Stephen founded One Sound Body in 2017 in order to address the disconnect between the fitness and nutrition industries. They need to coexist but yet very rarely do you see them working together. Personal trainers aren’t equipped to fully solve your nutrition issues. Dietitians and nutritionists aren’t fully equipped to solve your fitness problems. Until now…
Stephen has dedicated his professional career to coaching and mentoring clients, fitness professionals, and gym owners. He started in corporate fitness in 2005 working for the Personal Training Institute in Port Washington, NY, and Dolphin Fitness in Flushing, NY. He was part of the opening team at Equinox Luxury Fitness Clubs in Great Neck, NY, and soon after led their personal training department. He then went on to lead Equinox’s 85th Street Manhattan club to $2M in training revenue with a team of 50+ coaches.
In 2013 Stephen left corporate fitness to pursue entrepreneurship and over the next ten years opened four boutique training studios in Long Island, NY. He set his focus on being a leader in his community. In 2015 he was named Business Person of the Year by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce based on his community contributions and was the President of the Floral Park Chamber of Commerce 2020-2018.
In 2020 Stephen set out on another mission to better help the people who weren’t getting the nutrition support they needed in fitness facilities. He went back to school to get his Master’s degree and become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
Currently, Stephen leads private and group sessions for clients and has joined Active Life Professional as a business mentor consulting with gym owners across the U.S. In 2023 he helped lead Gold’s Gym Newburgh to BEST Personal Training Club in the country.
