Stacey Nestadt

Age: 33
Lives in: Johannesburg

From the age of 5, I was on the stage competing in dance festivals for Ballet, Modern and Hip-Hop. My passion for dancing and artistic expression motivated me to evolve my career into teaching dance and obtaining my Pilates certification. Having gained valuable experience in a highly professional Pilates environment, I developed Pilates By Stace. For over 5 years, Pilates by Stace has grown and through the Covid pandemic, I have been fortunate enough to introduce online classes.

How does fitness fit into your lifestyle?

As a Pilates instructor, I train clients daily, often with them. I’m constantly researching and developing new exercises to challenge my clients. I’m also in training to become a dance teacher. I train 5 days a week. Fitness is in essence my lifestyle.

What are your personal fitness goals?

I plan to add some high-intensity interval training to my Pilates workouts and vary them. I’m a dancer and I’m training to be a teacher so I would like to improve my flexibility even more.
