Hi, I’m Stef Wild.
With over a decade of experience in coaching, I offer honest, science-based, personalised strategies to individuals wanting to optimise their health and fitness for life.
Working with me means saying hello to holistic movement practices and sustainable nutrition habits to bring you lasting results.
If you want to live a long and healthy life filled with energy and the strong, graceful body you’ve always craved, I’m here to help you!
Welcome to my world of movement and empowerment.
I'm Stef, and for over 17 years, I've dedicated my life to helping people from all walks of life embrace confidence in their bodies and minds through transformative movement. My journey began on the dance floor as a professional dancer and dance teacher, which sparked my passion for fitness and led me to become a qualified personal trainer, Pilates teacher, yoga instructor, and barre expert.
Working as a professional dancer nationally and internationally from the age of 19 taught me that in order to perform at my peak, I needed to take excellent care of my physical and emotional wellbeing, and after some emotionally challenging events in my 20’s, my desire to delve deeper into the healing elements of physical training and yoga were strengthened and inspired me to learn more about the transformative effects of health and wellbeing practices.
Teaching dance to students of all ages and abilities really sparked my interest in coaching, so in 2012, I began my formal journey in fitness training, firstly becoming a qualified Personal Trainer, before completing my qualifications in Pilates coaching, Yoga teaching, and many other forms of movement such as Zumba, and Barre.
My work in the fitness industry caught the eye of Nike, resulting in me being appointed as a “Nike Trainer” from 2015 to 2020, with the intention of boosting women's participation in health and fitness globally.
In 2017, I started my own company, “Performance Pilates & Yoga”, in Melbourne. In this boutique studio, I honed in on working intimately with individuals to improve their health and fitness holistically, specialising in Reformer Pilates training, barre, and yoga. In 2020 I took my offerings online and created my online studio “Workin’ With Stef” which has helped over 2000 people train effectively from anywhere in the world.
My training philosophy is simple: Training should be enjoyable, varied, and balanced. I believe in mixing strength training, mobility exercises, and coordination activities to ensure your body and mind never plateau. Each session is designed not only to challenge you physically but also to engage your cognitive abilities, and yoga sessions with me provide invaluable moments for self-study and reflection.
Through my “Workin’ With Stef” Online Studio, my “Stef Wild Fitness Mentorship Program”, being a Pilates Teacher Trainer for Soma Co. Reformer Studio in Vienna, Austria, and my programs on platforms like Daily OM and My TXO, I’m excited to extend my reach globally.
I currently reside in Brisbane Australia with my husband, Cam, and Kelpie x Staffy puppy, Lando, and in my spare time I enjoy exploring my passions for dance, music, acting, and indoor gardening.
If you’re ready to discover strength you didn't know you had and uncover a renewed joy in movement, I’d love to work with you!

Isabella Valette :
“I have loved every minute of training with Stefanie, she is the perfect combination of thorough and friendly, she pushes each exercise to the perfect amount of time so you are never bored but always working to your full capacity, and naturally moves into a mentor role with her students, offering tailored advice to lifestyle, nutrition and motivation hacks.
The combination of her positive and real outlook on life along with her evident passion for transforming people’s lives through fitness is a potent motivational combination.
Her background in dance, yoga, pilates and personal training makes her the ideal trainer for anyone who wants to learn to move gracefully, with strength. I cannot recommend Stefanie highly enough as a trainer.”

“Pilates has been an important component of my life for four years but l have now discovered the next level of Pilates with Stef. From the first class l felt taller, stronger and more flexible. The environment, Stef's gorgeous nature and her own determination inspire me to be the best interpretation of myself.”
Aly Lee :
“It is a blessing to get to have Stef Wild as a trainer. She is a world-class trainer that gives 110%. I was thrilled to learn she was starting her coaching business as I knew Stef from her work as a Nike Trainer at NTC (Nike Training Club).
Each session she will push you to the max as she can see beyond the goal you set and always wants the best for her clients. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
