     “I’ve known Steven R. Pierce for approximately 6 years. I can honestly say he has been a big influence in my life. Steve has also encouraged me to eat healthier, staying fit and most importantly, he has helped me build a stronger relation with God. I’ve been working out with Mr. Pierce since High School and if it wasn’t for Pierce I probably wouldn’t have this strong desire to be so healthy or so fit! Now my body is in shape and couldn’t feel any healthier that I do now thanks to Mr. Pierce!”

     “I didn’t think I could do it. This class has made me get outside and try other things and not be so tied to the gym. With Steve, my body is being pushed in a different way and when doing new things, I get better results, plus it helps to have someone there watching so you don’t give up so easily. Steven Pierce has motivated me to stay focused on my personal fitness.”

      “Steve keeps me focused on my goals & pushes me beyond my own expectations. The changes in my body have been phenomenal, leaner, stronger, healthier. My eating habits have improved tremendously & Lana’s advice about eating was very helpful. I enjoyed how Steven modified some of the drills for those us with “more worn” joints. The group class allows for an overall workout and one-on-one time. I’ve already recruited two friends for the next go-around. Steve, I need a discount.”

      “Having a scheduled time and place to work out every week was a huge motivator for me. I also like the fact that the workouts were very challenging at times, which took me way out of my comfort zone! I prefer the group challenge experience with a personal trainer over the member-based gym. I never use my gym membership. My body seems more toned in a number of places.”

      “Steven’s various exercises, music, workout equipment and meeting in various locations kept me focused on personal fitness and prevented exercise boredom. I am more flexible, stronger. I have more energy. I’ve lost weight and made wiser food choices. I prefer a group, its smaller and less intimidating than a member-based gym. Steve was available to address personal concerns. I highly recommend Steven.”

      “Steven Pierce has motivated me. I can hear his voice when I’m working out on my own to stay focused and to keep going. I’m more conscience of what I eat and I have lost considerable inches as a direct result of the physical training and food knowledge that Steven has given me. He remembers everyone’s name and constantly challenged us to go further in each class and on our own and during the group setting. I like the group challenge experience better. I was able to personally draw strength and encouragement from different members and hopefully they were able to do the same from me. I hope there’s a challenge every season.”

      “Steven Pierce is a life saver. I am a slimmer person and my eating habits are much better. I never ate fruit. I eat it daily now. The best thing about the class was the way Steven believes in us.”

     “Steve has been a great motivator. I enjoy working out with him every class. I'm aware of the foods I put in my body. The thought of eating candy and chip doesn't go well with a power pack work out. And I also watch portion size no more super sizing. The best thing I loved about the class was the way Steven encourage us to push ourselves to work harder and the simple things one can do to improve their health. Thanks Steve, see you next challenge!”

      “Steve has helped me to stay focused. I enjoy working out in a group because we help motivate and encourage one another. I've always been a healthier eater, but when I think about cheating, I think Steve is watching somewhere. Yes, I have noticed a change in my body. It’s toning up. I have a two pack, working on the six pack. Four more to go. I can fit a size 8 now. What I like best about the class is we seem like a family even though we just met the beginning of the New Year. I'm really happy about being involved in the fitness program and I look forward to staying involved in a healthy lifestyle of fitness. Can't wait to see what’s next.”

Tanisha Franklin

      “Steven has really motivated me. He has such a positive spirit and that rubs off on the whole group. I was not very focused at the beginning of the challenge due to my schedule but after I start coming to the scheduled sessions regularly, I have been very focused thanks to Steven. The thing that I enjoyed most about the class is the energy that everyone have. I really enjoy working out with people that want to see a difference. I didn't feel uncomfortable working out because everybody was basically in the same boat. If I had to choose, I would say that I prefer a group experience.”
