I’m so glad I found this place! After losing some weight doing cardio-based group fitness classes, I was ready for a change. I wanted to begin resistance training, and learning to perform the movements the right way was important to me. That’s really hard to do without the help of experts. Everyone there has a ton of knowledge, and they’re passionate about sharing it with you.SST cares about your goals and will tailor a program specifically for you. The monthly check-in provides quantitative feedback that you can’t get from a scale alone, and it allows a chance to reassess goals and make changes as needed. My trainer Jonathan even altered my program in the middle of a session to meet my specific needs. In the last few months I’ve seen measurable progress that motivates me to keep going. If you’re ready to make a change, I highly recommend checking them out!

The SST team is the very best. If you have goals and you are willing to do the work, SST can get you to your goal. I personally work with Gustavo Ramos. Gus is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, anatomy and exercise physiology. Gus studies your weekly life routine and with that knowledge adds his exercise and nutrition recommendations. I started with SST in March 2021. I am very pleased with my gains in strength and muscle mass and losses in % body fat. I have also observed and met the other SST team members. They are a quality group. I am a veterinarian that specializes in equine sports medicine so I know SST is the real deal. They go the extra mile to help you and to stay on the cutting edge of personal strength knowledge.

I joined Seriously Strong in Tallahassee in October 2020 and I love it. The trainers are excellent, enthusiastic, supportive, and genuinely interested in their clients. They focus on proper form and technique and provide lots of feedback. They frequently reassess goals and change up the workouts to keep things interesting and challenging. I’ve made visible progress in the time I’ve been training here and have been impressed by all the trainers there. 100% recommended!

I am so happy I found Seriously Strong Training after moving to Tallahassee. My experience has been awesome. Everyone there is friendly, professional and respectful. It is a very welcoming and supportive environment. During my relatively short time there, I am stronger, healthier and generally feeling better about my fitness than I have in a long time. I have accomplished this all while having a good time working out. Joey has been my trainer and he is awesome, What defines this place is the amazing people who work there who are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. I highly recommend Seriously Strong.

I joined SST in October of 2020 because it was a training only gym not open to the public with a one on one environment and thought I would only try it for a couple months but after experiencing the profesional and fun environment of this gym I will be staying a full year and maybe even longer! My confidence and strength have both improved so much since joining! I feel very motivated and supported by my trainer Joey to achieve my goals!

I was so happy to find Seriously Strong Training after moving to Tallahassee in July 2020. The personal training is top-notch. In addition to a strength training program tailored to each client’s needs and desires, they offer nutritional help, access to an awesome app that allows regular communication between client and trainer, and very tangible ways of measuring progress. My trainer Rachel has been awesome. Love her! It’s also a very friendly, clean and welcoming environment. Keep up the good work SST!!

Nothing but great things to say about SST. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and they do a great job matching clients with trainers based on their goals. As a moderately active skinny guy, I joined SST looking to get stronger and bulk up a little for my wedding. Jonathan has helped me improve my eating habits, look and feel great, and get stronger than ever. He’s taught me how to lift safely and effectively — my form on every lift is so much better now than it ever was when I was just learning stuff from YouTube.The gym puts a lot of focus on regular feedback, reevaluating goals, and tracking progress over time. Every three months, we spend the majority of a session reflecting on what’s been working and not working. The whole SST team is receptive to constructive feedback and I feel like we’ve been able to align my training really well with my goals as they’ve changed. There are smaller check-ins on a monthly basis as well.Gustavo (the head trainer) is a super nice and professional guy. I think he’s really succeeded in creating an environment that’s welcoming for all clients. He also gathered a lot of client feedback that has directly influenced their training handbook and other materials.

SST is the place to go to reach your goals! All of the trainers here are amazing and the positive atmosphere is unlike any gym I’ve ever been to - they will inspire you to push yourself & accomplish more than you thought you could. As an intern, I had taken my PT exam but needed hands-on training experience. Joey & Gustavo are awesome managers and their feedback/coaching has been invaluable. The whole team including Johnathan & Rachel are all amazing, they put a ton of time & energy into you and I would highly recommend SST to any aspiring PT or client!

It is only fair to write this review since I considered Seriously Strong Training (SST) based on their fabulous review ratings. I was impressed with the information (marketing) of their website. I moved to Tallahassee last year when the country literally shut down due to Covid. During that time, I stalked their website and reviewed all the articles and testimonials because it was a way to keep me mentally motivated until I could train. I didn’t want to go anywhere else until I scheduled my consultation. After that meeting, I couldn’t wait to start my fitness journey with them.First of all, I love my trainer, Gustavo but all the trainers there are FANTASTIC! What puts SST above all others is that during my one hour session, I matter! It is a one-on-one customizable training session based on my personal goals. Gus not only gives me non-session workouts, but he checks in often to make sure I stay accountable to my fitness goals and to my macro goals. I love data and they provide that for me in one awesome app.I was looking for a place that I can train for years to come and an accountability partner to motivate me to reach my goals. I found the place at SST and found my partner with Gus!I am one happy client! I highly recommend.

