⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been working with Steve for over 4 years now and I can’t recommend Steve highly enough. Steve is the absolute best at what he does. From day one, he has been incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my progress. Every session is well-structured, challenging, and tailored specifically to me and my goals. Steve pushes me to work harder than I would on my own and the progress I’ve made is second to none, my growth over the years has well exceeded my expectations.

What really sets Steve apart is his attention to detail and consistency, he pushes correct form, tracks progress, and adapts workouts to me personally. Beyond the physical results, Steve has developed my mindset around fitness and health. Training with Steve has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. If you’re looking for a trainer who delivers real results and truly cares, Steve is your number 1 option.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I started with steven about 1.5 years ago. I went from not being able to do ANY lower body movements( i walk with crutches), let alone any weights. I am "NOW" able too squat, bend over, walk upright and weight training. I still need one of my crutches to walk, but im so happy about that😀! Steven has been guiding me, to improve all aspects of my life with body, fitness and nutrition. But most importantly....QUALITY OF LIFE! Steven guidance, devotion and understanding of my needs, has really pushed me to be the best I can be! I am truly grateful for everything Steven has done for me!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I started training with Steve in 2019, and I have never looked back. I remember meeting Steve for the first time and I immediately felt comfortable. With each training session I grew stronger, and I felt more confident in my abilities. Throughout the years I have continued to train with Steve on a weekly basis, and I can assuredly say that he is very knowledgeable and passionate in what he does. Training sessions are fun! I also walk away learning something I can apply to the next session. Steve expresses a genuine interest in understanding the needs of each athlete, their goals and success. He always takes the time to ask questions and check- in. Steve places thought and effort into his programming that is built on integrity, communication, and continuous learning. I am grateful to have found him as a coach. In 2024, I stepped onto a World platform for the first time, and competed at World Championships - something I never thought possible. 💪😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10/10 highly recommended. Steve is an excellent personal trainer and a genuinely great person to work with. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and understanding, which makes every session productive and motivating. He takes the time to tailor each training plan to your specific fitness goals, experience level, and workout schedule, so everything feels realistic and sustainable. I’ve felt supported and confident throughout the process and would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been training 5 days a week since 2010, working with 3 different trainers before Steven. Having lost my sight in a car accident, I started strength training to cope with the trauma and stress, until getting stronger became my life. Of all the trainers I’ve worked with, I’ve seen the quickest and greatest gains with this guy, breaking a 400 pound deadlift and 300 pound bench press. He quickly adapted his training to my blindness and I found him easy to work with. He is the best, very advanced with training techniques and experience and always wanting to learn how to work with you better. I can’t recommend him enough for someone wanting to break personal bests in the gym.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing coach! Very knowledgeable about how human bodies work, move and function surrounding weightlifting, power lifting, nutrition etc! Super engaging with his clientele online and one on one! I couldn’t recommend someone more as a coach! :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been a client of Onyx S&C for about 3 years now and it has changed my life so much. My trainer has pushed me to be the best physical version of myself and even on the days that I have no energy or it’s been a long week and I don’t want to do anything, he is there to be my energy. Steve has such a vibrant personality that will make you feel so welcome and will have you laughing in between sets. You can tell that he truly cares about all his clients and wants the best for them. I have recommended Onyx S&C to many of my friends and family and he has changed their lives as well!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Steve is a coach that has both the knowledge and the practical experience to back it up. He is the 3rd powerlifting coach I've worked with and his communication with his clients is levels above the others. The training program was tailored to my experience and my goals, and boy did we ever crush those goals. My first 600 lb deadlift was under his tutelage and no doubt he could have taken me to 700. 100% recommend Steve as a coach 👍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been working with Steve for a few years and I couldn’t imagine training without him anymore. All of my personal bests have skyrocketed over the time training together along with my technique and overall knowledge. Aside from the training he’s helped me with dieting which has helped immensely with my transformation. He totes the line with being personable, yet keeping me accountable throughout my journey. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better trainer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hiring a coach can be a hard decision but hiring Steve is the easiest decision you'll ever make! He will push you and encourage you in all the right ways! I'm constantly learning and evolving in my fitness journey thanks to Steve :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I met Steven through working out at evolve and after a while of me failing to be consistent at the gym, I looked to Steven for some coaching and it was one of the best things I've done for my life. I used to be pretty fit when I was younger but lost that passion for the gym, trying to return and find a love for the gym again can be a daunting task if you don't really remember what you're supposed to do. Stephen put my macros together, helped me understand the nutrition aspect but also made working out enjoyable, I managed to hit my best PR to date with his help and lost 35lbs in the process.

Steven is a REAL student of the game, he will take the time to explain why you should be doing what you're doing, how it benefits you and he will help keep you accountable.

If you're looking for someone to help guide you on a journey in the gym, I don't think there is anyone else I could reccomend other than Steven.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Steve is by far one of the most knowledgable trainers I have ever worked with. He’s helped me profoundly with my powerlifting program and I’ve been able to achieve some great results. All of Steve’s programs and methods are based on real world experience, and he himself is an elite powerlifter. I highly recommend Onyx Strength and Conditioning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been training with Steven for about 7 months now. I can confidently say he’s one of the best trainers out there. He’s professional, personable and knowledgeable. I’ve made amazing progress under his guidance and support.

I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the different aspects of the exercises he gives and can switch to alternatives if something isn’t working based on my own limitations.

If you’re looking for a trainer to help you with your goals, I highly recommend Onyx!
