Believing there is a Yin and Yang when it comes to training. We put tension and aggression in the body when we push through a hardcore gym workout, but there is also the emotional aspect that comes from releasing the tension and stress of training and everyday life. This comes from opening, stretching, and lengthening the body. Steve is Certified in Darhma Yoga. After learning that Darhma Mittra himself was a bodybuilder who turned himself inward to Yoga from the physical to the mental and spiritual side, he was intrigued by the effect of Yoga on a person’s physical and mental well-being and how certain poses calms the mind bringing a person to a higher state of consciousness. Today Steve incorporates Darhma Mittra’s 608 Yoga poses into his strength and training philosophy.

Steve chose to become a gym owner because he noticed there was a need in the market for a personal training gym in a private setting where clients would feel more comfortable to achieve their goals.