Seriously Strong Training has been such a positive experience for me. I highly recommend this facility. I am a beginner at weight lifting and my amazing trainer, Rachel, has taught me so much in a short time. Her, along with the rest of the SST staff are positive and upbeat, truly genuine, hard working and welcoming. Since day 1, I have felt absolutely accepted and supported by the entire team. My schedule is crazy and Rachel has always been nothing but accommodating. She has progressed me little by little and I have already had fantastic results. I learn something new each and every time I go whether it be about nutrition, form, or even just working on my mindset. I’m so thankful for her and proud of myself for the progress I have made so far.

Seriously Strong Training has become a second home to me. I cannot say enough good things about this place, but what sets it apart is the people that work there. The moment you walk in you feel nothing but acceptance, everyone greets you with a smile, and knows you by name. (Plus they have Lucky Goat on tap...) The type of exercise is like nothing I have ever done before, and has pushed me to places I didnt think I was capable of. I am very proud of the progress I have made, and if youre considering this place, dont hesitate it is worth it, and then some! Thanks guys.

I have nothing but great things to say about SST. I had a rather unique situation, and Gustavo was super helpful with structuring a plan and path for me for the short time I was there. He paired me with 2 solid trainers, Joey and Kelsey who were phenomenal. Joeys in depth knowledge on a variety of areas surrounding fitness and nutrition, and his laser focused not taking any excuses attitude, really gave me the drive, push, and insight I needed to hold myself accountable for my journey. Kelsey and Joey were always making sure my form was on point, payed genuine attention to whatever momentary complications my body might have had had during our sessions, and both did a great job with helping me push past my limits to uncover my strength potential. The most enjoyable experience overall was the fact they made the environment fun and challenging at the same time. Joey/Kelsey many thanks for the guidance, keep those dance moves tight, and remember theres always Powerthirst if you so happen to need gratuitous amounts of energy! Everyone there is the best and I highly recommend SST!

I started my weight loss and strength training journey with Seriously Strong just over a year ago and have lost 50 lbs so far and am continuing to achieve new strength goals! I have trained with 3 different trainers and everyone is very smart and well versed in all of the workouts and knows how to change things up for you to meet your personal goals. Lindsey is my current trainer and has been a huge encourager for me and pushes me to work harder, and explains things to me as many times as I need to understand! I highly recommend this gym!

SST is easily one of the nicest gym environments you will ever experience. Not just the equipment being clean but also the Trainers are what motivates me to come back. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly - they will push you to do your best. They are there to support you so don’t hesitate to ask them questions or advice. They have easily become like a second family to me. Even after training here for a year, they always have new workouts to do and every week is a little different and they help you achieve whatever goal you are trying to hit.

PHENOMENAL trainers - they are super friendly, and give amazing advice and feedback. I went in for some sessions and came out of it being a lot more confident on my workout form. They gave me the fitness and nutrition tools necessary to reach my goals, and were able to do some physical therapy to help me with injuries/injury prevention.Cannot recommend enough!

Honestly, I love everything about this place. Ive been trying to get fit for years but never got anywhere until I signed up here. All of the trainers are well knowledgeable and provide the extra motivation needed to get over the fitness hump. Joeys been killing it.

I was looking for an internship/ shadowing experience in Tallahassee to learn more about personal training when I came across Serious Strong. I found the people there to be very nice, knowledgeable and willing to help me reach my professional goals and my health goals. Not only do they care about the growth and development of their employees, but also the people who seek their help. They are a very client-oriented gym and really care about my goals and helping me achieve them. From weight-loss to strength training, they know how to get it done in more ways than I would have imagined. The trainers there make every workout fun, purposeful and honestly the best part of my day. The facility is very nice, kept exceptionally clean, and is constantly being improved. I cant recommend SST enough!!

I dont even know where to start I love this place so much! I decided to train at SST to help me get ready for BMT, and it has been one of the best decisions Ive made this year. Everything is super clean and the team is great. Shout out to Lindsey, my personal trainer, who is THE BEST! I couldnt have asked for a better person to help me get through the tough training days, help me get seriously strong, and keep me on task. Go here! It is well worth it and you cant put a price tag on the quality of professionalism and training SST has to offer.Thank you team SST for everything, Im going to miss you all so much!!

I began training with Gustavo last October, and continued working out with him until the COVID pandemic came about. After that, we began slowly getting back into training in the beginning of this June and my plan with him expired recently. This time spent training with and learning from Gustavo was one of the best decisions that I made for my health in a long time. I had gotten into a rut with my exercise routine after going through some surgeries with subsequent health complications, and I knew that I needed to get back on that proverbial horse. But I wanted an expert to guide me, to teach me the proper body mechanics to ensure safe form, to assist with devising a plan of action, and to provide motivation and inspiration. Gustavo went above and beyond with all of these things. My time at Seriously Strong has affected my life in such a positive way - my strength, endurance, and flexibility have increased and I just feel healthier, happier, and more confident overall. I came into this experience with prior knowledge of the body from my work in the Occupational Therapy and Massage Therapy fields, but I have learned so much more training with Gustavo. All of this wisdom will be carried with me to all my future workout sessions, whether at home or in the gym. If you are questioning whether to invest in training at Seriously Strong, I would without a doubt say sign up. You will be so thankful that you did!

