Steve Weingarten - Louisville's Personal Trainer

What My Clients Say

I had been working out on my own for a few years and had achieved some results. I decided to compete in April 2015 at the Derby competition and hired Steve to coach me through the process. The nutrition plan and workout routine that Steve provided for me really gave me great results and changed my body dramatically. I lost 20 pounds and over 10% body fat. His coaching really made the process simple! Steve's calm, confident demeanor and straightforward, no-gimmicks meal plans are the only way to go in my opinion!

I competed in my first competition in April and placed second in the Masters division. I continued my offseason with Steve and competed for the second and third time in October 2015. I took first place in both competitions in the 35+ Masters division, third place in novice, and fifth place in overall.

I really enjoyed the process of competing and Steve made it super simple and fun. I put my faith in Steve and I was rewarded at the competitions for my efforts!

I will use Steve in the future for my off-season and the next time that I compete!

"Steve is an expert on all aspects of fitness. He is well read and always studying the latest science on diet and exercise. It's important to me that I train with someone who is receptive and curious about new techniques and information." Beth Andrews Prospect, KY

I did my research when I chose Steve as my personal trainer. I wanted a trainer that would meet me where I was and design a personalized program. I was worried that, as a former college athlete, who was now in my 40’s and overweight and out of shape, that I would be treated as a coach potato. However, it was also important not to be asked to do things that were unsafe or unrealistic. Steve recognized immediately what motivates me and designed a program that would capitalize on my ability to build muscle and develop strength. My body transformed its’ shape almost immediately. Steve and I have been working together for over 4 years and I have lost 40 pounds, 3 suit sizes, and regained a level of fitness that works for me. He has also had patience throughout my ups and downs and has supported me to continue ...

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 to the basics" workout. Steve listened to my concerns and provided a fitness plan that was exactly what I wanted. Nine months have passed and I am the strongest I have ever been. I strength train with him twice a week and follow a nutrition plan that he developed specific to my needs. My body fat percentage has dropped, and I often get compliments that there is a visible change in my physique. I recommend Steve to anyone who?is serious about getting stronger and living a healthier life. Lindsey Gividen Louisville, KY

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 for it could have prevented my adrenal issues. I could not risk my time and health choosing just any trainer. I had an advantage of knowing Steve Weingarten and his ethics for almost two decades and I did my research before I chose him as I would with any doctor before treatment or surgery. Without any doubt, I trusted Steve and his integrity stood out with everything he did while working with me.Steve was very astute in assessing my abilities and built a plan that was "personalized" just for me. Steve did his research concerning my illness and I felt I ...

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 feel comfortable in a gym or trying to figure out how to properly use the equipment. So, I decided it was time I did myself a favor and I contacted Steve. Steve is a true professional. The guidance I received about working out and eating clean has made a huge difference. Steve puts you at ease and focuses on your personal progress. I’m more middle-aged now but I’m stronger and built better than ever. I can highly recommend Steve Weingarten as the personal trainer of choice. Derek Stobaugh Louisville, KY

Derek Stobaugh

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 tried to lose weight, only to fail and gain more back. I decided something dramatic had to change or I would find myself with serious health conditions by the time I was 50. (Looming fast) I was not going to let that occur. I made up my mind to not go on a diet, but rather, change my eating habits to a regimen I could maintain the rest of my life. I focused on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and unprocessed foods in general. I knew exercise must be a key part of this plan - So forward I moved. ...

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 ...
