Anastacia “Big Staci” – Bodybuilding Coach
Meet Coach Staci – Your Bodybuilding Coach at SMTF Richmond
Early Start in Fitness
Hi, I’m Anastacia, but everyone calls me Coach Staci, also known as Big Staci. I’m a dedicated bodybuilding coach at SMTF Richmond. My fitness journey began when I was 16, working at the Manchester YMCA in Richmond, VA. I pursued my passion for fitness by earning dual degrees in Sports Management and Exercise Science & Kinesiology from Old Dominion University, completing my studies in less than four years.
With 17 years of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at top gyms like Gold’s Gym, American Family, and Planet Fitness. Throughout my career as a bodybuilding coach, I’ve learned three guiding principles that shape my approach to training:
- No one is coming to save you, so get up and get to it!
- Excuses are just reasons stuffed with lies.
- The only easy day was yesterday.
After taking time off to raise my children, I rediscovered my passion for bodybuilding and began competing nearly five years ago. My hard work paid off in March 2024 when I earned my IFBB Pro League status by winning the 2024 Arnold Amateur OVERALL Bikini Championship. Not only did I achieve this goal, but I also set a rookie record by placing 4th at my pro debut just weeks later.
Now, my mission as a bodybuilding coach is to help others achieve their goals, whether it’s preparing for competitions, improving overall health, or achieving personal fitness milestones. I believe that no dream is too big, and no goal is out of reach when you take that first step.
Whatever your fitness goals—whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced—I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to make your fitness journey a success and help you grow stronger, healthier, and more confident.

Scott Taylor – Personal Trainer & Performance Enhancement Coach
Scott Taylor – Personal Trainer/Performance Enhancement Coach – With over 7 years personal training busy professionals of all walks of life, I’ve noticed it is hard leading a successful career and maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. Especially when you add family/kids into the mix.
Most people aren’t able to stick to a diet to lose any weight(let alone keep it off if they did lose it), or a workout regimen to put on muscle tone. This is mainly due to the fact that we introduce such a drastic change in the foods we eat and training regimen we take part in; that it becomes extremely unsustainable short and long term for people.
This is why I focus on MOLDING HEALTH AND FITNESS TO YOUR LIFE INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND! That way, it’s a lot easier to succeed whether your goal is to lose a few pounds or build a nice toned physique. It’s a lot easier losing weight and building muscle eating the foods you are used too on a regular basis. It’s a lot easier getting a workout plan that molds around your busy schedule(and not trying to fit your schedule around your fitness).
Stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole when it comes to your health and fitness. Find a nutrition and fitness regimen that fits into YOUR ALREADY ESTABLISHED LIFESTYLE!
✅With my specific style of coaching, most people I work with tend to lose 8-10lbs a month on average(with my most recent clients losing 5-9lbs in 2 weeks!). Additionally, ALL are able to keep their weight off long term! ALL WHILE ENJOYING THEIR FAVORITE FOODS EVERY DAY!
✅Also with my coaching, people see consistent strength and muscle growth every month despite how busy their schedule is on a week-week basis!
🎆Don’t let your Career/Personal life hold you back from the health and body of your dreams. Reach out to me and we can solve this problem…… PERMANENTLY!
