Stephanie Rountree

Stephanie Rountree, a dynamic fitness professional with over 12 years of industry experience, has built an impressive career that spans working with Nike and founding her own gym, Bolt Fitness, in 2022. Since then, Bolt has quickly made its mark—recently being named Best Gym on ClassPass out of thousands of gyms across the country. Her expertise includes athletic training, agility, and plyometrics, offering sports performance classes for all levels. Since becoming certified in Olympic weightlifting in 2018, Stephanie has refined her skills to support both beginners building confidence and seasoned athletes pursuing peak performance. Stephanie’s achievements extend beyond fitness. As a former college cheerleading team captain, she discovered her leadership abilities early on, which later fueled her success in opening her gym despite challenges, including confronting sexism within the industry. Passionate about community wellness, Stephanie is dedicated to increasing access to exercise in underserved areas. She actively engages in fundraising and seeks collaborations to promote physical activity for those with limited resources. Looking ahead, Stephanie envisions future ventures like a café or personal training center but prefers to focus on quality rather than opening multiple locations. Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys traveling, participating in dance classes, and spending time with her fiancé and dog. Her passion for wellness and community drives her involvement in volunteer projects, photo shoots, and commercials, ensuring her impact reaches far beyond the gym.
