Steve Alley biography Steve Alley is a certified personal trainer devoted to helping his clients achieve their individual goals with a systemic approach through functional training and nutritional coaching. Through 15 years of education, training and research, he has developed expertise at designing programs that achieve maximum results using simple tools and motions to improve overall health. Unlike less effective machine-based exercise regimens that target specific muscle groups, Steve’s customized programs recognize the body as a single three-dimensional unit that moves together, providing strength, flexibility and weight loss through the natural motions of the human body. Steve’s high-intensity workouts appeal to a wide audience — from athletes wanting to improve performance to people simply wanting to tone and tighten. After a health evaluation and goal definition, he designs a short-term plan for each client, then continually monitors, re-evaluates and refines the client’s program as he or she progresses. This leads to the highest level of effectiveness, while maintaining safety and engagement. Working exclusively in Birmingham, Franklin and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Steve conducts private in-home sessions, while he holds semi-private sessions at a local gym. His sessions utilize simple but effective tools and techniques, including kettlebells, rope training, body-weight training, TRX, sandbags, metabolic training, Pilates, medicine balls, dumbbells and Valslides. Steve’s programs stem from a strong educational foundation. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise and Health Science from the prestigious Alma College and held a position as a personal trainer at the Beverly Hills Club in Michigan for four years before starting his own business. Steve has a Personal Training certification — highly respected and available only to those who have achieved a bachelor’s degree — and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). This sport-focused certification provided Steve Alley the knowledge to design safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs while offering guidance on nutrition and injury prevention. To further expand his education, Steve achieved Certified Level 1 Peak Pilates, through which he learned how to cue people and better understand the human body. He also achieved a kettlebell certification, which taught him safety, technique, progression exercises and troubleshooting. In 2010, the Detroit Lions recognized Steve’s expertise and contracted him to develop the kettlebell portion of their conditioning program.
