EPE Training Systems

Stephen is an exceptional trainer. He is dedicated and extremely knowledgeable. He is very passionate about fitness and creates a custom curriculum tailored to meet your specific needs. He is meticulous about form and changes things up regularly. He sees the potential you have and brings out the best in you. I am consistently impressed by his excitement to challenge my fitness in new ways! His cardio workouts are also fun, energetic, and appropriately challenging. If you are willing to put in the work and time on your end (i.e. good nutrition, recovery stretching, and follow his plan), you will see the results you’ve always wanted! Bottom line, I highly recommend him to those who are serious about reaching their goals. Give him a call, go in for a trial session and see exactly what we’re all talking about here on Unilocal– you’ll find its all true, and then some!

Steve is a knowledgeable trainer that creates effective circuits that both increase your functional strength and lead to weight loss. Here is why Steve stands apart from the rest: he trains you on the required movements for each exercise-​no bad form, no straining of muscles that are not the focus of the particular exercise. You stay safe and continue to get stronger. As you age, getting stronger is important. Many trainers spend too much time focusing on balance. Exercises that use you main muscle groups will also improve your balance-​but with the primary effect of getting stronger. Steve is an 12 on a scale of 10!

Best place in South Orange County to develop your fitness and get STRONG. Stephen is a great coach, keen observer, and student of the human body. He will tailor a plan to make you stronger and fitter than ever in probably less time with almost zero sore muscles. This place isn’t for everybody. If you want valet parking and elevators, go to Lifetime or Sports Club Irvine. If you want something cheap without results, go to 24HR fitness. If you really want to get strong and learn something, check out EPE.

If you’re looking for a coach and environment to train in that really speaks to those looking to build Strength, Power, Speed and Endurance you’ve come to the right place. EPE is not just a gym but a training facility to promote growth in a progressive and SAFE manner. You can’t find the equipment here in a LA fitness and even some Crossfit gyms who are content with the standard format.
Highly recommend giving EPE a try as Stephen is knowledgeable of human anatomy, physiology, strength training, nutrition but more importantly open minded to all forms of growth.

I’ve been going to EPE for about a month now and love it. Steve is not only very knowledgeable about strength training, he’s also quick to explain the proper form and the whys of what I’m doing.
The gym has a lot of heavy equipment and initially looked very intimidating. But Steve breaks things down and gets you to work on YOUR body — not something pre-​canned that will only end up injuring you. I’m not a big guy/​meathead (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and find EPE a great place to train and build strength — I’m already way up on the weights I walked in on.
If you want to work out the RIGHT way — with someone who is both super-​knowledgeable about building strength and about making sure the exercises you’re doing are right for you — then I would highly recommend EPE.

Squat racks, barbells, olympic platforms, tons of conditioning equipment and an incredibly knowledgeable owner, what more could you ask for? I’ve been training with Stephen for about 4 months now and and have been very happy with my strides in weight loss and strength gains. I take part in the group training and it’s based around the big 4 compound movements with accessory exercises to complement the big lifts (squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press.) At the end of every workout is a conditioning aspect, which I love. Stephen is a form fanatic and focuses heavily on this. Everyone in the gym is very friendly and there is a great feel here. I personally haven’t found a gym anywhere in the greater Orange County area that offers what EPE does, check it out!

I have been training at EPE Training Systems for a couple months now. So far, my squat has gone up an insane 115 pounds, my bench went up over 60 pounds and my press 32.5 pounds. Not only do I feel stronger I look better and have much more energy to get through the work day. I am not taking steroids, or any performance enhancers. Stephen’s methods are unique and very effective. He is not your average 24hour trainer that sits on his A$$ and texts he is focused on you and makes sure your form is perfect before you lift a single pound. If you want a trainer that is affordable, effective, and certified this is the place to be!
This is the best way to achieve your goal.

I’ve been training with Steve for little over 2 months now and let me describe this gym in one word AMAZING! Being involved for fitness for 5 years now and being ex Marine Scout Sniper this has got to be the best gym in town, his knowledge, training techniques, energy level its all amazing! I hate 24 hour fitness and cross fit is terribly bad on the body, this is the best alternative in town. I’ve lost 18 pounds in two months now im back in top physical condition. This is a must for anyone who wants to get involved in fitness, i wouldn’t recommend anything but EPE.
