Our Team

Hi everyone!

 

I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. 

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Kate Stafford! My husband Drew & I moved to Shiner 6 years ago, and we are enjoying building a life here with our three kids. I was raised in 3 different states, but was mostly raised in Texas in the DFW area. I grew up as a competitive gymnast while playing other sports as well. Upon graduating high school I went to the University of Kansas to pursue a degree in Health & Exercise Science along with Special Education. After 2 wonderful years there, I decided to come back home to Texas where I transferred to Tarleton State University and graduated in 2014 with a degree in Kinesiology. During my college years I was fortunate enough to be a competitive gymnastics & tumbling coach, as well as coaching the TSU club volleyball team. I have always enjoyed working with kids of all ages in the sport & exercise world. After graduating college & getting married, I went on to manage/coach  at Texas Twisters Cheer & Tumbling, and teach group fitness classes such as HIIT, Yoga, Spin, & Barre. After our first daughter was born, we decided to move back to my husbands hometown to raise our family here in Shiner! I began teaching private lessons in the park and slowly building my business. I have loved every step of the path I’ve taken, and I am so blessed that my dreams of having my own studio became reality! My family means the world to me, and I am so thankful for all of their love and support in helping me do this. My goal at The Studio is to give the kids a competitive level practice, in a recreational environment. I like to put the FUN in fundamentals! I love my job, and am so thankful for everyone who trusts me to teach their kiddos.