I almost finished a whole year at SST! I started going as cross training for ultra-running and finished my first 50K race injury-free. All trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and excellent teachers. I particularly like the goal-oriented, personal, and holistic approach to training (and life). Its definitely worth the investment.

Review №22

I have been a client at Seriously Strong Training for about nine months now. When I first sat down for a consultation, I was nervous since I had never been to a gym before. I was 26 years old and had weighed the same weight since middle school, 117 lbs. I wanted to gain muscle mass and be in overall better health. Athena (who now is at the Pinellas County location) talked me through the training program and introduced me to a trainer who worked with me for a two-week trial period. Within those two weeks, I had gained 4 lbs.As soon as I signed up for a full membership, I started training with Joey Marino, who has been amazing. Ive made incredible gains in the time since I began training: Ive gained lots of muscle mass, reduced my body fat, gained nearly 20 lbs as Id hoped, and have a consistent meal and sleep schedule due to working closely with Joey.Seriously Strong Training is like a family. I never thought Id feel that way about a gym because Im not the stereotypical athletic type. But I look forward to my next visit each time I leave. Joey makes training fun and worthwhile. And I love interacting with the other staff, who are all kind, interesting, and encouraging.I cant recommend SST enough. If you are looking to build muscle or lose weight, please look no further. You wont be disappointed.

Ive trained at other places, but Ive made the most progress and had the most positive experiences here by far. I trained with Lindsey and she is very knowledgeable and excellent at motivating her clients. She always made herself available if I had questions outside of our training sessions, and Ive learned a lot training with her for the past year. All in all, SST was a wonderful experience and Im glad I found them!

Review №27

I thought I’d write a comment - a kind of heads up - to anyone looking for a serious gym. I’m entering my third month at Seriously Strong Gym and am quite satisfied with the level of service so far.The trainer that I have, Rachel, is a conscientious professional that, by all appearances, takes her job earnestly as do all of the trainers at this facility. The mood has always been up beat and everyone that works there knows your name after the first visit. The clientele seem dedicated which keeps me keep focused, and represent a varied cross section of society. As an additional benefit, that I like very much, is that it is not a fashion show gym where the beautiful people come to show off the newest in gym attire. This is a trainer gym to help me gain the strength that I’ve lost as the years have passed. Rachel knows this and has built a regiment that keeps me at the forward edge without getting injured or too sore to function the next day (close on a few days though). The only downside that comes to mind is there is no shower facility. But I have one at home lol.If anyone wants to know if a real person wrote this, my name is Greg and I’m here m-w-f at 3:00p.

Im training with Rachel and she is so professional and knowledgeable - im making awesome progress losing weight AND getting stronger. While Rachel is my trainer, all of the staff are so kind and helpful. The gym itself is a great place to work out and feels much more comfortable and clean than a public gym.

After proposing to my girlfriend in October of 2019, I was determined to get in better shape prior to our wedding. I had previously struggled working out on my own during and after college. By the time I proposed, I was the heaviest I had ever weighed.Signing-up with Seriously Strong Training was a serious commitment to bettering both my health and fitness. I initially signed-up for a 6-month contract in January, which included two 1-hour sessions a week or eight sessions a month.Personal training isnt cheap, but Seriously Strong Training makes it worthwhile due to the level of attention, training, and equipment they provide you as a client.Im fortunate to have a great trainer in Jonathan Hoch, who worked with me to create a personalized fitness and nutrition plan. Jonathan is a great listener, which means my plan changes week to week or month to month based on how well its working for my goals.(In my experience every trainer at Seriously Strong Training has a similar work ethic.)After my 6-month contract expired, I switched to Virtual Training. However, Im hoping to get back into the gym again at least once or twice a week in the near future.Since January, I have lost 43lbs and decreased my body fat percentage over 11%.

I have been training at SST for the last year and my only regret is not finding this place sooner! This gym is absolutely worth the investment. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the facility is always clean. I have worked with Joey for the last year and have been impressed with his ability to tailor the workouts to my specific goals and help me overcome plateaus with my weight loss. His positive attitude makes workouts enjoyable. I had never tried strength training before starting here but I have never once felt intimidated, they emphasize teaching proper form and technique. Prior to finding this gym, I was never able to commit longterm to an exercise regimen and dreaded working out. I found that the accountability that SST offers was a huge key to my success and I look forward to my workouts now. If you are thinking about making a change, do yourself a favor and join Seriously Strong.

