Strumos Fitness

I just completed a 30 day personal training program with Stephen and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else looking to work on their personal fitness, whether your goals relate to strength, injury recovery, or weight loss.

My personal goal was to rehab my body after suffering a knee injury, multiple surgeries, and a really tough recovery about 2 years ago. I met Stephen at Fit Studios and loved his classes there, so when he announced he was doing personal training I immediately signed up. We went through an initial consultation where I explained to him the nature of my injuries and what I was looking for. I found him really knowledgeable about rehabbing from injury, which is the main component I was looking for in a personal trainer. Together we decided that my goals were to increase range, stability, and strength. Stephen quickly came up with a tailored program to reflect these goals.

My favourite part about the program was the mobility exercises he included. I saw a significant difference from beginning to end in my stability and strength, especially on my bad leg. These were exercises I would never have thought to incorporate on my own, and I wouldn't have known where to look online.

We went through some of the workouts together on zoom during which he adjusted or talked me through the exercises I had some difficulties with. For example, after seeing that I was hip dominant on my squats he adapted the squatting exercises over the video and even threw in some extra exercises in the program to target my technique. Now when I do squats I feel like I'm actually targeting the areas I'm supposed to be and my bottom half feels much stronger than before.

Stephen checked in personally on me after the workouts to make sure my knee was feeling okay. We also tried adding in some running (which I haven't done properly in 2 years) and he trained me the week before about things to look out for, and adapted my program for the week to ensure that I don't put myself in a position where I could get injured.

The nutritional factor was really helpful in getting me to stay at a consistent weight and to incorporate more nutrients and proteins which I really needed.

I'm extremely happy with the results I got with him just after one month. I feel stronger, more energetic, more stable, and more flexible. Thanks Stephen!!

Stephen did a great job designing a mobility program for me after I injured myself. His attention to detail about form will really keep me from getting injured again, and ensure I can continue my strength training journey. Thanks so much!

I have signed up to Coach Stephen's fitness program and am beyond grateful that I did! This is not the first program that I have been apart of and honestly with all the other programs I started to lose motivation and ended up wasting my money. Coach Stephen does an amazing job holding you accountable and keeping you motivated to continue to do the workout program. Another thing that I really enjoyed was that the program he created was tailored for my exact goals. If there was anything I was not able to perform he would find alternative exercises and change it up almost immediately to keep me satisfied. There was great customer service and coach Stephen was always around to answer any of my questions. His program also tracks your nutrition from the application he uses to make sure you are on track with your goals. Overall, I recommend this program to anyone who wants to get their fitness goals and needs a trainer to help keep them motivated!

Just finished up my program that was setup by Stephen. He is a very knowledgeable, professional and comfortable personal trainer. Was at a road block with my own training and took his advice with how to overcome it.

Overall I achieved my goals and would highly recommend if you are a results oriented person. You only get the results you want with the effort you put in and the right guidance.

Thanks again Stephen!

I have been fortunate to have started training with Stephen for the last 6 months. Stephen is a knowledgeable, detailed and enthusiastic personal trainer. His ability to explain and focus on improving techniques makes session with Stephen physically rewarding and intellectually captivating. He customizes sessions and recently, Stephen demonstrated his skill and understanding to make adjustments to help me recover from a sports injury. I highly recommend Stephen as a personal trainer and coach.
