Steve owns one of the highest client-retention rates in the fitness industry. His clients explain why:

CLIENT SINCE 2005
"Over the last several years, I have trained on a regular basis with Steve. He designed a personal fitness regimen for me, emphasizing strength training targeted to address bone loss from a condition of advanced osteoporosis. While I cannot definitively say that it is Steve's workouts that have halted the progress of the deterioration, my test results have shown not only a considerable slowing of bone loss in my back, but even a modest improvement in bone mass in my hip. I attribute this to a combination of medication, diet, and exercise. And while I have been reasonably diligent in following such a program for more than ten years, the improvement did not appear until after I began working with Steve.

I have found Steve to be knowledgeable in his field and disciplined in his approach. While he is cautious about the potential for injury, he constantly challenges me to greater achievements. And his knowledge of nutrition and body chemistry is superior to any strength-training specialist I have ever encountered.

His highly professional attitude and his gentle demeanor are assets that all of his clients enjoy. But what's more, Steve has proven that he can converse intelligently about many topics not related to strength training, no small feat when you spend three hours a week for several years with your trainer.

I am pleased to recommend Steve. His professionalism and his knowledge of his field are, in my experience, unsurpassed."

CLIENT SINCE 1997
"I have trained with Steve for over ten years. He is exceptionally knowledgeable not only with regard to the proper way to train with weights, but in the proper way to eat. Fitness requires a three-pronged approach: resistance training, cardio and diet. Steve focuses on all three aspects of proper fitness.

At age 45, I began training in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. This is a very taxing and physically demanding martial art. Steve was able to fashion a proper weight training, cardio and diet regimen to prepare my body for Jiu-Jitsu.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to be the best he or she can be."

CLIENT SINCE 2000
"I hired Steve as my trainer after receiving a heart transplant. Steve approached my training in a professional manner, talking with my physician to learn how to best work with me. The strength I gained from my sessions was invaluable in helping me return to everyday life. Steve is prompt to arrive and has never missed a scheduled workout with me, unlike other trainers I have worked with."

CLIENT SINCE 2007
"Before I met Steve, I was dealing with a poor self-image. I had
gained weight due to menopause and a thyroid problem. All of the
things I had done in the past to lose weight were not working. With
Steve's guidance and expertise, I am getting back control. I find that
my health is improving and I have more strength and energy. While I am not obsessing over the weight gain, I find that the things we are doing with weight training and diet are getting me back in shape. I feel so much better." Carol Tait

CLIENT SINCE 1997
"I started working out with Steve after gaining 48 pounds during my
pregnancy with my son. As a TV meteorologist, I felt the need to lose
that baby weight quickly and had no luck on my own. After a few
months of working out and dieting under Steve's instruction, I was
back to my pre-baby weight. My son is almost 11 years old, now, and
Steve is still helping me stay fit."

"Steve is very intelligent and well-read. He keeps up-to-date on all
of the latest medical findings as well as fitness and diet related
research. For me, even running marathons didn't do as much for my
fitness level as training with Steve. He knows what he is doing and
I've seen years of results to prove it."

CLIENT SINCE 2005
"I had worked out for years on my own and was confident I knew what I was doing. My wife, who has worked out with Steve for years, urged me to let Steve help me take my fitness to the next level. It took me a
while to listen, but I finally sought Steve's guidance. I am really
pleased with the program Steve developed for me- my muscles have
increased and I have become much leaner."

CLIENT SINCE 2005
"I began training with Steve three years ago. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge as a fitness professional. At our first meeting, after identifying my goals, he evaluated and made changes to my diet and designed a safe and effective exercise program that consisted of cardio and heavy weight training.

My goals were to reduce body fat and gain muscle. I had worked with several trainers in the past but had no success as far as building muscle and strength. After about eight weeks, I began seeing noticeable changes. After five months of eating clean and hard work in the gym, body fat lowered, muscle began to show and I dropped three dress sizes!

Steve continues to stay current with the latest research in the health and fitness industry. His ability to guide clients through the ever-changing exercise and nutrition recommendations make him an exceptional trainer. One who truly holds the health and wellness of his clients at the forefront of their training."
