My name is Jillian Stapf, certified personal trainer and sports medicine specialist.  Welcome to Thunder Strength Fitness! It's my goal as a health and wellness professional to provide affordable programs that help you meet your goals and ultimately live better.

I graduated from California State University Northridge with a Bachelors in Kinesiology while playing Division I Water Polo.  After finishing school in California, I moved to Miami, where I completed my Masters in Athletic Training from Florida International University.  My whole life has revolved around athletics.  Whether it was playing them myself or rehabbing athletes injuries.  It wasn't until I moved back to Michigan where I found my true passion in the realm of health and wellness, to help others live healthier lives! 

In today's world of fitness, much of it is focused on aesthetics. Yes, this is something that is a great benefit from training and proper nutrition. However, I feel that the greater benefit is what you are able to physically accomplish.  Completing your first pull-up, picking up your grandchild, or run again without having pain. These are the things that fuel my passion!  The look I see on someone's face when they have done something they never thought was possible.  I want to help you find something that you enjoy doing, educate you on proper nutrition and exercise, and with your effort and hard work, assist you in reaching your full potential!
