Great facilities, equipment and motivational vibe! Steves training is personalized to push you to be a better version of yourself if you put in the work. Steve will keep you accountable and motivated to keep leveling up!
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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.

Changing body composition takes time and patience, and without Steve’s coaching- physical, nutritional, and at times mental, …
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 …
The Strength Spot is outstanding! I have been training with Stephen, the owner, for a year. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and motivating trainer who truly cares about his clients. Workouts are personalized, effective, and always focused on proper form and real results. The gym has a welcoming, no-ego atmosphere that makes training enjoyable. Highly recommend Stephen and The Strength …
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 …
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 …
