Meet The Team
Director of Recovery & Personal Training
Dr. Stefanie Pollard, DPT
Stefanie is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, earning her degree from Stony Brook University in 2022, along with a Master of Science in Exercise Science from Long Island University, Brooklyn, and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from SUNY Cortland. She is also a Certified Exercise Specialist in Pregnancy and Postpartum, allowing her to provide highly specialized care across the full continuum of a woman’s life—from early adulthood through midlife and beyond.
Her work is centered on supporting women through the evolving demands of their bodies, with a particular focus on midlife health, longevity, and resilience. Stefanie takes a proactive, informed approach to helping women maintain strength, support bone density, improve pelvic health, and move with confidence through phases such as perimenopause, postpartum recovery, and beyond.
With over five years of experience across both personal training and physical therapy, Stefanie brings a sophisticated and comprehensive clinical lens. Her background in orthopedics, pediatrics, skilled nursing, and acute rehabilitation allows her to seamlessly support clients managing injuries, chronic pain, or simply seeking to feel stronger, more capable, and more at ease in their bodies.
Her approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and delivered through a highly personalized, one-on-one experience. She looks beyond symptoms to identify the root cause, designing thoughtful, results-driven programs that prioritize long-term health, functional strength, and sustainable progress.
Stefanie’s connection to this work is deeply personal. As a former basketball and gymnastics athlete, her own experience with injury and rehabilitation shaped her understanding of both the physical and emotional complexities of healing. This perspective informs the level of care, precision, and empathy she brings to every client relationship.
She believes that true wellness is built over time—through consistency, education, and intentional movement. Her goal is to help women not only recover, but thrive—feeling strong, supported, and confident in their bodies at every stage of life.
Clients often describe working with Stefanie as an elevated, deeply supportive experience—one where they feel seen, understood, and guided with clarity and purpose.
Outside of her clinical work, Stefanie enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and maintaining the lifestyle that continues to inspire her passion for movement and longevity.
Personal Trainer
Ron Arboleda
As a NASM-certified personal trainer since 2022, holding advanced certifications in osteoporosis training, golf performance, and balance, I provide a highly specialized approach to strength and movement, focusing distinctly on supporting midlife women through the physiological changes of perimenopause and beyond.
My work is designed to help women build and maintain lean muscle, support bone density, enhance stability, and move with confidence and control. I take a thoughtful, informed approach that prioritizes longevity, ensuring every session contributes not only to how you look and perform today but how you feel and function for years to come.
My foundation in fitness began through jiu-jitsu, where I developed a deep understanding of body mechanics, control, and performance. This experience informs my coaching style, bringing a refined awareness of how the body adapts, responds, and strengthens with the right guidance.
I specialize in developing strength that translates seamlessly into everyday life—improving balance, mobility, and resilience while reducing injury risk. Each program is highly personalized, grounded in functional movement, and designed to meet the body’s evolving needs with precision and care.
My approach is to create an environment where clients feel both safe, challenged, and empowered. The goal is not simply progress, but transformation that is sustainable, empowering, and deeply aligned with long-term health.
Outside of the studio, I continue to train in jiu-jitsu and expand my knowledge in technology and coding—driven by a commitment to continuous growth, precision, and mastery in all areas of life.
Personal Trainer
Rooted in a lifelong passion for fitness and nutrition, my work delivers a highly personalized, elevated approach to strength and wellness. I specialize in guiding women over 50 to rediscover their strength, refine their movement, and embody confidence with intention and ease.
I am a certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, with advanced training in weight loss medications and stretching and flexibility. My expertise allows me to create thoughtful, results-driven programs that honor both the body’s capabilities and its evolution over time.
My approach centers on functional strength, improved mobility, and a mindset that supports sustainable transformation. I believe true wellness is not only about how you move, but how you feel in your body—strong, capable, and empowered. Nutrition is an integral part of this philosophy, serving as the foundation for both performance and long-term vitality.
Every session is designed to be intentional, supportive, and refined—meeting you exactly where you are, while guiding you toward your highest level of strength and confidence.
Outside of the studio, I enjoy hiking, strength training, reading, creating new recipes, and spending meaningful time with my family.
