About Steve

Hello fellow fitness and/or baseball enthusiasts,

Steve, Lep, or Coach here.

Thanks for stopping by.

I specialize in Senior Fitness Training, & Baseball Instruction, as a former 1980 College All-American Baseball Player @ Jacksonville State University, a 2nd generation professional baseball player, & an I.S.S.A. C.F.T. since 2001. My pop Don (passed 4/13/23) was a MLB 1963 American League All-Star Catcher (Washington Senators) & hit a HR in his first MLB at bat with The Pgh. Pirates in 1961. He was a longtime MLB Coach for The Pirates, Blue Jays, Houston Astros & then The Minor League Farm Director for The Minnesota Twins, and he has 3 World Series rings from The Pittsburgh Pirates in '71 & Minnesota Twins in '87 & '91.

In H.S., I eventually started at SS & hit 3rd as a freshman with 8 Seniors, & then I was drafted in 1977 in the 16th round as a C (Boston Celtic hoopster, now Executive Danny Ainge was the 15th pick) by The Toronto Blue Jays. I elected to accept a scholarship from Jax State University. After starting for 3 years, I was drafted again in the 5th round by The Cincinnati Reds as a 2b in 1980, after my All-Conference & All-American Junior year.

I hit .423 and was 23/24 in SB, with no errors in CF. I signed with The Reds and was with them for 3 years, & the Pirates briefly, before getting into the fitness industry.

I look forward to hearing from you. No question is off the wall and PLEASE do not shop rates. I get results, & have a myriad of 5 Star reviews and I'm still in contact with clients going back 15+ years.

Currently, I keep just a few select clients, & have 2 am openings available.

Baseball rates come in prepaid packages of 5 or 10 packs. 1 is

$75 , 5 is $350 or 10 is ON SALE for just $599. I also attend a game/practice on my dime/time on 10 packs.

You can try one session, & if you continue, the $75 goes towards a package rate.

I look forward to hearing from you. Play ball!

Stay fit-

'Lep'

My father was a Major League Player/Coach, and after my professional baseball career I entered the fitness industry, encompassing high end exercise equipment sales, facility planning & design, Health Club Management, Personal Training Instruction and Sales.  I enjoy instructing and coaching.



Drafted twice, once out of H.S. 1977 (16th round) Toronto Blue Jays and College 1980 Cincinnati Reds (5th round).

1980 All Conference - Gulf South

1980 College Baseball All-American

I.S.S.A. Certified Fitness Trainer from 2001.

I.I.S.A. Certified In-Line Skate Instructor by Rollerblade from 1993

Winner of First Place in 2001 Body for Life Masters (over 40) Transformation Challenge & $5,000.

I lost 35 pounds of bodyfat & gained 5 lbs of muscle in 90 days for a total loss of 30lbs from 200 to 170. 

*NOTE FROM MY COLLEGE BASEBALL COACH, Alabama Hall of Famer Rudy Abbott.

Rudy Abbott, is in The Alabama Hall of Fame, as a Baseball Coach with the JSU Gamecocks and winner of over 1000 games in his illustrious coaching career.

'Steve 'Lep' Leppert was drafted by the Blue Jays out of high school, but elected to go to college and was one of the greatest catchers to ever play for The Jacksonville State Gamecocks & was also an excellent infielder & switch hitter. He hit .423 his Junior year and was 23 of 24 in stolen bases and was named as an All-American. If I had a son wanting to get a head start on baseball I would want my son to work with Steve. Not only does he have the College World Series experience, his dad Don coached and played in the Majors for the Pirates and Senators, and he also coached for The Blue Jays, Astros and Twins.  Steve followed in his footsteps & played pro ball for the Reds/Pirates. Steve brings a level of energy and experience to the job as a baseball instructor. He gives his players insight others can hope to learn someday. I strongly recommend Steve's instruction if you want to be an outstanding baseball player'.

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

First, we simply play catch w no gloves & tennis balls. Secondly, I see how they throw and receive the ball. Third, I ask them to show me how they hold the ball throwing, & the bat hitting. Then, depending on their position, we work on those basic fundamentals, strengths, possible weaknesses and how to improve them.

I have played C, SS, 3b, 2b & CF at some level, and have a firm grasp on them. As far as pitcher's, once they turn 13-14 I turn them over to a qualified pitching coach. Growing up as the son of a Major Leaguer I saw many of the greats play, and was a sponge as a toddler until age 18 going to multiple spring trainings in FL, winter ball in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela and going to Forbes Field, then Three Rivers Stadium in Pgh with pop.

Fitness is obviously unique...it's a very personal choice, so I like to sit down, or talk, not text & assess your interest level, why now, & what will make this time different?

First & FOREMOST, my sessions are FUN. You will look forward to it, as you'll feel better. We'll DEF get in all your work, that's promised, however other than most trainers, I KNOW that people like to PLAY, & HAVE FUN!  Age unnecessary. Fitness level unnecessary. I do everything I can think of to alleviate boredom and mindless repetitions.

I've worked from ages 4-85, special needs students, disabled children and adults, a paraplegic, Mrs. Indiana, amatuer/professional athletes, and I specialize in 'seasoned citizens' in regards to Personal Training BECAUSE I AM ONE. ;)



Don't just shop rates, talk before and try one lesson before committing to more.  Less isn't always more, and make sure they at least played and started in college, if not further professionally...



I helped Becki F lose 30 lbs in 90 days, and she was literally crying & elated. I helped a shy, introverted teen in making his Jr. High baseball team...in which he was ecstatic & improved his entire confidence.  His mom thanked me profusley.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your goal(s) and expectations, and be thorough in communicating that.  Also, in this day and age, you're welcome to film the session(s), or parts dependent upon your phone etc.
