ABOUT ME

My name is Steven Cuthbert, Personal Trainer and Head Coach at Primal Gym, Leeds. If you are interested in strength training, increasing your muscle mass, losing fat or generally just being a bad-ass, then you’re in the right place. 

I believe strength training should be inclusive for everyone, not just big lifters, and can lead to positive impacts on peoples lives outside of the gym. Watching clients start out thinking they can’t, and seeing their reaction when they do, is awesome. Everyone has their own starting point and I love to help people progress in strength, and confidence. Making ordinary people do the extraordinary is why I do what I do.

I’ve gained great knowledge and experience throughout my education and career, having had the opportunity to work closely with industry professionals from various areas of sports and fitness. Whether you are have been training for years, or a complete beginner, my aim is to share this knowledge and experience with you wherever you are, and help you achieve your goals.

TESTIMONIALS

Steve is one of the best Coaches I've ever worked with. Not only does he go above and beyond for his clients but behind the scenes he behaves like a true gentleman. He cares about his clients and gets things done. He's the kind of guy who will lose sleep when a client is struggling until he finds the solution. All in all I'm proud to associate with this man. The fitness industry is bettered by his presence!
Chris
I'm finishing up my second month of programming with Steve. So far the results have massively exceeded my expectations. From previous training with Steve he understood my strengths, weaknesses, and what works best for me to come up with tailor made programs to help me achieve my goals. I recommend Steve to anyone who wants to shed the fat, and get stronger!
Mark
I’ve been training with Steve for about 4 months including general strength/powerlifting training and for a beginners strong woman competition. Through his programmes I have had real improvement in my squat and deadlift form which will help massively with powerlifting training and hopefully avoiding back injury! I would definitely recommend Steve for anyone looking for general training, strength training or training for a specific event like powerlifting or strongwoman, his programmes are great and he is really supportive!
Maxine
Steve coached me through my first regional powerlifting competition to hit new personal bests on all three main lifts in powerlifting. Showing unrelenting support throughout training when i showed hesitation to compete and even making the 250 mile round trip to support and guide me through my competition, his coaching was brilliant and the PBs i hit are a credit to him and his methods. I look forward to working with him for a long time!
Jack
Steven has been helping me to improve my strength and overall fitness for the last 4 months. I am able now to work out with heavier weights and have improved my technique avoiding injuries over all this time. Thanks to Steven, I understand the importance of eating healthy and resting when it comes to maximize my training performance. His guidance has made me change old bad habits to start a new lifestyle. Thanks for all your help and support. - Luis

