About Croll Strength & Performance

Steph is originally from Slippery Rock where she developed a passion for strength training and sports performance while in junior high. She quickly understood how beneficial strength training was and wanted to help others realize the same thing.

Steph received her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition from Grove City College in May of 2021.  During her time at Grove City, she was a member of both the Women’s Golf and Basketball teams, the Exercise Science Club and held a job working in the college weight room. At the beginning of her college career, she underwent two knee surgeries which led her to have the opportunity to be familiarized with and shadow Physical Therapists as well as Athletic Trainers treating a variety of different injuries. Prior to graduation she was able to obtain her Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification (CSCS).

Steph has had the opportunity to complete sports performance internships with UPMC and AHN.  Both of which helped her gain hands on experience developing and implementing programs for people of all ages, abilities, and athletic backgrounds.  She has also worked at the YMCA in their sports department as well as helping with their youth and family department. Currently she works part time at D1 Training in Cranberry where she coaches athletes of all ages and sports through their group training sessions as well as one-on-one personal training.
