What Clients Say About Steve

I’ve been training with Steve for over 6 months now and it’s been the best experience I’ve ever had with a trainer. Steve writes personalized workouts that cater to my goals and limitations and have lead to real progress. He’s mindful of my injury history and has not only designed workouts that work around my limitations, but has helped me strengthen the areas that have caused injuries, which has made my body feel overall a lot better. Also an all around great guy who checks in frequently and takes a real vested interest in his clients. 10/10!!

Physical Culture has changed my life for the better. It’s more than just a gym. It’s a community. It’s not just about training your body, it’s also about what you eat and how you sleep. My coach, Steve, is truly remarkable at what he does. His patience, motivation, and wisdom has helped me in numerous ways. I would recommend PC for anyone who wants to improve their life.
Nana A.
5/5
personal training brooklyn ny
Three years in, my body is doing way more amazing things than its ever done before, and – yes, this is annoying but true – working with both Chantel & Steve, and going to Physical Culture has made a hugely positive impact on my life and health. I also have to shout out all the other coaches who are always ready to help with a spot, joke, encouragement or a mechanics question when you need; and all the familiar faces that make the gym a real community.
Lillian R.
5/5
personal training brooklyn ny

Busy with work and a new father, former CrossFitter, I was tired of wasting time on workouts that didn’t drive real progress. I needed convenience, precision and effective workouts. I work with Coach Steve, and couldn’t recommend him more. Personalized programs, tailors things based on your schedule (traveling, time constraints) and reacts exceptionally well to training feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Availability and Scheduling

I’m on the gym floor Tuesdays from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., Thursdays 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., Fridays 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Outside of these times, I’m often around for private clients. Feel free to catch me between sessions—I’m always happy to chat about your training plan and goals.

I finalize all client programming on Sundays. Although we follow four-week training blocks, I regularly adjust your workouts based on the feedback you leave. Drop detailed notes in CoachRx so I can tailor each week to your evolving needs.

Absolutely. Private sessions fast-track your progress by allowing us to focus intensely on technique, form, and skill work—whether it’s Olympic lifts, bodyweight movements, or traditional strength exercises. Just ask, and we’ll set something up.

I’m in touch with my clients daily! Reach out via CoachRx or chat with me on the gym floor. I’m here to provide support, answer questions, and keep you progressing toward your goals.

Experience and Expertise

While I’m not a dedicated injury specialist, I’ve successfully guided clients dealing with common issues like sprains, strains, and tendonitis. I’m experienced in modifying movements around wrist, ankle, spine, and shoulder concerns. If something falls outside my scope, I’ll refer you to Coach June (our sports medicine expert) or recommend a trusted medical professional.

I’m well-versed in Paleo, macro counting, and other balanced eating strategies. I generally advise against low-carb or keto diets for high performers, as they often compromise energy and focus. My approach emphasizes whole foods, practicality, and an 80/20 philosophy—enough structure to see progress, but flexible enough to enjoy life.

I’ve personally competed in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and CrossFit, and I’ve coached clients in these and related events like Strongman, HYROX, and marathons. Functional training principles easily transfer to other sports, so if you’re a recreational athlete I can also help you build strength, improve performance, and reach your next milestone.

Approach and Philosophy

My style is all about super high energy, intensity, and no wasted time! I’m up at 3 a.m. ready to help you push past mediocrity. Every workout is purpose-driven, combining a high-intensity, low-volume approach with auto-regulation to ensure constant progress. When it comes to nutrition, I believe real food fuels strength, energy, and mental clarity. Instead of chasing fad diets, I focus on practical, nutrient-dense eating that supports sustainable muscle gain, fat loss, and peak performance.

Absolutely. Take Kevin, a new dad with a demanding finance career who trains before work. His sessions are short, efficient, and intense—tailored to his schedule and energy levels. Every exercise targets multiple muscle groups, prioritizing proper technique, and leaves him feeling energized, not drained.

Perform 2-3 minutes for both lizard stretch and box shoulder stretch

Spend 1-2 minutes in each foam roll position

Two to four sessions per week is plenty—even for advanced athletes—if you bring real intensity. Training five to six times a week often signals low effort and wasted energy. By focusing on fewer, more purposeful workouts, you’ll have time for other activities you love, recover better, and still see serious gains in strength, fat loss, and overall performance.

You Don't Have To Live With Pain.

Most injuries originate from weakness, overuse, or poor movement mechanics.

Real rehab NEEDS progressive strength training to build lasting resilience.

As a board-certified athletic trainer and strength & conditioning specialist, June can replace physical therapy.
