Really lovely experience dropping in on Thanksgiving. Dropping in can be a daunting process…read moreespecially when its a bigger group working out together but I felt comfortable the entire time. Pros: great communication leading up to my time there. Happy that they had the workout on the website so I knew what to expect. When I walked in I found one of the coach's and he was kind and welcoming and after a few questions gave me a quick run down on the space. The head coach was really great! Lots of enthusiasm, humor, and explained the workout pretty well (though not all at once). I would totally take a class with him again. He even came over to me to tweak a movement which I appreciated as occasionally when I drop in places they ignore me when there since its often a one time visit (though with how much I travel it often isnt). The gym is very well organized, clean, and you can tell they take great care of the equipment. Cons: As a drop in, my experiences is usually that people come up and introduce themselves to a new face or sometimes there is some sort of acknowledgement by the coach that there are some or a drop in, but not the case here. The main gripe I had with this gym was the fact that everyone started cleaning up while folks were still finishing the WOD and not just putting things away, they legit started mopping! I was still on the ground doing sit ups and people were legit mopping around my head. I get wanting to keep the place clean, but that was super rude in my opinion. I would have much preferred people coming to cheer me on, which is the crossfit way. Thanks for the drop in!

I have to say that even though I had some hesitation going in on the first day due to arriving late; I am glad I decided to go! The owners and members welcomed me with open arms! I was asked if I had things "I wanted to work on, or I was welcome to join in the WOD." I love the fact they offer an open gym session for 1.5 hours almost everyday. If you are like me and love Crossfit, but dislike the ego some gyms tend to have, then try this place out for sure.

This allowed me to try CrossFit out without the commitment of paying and signing up. Though CrossFit isn't my favorite way of exercising, I only have good things to say about this gym.

I felt exhausted but accomplished after the classes!

I've told multiple boxes in the past that whatever gym I do my first bar muscle up at will be the best CrossFit gym. Well, I got my first bar muscle up here. The facility is quite nice as well.

I have had an exceptional experience during my 3 months at Seriously Strong in St. Petersburg!…read more For context, I've worked with personal trainers on & off over 20 years in Atlanta, Chicago and St Pete. I know the difference between 'good', 'average' and 'bad' when it comes to PT's. I'm a Male in my early 60's who is focused on Power Lifting training and wants someone to have an eagle eye in form/technique to mitigate risk of injury and to optimize my time in the gym. In my eyes, 'good' starts with a PT who is prepared (the plan is set before I arrive for the session, not 'made up on the fly'), a PT who engaged throughout the session, monitoring technique/ensuring good form to mitigate injury risk and who is personable/fun to work with while not being afraid to push me to heights/challenges I likely wouldn't take on by myself. Andrew Cao, the Director of the St Pete location, is a very good leader and sets the tone for the high levels of professionalism that each of the trainers exhibit as I watch them work with their clients. My trainer, Joe Cameron, has been exceptional to work with & is beyond 'good' as outlined above. - The gym is never 'packed' (5 clients at one time is max I've seen during my 3 months and it's busy w/out being claustrophobic). - You are greeted warmly, by name, by all upon arrival, - the facility has all the major equipment you need - the 'Trainerize' app they use is the best I've encountered in my fitness journey and is comprehensive re: exercise (w/videos available for every movement), food, water & steps tracking all-in-one. - the place is as clean as a whistle with towels provided along with home brewed Nitro Coffee. I can't say enough good things about Seriously Strong and urge you to connect with Andrew for an introductory session!

She has helped me see great results through gaining strength, keeping myself accountable, staying encouraged, and making adjustments as needed. I don't even have back pain anymore.

They've even cultivated such a closeness among clients that I've enjoyed talking with others before or after workouts in their community space. Highly recommend if you're looking for a personal trainer that Alex or anyone on their team would be great to work with!

My favorite thing about the coaching staff is the variety in styles and personalities.

We each bring something different to the table, all while making sure at our core competencies, we are keeping our athletes safe, and welcome so that Caged becomes a place they want to be - amongst friends, with great coaches, getting stronger and healthier every day.