2020 was a year most of us would like to forget, but SST made sure it was a year I would always remember. SST agreed to take a chubby client on in January and changed my life. I went from 240 lbs to 201, lost fat in places i didn’t know i had it, and gained SO MUCH muscle. There is a lot of influencers and body builders out there today, but Jonathan Hoch knows what he is talking about and GETS RESULTS. Jonathan helps you understand which workouts target which muscles, which movements you want to focus on, and proper technique. The mentality is to learn it now so you can retain the knowledge forever. Jonathan, Goose, Joey, Rachel, Lindsey, Keith and anyone else I missed at the Tallahassee gym, I can’t thank you enough for the transformation you have helped me achieve, and I appreciate you making every work out painful but also fun.

I joined SST from a friends recommendation and have been thrilled with my decision. I started because of a previous back injury causing me daily pain to the point where it hurt to get out of bed each morning and did not improve much throughout the day.

Review №39

I started coming to Seriously Strong Training in July and started training with Lindsey. From the beginning, I could tell that I was going to enjoy my experience. I came in with little to no experience about strength training and was a little hesitant. Lindsey made sure to properly gauge my knowledge and took the time to make sure that I learned the fundamentals before getting into lifting. I really appreciated Lindsey teaching me about listening to what my body needed when doing certain movements, incorporating mobility exercises to strengthen my weaker areas, and emphasizing the need for recovery in between sessions with stretches. All of the staff are wonderful and inviting at every session. If you are looking for a great place to learn new things and feel completely supported along the way....Seriously Strong Training is definitely the place for you.

Seriously Strong Training is the best place to start! Ive never been to any gym before so I had my reservations. Being a newbie I searched for and tried free workout on other gyms within Tallahassee. SST welcomes you with a warm introduction and talk about your personal goals and how you can achieve it. Athena paired me to my awesome trainer Taylor who always pushes me to become better and stronger. Taylor teaches me not only how to use those equipment but also proper body mechanics which is important for my safety. He also helped me change my lifestyle to become a healthier one. Athena, Gustavo, Taylor and others who work at SST are very knowledgeable on what they do. SST is highly commendable and recommended!

This gym is seriously awesome, in the past I’ve always had a hard time creating a solid gym routine, so I decided to use a personal trainer to help hold me accountable. I’ve been training with Gustavo (Goose) 5 days a week since December and seen awesome gains. More importantly though he has been really helpful in helping me overcome what I like to call laziness withdrawals. When I felt nauseous, tired, or weak, he has adjusted the trainings to maximize my performance to not only to help get great results but keep my motivation high. I look forward to my continued gains. Well worth the money.

Best gym Ive ever joined, by far. I first did the 2-week free trial, which encompasses 4 personal training sessions, and I cant speak highly enough about how comprehensive the trainers are in terms of developing a work out plan for you, based specifically on your strength training level and the goals which you hope to accomplish. Athena was my trainer for these initial 4 sessions, and she seriously knows her stuff - shes also an excellent teacher and will push you to succeed, not push you to fail. I am now in the small group training sessions, and I appreciate the teaching and coaching Im able to get in these sessions as well. Nadine, like Athena, is a great trainer.

Despite training almost exclusively virtually with SST over the past ~4 months, I have been able to achieve and maintain my fitness goals all thanks to my SST trainer, Gustavo! Gustavo is highly motivating, energizing, and extremely resourceful in creating workout plans utilizing my very limited equipment. Like all the SST trainers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, Gustavo is highly qualified and passionate about his work at SST. The SST gym is beautiful and clean, and staff have been sensitive and communicative to the dynamic COVID19 situation to ensure their clients feel safe at the facility. I highly recommend SST for anyone interested in kickstarting their fitness journey or elevating their fitness goals, as you truly receive 1 on 1 training that’s not only effective, but will make you excited to keep coming back for more!

If you are looking for extraordinary one-on-one coaching with careful attention to form (and injury prevention!), then this is the gym for you. My trainer, Jonathan, has helped me to set goals, monitor and better understand my diet, and emphasize consistency. The focus on mobility has been critical for me, as it has allowed me to complete lifts and exercises that were impossible in the past. The positive training environment—it’s all about encouragement rather than judgment—is refreshing. The equipment is excellent, and the gym is always spotless. Plus, they have Lucky Goat coffee, which I need after my early-morning workouts. Sign-up—you will not be disappointed!

SST is hands down the best gym in Tallahassee. From the first moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and encouraged. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Gyms can be very intimidating, but I never feel that way at SST. No judgment here! They have an excellent facility. It is clean and all of the equipment is kept in top-notch shape. The app they use is great because you can easily see the progress youre making and there are videos of all the exercises to help you. The best part about SST though is the trainers. I have worked with Lindsey for several months and I cant say enough great things about her. She is a wealth of information about all things strength training and nutrition. She takes the time to ensure proper form, explain the exercise and why it is important, and gives great feedback. It is clear everyone at SST has a passion for health and exercise and all of the knowledge to back it up. I highly recommend SST to everyone who is serious about their health and fitness! I never expected to look forward to going to the gym, but I do!

