Winter – or 30th Anniversary – 2019 Pillar 1: The Winter of Our Discontent In the summer of 1986, my colleague, Kathy Alexander, and I wondered what we would do once we finished our dissertations in exercise science at Vandy. At the time, there were very few options in that field: academia, hospital-based wellness andRead More

Spring 2019 Another Fitness Myth, Busted!

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.
