“There is something so powerful about being in an environment where women build each other up instead of tearing each other down.“

— Ashley R.

“Farm Box helped me to find myself when I was down on myself and lost after a medical complexity. I didn’t think I would find a place to call home and pull me out of that until I stepped foot into the Farm Box. Steph has created a community welcoming of everyone to meet them where they are and help them achieve their personal fitness goals. It goes beyond the workouts- the community and drive from all the strong women is empowering and pushes you to be your best you.”

— Alysa G.

“I’ve been a member just over 2 years. I feel stronger and healthier than I have ever felt in my entire life. Steph has no idea what a treasure she brought to the North Pocono area, this town needed her! I am so grateful for this place and the people who continue to push me to be my best.”

— Lauren B.

“The Farm Box isn’t just a group of women working out, it’s a supportive community of women who are committed to bettering themselves, for themselves. It’s a place where moms can be unapologetically themselves and do something for themselves without feeling guilty. We empower each other, and we’re also empowered by our amazing coach, Stephanie.”

— Crystal W.

“Spending time at FBX with Stephanie, her constant drive to reach the next level, (and the next after that), her determination to push everyone around her to do the same, has uncovered a capability in myself I may never have had if I had not become part of her gym community. She believed in me so hard, I started to believe in me, as well. I am healthier physically, mentally, emotionally now at the age of 40 than I was at 20…”

— McKenzie K.

“The Farm Box is so much more than just a gym—it has truly transformed my life in so many ways! From the challenging workouts and focus on healthy eating to the incredible positive energy and supportive community, every part of the Farm Box has made such a meaningful difference in my life. I’m stronger, healthier, and more motivated than ever, and I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing community. I will be forever grateful for everything the Farm Box and Stephanie Mercado has done for me!”

— Kimberly S.

“What I found in The Farm Box was a community of ladies at every level, welcoming, supporting , and cheering each other on. There's no judgment, only support. Steph continues to find new and challenging ways to keep us motivated. I never knew what I was capable of physically until I became a Farm Box girl…”

— Tina D.

“I have been going to Farm Box for over two years, and I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about it. From the moment you walk through the door, there is nothing but positive energy, encouragement, and great vibes. There is never a class where someone isn’t cheering you on, helping you through a tough movement, or pushing you to challenge yourself a little harder…”

— Mandy F.

“I am so thankful for finding the Farm Box! This group of ladies has changed my life. I am stronger, healthier, happier. The support I have found here is something truly special. If you’ve been on the fence, jump in. It will change you for the better.”

— Keeley A.

“I’ve always been active, but for the first time in my life, I truly feel FIT! Getting into my 40s, I knew I needed a change, and Farm Box was exactly what I needed! I actually look forward to those 5 AM wake-ups, the people I work out with, and the amazing coaches. I love how I feel, I love how I look, and I’m stronger than ever!”

— Regina F.

“Every victory matters at Farm Box. Whether it’s lifting a heavier weight, trying something you never thought you could do, pushing through a difficult workout, or simply showing up on a hard day, someone is always there cheering you on. And sometimes, those small victories mean more than anyone else realizes.”

— Jill J.

“Stephanie, through Farm Box has created a space for women like me to be able to walk in and be accepted where we are- overweight and out of shape, not being able to compete a full sit up or squat or lunge. But to care enough to push us to not stay where we are. She is passionate about helping women become more than they ever thought possible. In a sometimes harsh world, Stephanie is a true gem who loves with her whole heart and gives her all to whatever she does.”

— Liz T.

“Farm Box works. Amazing coaching, a group of women who want to be a community of support, opportunities to grow physically and mentally, extra challenges with HYROX training, nutrition challenges, offerings for yoga, Pilates, barre classes and more. Kids challenges and pop up kids classes, family days, days for you to bring a man (spouse, boyfriend, friend) and show them up with your ability to do things many of them can't. The list continues to grow. The only thing missing from Farm Box is you!”

— Amy A.

“If you would have told me 6 months ago that I would have the strength and confidence that I have, and not just physically (which is super awesome) but also mentally and emotionally as well I would have laughed. But I have NEVER felt better and/or more proud of myself than I do now…”

— Colleen O.

“There’s a magic to Farm Box that’s hard to explain until you’re in it. Coach Steph somehow took a bunch of completely different women and built a place where we show up for each other, struggle together, laugh our asses off, and genuinely want to see each other win…”

— Emily S.

“Farm Box has been the only environment that can motivate me before the sun even comes up. The community of women here is encouraging, inspiring, and truly unmatched...”
