5 /5 Jake Primack: Seriously Strong Training (SST) is seriously the best gym ever!!
I got started with SST St. Petersburg in June 2024 and I’ve had a great experience working with strength coach Mark Torres. Thanks to Mark’s guidance and support, I’ve gained a significant amount of lean muscle while losing body fat since over the past year. The results I’ve gotten have translated into me feeling more confident in myself and healthier overall.
On my first day I met with Director of Operations / Head Trainer Andrew Cao to develop a game plan. Just like Mark Torres, Andrew is incredibly good at what he does and they are experts in the field of strength & conditioning. The same can be said for the other strength coaches, they all do a great job and are very well-qualified! Most importantly they are all good people. The gym is a very inclusive environment and I felt comfortable right away. I feel that it’s a great fit for anyone looking to get stronger or improve their overall fitness and body composition in general.
I’m grateful getting to work with Mark Torres and I know his other clients say the same. I meet with Mark every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 6-7am. Our sessions are a highlight of my week and I always feel amazing after. Outside of our sessions, Mark puts together easy-to-follow daily workouts for me to complete on my own at my gym that help me reach my fitness goals. Mark’s knowledge of exercises is unmatched.
Additionally, at the start of each month we do a monthly check in where I take an InBody test and we discuss my progress and both short-term and long-term goals. This is something that really sets SST apart from other gyms that offer personal training. Mark keeps me accountable in maintaining a healthy diet and monitoring my macros, which I really appreciate. I work in pro baseball and have a very busy schedule. Mark has helped me tremendously in making the most out of my free time to get my workouts in and having a healthy lifestyle.
I highly recommend Seriously Strong Training (SST) to anyone. It’s truly been life changing for me. Big thanks to Mark, Andrew, and the entire team for all that they do to better the lives of their clients!!
