Steph Prem is a former Winter Olympian and five-time Australian snowboarding champion. After a serious injury prematurely ended her professional sporting career, she dived into a gruelling five-year recovery and what has become an enduring wellness journey. Today, she pours her passion into Studio PP, a premium health and lifestyle brand that inspires clients to delve into their own health and wellbeing to nurture optimal physical and mental health. In early 2020, Steph partnered with 101 Collins to develop ‘RISE by Studio PP’, a full-service on-site corporate wellness offering exclusive to 101 Collins tenants. 

Being a professional snowboarder in Australia 15 years ago was a bit like being on the Jamaican bobsled team! I had to chase winters (I had 11 back-to-back winters and not a single summer) and looking after my physical and mental health was my full-time job. I missed qualifying for the 2006 games, so I left university and dedicated my time to training to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics. I trained 60 hours a week for the four years leading up to the Olympics. I lived overseas for five to six months a year competing and spent the other half of the year training. A big part of what I do now is translating high performance into everyday life, bringing the transferable skills that I learnt in professional sport into everyday life and sharing them with people. I’m obsessed with high performance, not just because I come from a high-performance sports background, but to help others drive effort and better output, productivity and wellbeing.
