weights before, but never knew what to do or why. I couldn’t do too much cardio, so I thought this would be the answer. It was! I filled that void and also learned how to live a healthier lifestyle with loving food.

I knew I wanted that for other people! So, I enrolled to become a personal trainer! I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. What started as a hobby and void-filler became something more. So! Enough about me! With my passion for helping others, I want to help YOU reach your fitness and lifestyle goals.

Interests:

I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, fitness and nutrition, and watching baseball, cooking and spending time outdoors.

I finished high school with High Academic Honors, Honorable Mention Basketball, and All State in the Long Jump and Triple jump. I am the current school record holder in the Triple Jump at Bishop Carroll Catholic High School. At Friends University, I was a four-year Academic All American, All-Conference Triple and Long Jumper, and member of KCAC Men’s basketball Championship and National Tournament Qualifier.

I love working with others and sharing my previous experiences to help them achieve a goal both mentally and physically. My work experience includes six years of training experience.

ACE Certified Personal Trainer

Experience:

I have always viewed physical activity and exercise as a gift I give myself, the gift of time spent disconnecting from the world or time spent connecting with friends. My activity of choice has been running. I call this ‘run therapy.’ Over the last 20 years, I have run more half marathons than I can remember, yet it wasn’t until nine years ago that I decided to train for and run my first marathon.

After my first marathon, I was hooked. Since that time, I have qualified for and run in the Boston Marathon five times, traveled and run marathons in cities/states such as New York, Big Sur,; Seattle; St. George, Utah; Phoenix; Texas; and Pike’s Peak. In addition to running, I enjoy yoga and strength training, and I believe the combination of these two activities is sure to keep me strong, healthy and able to run for many more years.

However, more than any finisher medal, what I treasure and value the most are the true, vibrant, life-long friendships I have made while training, preparing and running each race. Running to me is about the people you meet along the way that enrich and change your life.

I hope to share my experience, passion and love for all different forms of physical activity and exercise, and provide motivation for others to transform and enrich their lives.
