Simple Solutions Fitness

I had such a great experience with Simple Solutions Fitness, especially with Steven. He was always supportive, knowledgeable, and personable. I never felt like a face in the crowd and knew that he really wanted to see me succeed. Though I had very little background in fitness, I felt super safe and comfortable in this environment. I would highly recommend him to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey!

I wanted to get fit but didn’t know how to approach lifting weights. Steven really knows his stuff, and is great at helping modify exercises to better suit you. It’s such a positive environment and a great gym, no gimmicks or unreasonable goals. Simply Solutions has helped me really enjoy working out and hitting the gym!

Steven is the nicest trainer. He has personalized workouts and makes sure you are doing each one correctly/safely. Ever since I started going to Simple Solutions I have felt more confident in a gym. Don’t get me wrong, starting the routine change is scary… but totally worth it. He keeps his gym a small crowd so you don’t have to worry about judgement/other people.

Steven is amazing. After working with him, I felt confident about my form and empowered to continue my program, improving my strength and overall fitness. He is kind, attentive, and responsive. I grew in strength and came away armed with the knowledge to continue my journey. He is an incredible coach and teacher.

I worked with Steven for several months while I was completely new to weightlifting -- working with him was awesome and super helpful for my fitness goals and progress. I really appreciated all the time he spent on my programming, looking through videos, and giving advice. Would be excited to work with him again in the future if the opportunity arose.

I’ve been working with Steven for about 5-6 months and OH MY GOSH..best trainer ever! Since we’ve been working together, I’ve hit multiple PRs on all my lifts. He’s super encouraging, very knowledgeable, and willing to work with whatever equipment you have available. His main goal really is to help you reach happiness in your fitness journey. I would totally recommend working with him!

Coach Mack is very attentive to his clients, very easygoing environment! I would recommend Simple Solutions Fitness to anyone wanting to learn weight training fitness even if you are a beginner like me. It was intimidating to try to learn weight lifting in a large gym. This is the perfect place to start! Email Coach Mack if you are curious! His response time is incredible!

Working with Steven has been an exceptional experience. Steven is thorough and his approach is evidence based. But especially noteworthy were his cultural sensitivity and accommodation of that ( I required a female trainer) as well as his flexibility in terms of the options he offered.He was also easy to access in times of need.Unfortunately my female trainer departed and I was no longer able to continue at which time Steven offered to assis me with finding a different trainer. This was above and beyond.I shall miss training here and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional ethics of the owner. This is not a common trait for many of us.Best of luck to Steven and heartfelt wishes for a prosperous future.Sincerely,M. Min.

I've been working with coach Steven Mack for several months now. When I started with Steven I was frustrated with my training. I felt like my training was aimless and I lacked goals and a plan. Steven really listened to me and helped me set some goals I'm really excited to be working towards. The training is challenging but fun and I have been making steady progress.I'm so happy that Steven challenged me to work towards some goals that I had always been scared about, for example, pull-ups and bench press. It's so rewarding to see progress from week to week. Steven is so great about listening to my concerns, he answers all my questions and his feedback is always on point.In addition to making steady progress in my training, as well as learning a lot about the principles of strength training (one of the things I really wanted from coaching), another thing I'm really happy about is that Steven's programming is allowing me to understand progress in terms other than scale weight. I have always been focused on scale weight as a measurement of my progress in training. However, now I'm focusing more on progression in terms of strength and the weight that I'm moving, how particular exercises feel, how good my performance feels at the gym...and it's just really, really awesome!I couldn't be happier and I love working with Coach Mack! He's incredibly knowledgeable but also very compassionate and just and all around great guy. I highly recommend him as a coach and personal trainer :)

I started Simple Solutions Fitness after getting a diagnoses of spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), spondylosis (spinal stress fractures), and spondylolisthesis (a breakage of parts of the spine vertebrae slips out of place), and degenerative disc disease. Whew!After finishing PT, I wanted to find some place where I could get stronger and take better care of myself. I am intimidated by most gyms and so I would always quit after 1-2 months. Here I enjoy working out, it's fun, it's not painful but it's always challenging me to get better, stronger, each time I go. Now I have already had my "6th month anniversary" and am on month 7, going consecutively and only missing once!! I'm so proud and happy about that.Steven was great in that if I felt pain doing any exercises, he has an amazing ability to immediately give me an alternative exercise that works those muscles to make me stronger without pain. He didn't doubt me or look down on me about that, EVER!The small group atmosphere feels so safe, fun, warm, and you feel like you can be just a 'normal' going in and chatting while working out, never feeling judged and leave proud about what you accomplished. Everyone I've ever met has been so nice and fun and pleasant. I feel like I have my "workout buddies" when I go there now. :)I also like how the plans are tailor fit for you each time. I never knew until recently that Steven spends several hours working on our plans, tailor fit just for us. That's pretty amazing. No wonder why the plans work so well for me and I do different movements than others! (He makes them so it works around my back issues....it's great!)My back has become stronger, I'm in less pain, I can lift more without hurting myself, get off the ground faster, and just overall keep feeling stronger.If you've got pain or don't know what to do in a gym but want to feel stronger, or gyms make you feel uncomfortable, Steven is great - you'll be really glad you went!!
