STEPS is Nashville, TN's first personal fitness training center, founded in 1989. It is a non-membership, appointment-only studio for personal trainers to train their clients. A full service facility, its 8000 s.f. has all the regular cardiovascular and resistance training equipment along with some novel ones: Stairmaster and Nautilus variable stride-length ellipticals, an adjustable step-height stair climber, and an upper body ergometer. Additionally, STEPS was the first facility in middle TN to bring whole body vibration (WBV) to the public. Proven useful for building strength and bone mass, WBV is a big draw for women fighting off osteopenia and/or osteoporosis. STEPS trainers use a full spectrum of non-traditional equipment, from tubing, med balls, and kettlebells, to all kinds of balance devices. Always cutting edge, the 30+ trainers at STEPS work with each other to stay on the creative and safe side of fitness programming for clients of all ages, issues, and conditions.
