A life-changing expert

Rated 10 out of 10

I sought Steve out after being ordered by my doctor to deal pro-actively with a serious health problem and Steve has literally changed my life. Until I met Steve I spent most of my adult life not exercising in any regular manner and through his careful and expert guidance, I have reversed my insulin levels and have never been in better shape. Weight loss was a wonderful benefit to accrue but the change in my overall strength and fitness level is what I am most happy about and what has been so profound a change. I was initially intimidated by Steve's background in muay thai and status as a champion fighter but his patient disposition and supportive teaching approach mitigated any fears and anxieties I had. I am delighted to be a part of his devoted clientele and know that he is simply the best.

Steve knows everything

Rated 10 out of 10

Steve is a trainer who will profoundly impact and change your life. Whether its muay thai, kettle bells, or overall fitness he is someone I trust, and recommend (if not push) to anyone who is looking to improve their health and dramatically transform their bodies. I started training with Steve as my interest in muay thai grew, and I immediately experienced his extensive knowledge of training, understanding of the human body, and unique approach to teaching. His love for teaching is always apparent, and his patient manor is encouraging. I now see that none of the workouts I've done in the past, will ever compare to the newly found training routine with Steve. He has helped me create a healthier lifestyle that will be lifelong. If you go to Steve with any kind of injury or pain he will recommend a natural approach to healing, or give you a few snaps and twists that often put you back in place. He's also a walking google if you want to know anything about everything. You will never see Steve tired, no matter how many people he has trained that day or how hard he has worked out himself- he will always give you a quality workout.

Kru Steve is a good teacher	Rated 10 out of 10
Kru Steve teaching in muay thai and kettlebells is very good. Learning muay thai from Kru Steve make me want to compete and learning kettlebells from him make me want to be an instructor. Bill Chiu - Brooklyn, NY USA

Steve is a fantastic teacher/trainer. He is demanding but subtle, he understands how to gradually "raise the bar". He is serious without judgment-his demands meet your desire to improve. His knowledge of technique and physiology is a match for anyone at any level. It has been a privilege to work with Steve Milles. Marc Meyer - New York City, N.Y.

Subtle but very Motivating

Rated 10 out of 10

I've had numerous coaches with instructional styles that are of military caliber or your prototypical loud and aggressive high school/collegiate varsity coaches, Steve Miles is not of that type, but he is an effective coach and instructor who goes beyond loud and bombastic.
But most important, even if your a beginner and have had no previous athlethic experience, Steve can bring the best out of you and with the addition of kettle bell training and Muay Thai, he delviers an enriching experience.

Shhhhh....you didn't hear it from me.

Rated 10 out of 10

Steve Milles was raised by kettle bells...... in Detroit.
Steve Milles is one of the most underrated welterweight champions in Muay Thai.
When I arrive at 5 Points at 7am, Steve has already been training for at least an hour by himself. That never fails to inspire me.
July 20, 1969 - NASA astronauts land on the moon, find 16kg kettle bell. Steve complains of sore arm.
Steve can't help being proud of you for training hard and doing your best because Steve can't help getting you to train hard and do your best. It's almost like you both don't have a choice.
I've never belonged to a gym longer, or attended more frequently, than I do at 5 Points Academy, and a lot of that has to do with Steve.
Once every year, it is rumored Steve meets with the most powerful people in the world in a luxury hotel in the Netherlands and trains them. Hopefully we never find out what for.
Steve never stops. His work ethic is infectious.
Steve has the candor and the knowledge to train any skill range from beginner to champion, so he does. He trains them all under the same happy roof of 5 Points.
September 19, 1976, Iranin AirForce pilots report electromagnetic interference and visual sightings of what appears to be an unidentified flying object in the shape of a 24kg kettle bell over the skies of Tehran. Steve complains of sore shoulder.
Steve has the best ringside manner in the business. He's calm, direct and always has a plan.
When I fight, I make sure I train with Steve first and that he's in my corner come the bell.
Steve has a way of making you forget about your fears, or if not forget, drop a 20kg kettle bell on them. They pretty much go away after that.
Steve will make you stronger, faster and more accurate with your technique. He will also make you understand why and how.
If this were a movie, Steve would live bearded in mystery on a clouded mountain top that you would have to spend perilous months traversing in order to prove you are worthy of being his student. This is better than a movie. Steve is clean shaven and you only have to go to Broadway and Canal and he'll be happy to train you.
If it weren't for Steve, I definitely would not be competing at the same level, or probably any level.
Fall, 1989, prelude to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, East German citizens are offered their first glimpse of the western world through massive 28kg sized hole near the Brandenburg Gate. Steve complains of sore wrist.
If you want to learn Muay Thai or Kettle Bells and you aren't training with Kru Steve, you may not be learning and you certainly could be learning more.

I love Steve.

Quality instructor and motivator

Rated 10 out of 10

I've been training with Steve Milles for about 15 years mostly in Muay Thai then recently, for the past several months, with kettlebells.

I started using kettlebells last year as part of crossfit training then transitioned completely to kettlebells with Steve. He has a vast knowledge of functional training using kettlebells and understands what it takes to keep people motivated. He possess the ability to explain and simplify complex movements in order to minimize the chance for injury and maximize the fitness potential of his clients. Steve is not only an outstanding instructor but he is always a student of physical fitness. He is never satisfied with the status quo and constantly seeks to improve himself and his clients. I am confident that anyone who trains will Steve will achieve their fitness goals using kettlebells.