So I’ve been doing personal training at SST for about 3 months now and each session has been amazing! At first I had reservations about signing up but my experience so far has only been excellent. Every trainer there is knowledgeable about various exercises and the muscles involved. I came in not knowing anything about weightlifting or strength training and have learned so much about it thus far. My trainer, Joey, always has positive energy and is very charismatic and keeps me going every session! Even though it’s personal training, it always feels like every trainer there works with you and combines their knowledge to facilitate your improvement, almost like you’re part of a family. Over the past few weeks Joey has helped me establish goals as well as help me better understand my diet and what I should be eating to further improve. The gym always has a positive atmosphere and and I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to improve their health and learn a lot!

Ive been strength training at SST for 4 months and thoroughly enjoy working out with Lindsey! Upon meeting her you can tell she has a passion for training. I appreciate her laser-like focus on form; providing continuous feedback to ensure I can perform each exercise correctly on my own. She will demonstrate each move and provide cues to help me remember proper form. Whenever asked, she will modify any exercise to meet my personal needs or to adapt to the equipment available in my gym. Her encouragement motivates me to push my body to do more and Lindsey is accessible between training sessions if I ever have questions.

I researched the best ranked gym in Tallahassee and SST was the clear winner. In a little over 3 months I dropped approx 25lbs, went down 3 pant sizes, went down two suit jacket sizes, and overall became a healthier me. The gym at SST is top notch with all the equipment you need in order to complete your workouts. The staff is equally as first-class. Every trainer is there to help facilitate your fitness goals and has the knowledge to help you get there. I trained with Johnathan and I highly recommend him. I continue to train at SST to work towards a better me. So for anyone looking for a gym that caters to your needs, look no further than Seriously Strong. 5 Stars.

I have been going to Seriously Strong for a couple months now and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have improved many of my lifts, learned new lifting techniques and felt better about my body and mind since working with my trainer, Taylor. If you want to improve your health and getting stronger doing it, I highly recommend Seriously Strong and especially Taylor!

I joined Seriously Strong Training 2 months ago with a few goals; strengthen my core and lose weight. I have already started to see results! The staff at SST are personable and knowledgeable. I’ve been working with Joey to reach my goals. In addition to my regular sessions, Joey has programmed supplemental workouts for the days I’m not in the SST facility and he continues to adapt my workouts to meet my goals. The trainers are engaged with their clients and want to see them succeed. I’d definitely recommend SST to anyone looking for personalized training.

I started working out at SST a few months ago and have noticed a huge change in my strength, stamina, body and overall health. I train with Lindsey who is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and positive. I knew basically nothing when i started and I’ve learned so much. I’ve been converted to a fitness lover for life! Thanks Lindsey and SST!

I worked out primarily with Andrew and for a little while, Brian. These guys are great--I have and would recommend them to anyone that asks. Super knowledgeable, fun to be around, and will push as much as you need it. I especially like that there are very few people working out a time and everyone is very focused on their workout--no folks standing around socializing and flexing in the mirror slowing your workout down.In three months of working out here and following their diet guidance I cut my weight by about 25 pounds dropping my body fat 7%. My strength and body composition both improved dramatically.The only downside is Ive had to go buy a bunch of new clothes--I was a 40 waist when I started and now Im down to a 34/36 waist.

Joined Seriously Strong Training in August of 2018 and it has been the best decision I’ve made towards my health. I’ve lost weight, gained strength and the confidence to go to the gym regularly on my own. I also continue to train with Gustavo and Joey at Seriously Strong Training to keep improving and hold myself accountable. The team is great, and the gym allows me to learn strength training in a comfortable and supportive environment.

I loved training at Seriously Strong Training! I was looking for someone to teach me the correct form and how to tone my body and loose weight at the same time. I 100% recommend training with Nadine! She is a great person to be around and will connect with you on personal level. Nadine is always there to correct your form and push you to a new level, especially on leg day. I highly recommend Seriously Strong Training!

So, the only reason I ended up joining SST was because of how crazy good their reviews were. After being with them for almost 5 months now, I can see why! I began my journey with Lindsey and it probably was “meant to be” because we clicked instantly. Throughout my experience with Lindsey, I went from a lumpy 170 lbs to a sexy, goddess of 154 lbs and I’m still continuing to lose weight, gain muscle and tone my sweet cheeks! This place will help you with your fitness goals to where you actually see results.

The facility and trainers at Seriously Strong are beyond exceptional. Not only do they provide an upbeat professional training experience, they also teach every detail of lifting so I can go and do workouts on my own with confidence. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for serious personal training.

I have nothing but the best to say. SST has an awesome group of trainers who are all knowledgeable and personable that work hard to make your fitness goals real. I always look forward to training and I have been able to see improvements in a very short period of time. Something that is very important to me is knowing exactly why we choose to do something a certain way. They have always been able to answer my questions which has built a huge amount of trust into my relationship with them. Thanks guys!

