Step Above Training — Local services in Milwaukee

I’ve had Dave Myers as a trainer for years including before and after open heart surgery. Dave had been a thoughtful and careful planner in that recovery to meet my goals for gradual progress back to an active and fit lifestyle. Sessions are never the same and always adjusted for our longer term goal and any surprise condition I have that day.