Steve is a great coach and produces top quality programmes that get results. There's always a good variety of exercises so it doesn't gets boring and Steve is always pushing you to do better, he's recently helped me reach my 200kg deadlift and pushing for 100kg on the bench. I would recommend Steve for anyone that wants to get stronger and cut fat while having fun in the gym!
Wes
Super Steve!! After training with Steve for six months I have my confidence back using heavy weights, can do 20kg weighted press-ups and I’m finally doing pull ups!!! He’s got me strong, confident and loving the gym again (love the SGPT sessions). So thanks Steve, for helping me with my fitness journey
Asha
Steve is exactly the coach you need. I've been powerlifting with him for about a year now; he uses his knowledge of me, and how I like to train, to give advice that will fit me personally. He is great at explaining the why as well as the what, and he is very easy to talk to or ask for help or guidance. He is supportive, wise and motivating, and has coached me into achieving things I didn't even know were possible - and he's made the journey fun! I'm looking forward to finding out what else I can achieve with his expert guidance in future
Lucy
I’ve been working with Steve as part of my small group PT at Primal. I try to be consistent with when I train and as a result I end up in a lot of Steve’s groups. However, I’m not complaining; I really like his coaching style. He is supportive and takes the time to go through exercises. He has an absolute knack of spotting incorrect movement across and gym and making sure it is corrected! He also knows when to challenge; for me this has been brilliant. In the first couple of months I’ve made really good progress and I don’t think I would have been able to without Steve’s excellent guidance!
Jon
I have been working to Steve's SGPT programmes for the past 18 months and have really benefitted from Steve's knowledge and experience. Steve has written some great programmes and employs a holistic approach to help me achieve my goals. Steve is always helpful and informative, giving advise on technique and diet to ensure I get the most from the sessions. I've dropped a waist size in trousers and reached a level of fitness in 18 months comparable to 10 years ago when I last attended a gym regularly.
Paul
I’ve trained with Steve over the last 3 months at least twice per week at Primal. He’s taken the time to get to know me and understand my goals so that every time I walk through the door he tailors how hard he pushes me based on how my day or week has been. His personal approach has really helped me not only in the gym but in the other really important aspects of stress management, sleeping well and good nutrition. He’s also a super nice guy with rubbish jokes which helps!!! Would definitely recommend training with Steve!
Nichole
I’ve been training at primal and with Steve for the past year and loved every minuite. His expertise on training and nutrition is amazing and everything he has suggested to me has changed my body in the way that I wanted. I have trained for years but never felt as comfortable in my own skin as I have now - it really has changed so many things in my life that I used to hate about myself.I have noticed a massive difference in not only my physical appearance but my overall fitness level I feel fitter than I ever have done. He has listened to all my previous problems and we have worked on these giving me the outcome that I wanted. Now for the next challenge 😀👍🏻
Lindsay
I had always been hesitant to the idea of Powerlifting - from muscular pain to injuries, however coming across Steve at Primal - he has been able to entirely change this view for me. His approach to explaining the theory, demonstrating it himself and providing continuous feedback is first class. I have now got the confidence of incorporating such exercises to my workouts, safely. Steve also has a lot of passion for what he does and how to do it better. He reaches out and engages with other Sport coaches, influencers and athletes (check out his podcasts!!) which only means one thing - his expertise is richer and more valuable day after day. To top it all of, his contagious "Joie de Vivre" means he always uplifts everyone around him and makes you want to do that extra effort during a workout. 😎💪
Tom
I have been following Steve Powerlifting program for the last year, all I can say is that it is worth it. I just increased my squat, bench and deadlift PBs by 10 kg each in only 12 weeks. Steve is always super motivating and he will make sure you get stronger and use the perfect technique. Thanks to him I now have some new targets when I go to the gym. #Powerlifting #StongerEveryWeek #SuperCoach 💪🏋️‍♂️👊
Nicolas
I have trained with Ste on a number of different occasions and each time the programme has been varied and interesting and most importantly has resulted in good progress in regards to strength. I’m currently training with Ste following knee surgery last year and it had seen me progress back to pre-surgery strength in a number of key lifts including deadlift and front squat. Really enjoying training again
Charlotte
Steve has been looking after my programming in the Primal SGPT groups for about 9 months now. can’t recommend Steve highly enough I’ve gone from never lifting a single weight in my life to consistently weight training 3 times a week. Steve’s helped to build my confidence in lifting heavier weights and adapted my programming when I needed it. I started with the vague goal of being in shape for when I go travelling for 2 months. By the time I go away at the end of September I’ll be around 10kg down and comfortably in the best shape of my life - cheers Steve!
Tim
I've been training now at Primal for 8 months and go to at least one or two of Steve's classes a week. What he does really well is read people and knows when to challenge me to go harder/increase the weight and when to leave me alone to crack on. Steve has eyes in the back of his head and always manages to correct a technique or give builds, even if he's halfway across the gym. He gets a genuine kick out of seeing his clients do well and always knows where you're at with your progress. His objective approach really works for me - he tells me when I'm being too hard on myself but tells me when to move it up a gear too. I trust him to tell me the truth! He brings the energy and makes sessions fun, especially at the 6.15am classes...bear with the jokes...you'll learn to love them 😂 🙌
Esther
I really enjoy training sessions with Steve. Each session is varied and challenging enough to take me out of my comfort zone, while still being enjoyable. He’s always a great source of wisdom when it comes to diet and goal setting and he always has an eye out for any bad technique habits that I might be developing. The only problem is that it sometimes feels so much like I’m in a Rocky montage that I struggle to snap out of it! Adrian!!!
Matthew
Coach Steve has been writing my training programmes for almost a year now and I can that they definitely work. I’ve seen better progress with Steve than any other programme I’ve tried. You get diet, lifestyle and training advice all together. Steve has even gone out of his way to help me through injuries and even researched how to get me training through Ramadan!!! But the best thing about Steve is even if you don’t think you can do something Steve will push you because he knows what you’re capable of even if you don’t. All this and the guy still keeps every session fun and always has a laugh. Cheers Steve!!
Hammad
"Lets Work!" Steve's favourite saying when he's making sure you are working to the best of your ability. Either that of "you should have dab on" in the warm up! In all seriousness, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve, or Coach Cuthbert as he will now be forever be known. He brings variety to each training session, is approachable and knowledgeable and most of all makes each session fun. He's happy to talk about personal goals. For someone who hadn't lifted many weights, Steve's technical assistance to make sure my form is always correct is invaluable. Steve is clearly dedicated and has some great ideas. I’m amazed he knows everyone by name. It's a small touch that makes a big difference. Thanks Coach Cuthbert!
James
Steve, Steve he’s your man! From motivational daily updates, healthy cake deliveries and pushing cars. There’s nothing he can’t do! I have been enjoying his classes for nearly a year now and they are still as challenging both mentally and physically as they were the day I started. Thoroughly enjoy and a great place to workout. I would recommend to anyone looking at achieving their goals! Thanks Steve
