Started going to this gym about 6 months ago and only have good things to say about it! My trainer, Kris, been extremely great with helping me shift my mindset about my health and has helped me in creating healthy habits. The gym is super well-managed and clean, and all of the trainers are very kind/friendly. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

When I moved to St. Pete, I was looking for a new trainer. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the best trainers worldwide the last 20 years so my expectations were high. Aaron not only met my expectations but exceeded them. The approach will get you results in a safe effective way. I highly recommend this gym and in particular, Aaron. World class. You won’t be disappointed.

I can't recommend this place enough for anyone who is new to fitness and looking to make a sustainable lifestyle change. As someone who hasn't been physically active most of my life, I had a lot of anxiety and apprehension about attempting to start strength training as a woman who recently turned 40. Every experience I've had with the staff at Seriously Strong has been seriously positive and encouraging. My trainer, Aaron, is the absolute best!! He is super knowledgeable, patient, and has made working out (gasp) fun. Lol! He does a great job explaining the muscles every exercise is intended to target and how to do it properly so I don't hurt myself. He is encouraging in way that's not pushy or over the top and makes me want to push myself more than I've ever done in the past. I even voluntarily went to an 8am workout session, on Christmas Eve, and a Saturday when it was freezing outside. If that's not an indication of the magic he's working, I don't know what is 😂 I had a mysterious pain in my leg when I started working with him and after 3 months I almost didn't notice that it was completely gone! I've also experienced a significant decrease in normal 40-something body aches and pains, and the software they use to track progress shows concrete results of how much stronger I'm getting 💪🏾. The gym environment is also very welcoming and inclusive, which is important to me as a black woman. Even though there aren't many other folks who look like me in the gym, I feel completely comfortable and supported by everyone. I have no regrets about the investment I'm making in my health and wellness, and hope others who are in similar situations consider reaching out to this awesome team!!

I highly recommend this type of training environment if you can afford it. The 1-to-1 attention in an exclusive, dedicated gym space takes a lot off your mind as you no longer have to deal with sharing equipment with 100 others in a conventional gym. Tailor-made trainer sessions dovetailed with the technology they use made for a nearly blissful journey to weight-loss/muscle creation. They still make you sweat though. And you still cry out the same as you would in a normal gym, but it just feels better here.

This place is by far the best gym and group of people I’ve ever worked out with. Training with Avery has been amazing. She’s incredibly patient and kind but still holds me accountable and keeps me on track. Working out with Avery has transformed the way I think about health and exercise. Coming here is not a chore but something I genuinely look forward to. I never saw myself as a “gym person” until coming here and realizing I’d just never found the right gym. Highly recommend this place to any and everyone looking to get healthier. 11/10

The team here is friendly, helpful and encouraging — they’ve supported me in achieving my fitness goals and taught me to be much more comfortable in the gym. The facility is clean and comfortable for a beginner like myself. The private gym setting allows me to focus on the workout and the monthly check-ins track my progress, I have seen results quickly! I’m happily making gains with their guidance and would recommend this experience.

I highly recommend Jesse Hicks and the team at SST St. Pete! I've been training with Jesse for a little over a year now, and I am as strong today at 53 as I have ever been. During our time together, Jesse has consistently delivered customized training content based on my capabilities, goals, and time contraints. The monthly check-ins are great for accountability and updating my training plan. Working one on one in structured, hourlong sessions, with a tailored plan AND real-time feedback has enabled me to consistently pursue my fitness goals within a travel-heavy work schedule. For those not already expert in strength-training and fitness knowledge, I highly recommend SST!

Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone considering personal training. The coaches are very welcoming and encouraging. They also hold a wealth of knowledge and are willing to take the time in revisiting/reexplaining various training topics to make sure you are successful. I look forward to my sessions every week!

Life changing experience! I've been working out at Seriously Strong for almost three years now. I'm in my mid 30s and work in IT, so I'm usually sitting down for long hours and not very active during the day. These past couple of years at the gym, never I've felt and looked better in my life. Recently, I hit a personal goal of deadlifting over 400lbs. Can't say enough about the staff and location, professional, personal, clean, & welcoming environment. No pressure & stress, but they definitely work hard to keep you accountable. High recommend.

I couldn't recommend this gym enough. I've been working with Avery for nine months and I've been amazed and impressed with the results. She has been great to work with and makes working out very enjoyable. The system they've built to help their clients is comprehensive yet easy to follow, and they've created a very welcoming environment. I'd give six stars if I was able to.

