Feet: From the Ground Up

For a few years, while she was establishing herself as a neuromuscular expert on feet, Dr. Emily Splichal, a NYC podiatrist, was a source of highly technical yet superbly functional webinars (this is but one link on youtube) on the foot. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who works with athletes prone to footRead More

Shoeless Running

last week i discussed the idea of running shoeless; today another article popped up about this that concludes shoes make us run differently than we would if barefoot. whereas the previous article suggested not to run on solid, hard surfaces, this one suggests barefoot would still soften the impact of foot strike as you’d beRead More

Shoeless Joe

Some of you may be old enough, or have seen the movie, “Field of Dreams”, to remember the name “shoeless” Joe. I’m old enough to know the name but not the reason he got this name.  However, for almost 20 yrs, the idea that mankind should not be wearing fancy expensive hi-tech shoes for runningRead 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.
