Meet Stephanie Duffy | Owner, Templefit

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Duffy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is authenticity. Templefit is centered around creating a community of like minded individuals on the same journey, which is to increase their life expectancy through fulfilling personal goals centered around showing up for themselves through health, wellness, and fitness. Our brand has been thriving since 2020 because, we give space for everyday individuals to share their stories of their triumphs and downfalls while going through the transformational process of weight loss, health conscious living, and strength training, which gives hope to new beginners. I was fortunate enough to document my journey of my personal weight loss struggles and weight gain depression, which isn’t talked about enough, on my platform and in turn gave me an audience of people who can relate, and they to began to make the necessary changes to improve their quality of life. After researching, studying, and praying about the new phases of the health and wellness space, God expanded my reach and birthed an extension of Templefit to embody strength through clothing. In 2023, we expanded to include a strength based brand called CHIXS WHO LIFT. Through this birthing we have cultivated a new community of women who feel strong and empowered through this movement of strength training. CHIXS WHO LIFT has now welcomed more women into spaces that were once male dominated. The beautiful thing about this fitness community is that it’s not geared toward just one race of people. Strength sees no color, but it embraces the once labeled weak to include the now empowered strong women. The fact that CHIXS WHO LIFT and Templefit represents the wholeness of the individual seeking to improve their temple through fitness, health, and wellness is strength in its self. The stronger the whole person the stronger the community, which resembles Templefit. Our brand is wellness, nutrition, coaching, branding, apparel, personal training, and community outreach while using our Temple. We are Templefit!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am most excited about seeing the life changing transformation occur amongst the individuals that accepts the challenge to make the necessary changes to improve their Temple. Our brand imparts hope thorough practical approaches that are obtainable with longevity. It helps that my background is in education, so my previous years creating lesson plans spills over to create coaching materials for that are basic but specific. Research taught me that everything is a formula, decode the formula unlock the hope. I have learned that people will do when they are ready. I can’t take it personal when they don’t follow through because I was once in their shoes. This is a lifetime journey that is rooted behind mental healing and the pace of the individual cannot be rushed. I want the world to know that we are not giving up on helping people restore their outlook on showing up for their future self. We are hope dealers.
