Starting Strength has been a critical part of my renaissance as a person. The coaches guide you through a program that's personalized for you. When you run into hurdles on the platform, they lead you toward success. If you're thinking about it, do it. If you want to get started, there's no better time than now. Pick up the phone and then pick up a barbell.

This place is awesome! It’s my second week and I train in Austin but had to travel for work to San Antonio. My coach arrange for me to drop in to Starting Strength in San Antonio. Matt Herbert coached me and it was great. I’ve never lifting weights but this guys make it easy. As they always say, all I’ve got to do is show up, eat and sleep well and they will take care of the rest. Anyone, if you are thinking and wanting to be stronger, don’t wait. I hate exercise and am super unfit but I enjoy it and it’s making me so much healthier. And it’s at a price much much lower than other forms of personal training. I looked at 5,6 places before I found this one. Highly highly recommended!!

As a 54 year old woman, I must admit that I was just a little intimidated about working out in a space that looks like it's a training ground for Olympic weight lifters. Boy, was I ever wrong. From start to finish, the entire coaching staff were attentive, patient, and made sure that I felt comfortable. Any necessary modifications were made to adjust to my strength level, previous injuries, and technique. I've been going 3 times per week for the last two months and am amazed at the progress I've made in such a short amount of time. Brittany is an excellent coach and I appreciate her diligence in balancing my progress with safely reaching my strength goals!

I had the opportunity to train with Joseph at Starting Strength San Antonio yesterday. The gym is in pristine condition - the equipment is of the highest caliber and has been chosen to make heavy barbell training as streamlined and efficient as possible. Thanks to Matt, the Head Coach of the gym for running a smooth operation. Joseph’s 20+ years of experience training and his coaching insight is incredibly valuable - within one 90 minute session he tuned up my squat, press, and deadlift. He reviewed my recent training progress and selected weights that would be appropriate for me to attempt with him given my recent travel, lack of sleep, and less than optimal nutrition that comes with being the parent of a toddler on a road trip. I highly recommend Starting Strength, the San Antonio gym, as well as Joseph as a coach.

I’ve been training at Starting Strength San Antonio for about a month now. The experience has been great so far. I have enjoyed working with a coach every workout. I really appreciate being able to have sessions early in the morning to start the day and not interfere with work and other obligations. The sunrise view is superb btw! I specifically sought out a SS gym because I had read the SS books and knew they did individualized programming and coaching. The last time I was really in a groove on my weight training I had some back injuries that I am pretty sure came from incorrect form. I also jumped on the chance to train at SS because I got pretty sick with Covid this year and it really did a number on me, but it was also a good reset for me, it was a good reminder to to get serious about my health and stop putting it off. I need to get stronger and more resilient. I’ve been really happy so far with just how much better I’m feeling already after a month of training. So far working with Victoria, the Head Coach, has been fantastic! She knows her stuff and doesn’t let me get away with poor form and is helping me retrain my stubborn habits so I don’t get injured again. Victoria is present for every exercise and gives great feedback every time. After each workout we record results in a logbook/app and then plan and adjust where needed for the next workout. It makes it nice to just just come in the morning and get right to it. I really appreciate the individualized programming and support. I feel I will progress and achieve much better results. I’m really pleased so far. As for the gym itself, it’s very clean and well organized, thanks SS for indulging my OCD self. The equipment is high quality and super solid, no cheap stuff here. It’s all custom built equipment from Texas Strength Systems, Texas Power Bars and The Strength Co, all USA manufactured. The benches are insane, super super solid, they could open up a Starting Strength Barbecue joint next door cause those benches could double as a butcher block! Ha ha I also like that they have gym leaderboards and workout plans on the displays as you walk in.
