Fifteen years ago today, Smart Strength was two clients and a side gig in a gym inside an office building on K Street.
There was no plan. Just a grad student who needed extra money and found out he was good at this.
Since then: 7,958 sessions coached. More than 120 people trained. 50 five-star reviews, and not one below five.
One of those first two clients is still training with us. Fifteen years later. That is the part we are proudest of.
None of this was built by us. It was built by people who kept showing up on cold mornings, through tough times, after bad weeks at work, when it would have been easier not to. Some of you have been here for over a decade.
Thank you. All of this is you.
If you've been thinking about starting, we've got room for you in Fairfax. Come say hello.
Here's to the next 15.
