Sure, we could tell you why training at SSP is the best thing ever? But why not hear it straight from the words of our amazing members!

If you’ve been waiting to get started on your strength training journey, we’d love to meet you!

You know we LOVE us a TRX row at SSP - but there are a few small things that can take your TRX row from good to GREAT!

Quick reminders:
👉🏻 heels down toes up
👉🏻 eyes up on the anchor point
👉🏻 shoulders down away from your ears
👉🏻 pull those elbows to your side
👉🏻 keep tension on those straps!

The best part of the TRX Row is it’s so easily adjusted to your strength - walk those heels closer to the all for more challenge, or farther away to take a little intensity away!

Hope this helps! ❤️

🤯 6 years of SSP magic? Can you even believe it?🤯

We, the SSP team, are so wildly proud of what we’ve built and even more proud that every single day we aim to get better: to create better experiences for our members, to welcome new folks into the fold, to learn something new that makes us better coaches, or to reach new parts of Seattle bringing them the experience of SSP you know and love.

TO ANYONE near or far that’s been a part of this journey - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💛

We’re just getting started 😉

See you in year 7!

Come with us for a sneak peek of one of our SSP Ambassador Events 😍✨

Our ambassador program is really special and one of our favorite things we do here at SSP. It’s our way of recognizing and rewarding the members who have been all-in with SSP for years. You’ve been here through the growth, the changes, the early mornings, and everything in between this is for you.

So what do Ambassadors actually get?

Early access, exclusive experiences, and real perks around our communities! We host ambassador exclusive Happy Hours with our leadership team where we get a chance to connect, hang, and hear what’s coming next before anyone else. Other events include special pop up classes, parties, and more!

“Ok sounds SO COOL! But how do I join?”

Well, it’s an exclusive club 😉 it’s for our longest term and most consistent members - if you have questions feel free to shoot us a DM!

This program is really a special way for us to thank you: the members who have been with us through thick and thin, who’ve grown with us, celebrated us, challenged us, and the people who have SSP in their DNA now as the backbones of our community - they deserve something special don’t you think?🫶🏻

July Member Appreciation: Liz K💛

Liz’s SSP journey began back in 2010 at the old SLU location after a major shoulder surgery, when she was looking for a smart, supportive way to rebuild her strength. When Queen Anne opened in 2020, Liz brought her SSP journey with her. Since then, she’s continued to inspire us with her commitment to staying strong, healthy, and doing the things she loves.

Liz perfectly represents Core Value #3: Moving Better = Feeling Better. She is proof that strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier. It’s about staying healthy, doing the activities you love, and continuing to challenge yourself through every season of life.

Here’s what Liz had to say about her SSP journey:

“I’ve been a member of SSP since the very beginning (August 2010) when it was just one gym in South Lake Union. I first walked through the doors after a major shoulder surgery, looking for a smart, supportive way to rebuild strength and get back to all my activities. What I found was so much more than a recovery plan; I found a coaching staff and community that both made me stronger and happier.

One of my proudest moments came on my 36th birthday, when I strapped on a 36-pound kettlebell and knocked out a pull-up. That kind of milestone doesn’t happen by accident; it was the result of consistent, intelligent coaching.

Most recently, I was able to play an entire ultimate frisbee season injury-free, culminating in a gold medal at Nationals in the Grand Masters Women’s division. At an age where staying healthy on the field gets harder, SSP has been the reason I could compete at my best without setbacks and I am stronger than I have ever been. And I love it so much I got my family to join too.”

Liz, thank you for being such an important part of the SSP story over the years. Watching you continue to hit new milestones, compete at such a high level, and inspire those around you has been amazing. Here’s to many more years of getting stronger together!

Happy Friday, SSP fam! We hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather ☀️

We’re here with some trainer pro tips on the topic of Single Leg RDL’s: a staple exercise here at SSP!

We have LOTS of tools in our tool belt to help you get the correct form and the most out of your single leg RDL, and here is another great one! We’re a huge fan generally of external constraints: which just means we’re using some external thing (a band, a block, a ball, the wall, etc.) to help your body learn the right patterns for a movement!

In this one, the foam roller helps keep that stance leg nice and still and engaged, and keeps the knee from caving in! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

SSP started with a simple mission: bring accessible and inclusive strength training to the Queen Anne neighborhood where we opened our first gym. Pretty quickly .travisss and the team realized that what we were building was something very special, and we wanted as many people as possible in Seattle to experience it!

Since then we’ve opened SSP’s in:
💚 Phinney Ridge
❤️ West Seattle
🧡 Ballard
🩵 Mercer Island

And coming soon…. 💛

Just kidding, you’re gonna have to wait a little bit for that one😉 just know we’re BEYOND excited to break into a bit of a new area of Seattle for us!

EVERYONE GIVE A BIG SSP WELCOME TO COACH MADDY!!

Maddy grew up in New England, playing soccer, basketball, track, and cross country. After high school, she traded team practices for the weight room and quickly discovered that strength training was the perfect way to keep challenging herself.

In 2021, she decided to change her life by packing up and moving to Seattle without ever visiting the city - or knowing a single person. Luckily, she fell in love with everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer, from mountain views and hiking trails to Seattle’s unique neighborhoods.

Maddy is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a CFSC certification. Before becoming a full-time coach, she spent several years balancing a corporate career while coaching part-time at local gyms. Eventually, she decided to follow what she loved most: helping people get stronger, build confidence, and enjoy the process along the way.

When she’s not coaching or in the gym, you’ll probably find her hiking, cooking something new, skiing in the winter, taking long walks with her German Shepherd, or spending time with friends and family.

1. What is your favorite of SSP’s core values and why?
“My favorite SSP core value is strength training is for everyone. Fitness can feel intimidating, and I love that SSP is a place where everyone - from first-timers to experienced lifters - feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to become the strongest version of themselves.”

2. What’s your favorite exercise and why?
“My favorite exercise is the barbell deadlift, with an overhead press as a close second! Both movements make me feel incredibly strong, and there’s nothing better than seeing your hard work pay off by translating those movements to real life.”

3. A fun fact about you
“I have been skiing since I was five years old - it’s one of my favorite sports!”

We’re so thankful that Maddy took the leap to make coaching a full time career with us at SSP! Catch her in the evenings at Queen Anne!

There’s a different kind of energy, focus, and excitement that comes with knowing exactly what you’re doing in the gym and why - and you could spend forever figuring it out yourself, orrrrrr you could come check out SSP!

No more second-guessing or constantly hopping program to program. No wondering if you should be doing something else or getting distracted by the new exercise you just saw on Instagram. All you have to do is show up, do the work, communicate with your coach, and trusting the process!

That’s what personalized coaching and programming actually feels like and it’s one of the things we take most seriously at SSP. Every program is designed around YOU - your goals, your body, your injuries, your starting point

And with a cheerful and encouraging coach who’s always happy to see you and a diverse community of individuals all working to be their version of their strongest selves? How could you ever fail. 🫶🏻
