CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Hasan I.
“I’ve been working with Steven for four years now and I’ve really enjoyed the process. During the pandemic, Steven began to train us in his garage gym and it was a fantastic experience.

I’ve since built a strong relationship with Steven and I’ve come to know him as a reliable, empathetic, and motivating trainer who is determined to help you succeed”
Jader M.
“If you’re looking for a coach that is a great listener and open-minded with a positive attitude then I’d highly recommend Steven.

Not only is he highly educated and knowledgeable, but his reassurance to make you feel at home with his warm presence almost makes you forget you just broke your PR. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to be heard just as much as they want to be trained and see results”
Isac I.

“Steven’s knowledge in the field and insights have been invaluable throughout the years that l’ve worked with him.

He has been a big inspiration in fitness and in life and is always able to be counted on and always ready to help. Genuinely one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

I met Steven through a friend of mine at the Ottawa Lions and have been working with him for almost two years now. Steven is a very knowledgeable and motivating strength coach who will help you achieve your goals.
Mariam I.
“Steven has positively impacted my fitness journey and provided me with the knowledge and confidence that I needed. He makes hard training fun and very enjoyable. He’s professional, empathetic, kind, caring and very knowledgeable.

In a short time Steven has also shaped my two boys’ perceptions of fitness and nutrition for the better and I’m forever grateful to him for that.
Aaron C.
Steven made me feel reassured that I had a trainer I could confide in with his wealth of knowledge. He thoroughly answered my questions with explanations that I appreciated.

With Steven I knew that I was getting the exact results I needed. It’s also worth mentioning his patience and kindness made me feel very comfortable during workouts as well.
Safwan E.
Coach Steven has played a huge role in my physical development over the last year (getting me down from 1:58 to 1:51 in the 800m). He delivers great workout programs that are thoroughly detailed and tailored to each athlete’s needs. He’s very quick to answer any questions I have about my program and gives very constructive feedback. He makes time to discuss training periods. He has the ability to explain why I do each exercise and how it’s going to help me in the long term! He is very knowledgeable in everything lifting.

He also coaches a lot of my teammates who have only told me good things about him!
10/10 would recommend!!
