The Strength Spot

Stephen is an extremely knowledgeable and motivating trainer. He takes time to ensure clients are utilizing the proper form and readily provides modifications when needed. His workouts are personalized and the perfect blend of strength, cardio and endurance training (be prepared to sweat!).A feeling of community and camaraderie are very important to me when looking for a gym. Stephen actively fosters a sense of community and belonging with his clients that embraces all fitness levels.The Strength Spot has a clean, welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I've tried many gyms in the area and this studio is truly a hidden gem.

Stephen (owner) is the best trainer I’ve ever had. He kicks my butt (in the best possible way) every time I go and is incredibly conscientious of making sure everyone is using correct form so they don’t get injured. He keeps the space clean and organized provides an atmosphere where people feel comfortable.

Finding a good trainer is like finding a good hair stylist or therapist - once you do you stick with them. I'm one of Steve's oldest clients, both figuratively and literally; he's been my trainer/coach for over 12 years, through thick and thin, no pun intended, in good health and through challenging times.Steve is an experienced professional, smart, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of sports medicine. His methodologies and principles are scientifically sound, he is goal oriented, and believes in continuous improvement, for himself and his clients.He takes the time to understand you, how you think, and your physical condition. He designs training programs that are individualized and progressive, and when necessary, are adapted to ones changing physical needs or requirements.The relationship between a trainer and their client is built on trust, commitment and understanding. I believe the trainer's role is to provide technical instruction and guidance, encouragement and support. I can say unequivocally that this has been and continues to be my experience with Steve as my trainer. I'm grateful we met 12 years ago.P.S. the new gym, The Strength Spot, is a great place, clean, well-equipped and accessible.

I have been training with Stephen for about 6 months now. He has coached me individually and in a group setting.In the time that I have trained with him, my physical and mental strength has improved immensely. I am able to lift heavier weights, and exercises are no longer as challenging as they used to be.Stephen is incredibly attentive and makes each of his clients feel like they are the most important person in the room. He cheers me on when I’m struggling during a workout, and I leave every workout feeling better than when I walked into the gym. Stephen is the first personal trainer I have ever had, and I wish I started training with him earlier!
