Howdy! My name is Rebbekka Graziano and I am the owner and founder of Battleground Fitness. Since I was two I have been on the move. I participated in soccer, cross country, indoor and outdoor track and skiing. This was my drive to have a career in movement. I went to SUNY Cortland and achieved a Bachelors in Kinesiology: Fitness Development. After college I got a job and found my passion, strength training.

Over the last few years I have participated in spartan races and powerlifting meets, which consists of the squat, bench and deadlift. I attended the 2019 Arnold Classic, which is my biggest accomplishment yet. In 2017 I broke a world record for my squat and 3 New York State records for my squat, bench and total. That year I also won The Capital Region’s Favorite Fitness Trainers. Another huge accomplishment of mine.

My certifications include; Certified Physical Preparation Specialist (CPPS) and Precision Nutrition Level 1 (PN1). I do wish to accomplish the SFG Kettlebell Certification and become a Kinstretch Instructor. More certifications = more knowledge! The last 6 years is when I really discovered how awesome it is to be strong. I want to show women that being strong is beautiful. I went into this industry wanting to help people find the best version of themselves, well here I am doing that! So in March of 2020 I decided that I was finally going to pursue my dream of opening my strength training studio. I want to leave my mark in this world. I want to help as many people as I can. I want to make a difference!

Well that’s enough talk about me. To put it simple, I like to work hard but have fun while doing it! So let’s get to work!

Movement has the power to change your life—not just how you look, but how you feel, move, and show up for yourself every day.

I'm Stephen Zabala, a fitness and nutrition coach with a holistic approach to health and performance. As the chef and owner of Greenfork, https://www.eatgreenfork.com I've spent years helping people fuel their bodies through both movement and nutrition because I believe the two should never be separated. You can't outtrain a bad diet!

My coaching focuses on functional strength, mobility, stability, and building a body that's capable both inside and outside the gym. I want you to move better, feel stronger, reduce pain, and develop confidence in what your body can do.

Exercise should not be miserable to be effective. The best training is challenging, engaging, and fun. Every session is designed to push you beyond your comfort zone while respecting your body's individual needs and abilities. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to take your performance to the next level, my goal is to help you become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

My background combines strength and conditioning, yoga, nutrition, wellness coaching, and culinary science, allowing me to coach the whole person rather than just the workout. I hold a B.S. in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University and am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). I also hold a Landmine certification through LAndmine University, Kettlebell Specialist and Durability & Foundations certifications through Onnit Academy, along with certifications as a Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga Instructor through Yandara Yoga Institute.

Above all, I'm a lifelong student. I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and refining my approach so I can provide my clients with the best possible coaching experience.

If you're ready to move better, get stronger, and enjoy the process along the way, I'd love to work with you.

Let's build a stronger, healthier you—together.
