Steve had helped me through probably one of the most stressful times in my life where I was really struggling with making healthy choices. He introduced me to some healthy food alternatives that I had no idea even existed and explained everything to me in a basic way so that I could understand and was best suited for me. He also gave me a simple workout plan to quickly strengthen my body to be able to pass my military physical fitness exam. He's a great guy with a friendly and professional personality and he has been through some of his own struggles with weight in the past, so he completely understands and relates to some people who are overweight/unhealthy. He clearly knows fitness and nutrition and I completely trust him to be able to help anybody who is looking to better themselves as a person physically and mentally. I consider Steve to be one of my closest friends today even and I'm so grateful that I decided to have him as my trainer.

Best personal trainer I've ever had. I'm in the military and got flagged because of my weight, I have those birthing hips and thunder thighs. I knew I had to do something about it but did not have the self motivation to do it on my own. A coworker recommended Steve. When we met, it was nothing like I had expected. Our first meeting was very professional, we talked about what my goals and expectations were but not only that, he was also very direct about his requirements and what he would expected of me. I was impressed by his seriousness about the expected results and my commitment to the goal. Steve was very encouraging, checked in on me on my off days to make sure I was sticking to my meal plan, reminded me to keep hydrated " that was my enemy" I was never able to drink the recommended amount of water, and inquired how I was feeling after the workouts. He kept a record of my progress. When I would get depressed he would show me how well I was doing eventhough I wasn't feeling that way. When I felt that I should be seeing more results he kept reassuring me that it would take something, but not to give up. He pushed me to the best of my ability, showing me how far I could go, he was very concerned about my knee injury and made sure I would never do anything to further aggravate it or make it worse. He constructed my exercise routine and meal plan to match my body type. We all know that "one size does NOT fit all". Overall it was a very good experience, I kept seeing him even after I had met my 1st set of goals. There is always room for improvement, so I kept going. Anyways, I lost 22 lbs in less than 8 weeks, 3 days a week. I went from 185 lbs to 163 lbs, passed my tape the very next month and was way under my "Fat" percentage allow. 22 lbs in 8 weeks!!! I am PCSing to another duty station but I plan on doing online sessions with Steve. If you're not serious about reaching your goals or making the sacrifice for yourself, don't waste his time. If you truly want results and someone who genuinely cares about your health and fitness go see Steve.

I remember how worried you were and we did not have much time to get you where you wanted to be. But guess what? You did it and went above and beyond what your goal was due to your constant efforts and trusting yourself and I the whole way. You should consider writing you wrote me a book! :D

Steve is probably one of the best trainers I've ever come across and one of the most inspiring people I know. I've personally seen him go from 330lbs and not even able to do a single push up to 180lbs of pure muscle in little over a year and he did it all while working a full time job and as a full time student. The most miraculous thing about it to me is that he did it all by himself! He personally gave me the inspiration to start working out as well and change my life for the better. Through his diet and exercise routine I went from 215lbs to 171lbs in 3 months. I had way more energy, I felt better and was faster and stronger and fitter than I ever thought possible! If you're at all timid or unsure about getting a trainer or don't know if you have what it takes believe me Steve has been in your shoes if not worse. Doesn't matter if your old, young, overweight or skinny Steve can get you to achieve your goals and get you in the shape you've always wanted to be in. Not only did he give me the tools to achieve my fitness goals but also gave me the confidence and courage to surpass other obstacles in life. His training is not only a physical transformation but a mental one as well. You'd be amazed by how much you view the world differently when you can view yourself differently as well. If you choose Steve as your personal trainer I can honestly say you won't be disappointed.

Thanks a lot Kev! Didn't realize you took that much from the experience! I am really glad that you were able to meet your goals and that I was able to be a source of inspiration for you. Stay positive, confident, and continue to better yourself!

Let’s just say that I came out of this a totally different person, both physically and mentally. This process was something that can’t be done overnight or with some 30 day subscription to some generic workout plan. I’ve worked out with Steve for roughly 9 months and he is truly a genuine trainer. He is very caring and will stick with you to make sure that you understanding everything (just a heads up, I think he’s psychic lol). He taught me everything and has been there to right all my wrongs. Whether it be correcting my form or helping clear my mind, he was there with me from start to finish. Just have trust and the willingness to do the work and I promise that Steve will get you to your goal.

You did incredibly well and I am very proud of you! Keep up the positive mindset and healthy lifestyle!

Steve has has done more than change how my body looks. When I first came to him, I was getting out of a dark, lonely time of my life. In my head, I thought I was doing ok and all I needed was to get in shape to become a firefighter. Steve has and still is helping me to change how I perceive myself and the world. I'm not saying he has some secret code to life or anything, but I was so far off path and it happened ever so subtly that I didn't recognize how twisted my thinking had become. Through my training sessions, Steve has shown me time and again how to make positive, disciplined choices, and that it's the only only way to change anything about yourself, whether it be physically or mentally. I'm exceptionally grateful to have him, because even now, I dread to think of the person I would have continued to be without his patient guide.

I look forward to continuing to work with you on your journey Caleb. You'll make it man!
