“I’d carried around extra weight for years. My arms and upper body weren’t in very good shape. Adding to that, my lower back was often in pain from hefting my briefcase and luggage. I realized I needed to do something to improve my overall health. As an office worker and someone who travels a great deal, I just wasn’t dedicated to exercise and my diet wasn’t the best. A year ago, I decided to do something about it. The result, a twenty-pound loss of weight, improved strength in my upper body and a back that actually is pain free. Overall, I feel better and I even look better. Just ask my wife.”
“My commitment began late last summer with twice a week sessions with Steve. We focused on my arms, my stomach and lower back. This was combined with a wellness focus through my office that helped with my diet. I had shied away from a personal trainer because I thought their focus was primarily on body building. But Steve’s different. He put together a routine that focused on my specific needs: add a little more strength to my arms and shoulders, build and tighten muscles in my abdomen and back. His questions about my wellness diet were helpful as well . . . kept me focused and encouraged me.”
“After a few weeks I began to think I could go it on my own. But, Steve always came with a slightly different twist on the weight, machines I used and the repetitions. He was watching me carefully and adjusted my routine slightly each time for my best advantage. Turn the clock forward almost a year and I’ve managed to maintain my weight loss, I’m more dedicated to getting some exercise on a regular basis and I get comments from my wife like, “Wow, you look good and there are some muscles there when I hug you!”"
“I credit Steve with giving me just the right combination of challenge and encouragement. It’s been helpful to know that I have time scheduled to meet with him so I don’t come up with another poor excuse for putting off my exercise. And, his questions about my diet and other physical activities have all added up to a package that’s been good for me in a variety of ways. I feel better, I look better and I have more energy for my work and family.”
