Steve Terry

A strength and conditioning coach with deep curiosity about fascia, somatics, and regeneration, Steve created The Body Lever—a self-myofascial tool that helps realign fibers, activate the parasympathetic system, and restore fluid movement. His work bridges science and sensation, inviting athletes to train smarter, not harder. It’s a conversation about the evolution of fitness, recovery, and how we reconnect to the body as an intelligent system—not a machine to be conquered, but a rhythm to be tuned.

Steve Terry is a wizard.

As the creator of the Body Lever he is obsessed with how real mobility is trained and maintained safely. Steve is a strength and conditioning coach with a deep curiosity about fascia, recovery, and regeneration. His work, and obsessions, bridge science and sensation, helping athletes retrain movement patterns through awareness, primal tools, and connective tissue intelligence. One of my favorite moments in the conversation was when we started talking about the future of gyms. Both of us are seeing the same shift happening: athletes learning new patterns through outdoor, ancient movements. He predicts training environments becoming more exploratory, and far more intelligent. We talk about injury as a teacher, the overlooked role of flexibility, lag force in movement, breath as a tool for pain management, and why recovery might be the most important training skill of all. If you’re curious about where fitness is heading, this conversation will expand your thinking.

We discussed:

- Recovery Through Sensation & Morphology - Injury as a Catalyst for Growth - Breath & Pain: Reclaiming the Nervous System - Active Recovery & Athletic Longevity - Rethinking Flexibility & Movement Patterns - Lag Force: A New Approach to Strength - Fitness, Survival & Returning to Nature - The Future of Fitness: Community, Play & Connection For those who prefer a visual experience, the conversation is available on YouTube. As always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I sincerely hope you enjoyed our talk. Be mighty!

I spend a lot of time with my nose in books. But my favorite place to be is outside: tending to my bees, planting native trees, worm farming, experimenting with electroculture, saving dragonflies, composting, dancing, playing, being.

I sincerely hope your list is at least as long as mine.
