DEAN STEED
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER + NUTRITION COACH
About My Training
I’m Dean, a certified personal trainer with over 5 years of experience in boxing instruction and strength training. My goal is to help queer and trans people feel strong, confident, and powerful in their bodies through safe, affirming coaching. As a Black trans man, I know how important it is to find a trainer you can trust, and that’s why I’ve created a welcoming space for clients to achieve their fitness goals, whether through boxing, strength training, or a combination of both.
I offer three specialized programs tailored to different fitness goals:
Boxing for Cardio, Weight Loss, and Functional Strength – Perfect for clients looking to burn fat, improve endurance, and learn real boxing skills. Whether you’re training for self-defense, competition, or personal growth, I’ll teach you how to throw punches, develop footwork, and improve overall fitness in every session.
Strength and Muscle Building Program – This program is ideal for those wanting to build muscle and increase strength. Using traditional weightlifting techniques, I’ll guide you through key lifts like bench press, squats, rows, and deadlifts, helping you build a strong, muscular physique.
Hybrid Program – Combining boxing and strength training, this program offers the best of both worlds. It’s designed for clients who want to improve cardio endurance and build muscle at the same time, giving you a balanced, full-body workout.
My Experience
I’ve trained with professional, belt-winning fighters in the NFC, and my experience spans everything from sparring with professional MMA fighters to teaching boxing as a form of self-defense and emotional regulation. My background in strength training includes working with clients to build muscle mass, improve functional strength, and boost overall fitness. I’ve helped clients of all backgrounds, including those with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and injuries.
As a personal trainer, I emphasize body-positive, gender-affirming coaching, providing a safe and inclusive space for queer and trans clients. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or are ready to take your training to the next level, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s work together to help you achieve your goals and feel strong in your body!
Fit Gang Reviews
“The workouts are monstrous but what I appreciate most about Dean is his ability to adjust the workout to the individual. Dean is able to surmise you abilities and push you just beyond the comfort zone. Safety gains over strain pained gains all day. Would definitely continue to recommend to anyone of all ages and backgrounds! Professionalism and Swag all rolled in one!”
“Working with Dean has been great! They are super body positive and supportive! As someone who is disabled, I also felt like I could show up as myself.”
“I absolutely love Dean! First, you know that what he is teaching is also what he practices. Second, he takes time to show you exactly what and how to execute the workouts while also listening to any and all concerns. Third and lastly, he makes you feel as though you are the strongest person in the gym with positive reinforcements and encouragement!”
“Very positive attitude and good energy! Also very knowledgeable and flexible.”
“Being trans and having dysphoria has left me in a painfully complicated relationship with my body. You have helped facilitate a sort of homecoming for me. Coming back to my body. Living here, fully. For that friend, I’m forever grateful. And I feel STRONG AF!”
