About Me

Annamaria Scaccia is a two-time cancer survivor, one-kidney bodybuilder, and fitness coach who’s passionate about helping others on their own journeys. Her story began in September 2020 when she was diagnosed with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, followed by a second diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in 2023. These experiences drove her to support fellow survivors, offering empathy, resources, and advocating for more research funding. Annamarya is an active member of the survivorship community, serving as an ambassador for the Kidney Cancer Association, a member of its Patient and Caregiver Council, and a participant in Kesem's National Parent Committee. In 2021, Annamarya started Stillwell Fitness to create a supportive space in the fitness world for people with one kidney. Recognizing how rare it is to find coaches who understand their unique needs, she focuses on helping them build muscle and transform their bodies. Annamaria's goal with Stillwell Fitness is to change the way people think about bodybuilding with one kidney, making sure no one feels alone or lost in their journey to health and strength. She’s there to offer the guidance and support they need every step of the way.