I came to SST with Hashimotos + a back injury. I had tried physical therapy and so many other things including working with other trainers. It wasnt until I started working out with Athena at SST that I really started to feel better and stronger. She understood all of my special needs when it came to my training and past injuries.Athena and all the trainers dont just put you through the motions. They stop, correct and TEACH you how to do better when you are on your own. There are even cameras so that you can watch yourself to check your form!Im constantly traveling for work and my schedule is always changing so it has always been tough for me to stick to an exercise routine. My experience was SST is the first time Ive been able to keep up with my training even when I was out of town. Their support and routines while Im on the road are amazing!Added perks are all the great equipment and that the facility is always clean. During the cooler days the door was open and there was actually fresh air in the gym!I have a long road back to regaining my health and I couldnt do it with out Seriously Strong Training.

I’m a 50 year old ups delivery driver that needed to get back into shape after 20 years on the job. When I first came into sst I was having problems with one of my shoulders. After working with Jonathan for six months I no longer have any issues whatsoever and have gained a lot of strength and endurance that I haven’t had in years. It’s helped me tremendously on the job and has helped me on my fitness journey. The staff are really great and supportive. Best thing I’ve ever done.

Review №73

Strength training is something that Ive always wanted to add to my fitness routine. I went as far as contacting some local personal trainers but I could never take that first step and actually commit to a program. I finally decided that I needed to make that change, commit to it and make it happen now. I have worked with Christian and Keith for almost a year now and I feel incredible. My self-confidence has greatly improved and most importantly, we are making incredible progress towards my fitness goals. A major injury and a minor injury that occurred outside of the gym did not discourage Christian from adjusting my workouts to ensure there would be no additional damage but at the same time continuing to make progress towards my fitness goals. Working with the staff at SST has been an incredible experience. The trainers there are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and concerned about how YOU feel you are progressing and most importantly caring about their clients. After the accidents, Christian kept in contact to see how I was feeling, whether I needed anything and he would be there if I did. ALL of these things I mentioned create a workout environment that is not only about all of the hard work you put into reaching your goals but also about the creative and fun environment SST provides that makes you WANT to work out. Christian has been the biggest part of my improvement; convincing me to do things I think I cant and always encouraging me while I am doing them and congratulating me when Im done. There is no one better than Keith and Christian and I would and do recommend them to everyone I know.

I first became aware of Seriously Strong Training when I met Gustavo Ramos 2 months ago. His passion and comprehensive knowledge of strength training were immediately evident. As a personal trainer myself, I wanted to take my training to the next level. Since working with Gustavo I have become leaner, gained strength, put on muscle, and learned a substantial amount of new information. Any trainer can string together random exercises to make you sweaty. However, it takes a teacher to guide you from where you are to where you want to be. If you want a team of trainers with a system to get you the results you desire, then invest in yourself by going with Seriously Strong Training.

Review №76

This gym rocks! I knew I needed to incorporate weight training in my routine but weight rooms at your average gym can be intimating when youre a newbie. Seriously Strong is so much more than your average gym! Its one on one personal training with hands down the most skilled trainers around. Ive been training with Gustavo (aka Goose) for three months now and I have seen far more gains than I was able to accomplish on my own or in group classes. Goose is very knowledgeable and has an infectious positive energy that makes early AM workouts - dare I say fun! The entire staff is welcoming, the gym is well equipped and always clean. I travel for work sometimes and I appreciate the flexibile schedule and the ability to track my homework on their app. Im looking forward to getting stronger and Im grateful I found the best gym in Tally!

Before finding this gym, I was sick, losing muscle fast, and struggling with a relationship with food. On impulse, I decided to check the gym out and fell completely in love with everything about it. Every trainer is fun and welcoming, but naturally, Nadine became my absolute favorite. She is so easy to talk to and makes every single training session the best part of my day. I genuinely have to resist coming in 7 days a week, which I never thought I would say. She has taught me so much about a reasonable relationship with food, losing fat, and building muscle. I am beyond happy to be able to say that because of my training with Nadine, I have never felt more confident. We do exercises specific to what I need, and everything we’ve been working at has been a success story. I truly love her SO much. 10/10 recommend. :)!!!

Seriously Strong Training is the best decision I have ever made regarding my fitness. I came in wanting to gain weight and muscle and so far the results are great. My trainer Brian always pushes me to my limits and also makes it a lot of fun at the same time. He is very knowledgable when it comes to weightlifting and he has helped out an enormous amount in meeting my goals. I recommend this place 1000% to anyone that wants to take their training to the next level.

Initially, I chose SST because it’s close to my house, but I’ve had such a positive experience here that I would choose it again in a heartbeat even if I had to drive across town. The gym is super well equipped but the trainers are what set this place apart. Working out with Adam has been a joy — he is knowledgeable, patient, super friendly and energetic, and I’m really lucky to have found a trainer I can trust to motivate me, teach me proper form and technique and hold me accountable when I need it. I feel stronger than ever before, and the vibe at SST is so positive and motivational that I actually look forward to coming in and working out. It’s absolutely worth it.

