Steven Mack is the founder of Simple Solutions Fitness, a semi-private strength training studio in Columbia, Missouri, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy candidate at the University of Missouri (Class of 2027). He is the author of all training, nutrition, and recovery content on this site.
Steven graduated from Mizzou in 2014 with a B.S. in Health Sciences after walking on to the football team from 2010 to 2013. In 2015, he became Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified and founded Simple Solutions Fitness out of the back of his car, hauling weights to homes and offices for about a year before sharing a space with two physical therapists at Broadway Ergonomics.
In January 2017, Steven moved SSF to its current location, 3930 S Providence Rd Suite B, Columbia, Missouri 65203, near E Nifong Blvd & S Providence Rd. In 2018, he was invited to the Kansas City Fitness Summit to interview and co-author an article on business development with longtime Men's Health editor, Lou Schuler. Over seven years as the studio's sole employee, Steven grew SSF, hosted and spoke at numerous presentations, and built a 13-week internship through which he hired his first employee.
Today, Steven runs Simple Solutions Fitness while attending the University of Missouri Doctor of Physical Therapy program and writes all the content on the site.
