SDH Fitness - Stonehaven

Clarissa D.

I've been training with Steve for a year now, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. I'm 45 and had never used a gym before, nor had any regular exercise routine. I was quite nervous at the start, but Steve made me feel at ease right away. He’s friendly, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable.

Beyond our training sessions, Steve also gives me nutrition guidance and even offers regular body composition checks at no extra cost. When I first started, I saw a few red flags in those results, but now, everything’s within the healthy range—which still amazes me!

What really stands out is how Steve’s support has helped me build lasting habits. I now exercise regularly even outside our sessions and make better food choices without feeling restricted. I've noticed some muscle definition (a first for me!), I feel stronger, more confident in my clothes, and my posture has improved significantly.

Steve truly walks the talk—he’s not only a great trainer but also an inspiring person, consistently challenging himself with races and ultra-marathons. If you're looking for a personal trainer who genuinely cares, motivates, and helps you build real, lasting change, Steve is your guy.

I love Steve's classes! He offers lots of different options so whatever level of fitness you are at you can work at your own pace. He gives supportive individual feedback throughout the classes to help you make the most of the exercises. I used to find in other fitness classes that I'd spend so much time getting up and down off the floor that the exercise would be over by the time I was ready but with Steve's classes I can take part in every exercise and I've learned that speed doesn't necessarily mean you are working effectively. Steve's classes are targeted and are really improving my core strength, flexibility and fitness. He repeats the exercises so as you go through the week you feel more confident in the class and therefore work more effectively. The ethos in the classes is friendly, supportive and Steve offers lovely little nuggets of wisdom as to why an exercise will help. Give the classes a go- you'll find a lovely group of people all working hard on their own goals being led by an inspiring and knowledgeable trainer.

I have worked with Steve for almost a year now and he is excellent at what he does. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of fitness and healthy living. He does not judge and is super encouraging to everyone whatever their ability. He trains you hard if you wish but gives you options if he sees you are struggling and makes sure that you maintain form to avoid any injuries. His classes are enjoyable and offer a variety of different formats and exercises. with his on- line classes he is still able to offer a high standard as he communicates well and frequently checks that you are still doing the exercises correctly. He supports you to achieve your best and more and always makes you think positively about your fitness.

Steve is a first class PT with a wealth of knowledge and experience. No matter what fitness level you are, Steve caters his classes for all, while providing a supportive and personable touch at all times.

Steve has been able to adapt to lockdown by offering a variety of classes on a virtual platform and has maintained a sense of community within his client base.

Outwith lockdown, he also has a studio which provides 1to1 PT sessions or group workouts. All classes are seamlessly booked through the Class Fit App. The App also offers nutrition and general health programmes and Steve regularly posts on social media with nuggets of wisdom.

Furthermore Steve offers his services at a price point to suit all budgets.

No matter what your goals are I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. He should be your go to PT for anyone looking to progress their health, fitness and well being.

To some Personal Training may have a negative stigma but Steve will showcase the positive side and you won’t look back.

I can highly recommend SDH Fitness. Steve is always positive and enthusiastic and his genuine passion for health and well-being is infectious. I have worked with Steve both in person at the gym and also ‘virtually’, he is full of encouragement and always tailors the exercise to the individual. His online classes were just what I needed to keep me motivated during lockdown. I look forward to continuing my training with Steve and having his wealth of knowledge and experience to help me achieve my own fitness goals.

Have worked with Steve as my trainer for over a year now. Am always impressed by his great attitude which is very encouraging. He’s very experienced so always has varied and interesting exercises and understands the physiology behind the muscles being worked. He’s great both for 1 on 1 PT sessions as well as classes (really miss the classic dance tunes from an early morning spin class 😉 ).

Steve is a first class instructor who goes out of his way to develop a fitness programme to help you achieve your desired goals. His advice on nutrition and eating plans perfectly complements the fitness programme.

Highly recommend Steve. He is fantastic with all levels of ability and gives lots of options of exercise to accommodate that. He has so much patience and great communication skills. Great in person and virtual online classes. So knowledgeable about fitness and how to achieve results.
