My name is Stacy Gallagher. I have been involved in the fitness industry for over 25 years. I began the fitness education of a lifetime when I met and married my husband, Marty Gallagher. He is both World Champion powerlifter/coach and a prolific writer on all things fitness.

This was a formative time for me when I established nutrition and training habits that are my foundation.
