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!

My name is Stephen Zabala, I'm a fitness and nutrition coach with a somewhat unique and holistic approach to strength and conditioning. I am also the chef/owner of a nutritious meal prep business called Greenfork (www.eatgreenfork.com).

My focus is on FUNctional training, mobility, stability, and optimizing the human body through movement and nutrition. I think exercise should be a balance of challenging and fun. I believe in the connection of the mind and body, and using that awareness to explore different patterns of movement to push your limits beyond your comfort zone to achieve next level results. Anybody can achieve those results with discipline and hard work, and I absolutely LOVE to help facilitate the journey to health and wellness for others.

I am a NASM certified trainer and have a B.S. in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. I have Kettlebell Specialist and Durability and Foundations certifications through the Onnit Academy. I am a (Hatha, Vinyasa) yoga teacher certified through Yandara Yoga Institute, and I am constantly learning and evolving through my own research, routines, and practices.

Come have some fun getting stronger with me!
