Vince Dela Cruz

I started with Steven back in February 2021 and was one of his first clients. Being with him for a little over 2 years, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have any other coach. Having him in my corner has been the best decision I’ve ever made in my powerlifting career. His knowledge for the sport is unmatched, he cares deeply about the development of his athletes, and his charismatic and kind nature leaves a lasting impression on everyone he comes across. Having this breadth of knowledge at such a young age gives me confidence that with time, his positive impact will be felt by many in the community.

In terms of my individual performance, I was a beginner when we started working together. I lacked knowledge of proper technique, load management, and proper recovery methods. I was a ~370 DOTS lifter at first, and made adequate progress being under no coach. With his guidance, I was able to start pushing into the mid-400 DOTS, becoming one of the strongest 90kg juniors in Virginia in a little over 2 years. I have no doubt that I can progress further and reach a higher level within the sport by working with Steven, and you can too! If I can do it, anyone can do it.
