Hybrid Fitness-OC

I’ve been working with Steve for about 5 months now, and it’s about time I got around to writing this review. I asked myself a few questions as to what I wanted, from a trainer:
1. Do I want someone who stares at his phone during the workout? No
2. Do I get results organically? Yes
3. Do I learn lessons that I can take with me wherever I go? Yes
4. Do I have a general sense of well being? Yes
5. Is my routine getting stale? No
If your way of thinking is similar to mine, I highly recommend giving Hybrid Fitness a go, for your fitness needs.

I can say I have tried it all. Personal trainers, gym classes, Pilates studio, barre classes, orange theory and insanity. Nothing compares to the special attention Steve and Stephanie give you. They help you target the areas that are most important and motivate you to do the work. Steve keeps me accountable to going to the gym. It is the only way that I saw good result. He is flexible with my schedule specially since I change my times every week. He values his clients and i can definitely feel it.
He is also reasonable and will give you a really good deal. It is worth every dollar. I was paying 20 dollars a class for Pilates or barre. About 16 dollars for orange theory. This ends up being so much less and I am getting such a personalized work out. I highly recommend this team.

I started working out with Steve when I was 54 and very out of shape. My goal was to take my kids skiing in 1 year. I hadn’t been skiing in 15 years so my goal was to ski like I had never missed a day. Steve encouraged me and pushed me to be mentally tough. He changed my workouts every session and was always thinking of something new to challenge me. I lost 10 lbs while working out with Steve and my sleep improved dramatically. And, 11 months after I started with Steve, I took my 3 adult kids snowboarding and I skied like I hadn’t missed a day. I didn’t have even 1 sore muscle. I texted Steve the first night and said, «thank you for every squatting, lunging, jumping thing you made me do!» And, 5 years later and after 2 foot surgeries and wrist surgery, I have lost 10 more pounds and still do the boy push-​ups Steve made me do. Even though Steve moved away, I still workout as if he’s standing next to me encouraging me to complete one more rep. I highly recommend Steve Olivas as a personal trainer. Miss you, Steve! Melodie

As a D1 athlete, I needed a place to train when I returned home for the summer. Steve was the perfect trainer for the job. As a basketball player himself, Steve understood my needs. He knew which muscles I needed to target and which agility/​endurance workouts to put me through. There were many times I wanted to call it a day, but Steve never let me give up and I can’t thank him enough for pushing me to be my best. Training with Steve took my game to the next level. Thanks Steve! :)

I’ve been working with Steve for months now and have continued to make progress and gains. He changes up the workouts with each visit so you’re never bored and his meal planning is realistic and achievable. The gym is welcoming regardless of your fitness level and everyone is very friendly.

Team Hybrid Fitness – the partnership between trainers, Stephanie Buckland, herself a rising fitness star (
), and Steve Olivas, its founder and my trainer – is excellent. Having trained with THF for only two months, I’ve already dropped two waist sizes. Knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to accommodate to your schedule, everyone at THF will do everything they can to hold you accountable and help you reach your aims. And, if you’re cost conscious like me, you’ll find their pricing model unbeatable. Unlike typical training packages where you pay, say, $ 60 per session for three sessions a week, or $ 180 per week; THF charges, depending on how many months you commit to, as low as $ 250 a month for five days a week. That translates to a little over $ 11 per session. That’s amazing. I sincerely recommend THF unreservedly. They provide a great service at an unbelievable price. What more can you want?

There is definitely a mixture of emotion when it comes to Next Level Fitness. But its all good emotion. You can’t just pay money and expect results, but if you are a determined individual then this is the place for you.
The location is easy to find, and in a very convenient location near the 55. The hours each trainer has is pretty flexible and the energy of the place is intense.
I went in assuming I would get a good work out, but did not expect the results I received. My trainer, Steve, pushes hard and pushes you to your limit. He definitely does his end of the bargain, and as long as you stick with your clean eating habits, you will see results pretty quickly. I am about 2 sizes down in only 4 months of being a client.
I give this place 5 stars because it surpassed any expectations I came in with.

