DESCRIPTION

Fitness Edge is a Strength Training Facility owned and operated by two Legendary Strength Coaches & Personal Trainers.

 Steve Wagener has spent 33 years as a Strength Coach and Personal  Trainer. Starting as a 23 year old in 1980 at Lehman Courts Gym in  Chicago he quickly rose through the ranks to become Assistant Manager,  and then Manager of the Strength Training end of the gym. In 1981 Steve  became the Assistant Manager of the Fitness Floor of The Multiplex in  Deerfield, Illinois, and by 1986 he was the Head Manager of the Fitness  Floor of the facility. Moving on in 1987 Steve became the Assistant  Manager of the Fitness Room on the 7th floor of The World Renowned  Palmer House Hotel located in downtown Chicago, Illinois. That same year  Steve was hired by Highland Park High School to become the Head  Strength Coach of the school. While working at both jobs Steve also  opened his Personal Training business inside The 41 Sports Club under  the name "Killer Bodies". By 1989 Steve left The 41 Sports Club, and The  Palmer House. Continuing to coach at Highland Park High School Steve  opened "The Fitness Edge" inside the Hammer Strength Showroom, also in  Highland Park, Il. In 1992 Steve formed a partnership with his present  day partner Tom Toth. In 1994 Steve left Highland Park High to put forth all his time and energy into the newly formed Fitness Edge. Steve  continues to instruct, coach, and supervise at The Fitness edge, now in  Highwood, Illinois with his friend and partner Tom Toth.

Tom Toth  played college football for Western Michigan University, and was  drafted by The New England Patriots in 1985. As a member of the AFC  Championship team (though on IR), Tom also is a team member of the 1985  New England Patriots Super Bowl team that played, but lost to The '85-'86  Chicago Bears. Tom also went on to play for The San Diego Chargers and  finished his career with The Miami Dolphins coached by Don Shula. Tom's  Pro career lasted from 1985 to 1991, at which point he retired and  became a Strength Coach at The Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.  This irony led to a meeting between his future partner-to-be Steve  Wagener. In 1992 Tom joined forces with Steve, which created The New  Fitness Edge. Since 1992 Tom has been a leader in the field of Strength  Training, and Personal Training. Both of these fine coaches look forward  to a continued interest in owning, and operating the now Legendary  Fitness Edge.
