About Me

Steph Cleave (Owner/Trainer/ Mama)

Exercise is my happy place! I love sharing my passion and helping women feel empowered through exercise and community.

With a football background, I have always loved how working out makes you feel and the mental and physical health benefits that come with it. After retiring from the Football Ferns, and taking up CrossFit, my passion for health and fitness with a focus on pre and postnatal exercise sparked this dream. (Along with a fantastic push from my very supportive Husband, Brody).

Since then, I've become a mum myself, to our daughter Elsie. Going through pregnancy and postpartum recovery firsthand has only deepened my passion for this work. I now understand, not just professionally but personally, exactly what it takes to stay strong, safe, and motivated through it all.

Our Strong Mama programs are built specifically for pregnancy and postpartum, meeting you exactly where you are, because I know firsthand how easy it is to put your own wellbeing last while you're busy nurturing a baby.

Once you're ready for the next stage, The Empowered Club continues that journey with ongoing, personalised training for any woman.
