Florida Strong Fitness- St. Pete Personal Training — Local services in Saint Petersburg

I’ve been working with Jake from Florida Strong Fitness for about a year now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Jake is a fantastic trainer—he’s easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly invested in his clients’ progress.

I’ve never been much of a gym person, more into cardio and yoga, but after losing some weight, I realized I needed to build muscle. Jake made that transition seamless. From the very first consultation, he’s been attentive, supportive, and mindful. He remembers the little details, like any issues or pain points you mention, and always tailors workouts to suit your needs and preferences.

One of the standout aspects of Jake’s training is how holistic his approach is. He doesn’t just focus on workouts—he’s also on top of nutrition, which is included in his program. If you use tools like MyFitnessPal or other trackers, he helps you stay accountable and offers great recommendations to keep you on track.

Thanks to Jake, I’ve gained significant muscle mass and am in the best shape I’ve been in years. The progress is consistent, and I feel stronger and more confident every week. I’m so glad I found Jake and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to...

Jake is awesome. I do not like trainers and avoid them like the plague. Meeting Jake remotely at first and then in person at his gym in St Petersburg Florida was absolutely fundamental to my current training routine. At first he gave me some pointers remotely and directed me to a book for guidance and routines to follow. These made a huge difference and gave me the understanding and method for my growth.

The in-person instruction (a few months later) was fundamental to my current routine, sharpening the sword on technique which has made a huge difference in my gains in muscle mass and certainty that I can avoid injury in the future. Certain exercises are scary if you don’t get the right instruction from the right trainer who has that attention to detail. Jake has that detail down and can help. He discussed the routine, took videos and discussed technique. A huge help and I feel certainty in the gym. Thanks for...

I’m in my 50s and in terrible shape/strength from working very long hours in a very sedentary job. I was intimidated by gyms and trainers but I started working out with Jake a few months ago and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. This is a journey for me, a work in progress, but I already see results within a couple of months from when I started with Jake. I’m getting my strength back and I even dropped 1 clothing size already from L to M. Jake is knowledgeable, friendly, very professional and knows exactly the right exercise needed, position and movement necessary to maximize results and most importantly for me, to avoid getting hurt. Jake is a great motivator and I’m learning a lot from him. I recommend Jake to everyone, regardless of age and ultimate goals because his customized approach, knowledge and patience makes him the...
