I trained with Steve for about half a year, and I would recommend him and his business to anyone looking for a permanent solution to body image, weight, and self development issues. Throughout my journey with training, I lost about 10 lbs and made phenomenal leaps in my performance. I am active duty military and Steve prepared me to absolutely demolish my physical training demands. The body recomposition and performance gains that I have seen are unreal, and I think everyone deserves to feel as confident as I do about myself after training with Steve. I began training with a lowly sense of confidence, a horrible self image, a poor understanding of health and how MY body operates. By the end of training, I had learned how my body reacts to certain types of stressors, activities, and nutrition. I had learned to appreciate the things my body is good at, and the things my body is capable of. I learned to love the way I am and see all progress as a great thing, no matter how small. My personal life has improved dramatically since training with Steve, as many of the things he teaches you in the gym, apply to your day-to-day life. I would recommend Steve at Cerebrawn training to those who have the need to better themselves physically and mentally. Training with him is not for the weak of heart, and he will push you to be the absolute best you can. You will build resiliency, physical strength, mental fortitude, communication skills, and so much else. I applaud those who have the drive to take on training like this to improve their lifestyles.

You demolished those fitness standards and will continue to do so. Continue to improve and appreciate every incremental step you take towards moving forward. Remember to take time to stop and appreciate where you are presently compared to where you had once started! Work hard and eat rice!

I hired Steve because I had hit a low point in my life. I was overweight, depressed, and had no confidence. Looking at some Steve’s his profile pictures I saw that at one point he was 100+ pounds overweight and I thought he could sympathize with somebody like me. I was nervous when I first met him but after working with him for some time all that doubt and fear went away. Steve is very passionate about what he does, and you can tell he cares about your physical and mental well being. He will push you to be the best version of yourself and help you with your struggles. With his help I worked through a shoulder injury that I thought would never get better and I got a lot stronger in that area. I have been working with Steve for about a year now and because of that I am more confident than ever, and in the best shape of my life. I cannot recommend him enough as a personal trainer.

Hello! My name is Landon and I began training with Steve approximately 6 months ago. Following suit with most of my peers the pandemic left me in a complacent and out-of-shape state; however, with my goals and aspirations, I knew that this was something that I needed to change immediately. I never had a personal trainer before this and from day one Steve provides an understanding, knowledgeable, and hardworking atmosphere. During training, I have improved both physically and mentally. You will be challenged day in and day out. If you decided to train with Steve be prepared to make some changes that are necessary for your success. Come in with an open mind and understand that you are there for a purpose and never forget that purpose. Steve will be there to assist you. Definitely read his entire description and even go to his website! While this training might not be for the faint of heart who aren't solidified in their "why," if you decide to go with him you'll never regret it. An all-around great trainer and person!

I started working out with Steve in August 2018. I had done some weight training on my own in the past without real guidance and thus without significant progress, so I wanted to train with him to get expert guidance and set goals to improve my endurance and optimize my physical appearance. My goals were to gain muscle mass and thus gain body weight (as I had always been the skinny type) at the expense of muscle mass and keep my percentage of body fat low. Right from the start I knew Steve was the right person to help me out to achieve these goals, he took all the time needed to explain to me exactly how we were going to work together to achieve my goals and how we was going to do everything necessary on his part, but that a big part of our plan was the effort and discipline that I was going to put in and out of the gym. He helped me immensely, since he set a workout and diet plan for me to be able to achieve my goals and also to identify what mental limitations I had set for myself, which was a key component to training, as he was able to make me into a disciplined and accountable person. I learned a great deal about how fitness works, what is the right way to do exercises (he made sure that I performed them correctly before increasing the weight, so that we optimized the training and also avoid injuries) the right way to train (what exercises are key and how to build a workout routine). With his guidance and motivation I started cooking on my own and stopped eating fast food since I realized how important this was to gain my nutrition goals (I ended up enjoying cooking a lot and saved money as well!). He made sure I understood that the most important part of getting your goals "happens outside the gym" and so I gradually became more disciplined inside and outside of the gym, which actually poured into my personal and professional life as well (importance of responsibility, accountability, discipline, and self-improvement). It didn’t take long for me to notice the physical changes in my body and soon I was hitting the numbers that I had set for myself with the help of Steve. Not only was I achieving my goals, but I started seeing that I was capable of much more than I thought and that I could continue to improve even more. This made me more confident and changed my perspective completely about taking care of my body naturally , I also feel up to any challenge that comes my way since I feel I found my hidden potential and how important discipline is. I would continue working with Steve for the long term, but unfortunately I am moving out of town so I wouldn't be able to, but I feel confident that I have gained the tools to continue carving my own path and continue achieving my physical goals, as well as continue reaping the benefits of discipline and self-care in my daily life.

Steve is a wonderful and professional trainer. He takes his training seriously and makes sure that you are getting the best out of it. It’s easy, as long as you do what he says, you WILL get results. I started with him a skinny kid at 137.5 pounds. About 3 months in and My weight was at 162. I definitely recommend him purely based on that fact that he takes his work serious in a way he won’t just let you cheat. He will push you and just knows what’s best for you. He doesn’t lie, and is always honest. After all you have to put in work to get somewhere right? Also on a personal level, he’s a funny and cool guy and easy to get along with. He has definitely helped me mentally in terms of just boosting my confidence and decision making. You are getting your money’s worth because like I said before, he is serious he plans your workouts, meal plan, and knows what is best for you depending on your goals.
