Fantastic experience. A+ all around from the cleanliness of the facility, quality of equipment, and friendliness and competence of staff. Coach John fixed three of my lifts in an hour. Cannot recommend enough. Starting Strength is THE standard.

There is no better better setup for getting strong and improving your life, whether 18 or 80. And there are absolutely no better educated, better skilled coaches than the Starting Strength coaches. I don't even know how they see what they see when the coach human movement, but they're amazing.

Every coach I’ve had at Starting Strength has been outstanding. They know how to tailor the program to each individual, whether you’re a 65 year old guy like myself, or a 40 year old mom, or a 20 old athlete.

I started this program to nurse a shoulder injury. I didn’t think it would work. Boy was I wrong. The pain from the injury was gone after a couple weeks so now I’m a big fan of the program (what can I say, it’s fun) and I decided to keep doing it to see what kinda progress I get after a couple of months. Halfway there and already seeing huge gains.

I just got a body composition exam. In 2.5 years, I've lost 39lbs of fat and gained 19lbs of muscle. My diet is awful. The only thing that's changed in that time is that I go to Starting Strength three times a week and work the program they give me. Even if I didn't enjoy being stronger, I'd keep going just for that.

I can't say enough about my 6+ months as a member of SS-Houston. I never learned how to lift properly and would get stuck and frustrated when trying to make progress on my own. Every goal, issue, and ache I've brought up were listened to by the highly knowledgeable coaches. The program is truly for everyone. Come in and get stronger. Oh and you'll have fun too.

Great place to begin or continue strength training--especially for women! Very welcoming and supportive; big muscles but not a big gym mentality. No mirrors, so no showing off. Everyone has a personal, tailored program and guidance with every lift. Great mix of ages, genders, and walks of life. Definitely worth a try if you're interested in strength training but either don't feel ready to go it alone, or simply don't want to.

I derive half the value from the actual workouts, the other half from a great culture and atmosphere. Coaches are subject matter experts and a pleasure to work with. Training is tailored to individual motivations and quickly adapt to any of life's circumstances that arise. If you're in to lifting or simply want to get strong this is the place to be.

I love all of the coaches at Starting Strength & JD too! John & Tony are my regular coaches & I absolutely love those guys, but I’ve also had Josh, Matt & Dan & they’re great too. They write your plan out specifically for you & give feedback each set. I highly recommend SS to anyone.

I honestly wasn't sure I was going to like this place when I first started. I've lifted weights off and on for years, generally enjoying it, but never committing to it as a major part of my life. This was going to be hard core (in my mind), and my history of lower back issues made me nervous to try. But at the end of the day, I decided to say screw it and just go for it. I'm so glad I did. It's a great community, with great coaches, with students spanning all ages and experience levels. This is not a bro/meathead gym experience. This is tailored training designed to make you stronger, physically and mentally. And it's also just a lot of fun. No regrets.

Starting Strength is an amazing program. Its gets you strong efficiently, effectively, and with no added nonsense. The coaches are very knowledgeable, and will help you with the proper form, and programming. I had back pain, neck pain, and foot pain from my military service, and the program relieved it all. The only time the pain comes back is when I stop the program.
