Inspirational transformations

I became a personal trainer and started ‘A Better Body by Steve’ in 1999 and had my first 100lb weight-loss transformation by 2002. Since then, I've helped 100s of clients lose 1000s of pounds - but I learned a lot along the way. By 2010, my approach to fitness had shifted to a total-body focus where exercise, diet and healthy habits converge for optimal health. The use of simple, incremental and impactful changes yields greater success in your fitness goals as well as greater happiness and life satisfaction.

Skilled at:

  • shoehorning health into a busy lifestyle

  • exercising for optimal functionality

  • making healthy eating convenient and tasty

  • optimizing the effort you use to pursue health in order to better balance work, family & wellness

  • GETTING RESULTS

25 years of developing custom health and fitness programs has taught me how to balance a client’s health needs with the realities of their lifestyle. Successful professionals, busy parents and people otherwise swamped with life all need efficient health solutions.

Let me show you how I can help you fit health into your schedule.

“Steve has been great in helping me fit exercise into my busy schedule. I love his outside-the-box approach!”

“Steve's motivation and accountability really keeps me on track. He texts me with quick check-ins and follows up when I make promises (esp ones he thinks I can't keep!) He really cares!”

“Steve's FoodFeedback program made learning about food super easy! It was nice to get insight into what I was eating. The adjustments he suggested were small and easy to handle. Even though I have a long way to go, I feel good about the direction I'm going!”

“I use multiple services from A Better Body by Steve and find them to be tremendously valuable. After seeing a cardiologist and receiving an unpleasant diagnosis, I was looking for someone who had the tools to fix my unhealthy lifestyle. I've run a big company for years and used my lack of free time to justify eating poorly and not exercising. Steve worked with me to design solutions that fit my needs. With him I get exercises to keep my back and knees feeling great, nutritional coaching so I can enjoy food and still lose weight, as well as the motivation and accountability I need to keep it all up. It seems like Steve remains so accessible that I never feel like I'm doing this alone. He's always just a text away. Really just nothing but great things to say about Steve and his services. Highly recommend.”


Our Mission

A Better Body by Steve Inc. was started in the ‘90s with the desire to bring better health and fitness into people’s homes. Through a knowledgeable approach, we work hard to show you convenient ways to get to your health goals, regardless of your current fitness level. A workout should be ENJOYABLE! You should look forward to it rather than avoid it. And while structured diet and exercise is important, it’s not the only key to a healthier life. We promote simple lifestyle changes that will leave you feeling better and living a happier, healthier life.

Our core belief is that knowledge applied to a moderate and CONSISTENT approach can benefit everyone, at every level of ability. It should feel good to move forward, get in that extra rep, watch your waist line shrink, or meet any of the fitness goals you have set for yourself.

"While health is important, happiness is just as important. You should exercise and eat right to improve your happiness, too. That means exercises you tolerate and reasonable eating habits. Health without happiness is meaningless and moderation leads to long-term success."
