I was first introduced to Steve through my boyfriend who also trains with him at the Strength Spot, and started training in the beginning of 2025! Before training at The Strength Spot, I had been an athlete growing up, and had only gone to local gyms like cardio express or planet fitness, but I didn’t have a routine, wasn’t really focused on what worked for my body and didn’t have the proper guidance. After meeting Steve and training with him, we focused on strengthening my lower back and core, I was struggling with a back injury at the time and then had developed Fibromyalgia which had caused weakness issues throughout my body. So the training we’ve done has focused on strengthening my core and lower body to improve my stability, and help strengthen the weakness I was having and training with Steve has changed my overall mindset when it comes to working out. He’s helped give me the mindset that I can do this, that I’m stronger than I think, even with the challenges I’ve faced that I can overcome any of it. I’ve had a few flare ups with the fibromyalgia where my legs were trembling during a workout and Steve has been there to help and push me through it, small setbacks only make room for bigger comebacks. I’ve learned that dedication and patience in training is key to getting where you want to be. It’s okay to have days where you’re not okay and you push through it. He’s helped me raise my standard of what I want for myself and building myself into who I want to be. He’s helped people of all ages, all body types, all strengths and he can help you too! Steve is a motivator, he’s an inspiration and amazing friend. No matter what part of your fitness journey you’re on, he’s the one who will help motivate you to get you to your goals and keep you focused! Checkout The Strength Spot!! It changed my life and it could change yours too!

I just joined in November, and I am very happy. Stephen Calarco takes the time and effort to understand each person's needs and goals and tailors workouts for individuals. The small group workouts are capped with very low attendance which makes it possible for each person to follow their individual program under Stephen's watchful eye. He cares about his clients, and it shows.

I have only been working with Steve for a year now, but I immediately had a customized plan put together for me to suit my goals. At the strength spot there is a perfect balance of assistance and independence, critiquing form to prevent injuries or accidents, while also adjusting regimen for increased physical health. Raising the standard is a focus during every session, pushing myself to be the best that I can everyday.

I trained on my own for years, but after a significant hamstring injury, I wasn’t sure how to work out safely and felt a little lost in the gym for the first time in a long time. As a result, I decided to look for a personal trainer who could support me during my recovery and help me achieve my goals. Stephen is exactly the kind of personal trainer I was looking for. He is highly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and listens carefully to what his clients need. As I was recovering from an injury, Stephen modified exercises for me so that they were safe but still challenging. After training with Stephen for 6 months, I'm the strongest I’ve ever been (and fully recovered!). I would recommend Stephen to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer who truly supports their goals.

I’ve been training with Steve for a little over two years now. We initially met and trained together in 2014 until he left CT to further his education. Since working with Steve again I have lost about 30lbs while simultaneously increasing muscle mass. Changing body composition takes time and patience, and without Steve’s coaching- physical, nutritional, and at times mental, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Steve is dedicated to providing quality coaching and will create a program to accommodate your individual goals/needs. He is diligent on making sure his clients have proper form thus helping to prevent potential injury. I genuinely look forward to every session— not only because of Steve but his other clients as well. Everyone is so friendly and inviting, you’ll feel right at home in no time.

I have had the pleasure of knowing the owner Stephen Calarco since I was 14 years old. I started with Steve when he was working for custom built training at cardio express. The one thing that was obvious from day one with Steve is his passion for fitness and helping people reach their fitness goals. Steve has faced many obstacles in life but his consistency as a trainer is unmatched. I have had the pleasure to watch him build this successful business and see new waves of clients come in and become family. When you go to the strength spot you feel like you’re at home. The environment that he has created is phenomenal. To many people the strength spot is a safe place, people can go there, be with friends, have a great workout and put the stress of everyday life on the back burner for awhile. One more final thing, I personally am very busy, but Steve holds me accountable about getting in my workouts and keeping my mindset on my goals. I am truly honored to have Steve as a strength coach and a great lifelong friend. I highly recommend anyone to come in and check it out. It doesn’t matter if your a beginner or and division 1 athlete the strength spot is a place for everyone! I’m excited to see the success of this business grow!! Come on down to the strength spot!!! You will not regret it!

When I found The Strength Spot, I had not exercised consistently for 6-8 years. I was looking for serious exercise guidance and development when I found The Strength Spot. I have now been working with Coach Steve for several months in both individual and group training sessions. He is one of the most thoughtful, organized, and communicative trainers I have ever worked with. When building my program, he took into account my past history with exercise, my goals, any prior injuries, and all other relevant pieces of my personal history. When we're training, he explains why he chose each movement and how it contributes to my overall goals. He really takes into consideration the individual he's working with and has a wealth of knowledge on precisely how to get you where you want to be, regardless of where you are starting. There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach here. The gym itself is also incredibly clean and equipped for many different types of exercise. Overall, Coach Steve is an exceptional trainer and I am so grateful to have found The Strength Spot.

I've been a member of Strength Spot for a year+ and couldn't be happier with my experience. Steven keeps a meticulous gym - clean and well maintained with superior equipment. He is supportive and knowledgeable and I've seen improvements in my health and motivation. He promotes a feeling of community at the gym and I enjoy my 2/week trainings. Highly recommend if you are looking for a welcoming and effective gym experience!
