Diet and Mental Health

as we move further into our new year’s resolutions, esp those centered around eating and exercising, here’s one to consider. this is the first to show a link between healthy EATING, not simply components of a diet like vitamins or antioxidants, but real food, and mental health. women should rejoice as simply eating more fruitsRead More

In this piece she suggests, with someRead More

Another Day in Fitness Land

It may be self-indulgent to share one’s personal or professional endeavors and thoughts on a daily basis. that’s what blogging is about. but sometimes you actually have much to say that would be beneficial for others to hear. This past summer, TIME mag ran a piece that was very controversial, esp among fitness people. theRead More

Intro to Fitness Nerdville

Welcome to my blog-world. this is my first foray into blogging so please excuse my style – I don’t like capitalizing because it slows down my typing. As an exercise professional, a personal trainer with a ph.d. in ex science, I am always on the lookout for material that’s valid and reliable to share withRead More

I am so grateful to have found STEPS. I sustained an ankle fracture and felt there was nowhere to go with one weight bearing leg. I was accustomed to fitness being part of my daily life. Darryl has given me back my endorphins and improved my spirits. His experience training athletes has been so helpful. He is creative and patient. Meeting Irv and learning about his expertise, dedication to his clients, and his gym made me feel safe and understood. The space is large and the equipment is full. This is also the cleanest gym I have seen. I most highly recommend STEPS.

This was my very first experience with a private gym and personal trainer. The owner and trainer made me feel very comfortable and at home. The gym is very clean and well equipped. I felt the price was VERY well worth the time attention I received. I will return once my work schedule becomes more predictable.