After two months, at 3 times a week, I cant recommend this group highly enough! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and have a great rapport with their clients. I have actually ENJOYED working out with them! Im very impressed that I felt like I got great workouts without being so sore I couldnt move the next day. The location was great, never feeling cramped or like you didnt belong. The trainers were flexible with their time and respectful of mine. One true value is their attention to detail, stressing the importance of good form, preventing injury, and making sure that proper form was used. Another skill is their ability to read the client and know what exercises to work on. They have been great at helping me prevent injuries allowing me to keep exercising. I told them my goal was to develop a fitness lifestyle. They have helped me achieve that goal!

Seriously Strong is seriously amazing! Brian was my trainer and he started off by asking me my fitness goals and what I thought were my areas of weakness. He tailored my session to help me work toward achieving those goals while showing me the correct form to get maximum gains. Brian didnt just help me utilize the gym, but he focused on my needs and how to make my workouts productive. I recommend Seriously Strong to anyone who is serious about their health and fitness.

Review №84

Ive been working with Athena Landy for about 6 months now, and I can definitely see the reason SST has so many positive reviews. Since the beginning, our sessions have been challenging, informative, and encouraging. Athena has been really patient with me in learning proper form, learning how to balance my life with health changes, and many other things.One of my biggest struggles with health is consistency, and Athena has helped me recognize the process and to appreciate progress. All of the trainers are kind, and the environment helps people, like me, overcome the intimidation of getting in the gym.I came to SST looking for a change, but I gained so much more - a trainer who I also consider a friend, sustainable lifestyle changes, and knowledge that will help me in the future.

I first reached out to these guys at the end of 2015 to inquire about their strength and conditioning program. I reached out to a few similar strength training gyms around Tallahassee and didn’t even get a response back from one. I started training with the Seriously Strong Training team because of their professionalism & equipment selection. I played sports in high school and college and have had a personal trainer before, but didn’t experience real strength training focused on my form & technique until I started working with Keith, Christian, Athena, and Gustavo. I’ve had injuries before, and I knew I needed to avoid them to accomplish my goals. They have always been extremely accommodating with my crazy schedule, and I love that I can work with any member of their team and know I will have a great training session.Over 2016 I’ve taken my bench press from 245 to almost 300, and I’ve lost 25lbs along the way. My back, chest, shoulders and arms are more muscular every day and my waist & jawline are more defined. My testosterone is up, as is my confidence and happiness. My overall quality of life has risen dramatically. My diet is better. I exercise every day. You have to check these guys out!

Review №87

I cant rave about Seriously Strong enough. Not only they paired me with a great trainer (Lindsey!), I also gained a friend from it. Ive learned so much about becoming healthier and stronger from Lindsey, and that includes tracking macros, using proper technique, and focusing on mind-muscle connection during workouts. Everyone there is incredibly friendly as well. At first I thought it was a bit weird that everyone seems to always be in such good mood, but I realized that its hard to not be in that type of mood when youre surrounded by positive vibes and a can do attitude. On some days, Snooky (the owners sweet old black lab) is in attendance and would let me me hug and kiss her, when Im not being too clingy. Such a cutie pie.

Best trainers you could ask for! There are not enough words in the dictionary to express how much I love being trained by Christian, Athena, and Keith. Im not only stronger but Im happier mentally thanks to these 3. Regardless of your size, your age, your athletic ability, they will treat you like you are special and that you can do anything. They truly believe in your success and give you every tool you need to reach your goals. Do not hesitate to try Seriously Strong training today!!!

I started coming to Seriously Strong Training in December of 2016, 4 days a week at 5:30am. By February I was coming 5 mornings a week. Then in the Fall of 2017 I decided to get up even earlier to train for 90 minutes instead of 60 because I love it here. My workouts are intense, my trainer Gustavo is knowledgeable, and takes the time to teach me the correct technique and form for each exercise. The SST team has given my lifestyle a complete overhaul: my nutrition, my lifting, and my strength are all much better than when I came in. I even take the trainers out to dinner sometimes because they have become friends

Very knowledgeable. At least a few trainers have degrees in exercise physiology.Very strong emphasis on form. Andrew, my trainer, focuses on doing exercises correctly but at the same trying to gain strength, which I have.Prices are reasonable. Prices would be higher, if not much higher, in larger cities for what you get.

Seriously Strong Training is in a class of its own when it comes to personal training. It is an incredible facility for people of all levels of personal fitness.

