Strength Lab Training — Local services in Seattle

I am 31F and started seeing Adnan for personal training in August of last year - so it’s been about 8 months now of going to him twice a week. In that eight months, I have gotten WAY stronger, leaner, and more capable. I feel better, literally all the time, then I did before. I am visibly in much better shape. I sleep better, I have more energy, my mood is better. If these are things that you would also like, and you would like to achieve them without screwing your body up from poor technique or trying to figure out how to do new exercises from TikTok and youtube videos, I cannot recommend Strength Lab Training enough.

Bonus: because Adnan has an independent set up and does not work out of a giant commercial mega-gym, you do not have to deal with other gym goers while you are getting trained. It’s perfect.

I will note specifically: I have met a few women who have had issues with (typically male) personal trainers who discouraged them from lifting heavy because they’d “get bulky” and insisted on having them just do really high reps of the same low weights in perpetuity, even after they expressed interest in learning how to lift heavy. It worried me and was part of why I looked for a trainer who was strength focused. Adnan definitely is pro lifting heavy for women! I now squat an amount I’m not sure I would have considered achievable when I started, and am only going for more. SQUATS FOREVER.

When I first started I didn’t really know what the hell I wanted to do, and Adnan was really helpful for making very well-rounded programming for me. As I’ve gotten more specific goals, he has adjusted my programming to get me there. I have learned A LOT of technique from him, smashed goals and then new goals and then more new goals, and have not gotten injured once.

Plus, honestly, just a dope dude to talk to in between sets.

I'd been thinking about getting a personal trainer for a long time and a year ago I finally took the plunge and signed up with Adnan. Now I can't imagine my life without it :)

First, having a trainer managing your program for you (not to mention spotting you, racking the weights, etc) makes all the difference in making it a stress-free and frictionless experience. All you have to do is just get in the zone and Adnan takes care of the rest.

Second, the consistency you get with a trainer means you're not constantly worrying about whether you're getting "enough" exercise--whenever you're not training, you can relax and just enjoy looking and feeling stronger (which, for me, happened surprisingly fast).

Third, Adnan's private space in a quiet neighborhood is exactly what I was looking for--none of the distractions of a gym, it's just you and him and the workout.

Fourth, Adnan has exactly the attitude you would want from a trainer--focused, knowledgeable, professional, but also a very relaxed and fun guy to be around (which is important for someone you're going to be seeing multiple times a week :)

And last but not least, his rates are very reasonable. When I look at the cost of his program over a whole year and compare that to the health benefits and peace of mind I get from it, there's no question that it's a great return on investment.

I highly recommend Adnan to anyone in the area who's thinking of getting into strength training and is just looking for a trainer they know they...

I have been a client of Adnan's for the past 12 months and have truly enjoyed all my training sessions!! During the peak of Covid, Adnan was so flexible and offered to train me in any public park of my choice in the Seattle area so we could be outdoors. Adnan now trains me in his private gym space which is perfect! We have a variety of equipment and he also ensures we do plenty of agility training for body fat weight loss through Tabata drills which are challenging but very effective! He is extremely flexible with my schedule and unexpected date/time changes. When I want to focus on a certain body area, he tailors the workouts to my preferences. I have seen a huge positive change in my body through the time I have been working out with him and will continue to do so! I highly recommend training with Adnan if you are looking for a focused, determined, passionate and highly...
