Personally I think it makes more sense to do the demo first, but that's not a big deal. These classes seem to be a bit more "choose your own adventure" than some other strength classes I've taken.

The trainers were all super nice and tried to introduce themselves to everybody which is quite a feat since there were probably seventy people there. They had different vendors sampling their products and after the workout had chick fil a and mimosas for everyone. The workout was really intense!

They had a dj and it was super high energy. I really enjoyed it!!

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. I was honestly nervous to be in a gym setting while pregnant but the entire SST team has been incredibly warm and welcoming that I really look forward to being there. 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!

Made Possible Personal Training is hands-down the best training experience I've had. It's truly…read morepersonalized programming, highly knowledgeable coaches, a supportive/family-like atmosphere, and real results--especially if you're looking for strength, mobility, and joint-friendly fitness (not bodybuilding). Before Made Possible, I tried personal training at a big-box gym and it was a total disappointment--generic workouts on the same machines I was already using, with someone basically just counting reps. It felt impersonal and more focused on selling sessions than actually coaching. At 66, I'm not looking bigger "guns" or a "six-pack." I wanted a personalized program from experienced, educated coaches who understand physiology and can help me get stronger, fitter, and more flexible, paying attention to joint issues and weak points. If you look at their team, many have backgrounds in applied physiology, kinesiology, graduates of National Academy of Sports Medicine with focus on Corrective Exercises, and other related specialties. You can tell they know what they're doing. The atmosphere is warm, caring, and genuinely personal--completely the opposite of the big-box gym experience. After every workout, my trainer(s) texts me the next day to check how I'm feeling. Every trainer knows me by name, people talk to each other, no one is on their headphones or staring at their phones but focusing on their programs. The programming is truly individualized. In my first two sessions, they asked about my goals, evaluated how I move and what needs attention first, then built a plan around that. You can see others doing very advanced, athletic programs, while mine is focused on fundamentals--strengthening the right muscles, improving stability, and fixing weaknesses. The emphasis (at least for me) is always on form and the smaller supporting muscles. It is not about bodybuilding but becoming more fit, more flexible and "properly" stronger. One moment that sold me: I could never do a squat, bad knees from Pickleball and old age. On day one, they had me place my feet and knees differently: push here, lower this, move that... and lo and behold, on day one I did 30 squats. That was it for me. I was hooked. That's when I realized how much proper coaching matters. Lastly, I feel like I'm getting real "value" for the money. The price is fair for the level of coaching and attention you get, and it doesn't feel like a hustle. I highly recommend Made Possible Personal Training.

My legs were screaming at me for the two days after my first session. But I felt great! More awake and energized throughout the day. Wednesday night session I attended was being led by John, who..booooyyyy, that was crucial. I didn't think I could get through that one but he kept pushing us right til the end. Good workout! The other people in the sessions have been very welcoming for the most part. I've got a ways to go still to get to where I need to be and so far, very happy with St Pete Boot Camp!

I'm used to a different indoor spin bike so it took me some time to get adjusted to these because they have a screen and the resistance wheel is different. Aside from getting situated to a new bike, I had a lot of fun! This class had a ton of choreo which isn't my personal preference, but that's typically fairly optional anyways. It was a great workout and the women at the front were friendly and helpful in getting me on the bike number I wanted, since some people were moving around their bikes. They also have earplugs to grab if you need em!

I checked out Hotworx this weekend as part of a contrast therapy session, a partnership they are…read moredoing with Arctic Bath & Coffee, located right next door in the same plaza. Basically, you get to do a heated workout in the infrared saunas at Hotworx and follow it up with a cold plunge at Arctic Bath & Coffee after. What a rush! Heated workouts aren't my favorite, as I usually get a little lightheaded, but the friendly team at Hotworx talked me through the info and let me know that I could just take a breather if the heated workout was too much. Your time in the sauna is your time, so you spend it how you need to. I tried the hot yoga, where up to three people can do yoga side by side. You have to use their Hotworx mats and towels, but they had plenty to utilize. They also had foam rollers available, which was a nice touch. The other sauna choices had things like row machines and stationary bikes, and I thought it was cool that you could do workouts like that in the saunas. I may try the rowing next time. They also have a free weights gym area in the middle of the facility, and anyone at Hotworx can use it while they are there. It's a members only studio, so the main door is locked unless you have your member access. You just book the session you want (or as many as you want) and head in to get a great workout! I highly recommend trying out the fire and ice combo they are doing with Arctic Baths next door. It's so rejuvenating to get in an awesome sweat at Hotworx and instantly cool down your body (literally) in a cold plunge right after. And the teams at both businesses couldn't be nicer.