I started training at SST back in January with my wife gifting me a month for Christmas.....I couldnt just stop there. Ive consistently seen improvements in my lifts & increases in the weight I can move. The coaches are a constant source of knowledge, support & encouragement.Ive trained with each trainer at SST from Keith, Gustavo and Pat on occasion and all have been great, but Athena has been my regular coach since beginning. I cannot sing high enough praise for her. Athena has truly been a joy to workout with, even though 99% of my training sessions have been at 630am. I believe her constant push and encouragement have helped me get to where I am today with my training.My numbers may not be impressive to many, but I am proud of what Ive accomplished so far. Thank you Athena and all the trainers at Seriously Strong Training for getting me to where I am today & for giving me the knowledge & confidence to grow in my training. I cannot recommend this place enough. Try it out.....You will not be sorry

I think if I had to focus on what makes SST amazing for personal training is the personal part. I have asthma and generally dont do well in the boot camp types of training but Ive been training with Nadine for a month now and the training we do is specifically design for me and my needs. It changes and adapts as my needs do and as I become more fit. I am so glad I signed up! I love that they keep me in check, provide me some seriously personal training, and advise me on nutrition. I really think they have something amazing going on.

I went in for a one-hour trial session expecting to do a few pushups and go over basic form on a few exercises, but let me tell you, these folks arent playing around. Half an hour in, I thought Id turn to jelly, and by the time the session was over, Im honestly surprised I hadnt. My trainer was very professional and helped me make sure I didnt actually break anything (its been a while since I excercised regularly), and Ill definitely be back soon.

Review №95

Theres a reason SST has 150+ five star reviews... I came to SST looking for a trainer who could hold me accountable for working out. After training with Nadine for only two months, I have gotten SO much more than I expected. Not only have I seen and felt improvements with my body and health, but other people notice too! Nadine is extremely passionate and knowledgable about training and overall health. She has taught me to love training, which is something I never thought I would say! She accommodates to any specific needs that I have to make sure I get the most of my training. She has become a good friend, and the days I get to train with her are my favorite days of the week! In the two months I have been training with her, I have lost weight, gained muscle, and have been feeling better than I have felt in a REALLY long time. I could go on all day about Nadine and SST, but youll have to see for yourself. Like I said, theres a reason this place 150+ five star reviews.

I was looking for a strength trainer and gym that was above the rest and about the customers. I am an athlete but this gym is for everyone, athletes, those just looking to improve their fitness level, or lose weight with trainers who are certified and know exactly how to get you to your goal. I could not be more happier that I chose this gym. I have already seen a change in my form, ability, and fitness level. I would highly recommend this gym and the trainers. It felt like home and a family here the first time I set foot inside. Keith is my trainer and he is by far, the best, more than I imagined!!!! But there is also trainers, Christian and Athena at the gym and I have seen them train as well, and they are hands down, the best as well. This gym is well rounded with knowledgeable trainers and great equipment. You cant go wrong here, you have to check this gym out.

Review №97

Without a doubt, training at SST has improved my life. I am healthier, leaner, and stronger. It isn’t just about how much I can lift in the gym; my life is better outside the gym. I can stay in my saddle when my horse rears up on me. I can swim and pull someone to safety on a rescue buoy…Baywatch style. I can lift large debris and help with heavy cleanup after Hurricane Michael.The trainers at SST are knowledgeable, motivating, and attentive. My trainer, Gustavo, explains the science behind each exercise, so I understand why my form is important. We discuss my nutrition and macronutrient daily goals. He encourages me to eat more veggies…but he can’t be great at everything…sorry Gustavo.The bottom line is if you are looking for a trainer that will focus on your goals with you and get you lean and strong…SST is for you.

Review №98

I have always wanted to lift weight, gain muscles and loose fat, but never ventured in the weight section of the gym for a few reasons. I did not know how to lift and simply hated going to the weight section as a woman. That’s when I started researching personal training in Tallahassee. I came across SST. Athena was wonderful. She paired me up with Lindsey who is such a delight to work with. She made me feel welcome and comfortable. She understood that I was new to training, was patient, and gave just the right amount of push to ensure that I was progressing. Since working with Lindsey I have lost weight and gained strength and muscle. She has a ton of knowledge on nutrition and is always learning new ways to utilize food as a fuel. I would have to say the most valuable lesson I learned from Lindsey is to stop seeing food (especially carbs) as an enemy but to enjoy great healthy foods that make me feel good and energized. I amended my cycles of binge eating followed by starvation, and the results have been phenomenal both physically and emotionally.

I’ve been working out for years and have tried many different exercise programs. From CrossFit to Yoga to “boot camp” type workouts, I never really felt like I was working out at full potential. I wanted to find a place where I not only could workout but also gain knowledge to be a healthier stronger me. When I decided to try SST I was a little skeptical but I can honestly say these guys know what they’re doing! Not only do they provide you with a specialized workout program based on your needs/desires but they also give you a “home like” feeling when you work out. It’s like working out with friends, if your friends were all really strong and loved talking about nutrition or workout programs. SST is great and really makes exercise and nutrition fun. I’ve worked with Gustavo, Brian, and Keith but mostly Gustavo. If you’re looking for someone to talk to about the science of nutrition then he’s your guy! I’ve really enjoyed our workouts. I would recommend SST to anyone whether beginner or advanced!

If you are looking to really learn about strength training the right way, then this is the place for you. They will help you reach your goals and teach you along the way. The gym has a great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable people and you won’t be disappointed if you decide to check it out. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to start training or learn new things.