Outstanding program. I am 78 years old and only after 10 sessions feeling the difference. Avery is my instructor and is amazing.She is genuinely concerned about my fitness. I am very pleased with this program. All the staff are cordial and interested in my success . My golf game has improved. My flexibility has greatly improved in 2 months.

If you’re looking for a place that you can feel comfortable & confident, this is it! I’m sure most people can relate to the anxieties that can flood your mind when you’re searching for a place to work out. Trust me when I say this place & the staff are 100% dedicated to giving you the most welcoming, safe, & non judgmental zone to accomplish whatever goals you have in mind. The number one focus is you! The one on one training is truly about building relationships & goals! Coming from a person who has never worked out in a formal fashion I was so scared to take that first step. SST ensures they start your journey focusing on what you want & what will be sustainable for you. They use education to develop a foundation & work to progress from there! I’m so glad I decided to chose this place to start my journey of being a better me. Shout out to all the staff for being so incredibly kind & caring. They make it a point to know everyone that walks in the door & the first thing you’ll hear is everyone saying hello to you. You’ll also get greeted by some pretty awesome gym dogs who love their biscuits! The trainers are all hand picked to fit the environment that supports the clients. I would highly recommend all of them. Special shout out to Kris for being amazing & putting up with my griping & encouraging me constantly that I can accomplish my goals! Thank you to the SST team for all you do! This is the place to be.

I've been working out with Dave at Seriously Strong for a few months now to get ready for my wedding. I'm so happy I decided to go with them for personal training. The atmosphere is very welcoming and Dave provides great workouts that have made me stronger and more confident. Highly recommend Dave & SST!

I've been training at SST with Avery for the last 3 months. I have just had my monthly in-body assessment and have lost 10% of overall body fat and gained 7lbs of lean muscle since starting mid-Jan. Avery sets up a customized weekly training routine that address the goals that we've set for each month. SST also uses a great app called Trainerize that I input my at home cardio and activities into to track. The gym is great! Always positive and friendly vibes and a great group of trainers Also, excellent, expensive SOtheA equipment. They are opening another new gym in Tampa and I'm sure it will be just as great as the StPete location. Thanks to Avery and SST for helping me to accomplish my goals and stay motivated!

I never thought I would get excited to wake up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym, but my trainer Jesse and all the folks at SST make it one of my favorite places to be. So far I’ve met or exceeded all my muscle gain and fat loss goals I set with Jesse while having a lot of fun in the process! I’ve always been a little intimidated at the gym, but Jesse has given me the confidence and knowledge that has taken me from a totally sedentary person to someone who loves working out. Jesse pays so much attention to my movement and making sure I have good form that he was able to spot an old foot injury that I never even told him I had. He tailors everything to my specific goals so I feel like not a minute of our time is wasted. Also, I’m transgender all the folks at SST have been nothing but amazing and welcoming. This is definitely a safe and positive space for LGBTQ folks and anyone looking to make an investment in their overall health.

Seriously Strong is the best gym I’ve been to. If you’re looking for welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable trainers, this is where you want to be. As someone who had never lifted before, I was somewhat intimidated when trying to find the right gym for me, but from the first time I went to check out SS, I instantly felt comfortable. My trainer, Lindsey, is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares and gets excited about my progress. I already feel such a positive difference in my life since joining SS, and definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a personal trainer!

Coming out of COVID, I dealt with what I assume a lot of people experienced: a lack of motivation and a need for someone to point me in the right direction. SST provided an amazing solution to this problem. For almost 9 months, I had the pleasure of working with three of the SST trainers. All of them were amazing in their unique ways. The plan they created for me was tailored to my specific wants and needs. Everyone working there is very knowledgeable and despite a long history of working out, I learned so many new things. Athena is an amazing manager, trainer and person. I will always have a special place in my heart for these people.

Seriously Strong Training is great! I started with this gym 6 months ago and The entire staff is awesome! They are very welcoming, they are all supportive and make you feel like part of the family. My trainer Kris is awesome!! He’s really well experienced and knowledgeable in the field. Beyond working out, Kris has taught me so much on workouts, form, lifestyle, etc. I would highly recommend both Seriously Strong Training and Kris! 💪🏼😊

I’ve been going to this gym for a little over a month and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. From the second I walked in, everyone has been super friendly and personable. As someone who’s never liked the gym or working out, I’m shocked that I not only enjoy going every week but feel great afterwards. Avery is the best trainer I could have ever asked for and is always encouraging while providing feedback to improve.

