Testimonials
SSP is the first gym I’ve been to where I have felt truly safe and welcome. I come as I am and I don’t feel like I’m wearing the wrong thing or I’m too old or too big to be here. I have made faster and more impressive gains in strength and confidence here than anywhere else. The coaches really know, I mean KNOW, their stuff and are always able to provide accommodations and are quick with encouragement. I am so thrilled to have found this small but mighty gym.
I couldn’t tell you how many times I’d stood in a “normal” gym, totally unsure of what to do, in what order, how many and how heavy. With SSP all of that guesswork is gone. I’m not only developing the outputs of strength, fitness, and functional mobility, but also the inputs; the skill set of how to develop functional strength. Because of SSP, I know that I am setting up myself for a healthy future regardless of where or how I exercise. My results in 8 months have been the best of my life.
I really appreciate SSP’s focus on making strength training accessible to everyone. From the first day, the coaches met me where I was at and created customized programming to help me reach my goals. I also appreciate the strong emphasis on form and preventing injuries. In my 9 weeks with SSP West Seattle, I am already seeing results! I am able to do more reps, lift heavier weights, and my mobility has improved too!
SSP is a small but mighty gym with a great community and excellent trainers. They have worked with my physical limitations, adjusting my program as needed, and always with a focus on proper technique and safety. Due to the excellent training and support, my progress at SSP has been very steady. I’m so much stronger and healthier than I was when I first signed up 15 months ago, and physically better equipped to handle my day to day life. Simply put, SSP rocks!
At SSP, I am part of a community focused on being stronger. I feel seen for what I am capable of and challenged with each exercise to push myself a bit more. I enjoy the structure of personal training and classes, while looking forward to the variety of moves my coach selects for me. After a few days, I knew this was a place that would help me invest in myself. I am mentally and physically stronger. I move throughout my daily tasks with greater ease and joyfully incorporate more movement wherever I am.
There are too many things that I want to say. SSP is amazing- it has quite literally changed my life. I have never prioritized my health or fitness. I never thought strength training was something I could do. They showed me it’s for everyone. I’ve been coached and guided to working out at a level I never thought possible. I’ve become so strong and feel so empowered. I no longer dread a heavy suitcase or carrying my sobbing child and their bike half a mile home. SSP has helped improve my daily life! And it really just makes me so happy to have coaches that genuinely care. SSP is a real community, everyone supporting each other.
I’ve always felt anxious about stepping into gyms, worried that I wouldn’t measure up. But from the very first day at SSP, I was embraced by a supportive community that made those fears melt away. I genuinely felt welcomed and supported, which has transformed my mindset when working out.
Now, I’ve even become a morning person, anticipating each day I go because of the incredible people I get to workout next to. The coaches are also so amazing! They welcome you as soon as you step through the door and genuinely take the time to understand your unique needs ensuring that your training is tailored just for you and your body. They continuously encourage you to push your limits with exercises you might doubt you can accomplish, all because they know your potential and are there to support you every step of the way! With every session, I’ve noticed myself getting stronger, both mentally and physically. I am so grateful for this community!
I love walking into SSP and being greeted so warmly by whatever coach is working that day, it sets the tone for a happy and successful workout. I enjoy seeing familiar friendly faces, many of whom I now call my SSP friends. The gym feels so comfortable because of its inclusivity and respect for all levels of fitness, age, and size.
After one year with SSP (the first gym I’ve ever joined) I feel so much more confident moving my body! I initially joined to add to my rehab after a total knee replacement, and now, my new knee is stronger than ever thanks to SSP. I can walk up the hill from my house without getting winded, carry heavy grocery bags, and my balance has improved significantly. I feel more confident in all aspects of my life because I keep pushing myself to work hard every time I’m here.
