My name is Stacy Wig, IFBB Fitness Professional. I earned my pro card in fitness by winning the 2002 NPC Fitness National in Dallas, Texas after recovering from a broken neck 11 months prior and foot surgery 7 months out. My first two years as a pro were uneventful because I found out I had compartment syndrome and had to have both legs operated on. I sustained bilateral fasciotomies and took two years to recover. It was an absolute miracle that I was even able to walk after suffering such a severe case of compartment syndrome (I was at high risk for amputation from the knee down) but I was determined to recover quickly and come back to the sport and the career that I loved. I attempted to make a come back in fitness in 2007 but had some hip issues and had to have yet another surgery.

Today I continue to strive toward my own fitness goals but with a different focus. My main purpose is to bring “life” to others through fitness. That may be by inspiring individuals to compete in a sport that they didn’t think they had the talent or ability for, creating a road map for those that are lost and can’t find the way to their goals without a little direction, or encouraging a positive focal point for those suffering and unable to see the light. I am placing emphasis on the journey by honoring my body as much as this professional sport will allow. I practice yoga regularly, listen to motivational CDs by all of the top speakers in the country, and try to maintain balance in my life. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, treasured friendships, and a rewarding career. I have found strength by surviving physical, psychological, and spiritual hurdles that have given me the empathy I need to be an effective mentor for others.

Stacy’s professional education is expansive with a Master’s degree in Psychology (Behavior therapy), graduate work in nutrition and biology, and several top level certifications. View Stacy Wig's professional resume page.

Stacy’s current projects
The formation of Team Inspiration, serving on the Board. Working with other amazing athletes and human beings with the vision of forming an encouraging support system and cultivating an “I Can do it!!” attitude and way of life for those suffering from illness, disease, or addiction.

Stacy is currently working on her first motivational book which will include stories of real people who have survived unbelievable obstacles in life like Cancer, amputation, clinical depression, substance abuse, severe injury and more while keeping fitness their focal point. The individuals in the book will be telling their story of trial and triumph, sharing their mental strength, and passion for a fit, healthy lifestyle.

Stacy is also working toward her 200 hour yoga certification to further improve upon the Mind/Body connection that is so important for healing and maximizing one’s maximum physical and psychological potential.
