More Than a Workout: 11 Years of Studio Physique
Since opening in St. Petersburg 11 years ago, Studio Physique has focused on creating a fitness experience that combines challenging workouts with knowledgeable instruction and a welcoming atmosphere.
Our Pilates-inspired, low-impact strength training classes help members build strength, improve endurance, and challenge themselves at their own pace.
Studio Physique also offers VersaClimber group fitness classes, bringing a distinctive, full-body cardio workout to the Tampa Bay fitness community.
Whether someone is stepping into the studio for the first time or returning for their hundredth class, our goal remains the same: to make every workout challenging, supportive, and rewarding.
The Trainers Behind the Recognition
A great fitness studio is only as strong as the people who bring its classes to life.
This year’s Best of the Bay recognition highlights the dedication of the Studio Physique training team.
Congratulations to Dom Vaccani for his Best Personal Trainer recognition, and to Lauren Cederstrom and Paige Michael for earning finalist honors.
We’re also celebrating Sabrina Hennessey’s recognition as Best Mover & Shaker and Chris Field’s recognition as Best Networker.
These honors reflect the commitment, energy, and personal connections our team brings to the studio and the St. Petersburg community.
The Community That Makes It All Possible
Awards are wonderful, but what matters most to us is the community behind them.
Over the past 11 years, Studio Physique has become more than a place to exercise. It’s a place where members encourage one another, celebrate progress, build friendships, and make fitness part of their lives.
Our members bring the energy. Our trainers bring the dedication. Together, they’ve helped create something we’re incredibly proud of.
