Strumos Fitness

I was looking for guidance and felt like the ones at the gym wouldn't be there for me. Thankfully I remembered I know Coach Strumos. He knows everything to know about fitness and getting in shape, he cares about who he's working with, and wants you to achieve your goals as much as you do. If you want 100% dedication and results, Coach Strumos is the first person you should call.

I came to Stephen to see if he could help me heal some chronic injuries from marathon training. I’ve had these injuries for 3+ years, have seen every kind of western medicine doc you can imagine. I decided to work with Stephen based on a glowing referral from my acupuncturist.It’s now been a few months and working with Stephen has been great! He takes the time to really understand my injuries and what we can do together to get me stronger and to hopefully heal them. He thinks differently than any doctor or PT I’ve seen. His own personal story and healing process lends itself to helping me get to where I want to be.He curates a workout plan just for me each week. He’s always there whenever I’ve had any questions or needed a hype man to get through some workouts. I’ve worked long and hard to build a team of people to help me get back to running, and Stephen is definitely one of them!

I started working with Stephen, about two year post-fracture of distal humerus. Due to nature of my work, I also had occasional back pain and neck pain. Stephen is different than your regular trainer because of:1. His diagnostic ability: He understands anatomy of human body. The depth of his understanding is enforced not by the job requirements but by pure interest. In order to pin point pain and the cause, he may ask the client to do exercises and watch them and then suggest corrective movements based on those. As the client, I appreciate his work and attention to detail only after the corrective moves start to feel better and his explains what the issue was and why the treatments worked. This brings me to the next point.2. Communication Ability: Stephen has extensive knowledge in the field AND is willing to answer any questions you have and more. People say if you give a hungry man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Stephen's coaching teaches you fishing in my opinion (i.e. you have a basic understanding of how to put together workouts after working with him for some time). This is of course self-paced depending on the extent your curiosity and wanting to learn.3. Myth-busting Ability: We often see how when something is deemed beneficial or harmful in the fitness world, everybody jumps on that bandwagon. However, Stephen does research before doing so. In a lot of cases, the majority opinion is wrong. For instance, knee over toes when squatting is bad, back bending during deadlifts is bad, etc. Stephen has the knowledge to tell you how these common notions came about and when they are applicable. He also knows when it's okay and even beneficial to override these public rules of thumb.Overall, having Stephen gets rid of all the excuses/concerns which are obstacles in reaching your goals and you can get there if you are willing to put in the work.So if you are looking for a trainer because you are dealing with pain/injury or are tired of fishing out the true bits of info from fitness media, then your search is over. You have found the perfect guy!

I have been training with Stephen Strumos for about eight weeks now. I've never had personal training or lifted weights before. Stephen is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes extra time to explain everything and ensure my safety. He also makes me feel accomplished. He is patiently and supportively coaching and pushing me to do more than I thought I could do. Since starting I have noticed a remarkable difference in the way I feel physically and mentally which has been very motivating. I am also having a lot of fun. I highly recommend Stephen if you are considering a trainer. You would be very lucky to work with him.

I've been a client for 12 weeks because I needed help rehabbing a chronic injury that I had 10 years ago.In those 3 months I learned when to push and when to leave something in the tank"

I started working with Stephen to get rid of my chronic back pain. I have my sessions with him over the zoom from US. Throughout the process I also got so much stronger. I’m so thankful to Stephen that I’m able to keep up with the physical demands of 2 small children. I never looked this fit and that strong in my life. He is so professional, detail oriented and a true pleasure to work with.

Coach Stephen is fantastic! He is so personable and caters my goals as an individual.I had a lower back injury and he was responsible for helping me understand the step by step process in getting better and now I’m hitting all time PRs again! What differentiates him from other coaches is his patience with the educational process. He is the man!

Since day one, Stephen has been nothing short of patient and supportive as he's guided me through working on my health goals. Although I'm someone who uses a mobility aid and have limited physical abilities, he's been able to work around my challenges and create a plan that helps to keep me healthy and as active as possible. He's also incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and how adaptable the human body really is, and is great at helping you recognize your own potential. I'd recommend him to anyone no matter how small or large their fitness and health goals are!

I've really enjoyed working with Stephen the last 3 months. As someone with medical issues and things to work around I was nervous about working with a coach I couldn't see or see me. Thankfully it's never been an issue. He understood all of my concerns and I can see how each exercise is meant for me. He makes modifications when needed and the custom program is really working. I like having the flexibility to workout on my own schedule and having the accountability of a personal trainer. Happy to recommend.
