I have known Steve for over 20 years. We started talking about working together 4 years ago but I could never nail down the appropriate time. When I decided to do the Master's National's this year, I had very high expectations (to win my class in the 40 and 50 ...

Since having Steve Weingarten as my coach, I’ve seen tremendous results. Steve’s meal plan and workouts helped me lose a total of 20 pounds of fat! Steve helped me bring my very best package to date and I won Open Figure Overall at the Kentucky Muscle Bodybuilding show October 2018. ...

Kezia Mullen

When I first met Steve I honestly didn't know if I ever wanted to compete. I was terrified of anyone even seeing me outside of my baggy hoodies and even bigger sweat pants. I was even more terrified for Steve to look at me for the first time.. I imagined ...

Jodie Engle

I started working with Steve back in May of 2018 after running into him at my wife's figure competition. He had reached out to me about competing in the Kentucky Open and after a few days to think it over, I agreed. I had entered into a 16-week prep starting ...

I had always been a gym rat but was just staying fit and going through the motions. Who would have thought at the age of 47 that I would be interested in getting into a physique competition? I had no clue of what to do and what it really took ...

Tyrone Burroughs

Seeking a coach for my first competition, Steve came highly recommended. I made the 3.5-hour drive to meet him and left more informed and excited to begin working towards my goal.

Steve helped me achieve one of my lifelong dreams: to compete in a bodybuilding event. I’ve lifted weights for a quarter of a century, always trying but never reaching a level at which I could compete. About 3 years ago, I had Steve measure my body fat and asked his ...

This year I competed in my first two shows, Kentucky Natural and Kentucky Muscle. Having never competed before, I was beyond lost on how to prepare. Fortunately, a couple months prior to my first show I was introduced to Steve Weingarten. Steve was able to assess my physique and come up ...

Paula Catt

I started working with Steve in 2012. I was 19% body fat and we reduced it to 9% body fat. Excited about prepping for my first show, I overdid it and sprained my lateral meniscus eliminating me from competing for two years. During this time, I became depressed, frustrated, and ...

Danya Trowel

After extensively reviewing a ton of prep coaches, I reached out to Steve to help me with nutrition and posing after I decided to compete in a bodybuilding show. In simple terms, Steve built a nutrition plan that worked. Almost immediately the number on the scale started to drop and continued ...

Stephen McKnight

Will Smith

I had always thought about doing a physique competition, but never felt that confident to actually go after it. Finally I said that I was going to do it. Six weeks away from the competition I was introduced to Steve. He said we had a short time to prepare but I ...

Tim McClellan

Is producing one champion after another a mere coincidence? I think not! Steve has done it over and over again, and that’s why I hired him. And he did the same for me! If you're looking for a coach who will go that extra mile, then Steve is your man. I just achieved ...

Tristen Hines

I have been an NPC competitor for two years now. What a difference my second year made, after I hired Steve to coach me! I would have to compare Steve to the "DOC" from Back to the Future! He's been there, done that, and will continue to succeed with anyone’s personal ...

Phillip Palmer

After lifting weights for more than 30 years, I was in a state of disappointment. Yes I was strong, but you sure couldn't tell it. I had listened to all the free "gym advice" and nothing seemed to work as far as getting rid of the fat covering up muscle ...

Rob Miller

At 48 years old I found myself at nearly 350 lbs on my 6’ 2” frame, with elevated blood sugars and knees that could not lift me from a chair without a struggle. The weight gain did not happen over night, but over a span of 15 years. Sure, I’d ...

For the past four years, since moving to Louisville, I have struggled to find a trainer who was a good fit for me. Everyone was trying to keep up with the newest trends and exercise regimens, while I was simply looking for someone to give me an old school "back ...

Lindsey Gividen

I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and severe adrenal exhaustion. Crucial to my recovery is supervised exercise involving proper weight training technique. I know now that investing in a properly trained, knowledgeable and experienced personal trainer is investing in myself. In retrospect, I wish I had done this earlier in life ...

Tiffany Blunk Guerrero RN, BSN

Back in 1999, when Millennium Madness excited the world, I was simply mad that I found myself weak, middle-aged and carrying a spare tire where I didn’t need one. I was fitness-minded, meaning I obsessed about food while eating donuts and I worked out…sometimes. I was never athletic and didn’t ...
