Strength Training is For Everybody

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.

SSP has been life changing for both of us.

Kenzie: Strength training had previously been something incredibly intimidating, something I believed that you needed a certain body type to be able to handle, and certainly not something that was friendly to post-partum life. SSP quickly proved me wrong with their welcoming, positive, community oriented, safe space for anyone and everyone. I have never felt stronger, both mentally and physically, and I know I am now an even better role model for our daughter.

James: The focus on full body strength has alleviated years of ‘tall person + desk job’ neck and back issues and allowed me to feel confident about hiking and backpacking adventures with less worry about injuries along the way. I also now need to budget space in my luggage for a foam roller on any travel outside of the Seattle area.

We are so grateful for SSP!
