Testimonials

After having children, I lost my size three body. I didn’t so much mind being bigger as much as not being able to get things done and the lack of energy.

When you’re overweight and out of shape the mere thought of working out is painful. You look on the TV and see those perky skinny people telling you how great you’ll feel and figure OK, they’re right, I’ll try it. Then you try it, and you don’t feel good, in fact you feel closer to death. That hardcore approach may look good on shows like the Biggest Loser, but for me, there is no way I would continue on a program that made me feel badly or made my body hurt like that.

Well, I’m here to tell you that done correctly you can feel good from day one. I know it sounds like a lie, but it isn’t. I have embarked on this twice now and both times I’ve felt great.

I first worked with Steve from 2000-2004 and he assisted me to get in much better shape. His techniques are realistic with where you are at physically, so you never overdo it and you can actually enjoy working out. I worked with him over that time and dropped about 75 pounds and it stayed off.

In 2008, I got very ill and required three surgeries. I had gained some of the weight back but my big thing is that I want to increase my stamina.  I started to work with Steve again a few weeks ago and I have to tell you I’m still amazed. The first workout we just stretched. My posture came back. I could bend over. I felt better. I have a way to go, but I know that this approach works and I feel a thousand percent better already. When have I ever in all my years looked forward to workouts? Well before working with Steve, I’ll tell you how many – never. Now, it’s the highlight of my days.

Thanks Steve, you are once again saving my life.

“I wasn’t one to exercise on a regular basis although as I got older I knew it was really necessary. I was having a serious problem with my left shoulder which I had repeated injured. It was hurting all the time and getting stiffer and stiffer. I couldn’t raise my arm above the shoulder or reach around to my back anymore without extreme pain. I went to chiropractors, a massage therapist and even had an MRI. A year then two went by. Nothing handled it and it got steadily worse to the point where I realized I was going to have a frozen shoulder if I didn’t do something about it.

“I knew exercise was probably the answer, but nothing I was doing was working, so I called Steve. Within one workout I could tell the difference, after a month my shoulder was almost back to normal, in two months I could stretch my arm out fully and had full range of motion back. It was a miracle!

“Steve’s workouts are different each time, depending on what my body needs. He always consults me on what is going on and he customizes the workout to ME!
When I leave a workout, I’m always energized. I’m ready to take a long walk or swim a mile! I have so much energy. He never works me to the point where I’m sore the next day (or week) like other trainers sometimes do, and I think I get better results than many of my friends. Steve knows what a particular body can do and what it needs and he creates around that.

“I would never work out as hard or effectively on my own. Certainly I would never get the results in this short a time. It’s amazing.

“And perhaps the best part is that Steve is fun to work out with! I eagerly look forward to each session! He’s the best trainer on this planet and I feel very fortunate to be able to train with him!”

“Steve has been my personal trainer for over fifteen years.  My husband recommended him and Steve is a genius on getting the most out of my workouts.  He has a knack of being able to spot out-points and keeps me on track with the correct routine for the correct problem.  I even had a much younger girl comment a while back on how she wanted her body to look like mine.  I am over 50!  What a testimonial to Steve.  Thank you so much!”

“Steve has been so instrumental in my fitness routines and workouts.  He is the master of knowing what you need when you need it.  Although I have been working out routinely for over thirty years (so I think I know a few things about weight training), Steve has forgotten more than I will ever know.  No one I have ever met understands training like Steve.”

“I am a mother, I work full-time, and of course – I have wanted to improve my health and my body (in my spare time!). Unfortunately it can be challenging to juggle all of these things and still find time to get in a work out. I was looking for someone who could really make the most of a short period time and really deliver results!

“After trying a variety of programs; from kick-boxing to pilates sessions – I discovered that using Steve as a personal trainer was the best fit for my wants and needs. He is so well-versed in this field…there was nothing that he wasn’t able to tackle with me and achieve success! His stretching is amazing and I have never felt so exhausted and exhilarated at the same time! Thank you Steve!”

“I was introduced to Steve Bloomberg in 1985. A good friend of mine had been working out with Steve and I came to realize that I was probably in the worst shape of my life. Having been a wrestler in Division I, I knew what it would take but didn’t have the incentive.

“Through Steve’s workout regime, I was able to get back into shape and gleaned the healthful effects of a consistent workout regime combined with aerobics.

“I have been consistently working out since that time and I am now 63 and in better shape than the vast majority of my peers. I have to give Steve the greatest credit for this because he inspired me to be where I am today.”

“I first met Steve in the early 1980’s when he was a college student at TCU and trained at the same gym I did in Ft. Worth Texas. Even at that young age he was an innovative trainer who was experiencing far above average results . Shortly afterwards he opened up his legendary Balloons Gym. I believe I was either the 1st or one of the 1st paying members. Some of my greatest workouts were at that facility. It was as hardcore as it got – much like Metroflex is today. Balloons Gym was an awesome place.

“Steve suffered a tragic accident while he was just about to really make a name for his self in the powerlifting world. This may have turned into a blessing as he then put his efforts into becoming one of the first real successful personal trainers. He trained everyone from competitive bodybuilders and powerlifters to Miss Texas winners and everything in between. He has taken his hardcore roots and turned his knowledge of bodybuilding, personal training and general fitness and now markets to the elite of society with great success.”

- Brian Dobson, owner of World-Famous Metroflex Gym, home of some of the world’s best athletes and bodybuilders

“I wanted to take a moment and tell anyone who is interested in getting their body back into optimum shape about my experience working with Steve Bloomberg.

“I am 52 years old. I have suffered from bad backs and being over weight for most of my adult life. I have gone to the gym many times on my own and have even hired trainers to assist me on my workouts. Early this year, I started working out with Steve and I have to tell you what a huge difference it made.

“Steve has forgotten more about the human body then most people even care to know. He is a real professional; he sticks to basics regarding the body. Steve never concerns himself with the current fad; he deals only with the foundation of having a healthy, pain free body, exercise & nutrition. And he knows these subjects cold.

“Get with Steve and allow him to help you. You will be glad you did, I know I was.

“Thanks Steve, for helping me have a body with which I can live life to its fullest.”
