SVZ Internal Performance Center

I started going to Steve a few weeks ago because I have been suffering with back, neck and shoulder pain for years, everything I have tried including chiropractic, yoga, Pilates and physical therapy hadn’t helped at all in fact sometimes makes it worse .I was diagnosed 16 years ago with Multiple Sclerosis and although I am very lucky to be able to walk and do all that I do , everyday is a struggle with pain. Steve teaches you about your body and muscles and how they work which makes you understand each and every exercise better.
Working out used to be sweating and a lot or pain afterwards , now it is slow controlled movements with intention and focus on which muscle I am working on.
He also has been teaching me how to go to the gym where I have a membership and use the machines correctly. I’m happy I met Steve and I feel this will help me overcome the pain and suffering I have had to endure for years and years.
Try the one time FREE session before paying another trainer and you wont be disappointed.

A few years ago, I injured my back doing squats. An Xray revealed lumbar scoliosis I never knew I had and mild disc degeneration.

After the injury, my back was never the same. Sudden, sharp lower back pains became a daily occurrence, my back ached and some days I had trouble standing up straight.
I sought pain relief from MDs, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapy… Any relief was only temporary.
Exercising on my own triggered my back pain, so I stopped that too.
At 30 yrs old I was worried how my back would feel longterm if I did nothing…

I realized the only way to prevent further injury would be to strengthen my back so I decided to seek help from a qualified trainer.
That is why I go to SVZ.

Steve trains me 1-2x per week. It has been 2 months and already my back feels SO much better. I am feeling stronger and my back pain has lessened significantly!

Steve teaches me proper form and emphasizes the importance of rep QUALITY over quantity or amount of weight. He explains the purpose of each exercise and backs it up with his knowledge of muscle anatomy & physiology. He also teaches how to modify exercises so that I can do them at the gym on my own using different equipment.

I highly recommend SVZ to anyone who wants to learn the correct way to strength train and prevent injury.

I was born with a rare collagen disorder and as a result I now have a severe scoliosis which has caused me significant pain and disability. I was having a difficult time doing simple things like cooking, shopping and just making it through the day at work. Physical therapy did not help. The chiropractor could not help me. The neurosurgeon told me to stop exercising which made me even worse. The orthopedist says I need surgery.

But since I started to train with Steve, my pain has markedly improved. I can cook, shop and get through my day much easier now. I am getting better with every session.

Steve is knowledgeable and customizes my training sessions so that I am able to get stronger without getting injured and in spite of my disability. His goal is that I won’t ever need surgery. Sounds good to me!

Steve is a miracle worker and has been a God send!

You won’t be disappointed!

I have been working with Steve at SVZ for a few months now and it has been truly life changing. Not only has Steve truly shown the right way to train, but I’ve lost 15 lbs and 4% body fat. Steve cuts through the BS and truly knows his stuff. He is a master level trainer with a thirst for knowledge. Public Service Announcement – Do a complimentary one hour session with Steve before signing on with any other trainer! He is the best of the best. Thank you SVZ

I have been going to Maya for over a year. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and a lot of fun. I had a shoulder injury that I had seen a physical therapist for and still had residue pain. She made a MAT treatment and exercise plan and within weeks was 100% pain free and considerable stronger. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!
