The Crew

Russell Stockdale
Founder &
Managing Director
Hey, I’m Russ! I am the Co-founder and Managing Director of Coaching Society. I have been in the health and fitness industry for the better part of a decade now, meaning I’ve coached thousands of people, from all walks of life! Since the day I became a coach however, I have always had a very entrepreneurial spirt. So when Mik and I joined forces, to us, nothing in the world was out of reach. Hence where Coaching Society was born! We wanted to help as many people as we possibly could, we didn’t want be to restricted by our physical location so we built Coaching Society to service everybody and anybody, no matter where they were in the world. My main role now has evolved into being a mentor to the coaches who represent Coaching Society. I work to ensure our service is nothing short of incredible. I’m also the geek behind the business, so catch me coding, creating automations, developing our coaching app and so on… anything involving numbers, I’m the brains behind them!

Mikayla Stahl
Founder &
Managing Director
Hey, I’m Mik! I’m the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Coaching Society. Starting out my career in the fitness industry working on the gym floor, I knew I wanted to help more people without being limited to the four walls I was coaching within, hence the birth of Coaching Society. This has allowed me to help thousands of women feel: Inspired. Confident. Empowered. Having years of experience coaching an abundance of women, from injury prevention and rehabilitation, women’s health right through to mindset and cognitive patterns, I now impart my knowledge and mentor the coaches who represent Coaching Society. You will also catch me wearing many other hats within the business which include leading the marketing and sales team, managing client success and overseeing events coordination and planning. My passion is to ensure every single person who joins our CS community doesn’t feel like just a number, rather a part of our close-knit family, and I’d love to welcome YOU into it!

Stacey Trinne

Hey, I’m Stacey! And I know exactly how it feels to be in your shoes right now. Throughout my life I always struggled with poor body image and extreme low confidence both in the gym and out. Until I took the leap you’re about to and fell in love with strength training and learning a sustainable approach to my nutrition. Fast forward to now, I have now made it my personal mission to inspire and support Women who are about to embark on that exact journey. I believe that the best person to guide you through such a journey, is someone who has walked it themselves. So join me in not only transforming your body but your overall confidence and self esteem! Together we’ve got this!
