Breast Cancer, Lymphedema and Weight Training

So, let’s consider the many reasons to NOT exercise: No time, inconvenience, don’t like it, hurts, boring, have to shower after, work/family/other obligations, too out of shape, sick….the doctors said I shouldn’t/can’t. Whoa! What the hell kind of doc says you should not exercise? Anathema! Sin! Short-sighted! That is the case for some with medicalRead 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.
