Hi, I’m Steve S. Pickering, founder of Skinny Jane and Lean 180.
I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people—both women and men—transform their health, strength, and confidence. As an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, NASM-CPT, and ACE Weight Loss Specialist, I’ve worked closely with clients to develop effective fitness strategies, simple eating plans, and top-quality supplements designed to deliver real, lasting results.
My fitness journey began while I was in college, working as a personal trainer at an athletic club. After earning my Business Administration degree from the University of Southern Indiana, I launched my own personal training business and quickly developed a passion for helping women improve their health and confidence. After working in Memphis, TN, and Kansas City, KS, alongside some of the best trainers in the country, I knew it was time to take my next step.
In 2003, I opened Body Makeover, a fitness facility focused on helping women lose weight, get stronger, and live healthier lives. That experience laid the groundwork for the creation of Skinny Jane—a nutrition and health brand dedicated to helping women achieve lasting results through proven, easy-to-follow plans and high-quality supplements.
Recognizing that men needed a similar, effective solution, I created Lean 180, a brand designed specifically for men who want to build strength, lose fat, and live healthier lives. Whether you’re a man or a woman, Skinny Jane and Lean 180 offer personalized plans and products to support your journey every step of the way.
The Skinny Jane and Lean 180 Plans are built on me and my team's years of experience helping people achieve real, lasting results. Each plan teaches you what foods to eat, when to eat them, and how to stay motivated, so you can achieve your goals—whether that’s losing weight, building muscle, or simply feeling your best.
My mission is simple: To help you look and feel your best.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and the brands I’m proud to lead. If you have any questions or need support, I’m always here to help.
