Meet Steven

Years in the industry: 12

I wanted to be in a personal training facility that supports and nurtures growth for both clients and team members. It is hard to find a gym that is not just commercially driven. I wanted to start and run a fitness business that operates on core values.

Who are your biggest influences in the industry ?

I was lucky when I first entered the industry to work under Ben Gotting, who definitely influenced the direction of my personal training career. I take inspiration from trainers such as Lucas Sheehan and Steve Hall who achieve absolutely fantastic results with their clients.

Why do you train?

My motives and goals are constantly changing, but the the one consistent reason why I train for is the productivity and mental clarity I get from being physically healthy. I’m focused on going into my 40s in better shape than I was in my 20s.

What advice would you give a beginner getting into training?

Draw inspiration from others but take responsibility for your own actions. Relinquish excuses that are holding you back. Don’t be too hard or too easy on yourself.

What's your favourite thing about working with the clients?

I love being part of someone’s journey. I find it very rewarding watching someone grow in confidence and fall in love with the process.

I've been training at The Cut for a number of years now, and cannot recommend Steve and his team highly enough. The newly-extended gym space has a modern feel, is well equipped, and the atmosphere on the gym floor is welcoming. Even when training at peak times, the gym feels spacious, you never find yourself waiting around to use equipment, and there is a very personal feel to the place.

The Cut is suitable for all levels - from true beginners to the most seasoned gym-goer, and having trained at a number of other personal training gyms in the past, I believe this gym occupies a unique position in the market; you are pushed hard, and held accountable, yet there is zero intimidation and the training is truly tailored to the individual.

After what has been a very difficult couple of years for the fitness industry generally, it speaks volumes for Steve and his team that they have not only survived during that time, but thrived by expanding the gym floor and growing the team. It's a great place to train, run by a team of people who demonstrably care about achieving results for their clients.
