Steve’s Body Lab

Steve is great! I recently needed to lose about 10 – 15 lbs for a wedding that was only four months away and boy did he get me on track! He not only provides you with a manageable work out régime but a nutrition plan that works amazingly as well. I was seeing results within two weeks.
Steve is strict and tells it like it is but won’t overdo it; he knows how just how hard to push you. Not only is his pricing reasonable but Steve is very professional and his 22 years of experience does not go unnoticed! If you’re looking to get into shape, Steve will make sure you get there.

Steve is amazing. I have not been the best client but Steve hangs in there and keeps working with me. We just started training again. He is very encouraging, good with form, attentive, and very fun to talk to. Make the hour go by faster. He is realiable, dependable and always on time. Sometimes he does more than an hour if needed.

Since late 2003, I have had spinal surgery and two surgeries, including microfracture surgery on my right knee. Unable to do my regular exercises for the past 7 years, I gained over 60 pounds, had high cholesterol and developed diabetes. I underwent physical therapy with two different providers, practiced yoga, had massage therapy and worked with a nutritionist. These helped minimally, despite my serious efforts at each. When I found Steve, his positive attitude was encouraging. The fact that he CAME TO MY HOUSE and charged a very reasonable rate was incredible. Steve evaluated my condition and started out simply by helping me stretch. He suggested several supplements which, upon approval of my physician, I began to take. Steve created a special diet which was easy to follow. In the 6 months I have been working with Steve, I completely changed my diet, have increased my strength and endurance and our sessions have become incrementally more strenuous. I’ve lost 51 pounds! Gone are my size 36 jeans and back are my good old size 33 Levi’s, fitting comfortably. My suits all fit again. More important, my most recent blood screening showed marked improvements in blood sugar and cholesterol. I am hopeful that after four years, I’ll soon be able to stop taking Metformin, Lipitor and Trilipix. I have been supporting the pharmaceutical industry long enough! I have not felt this good in years. The mirror and scale are my friends again. I am now swimming at the Koret gym regularly and Steve suggested between our sessions I work out on a few pieces of the professional gym equipment they have at USF. Don’t waste your money on a treadmill. Steve gets results. He will help rebuild you and your future if you are serious about getting better. My highest recommendation.

I’ve been Steve’s client for over 5 months now and am a very satisfied with his service.
–Steve travels to your location. Super convenient for those who are busy
–He is extremely particular about your form while working out. This enables me to work out more efficiently and avoid injuries
–He will assist you in modifying your diet. Extremely important for me given my dietary restrictions.
–He’s very cognizant of my prior sports shoulder injuries and creates a solid workout with those constraints in mind
–His rates are extremely competitive especially for Soma area
I have gradually been working on my goals and have been progressing very well. I plan to continue for a while.
Try him out for a session — he will make you sweat.

In the past, I had always thought of personal trainers as an expensive extra that would be aggressively sold to me when i joined a gym. i also thought that i could motivate myself, and that a trainer wouldn’t add much.
my friend and i have been working with steve for about a month now and i can honestly say that my entire view has changed. steve does 4 things particularly well: first, he has the experience and knowledge to make sure that you are using the right form and the right level of resistance to get the most out of each exercise, and to avoid injury; second, he mixes up the program each session and shows up with a plan for how we will use every minute of the hour; third, he does a great job of motivating, encouraging, pushing and congratulating, which makes me want to push myself to keep going; finally, he has a lot of helpful ideas about nutrition and helps set goals and guidelines for better eating.
steve’s rates are exceptionally reasonable, and his flexibility to train us at our chosen location really helps. he is also flexible on time and does his best to accommodate schedule changes. he’s tough, but he’s also friendly — i enjoy coming to my sessions and i think most people would get along well with him. highly recommended.
