Our Story: Learning to Stand Strong 

Stand Strong was based on the foundation that it is important to Stand Strong through challenges we face in life. The mantra is inspired by 6 year old Edmond B. Bock IV, who sadly passed in a tragic accident. He learned how to “Stand Strong” in vacation bible school the summer before he passed, and it was something he repeated when he thought someone needed the reminder.  He loved life, loved God, and loved people. 

We all face something in our life that challenges us. Something that knocks us off our feet and makes it difficult to get moving again. Here at Stand Strong Fitness & Wellness, you are not alone in your journey to getting to a better place. We offer personal training, nutrition guidance, and mental health support. Taking care of yourself involves your whole well being.

“Stand Strong, mommy” is what my son, Edmond said to me when I was having a really bad moment one afternoon. I  always keep this phrase at the forefront of my mind since he left this worldly place. It is what gets me through my toughest days. This phrase not only captures the epitome of the kind-hearted child Edmond was, but also represents the vision I have in place for “Stand Strong Fitness & Wellness”. I strive to offer those who have had a tough go at life, and are feeling lost or confused, a place where one can learn how to “Stand Strong”, and get themselves to a better place.  Learning by taking care of oneself, physically and mentally, to work past any pain points one may be stuck with in life. A beautiful, strong life, starts within yourself.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
