FITLETE Radio: Coach’s Spotlight: Let’s Meet Steve Lutz

In this Trainer Spotlight Q&A, fitness coach Steve Lutz joins host George Pagan III to share his remarkable story of transformation, from a low point living in South Korea to becoming a grounded, purpose-driven coach helping others overcome mental and physical barriers.

He breaks down the psychology behind sustainable change, the importance of meeting clients where they are, and how technology and self-awareness shape modern coaching.

Lutz speaks with authenticity and depth, showing not just the science behind change, but the humanity behind coaching.

Key Takeaways

* True transformation is as much mental as it is physical—Steve’s journey taught him that “the real transformation wasn’t just physical; it was mental.”

* Sustainable coaching means meeting clients where they are and adjusting based on their life, limitations, and mindset.

* Technology—from Trainerize and Loom to ChatGPT—plays a huge role in connection, accountability, and efficiency in his coaching.

* Progress isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about mastering what’s in front of you and building belief from there.

Guest Quotes

“When I moved home from Korea, I lost the weight, got a handle on my drinking, and realized that the real transformation wasn’t just physical—it was mental.”

“Showing up doesn’t always mean pushing hard. Sometimes it means slowing down and rebuilding in a way that actually lasts.”

“The best coaches have either been through it or truly know how to connect with someone who has. Coaching is 90% communication.”