I have been training with Steve since November 2012. After losing 50 lbs on my own, I knew that I needed a trainer to help me with the rest of my healthy transformation. (that’s me in the before and after picture wearing the blue tank top). So… I looked on the computer for trainers, the first person I called, was too busy to even speak with me on the phone. He cared more about how much money he could get out of me… The second person I contacted was Steve at Team Hybrid Fitness. He got back to me right away and I met him 2 days later. I showed up ready to workout and I’m not going to lie, it was tough. I weighed 260 lbs when I started with Steve and doing exercises like squats were extremely difficult. Hell, even walking on the treadmill was hard. But Steve was beside me the entire time, telling me I can do it and that it takes time and to not get frustrated. Steve had me send to him what goals I want to achieve, as well as what foods I eat, and from there he devised the best course of action for me. Trying new exercises were scary at first, and at times I would look at him and say «are you sure I can do this»? Steve’s answer «yes, I know you can do it, I would never have you do something that you aren’t ready for». Once I heard the faith he had in me, I put all my trust in him. I knew at that moment that I chose the right trainer for me. Also during that first session, I could feel that Steve doesn’t do this for the money, he really truly cares about what he does and he WANTS you to succeed and see results. His knowledge is impressive! What I also love about training with Steve is the support I get from the other people he trains. We all support and encourage one another to keep going, it’s so motivational and inspiring. It’s awesome! I have lost a total of 120 lbs since July of 2012, and 72 lbs since working out with Steve. There are days when I don’t want to workout, but I push myself and go and I’m always glad I did, I walk out of the gym feeling amazing! So if you want to truly workout and make healthy changes, come see Steve at Team Hybrid Fitness. He is so positive and encouraging, and what I love most is he isn’t one of these trainers who yells at you… he takes the time to explain and demonstrate every exercise so that you understand what and why you are doing it. He will hold you accountable. In order to see results, you will have to eat right and do your part when not at the gym. The best move I made was signing up with him, my life is forever changed thanks to him. I give 100% when I workout and I eat right and I see results… that’s all you have to do. I’m doing exercises I never thought I could do. Heck, I’m even running which I haven’t done in over 20 years!!! My endurance is up as well as my energy levels. Steve has showed me that I can do anything. And after every workout, what I always hear from him is «good workout Kathy, you are doing great»!! Those words mean the world to me. Believe me when I tell you, I weighed 308 lbs… if I can lose the weight and get healthy, anyone can! :) So come down, meet Steve and join the Team Hybrid family… you will be so happy you did.

I started 3 weeks ago with Stephanie, she is low key not in your face type trainer which I appreciate. Well she pushes me she also makes sure Iam comfortable with what Iam doing. I love the gym and feel comfortable working out there.

So… you are looking for a trainer huh? Good for you! You are taking an important step to really change your life this time just like me. Well you have come to the right review, because I happen to be rating the most amazing trainer that I have ever worked with. STEPHANIE!!! I can’t even tell you how fortunate I am to have begun my journey to get in shape with her. She has made me change the way I feel about exercise and myself in a very short time. The interest that she takes in her clients is truly special. She really listens to what you want to achieve and she takes it from there.
She works me hard, and many times I wonder if I can make it, but she makes me so confident that I can do anything. Who doesn’t want a trainer that changes not only the way you look, but also the way you think and see yourself? That is half the battle. I have never loved the gym by any means. In fact I have avoided it like the plague. But that is why I am overweight now. But Stephanie puts together challenging workouts with variety, she pays attention to me, and cheers me on. She gave me an easy meal guide to follow too. Before her I didn’t know if my dream to be fit and a healthy weight was possible. I have NEVER felt this strongly about a trainer. So now it isnt a dream anymore. Like Stephanie tells me, «this is your reality. It is your near future. It isn’t a dream.» Ladies and gentlemen don’t sleep on this little powerhouse! She will not disappoint. Stop wasting time looking through more reviews. You know all you need to know now! I promise! See you at the gym.

If I could give 10 star’s I would. I started with my trainer Steve about a year ago and haven’t looked back. Steve makes it easy to WANT to show up (half the battle) & work hard while I am there. He gives me personalized workouts for my body type and they are designed for my personal goals. I have a crazy work schedule and Steve is very flexible on my times and days I go. I have been seeing great results and couldn’t happier! HIGHLY recommend Steve and Team Hybrid Fitness!

I have worked with other trainers in the past, and Steve is by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with! He knows what he’s doing and more importantly he’s easy to work with. His workout routines are always awesome and I feel great after my workout. He has a warming attitude and at the same time he will pushes me beyond my comfort zone (but in a good way). My body feels great, energized, strong, and in-​shape from his workouts.

