Steve is a great personal trainer with a clean gym. This is my first experience working out and I haven’t been disappointed, he also helped with tips on eating healthier and I’m happy with my results so far.

As my husband and I entered our mid 60’s, we began to notice a decline in our strength and flexibility. For accountability reasons, we knew we wanted a personal and private trainer. We discovered “My Fitness Answer” and truly can’t say enough to express how pleased we are since signing up with owner/trainer, Steve Hieskell. Steve was able to quickly assess our current fitness level and began leading us through a workout that has brought about quick and significant gains in just four weeks since our training began. We can say unequivocally that our progress under Steve’s training has far exceeded our expectations! The state-of-the-art equipment at My Fitness Answer is everything and more that any senior citizen would need to achieve their fitness goals! - Daryle Lynn Scott #couldn’tbehappier

Steve has great balance and understanding of what areas of exercise and working out will benefit my daughter the most towards achieving her track goals. She never complains about working out with Steve and results are starting to show. He has an extensive amount of quality equipment and is well versed on using it which makes him great to work with. Overall I have been extremely satisfied with My Fitness Answer.

My Fitness Answer's reply

Thank you Brian for the great review. It is a joy to be training your daughter. She is always up for a challenge and gives 110% every session. She listens very well and tries to perfect her form each time. Her speed, conditioning and strength has improved so much since starting. Her efforts produced a 2nd place finish in the 400 meters at BG Sid Sink Open out of 60 other participants. I look forward to each time she trains.
