GateWay HS Baseball Coach
“Steve did an incredible job working with our athletes. He mapped out a sport-specific plan to build explosiveness and athleticism for our guys, and totally got them to buy in while also educating them on the details that go into becoming more agile and athletic. Athletic growth was measurable over the course of the program and players grew together as a team. We will be working with Coach Marrero again in the future!.”

“Steve at MPT is the best in the business!
He presented to over 50 campers at my basketball camp and will be returning this year, too.
His attention to detail, energy, passion and knowledge are evident from the jump!.”

Jaime Steward (Former Pro Baseball Player & D1 Coach) for Son Josh
“Steve does a great job designing a sport(s) specific plan for his athletes. He communicates clearly what the objective is for each exercise and how it will translate to their given sport(s). His workouts are fast paced and productive. For a young athlete, Steve gives them a very clear look into what to expect as they continue their playing careers into high school and college. For a motivated young player with goals to be a major college and professional player, this is what it looks like. As a former professional player and Division 1 coach, Steve’s workouts are exactly what you see at the highest levels. My son is a bigger, stronger, faster, more informed and disciplined athlete because of his work with Steve.”

for Daughter Leila
“I have known Steve as a personal trainer for many years and immediately thought of him when finding a strength and performance coach for my daughter, Leila. It has only been a few months, but the growth in her physical strength, speed and overall confidence as a midfielder on the soccer field were immediately noticeable, mostly because of Steve’s dedication to my daughter’s athletic potential and goals of playing at the collegiate level. Steve is so knowledgeable and, even when Leila was sidelined with a hip flexor injury, he patiently worked with Leila and the sports medicine physician to get her back to 100%. I cannot say enough about Steve but he is simply the best.
FERNANDO Martinez (Boxer)
“I have had the pleasure of working with Coach Marrero as my strengthening coach, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding professional who truly cares about his clients progress and well-being.
I was impressed by Coach Marrero knowledge, expertise, and dedication to his craft. He took the time to understand my fitness goals and current fitness level, and then designed a customized training program that was tailored to my specific needs and abilities.
What I appreciate most about coach marrero is his attention to detail and commitment to helping me achieve my goals in a safe and effective manner. He is always looking for ways to improve my form and technique.
Overall, I would highly recommend coach Marrero to anyone who is serious about improving their fitness and achieving their goals. His expertise, dedication, and passion for fitness are truly inspiring, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him.

for Son Carter
“I can’t say enough about Steve and Marrero Performance Training. I did not know what to expect as I and my ten-year-old son were new to performance training, especially for kids. Steve is fantastic and genuine, as you can see he cares. Steve not only connected with the kids, but kept them engaged, and encouraged positivity the entire time. He made sure to bring the kids along and not overload the workouts early. Once they got comfortable and knew they could do the exercises, Steve gradually increased the tempo, duration, and strength. My son loved going to the workouts, not only because of the positive results but because of the relationship Steve built with him. He pushed the kids in a way that not many trainers understand when dealing with kids. Lastly, the results were amazing. I could the strength, flexibility, and confidence in my son. It was a great experience and we will be back!”

for Son Jack
“We came to Steve at Marrero Performance Training in hopes to get our 11 year old athlete more athletic, quicker, stronger and faster. The results in 3 short months are incredible. He runs differently and much more powerful. Through many drills, Steve was able to get him much more athletic, versatile, stronger, and agile. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Steve is excellent with kids. He has a way of teaching and connecting with them to where they don’t want to let him down because he’s such a great guy. Jack was excited to go to every session with Steve, never one time did he complain about working too hard. Steve found a way to push him and show him that he could fight through the temporary discomfort doing drills like wall sits. He showed him the psychological side of pushing yourself and how to train to get better. The results we’ve seen both physically and mentally are amazing. Steve is the best! Give him a call, you won’t be disappointed.”

for son Mitch
“I worked with Steve and Marrero Performance Training to help my 9 year old son his strength, speed, and confidence. Steve’s planning attention to detail, and engagement with my 9 year old was fantastic. We quickly saw an increase in explosiveness, stamina, and overall movement and balance. I would work with Steve again and would recommend him without hesitation.”

“My 10 year old son has been training with Steve Marrero for almost a year. He plays baseball and basketball. He has gotten noticeably stronger and faster. Steve is really good for those looking for their kids to get ahead of the pack in terms of youth sports.”
Chris Mellio
for son TJ
“Steve trained my son and provided the perfect foundation, knowledge and engagement for a young man. His professionalism and approach to training is like no other.”
“I’ve been training with Steve for just over 4 months. I stopped working out for almost 4 years, and decided I needed to hire a professional trainer, and start getting back into a workout regimen. I first met Steve years ago when he worked at Lifetime Fitness. He has helped me get refocused, stay consistent, and be accountable for doing my workouts outside of our one on one training. My strength and most of all my mobility has greatly improved, and continues to get better each week. So, I would highly recommend Steve to people young and old, I am 52; if you’re considering changing or beginning new workout program.”