Seriously Strong Training is the best place to spend your money in St. Pete. The program WORKS! I was frustrated with fad diets and struggling to lose weight and keep it off. So I signed up at SST and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself! I used to hate exercising and I dreaded working out in the beginning; but now, 5 months into the program, I enjoy it! I have so much more energy than I did before, I have lost weight and fat, gained muscle, learned self discipline, and I'm so much happier! All the stress and guilt I used to feel over my diet and lack of exercise is gone! Even though I have a long way to go, I don't worry or stress or get impatient, because I know I'm doing it the RIGHT way. My trainer, Avery, is amazing and she makes every training session fun! It is such a relief to have an expert lead me through this journey. I never would've gotten this far without SST and Avery! The program and trainers do the hard part, and all I have to do is show up and follow instructions. The self discipline I have learned from this program is unbelievable! It has helped in all parts of my life. I never would've thought that going to the gym would make doing the dishes easier! I couldn't be happier with my experience at SST. I am truly experiencing a lifestyle change, and I know that it's only uphill from here! The reason to choose SST, is the price. You get what you pay for! I wanted to quit when I was a couple months in (because I used to quit every time I would try something new that was hard) but I couldn't quit because I had invested financially. I'm so grateful that I didn't quit, because now that I'm past that point, it feels easy! So do yourself a favor, and don't choose the cheap option. Invest in yourself and watch your life change at SST!

I joined SST after moving to St Pete a few months ago and I'm so glad I did! The facility is great and everyone is super welcoming and helpful. My trainer Kris Einboden answers any fitness related questions I have and is super knowledgeable. He's helped me see more results in just a few months than I have working out on my own inconsistently over the past few years. I finally enjoy working out thanks to SST! I'd definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals.

After having a baby I was in need of a program that fit my needs, helped me recover, and especially heal my abs. I need that extra push and motivation and started personal training with Athena in December. Nearly 3 months in and I am already stronger than I was pre-baby. I’ve also been able to heal my knee pain and lost 12 pounds. Athena creates comprehensive routines that go at my pace but challenge me to push myself each week. My body is feeling great and I am so thankful to be working with her to meet my goals. SST is an amazing gym, super clean, well organized and very professional. Everyone is very welcoming and I don’t feel intimidated even though I am new to weightlifting. Something I really appreciate is how thoroughly Athena explains and demonstrates each exercise and also how to stretch and take care of your body at home.

Seriously Strong Training is an amazing gym and atmosphere to be in. Everyone knows you by your name and treats you like family. The staff is phenomenal and makes sure to put you first. They help you each step of the way to reach and exceed your goals. As an intern here, I have learned about the body, how to train, and so much more. I will take all of the knowledge and experiences I have gained here throughout the rest of my career. It has truly been a valuable experience and has helped me fine-tune my expertise as a personal trainer. Through their variety-filled workouts, exceptional service, and warmth and kindness to every one, this gym is the place to train!

Seriously Strong Training is THE place if you’re looking to change your life. The gym itself is clean and inviting. The staff is warm, professional, genuine, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. It’s not just about a good workout. The trainers actually educate you on exercise, rehabilitation, nutrition and habit formation to provide the clients with longevity within heath and fitness. It’s honestly a one stop shop, so if you’re looking for the entire package this place is it!

Before I started working with Athena at Seriously Strong Training I did not think I would ever be someone who wanted to go to the gym. I was wrong. Athena listened to what I want to work on and made sure to create a program that was shaped around those goals. She’s so amazing and always gives me the push I need! I also love that I get to workout in a private environment where I can focus on what I am working towards. Everyone in the gym always brings good vibes and makes me feel at home. I would recommend SST to anyone looking to have fitness be a habit of theirs. PS they have the cutest gym dog Snooky!

Seriously Strong Training is by far the best gym I have ever been to. The trainers are always welcoming and provide a safe and trusting environment. Lindsey, my trainer, is extremely knowledgeable on the mechanics on how to exercise correctly. She challenges me and has helped me discover how strong I really am. She is amazing!! I feel very fortunate to train at SST.

I would highly recommend this place. I was super reluctant to start personal training again due to some precious bad experiences else where, but the moment I walked in the door for my first consult I felt at home. All of the staff up too and including the owner are super friendly, and make you feel super comfortable. Kris is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. He is patient and knowledgeable and sets realistic targets and goals. He’s super encouraging and takes the time to teach. He adjust plans as needed and is always pushing you to perfect your techniques. I couldn’t be happier and so glad I found seriously strong training. In 6 months I’ve already hit most of my 1 year goals and I’m stoked to see what my results look like in 6 more months. Book your appointment today, trust me you won’t regret it!
