Welcome to Fit4LifeNW!
Hi there! My name is Steve Spuck and I am the owner of Fit4LifeNW and your coach.
PERSONAL FITNESS EXPERIENCE
My father was a judo sensei and I grew up at his dojo with my family doing martial arts. This set the stage for fitness throughout my life.
I got into weightlifting in high school and running in college. Later, triathlons became my passion and I have done many of them - culminating in completing Ironman Wisconsin in 2013.
My goal is to pull all this knowledge together to help others meet their fitness goals - which is why I completed my personal training credentials and started Fit4LifeNW.
BACKGROUND IN NUTRITION
I come from a long line of great cooks. My mom is an incredible example of that and still makes the most amazing meals at 93 years old! She instilled in me a passion for cooking.
With my certification in nutrition, and a complete understanding of your goals, we can set up the right program for you. That being said - I have never liked the word "diet". I've tried many - none of which proved to be a sustainable way to eat (or survive). My focus is to use my experience and education to balance great flavors with fresh ingredients and smart nutrition.
COACHING
I am a positive force of unending energy who builds a lighthearted environment, soliciting honest conversations and a goal of constantly making forward progress.
My professional life has given me vast experience in project planing. I love goals - building them, developing strategies to achieve them, adjusting work when needed to course correct. I have a love for diving deep into topics of interest - a life of reading, testing, and then adjusting gives me a special library of experience that I can now share with my clients.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
I am lucky to have a great family who also embraces a life of fitness and nutrition. I continue to learn from and share so many great experiences with my wife Cheryl, and my children, Ryan and Julia.
