We asked Natan about his experience with us, and here’s what he had to say:

Why do you love SSP?
SSP has helped me make fitness a consistent part of my life. The coaches and community are incredibly supportive, and it’s a place I genuinely enjoy coming to.

What keeps you coming to SSP?
The accountability, the people, and the structured workouts. I can show up, put in the work, and know I’m getting a great workout every time.

What makes SSP different from other gyms?
The coaching and community. It feels much more personal than a typical gym, and everyone is invested in helping each other succeed.

Progress/results you’ve seen since coming to SSP?
I’ve become stronger, more consistent with exercise, and I’ve noticed improvements in my overall fitness, energy levels, and daily routine.

How has SSP helped you mentally?
It has been a huge stress reliever. The workouts help clear my mind, improve my mood, and give me a positive outlet that carries over into the rest of my day. SSP has helped me stay consistent, get stronger, and make fitness a regular part of my life. The coaches and community make it easy to keep showing up!

We love hearing that what you do in the gym has an effect on the rest of your day ☀️ Thank you for being part of our community, Natan!

Our favorite thing is hearing our members stories through Google Reviews🥹🫶🏻

There’s a few things we do differently at SSP😉

But they’re all for the same mission: to bring inclusive and safe strength training to as many people as possible!

Every one of these decisions was made with intention and to make sure that all feel welcome in our gyms!

MAY MEMBER APPRECIATION: Penny L

Penny lights up the gym every time she comes in 🌟🌟🌟 Her hard work and dedication in both semiprivate personal training and group strength classes have resulted in major progress in the gym and out!

We asked Penny about her experience at SSP so far and her answer warmed our hearts 🥹

“Walking into SSP ‘everyone knows your name’ - a reference that dates me for sure! If you did not grow up watching Cheers in the 80’s I am sure you can find it streaming somewhere. Although walking into SSP is definitely not walking into the famous bar in Boston, it is similar in the sense of community. The coaches always greet you as if they were waiting for you and I love that!

I appreciate the value they see in each person’s goals and their ability to meet each of us where we are on our fitness journey. I don’t believe many places are able to successfully embrace and support such a varied group both in age as well as ability levels. I leave every session feeling successful even though I didn’t lift the heaviest or complete the most reps. I always feel recognized for the progress I am making on a personal level.

I’m lucky that my husband found SSP and over many months encouraged me to give it a try. He kept telling me he really thought I would enjoy the people and do well in the program. And he is really happy that I freely admit he was right! We were on a hike recently and both recognized that I am more confident navigating uneven terrain. I have better balance and can more easily climb over rocks and logs without needing his support. My time at SSP has already resulted in an increased enjoyment in being more active in my everyday life and this fuels my determination to continue on this fitness journey.”

🍻Cheers to you, Penny! We’re so grateful to have you as a part of our community!

P.S. Huge shoutout to Mike for introducing us to his lovely wife ❤️

APRIL MEMBER APPRECIATION: Gio G!💪🏼

There’s nothing like a friendly and engaged member with a fantastic sense of humor. And we’re so lucky to have found that in Gio!

Gio has been a member at SSP West Seattle for almost 2 years and consistently attends semiprivate personal training and group strength classes. He also consistently attends our community events! From movie night, to happy hours, to roller skating! 🛼

When we asked him about how he feels about SSP he said”At SSP, I get a continuously updated program personalized to my abilities and goals, and every coach there has been super helpful in guiding me through it. And it’s working. For the first time in a very long time, I can play sports and not regret it the next day!”

Gio is reaping the benefit of consistent strength training. We love hearing that we get to keep people active outside of the gym too!

Thank you for being such a fantastic part of our community, Gio! Keep crushing it!! ⚽⚽⚽