Hate working out? Check. Hate going to the gym? Check. Hate sweating? Check. Do you have to resort to «paying» someone to get your arse in shape, because frankly that’s the ONLY way you’re going to show-​up? Check.
Which brings me to Steve, my personal trainer…
Working out with Steve at Hybrid Fitness is not intimidating like most gyms, the atmosphere is very relaxed. Steve holds me accountable, texts me to make sure I show up, scolds me (tries to) when I cancel or am running late. He’s by my side the entire hour of my workout and makes sure I’m doing things right to minimize the risk of injuries. He keeps the workouts fun and light, but I know he can be grueling with those that demand a higher level. The rates are by far the most affordable compared to most gyms and private trainers. I make my own schedule and times which is great for busy professionals.
As I see it, staying fit is an investment in my health and future. Not only am I seeing the results on the outside, but I’m reaping all the benefits and making my inside healthy as well. So if you love working out, or not (ME!) or need the additional push, either way, you’ll be very happy with Steve at Team Hybrid.

I signed up with Team Hybrid Fitness on January 7, 2013 to jump start my New Years resolution of losing weight, gaining muscle and an overall physical workout. I have to say this was the best investment I have made. I love my trainer’s (Steve & Stephanie) and because of their tough workouts I have seen a vast improvement with my physique. I have always struggled with my weight, and most of the time I hate working out, but the results are well worth the dedication, determination and devotion. «Never Give Up» is the motto which I chime to myself daily just in order to keep on going and to never give up!
Thanks TEAM HYBRID FITNESS for an exhausting, exhilarating and refreshing workout :)))

I have been with Team Hybrid Fitness for about 3 weeks now and Stephanie is A-​M-​A-​Z – I-​N-​G… And that isn’t putting it lightly. I have been to many trainers in my past, all really didn’t push me or make me feel that I was important to them due to either talking to other trainers ALL THE TIME, or dancing around the gym trying to be the «cool guy» but Stephanie, she focuses on me, and when I don’t feel I can do something she teaches me to do it a different way to help me. She is very patient and instead of giving up, as many of times I want to, she keeps me motivated by only saying a few words instead of most trainers where they yell at you and make you feel like you are nothing. She also sent me a meal plan on what I need to eat, what I need to stay away from, and would adjust it at any time if I didn’t like what was on the menu so to speak. She has made me want to be more motivated and want to achieve my goals.
So to say the least, I think I found my trainer for the remainding of my fitness career.
Thank you Stephanie.

team hybrid is great. Steve is a great trainer knows what he’s doing. nice and easy to work with but also tough at the same time. they set the work out to your specific needs and wants. awesome job!!!

I love Team Hybrid Fitness! Steve has been my trainer for many years now and I will have to say that I would never be where I’m at today if it weren’t for him. He is a great motivator and truly cares about his clients and getting you where you need to and want to be. His passion and love for what he does really shows.
It is very hard to take that first step and get there to the gym but Steve really makes it something you actually look forward to. His work out regimens are very effective and he helps you learn to push yourself and really dig deep. He is very encouraging and helps you realize that you are capable of so much more than you ever thought.
I highly reccomend Team Hybrid Fitness to anyone wanting to take that step and make a change in their life or just wants to even maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle. It never feels like a chore but a great accomplishment. I’ve had other trainers before and I do Pilates and cardio on my own time however nothing compares to the results you achieve with Team Hybrid Fitness and a trainer like Steve working with you and helping you get to your goals.

Team Hybird Fitness’ owner is amazing. Steve cares about the needs of each person he works with. I was introduced to him thru a friend at work who knew I was wanting to get in shape. I had never worked with a trainer before and was a little nervous but Steve took the time to talk with me about my needs and the results I desire. He understood my beginning limitations and built the routines geared to my goals. With each new exercise he explains the muscle groups which should be worked and the results I should see. We have been working together only a couple months but the weight is coming off and I am seeing progress! He advises on nutrition, things I can try at home and is very concerned on how I feel each time we work out. I am feeliing great and I am much more aware of how I can help myself achieve my goals! The Gym is very casual and you know everyone is there work out! I highly recommend you call Steve and set an appointment up!

To sum it up to one word, Team Hybrid Fitness is Amazing. The workouts are tailered to your specific triaining needs and fitness goals. The personal training doesn’t end when you leave the gym, the trainers are constantley checking up to make sure you are eating right and staying on top of your goals.
I have had multiple personal trainers, gym passes and done every diet possible that never seems to work out for me. With my previous trainers and gyms there was always a disconnect between myself and the trainer, which would result in my giving up. My goal was to lose weight and keep it off, which is where the strugle has always been for me. Once I started training with Steve I was excited but nervous for every workout. He pushes me everytime and the results are showing. Not only have I lost a high amount of weight but I feel better too. People are constantly telling me how good I look since I started training, which is always a great confidence booster! Every time I train there is a different workout so I never get bored and he really makes sure you are pushing yourself even when you are ready to give up. I highly reccomend Team Hybrid Fitness and Steve if you are looking for a good workout program you can stick with.
