Today we’d like to introduce you to DeAndre Steward.
DeAndre, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I have been in the fitness industry since the day I first put on a T-Ball helmet. Like most people who are into exercising now, I was introduced to it through sports and recreational activities. It wasn’t until my first place AAU Powerlifting Competition at the age of 16 in 2015 when I realized I only enjoyed the sports that I played because of the mental stress relief, the feeling of pushing my body to its limits, and overall health. After my separation from the U.S Army in 2020, I started my own fitness company, Stew’s Performance. Stew’s Performance is a fitness family where people of the San Diego community can laugh, sweat, reach their fitness goals, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle with like-minded people.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Since I started my business in a park and during the pandemic, business was very slow and a struggle. Not only that but I’m only 22 years old with knowledge but very little resources. Since my social media presence wasn’t that big, a lot of the time I drove all around San Diego passing out my business cards and offering free trial services to gain some clientele.
