What People Are Saying
“SAPT is an awesome gym, learnt a lot through many years of lifting in this gym. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and client oriented. They design the exercise program based on the client’s goals/needs and have evaluations so that you can track your progress. For your strength and conditioning needs look no further.”

“I’ve been training with SAPT in Fairfax for two months now, and the experience has been phenomenal. From day one, the coaches have demonstrated incredible professionalism and genuine care—just like the reviews say, “the most passionate people in the strength and conditioning industry”
Their semi‑private training format strikes the perfect balance: personalized programming and expert guidance, yet still with the camaraderie of a group setting. I’m consistently challenged during sessions, and I’ve seen solid gains in strength, movement quality, and overall fitness in a surprisingly short time.
What stands out the most is their attention to detail and individualized approach. Each workout is thoughtfully designed for my goals, and the coaches are always there to correct form, offer encouragement, and adjust the plan based on how I’m progressing.
If you’re serious about getting stronger, moving better, and having great coaches alongside you, I can’t recommend SAPT highly enough. It’s hands-down the best training environment I’ve been a part of—and it shows why they’re consistently ranked top in the area.”

“SAPT and Hunter have been great to work with. They have really improved our son's performance including adding 3" to his vertical leap. I would definitely recommend them.”
— Dylan O.
“SAPT is a hidden treasure in Fairfax for private physical training. The structured and sports-specific workouts are just what our young athletes needed this Summer.”
— Andrew C.
SAPT is the best. I started my training with SAPT back in 2016 and then resumed again with my kids this year. After having trained at different places and in different types of fitness training, I found that SAPT is hands down the best in strength training, conditioning and overall fitness. It’s a great place regardless where you are in your journey - whether you are trying to get in to shape, learn proper form or you have kids who are in athletic programs and need conditioning training. The trainers are amazing, the programs are great, the environment is fun and engaging and the community is very welcoming and fun.
I would highly recommend SAPT for your fitness and conditioning journey.

“SAPT has been an excellent place for my 14-year-old son to build a strong foundation in fitness and strength training. Having the right guidance and instruction when starting out is so important, especially at a young age. My son is already benefiting from SAPT’s coaching, and I’m confident he’ll continue to build on this new fitness knowledge. I’m excited to see how his training carries forward into hockey season. A big thank you to Hunter and the entire SAPT team!”
— Matt B.
“I am a college athlete, and I started SAPT about a month ago. Hunter and the staff are very supportive and fun! The environment is great—everyone is very welcoming. Having been an athlete my whole life, I can confidently say that SAPT is a great performance facility, and the staff truly wants you to strive to be the best version of yourself!

“I’m a 54-year-old woman, and before joining this gym just over a year ago, I had never done any kind of weight training in my life. I was nervous at first—intimidated, really—but from day one, the coaches made me feel welcome, supported, and capable. Their consistent encouragement, patience, and expertise have made all the difference.
Over the past year, I’ve experienced changes I honestly didn’t think were possible at this stage in life. I’ve seen a noticeable increase in muscle mass, a decrease in visceral fat, and improvements in my blood work—including lower cholesterol levels. What’s even more surprising is that I haven’t made any major changes to my diet or lifestyle outside the gym. The results have truly come from the strength training and the support I’ve received here.
I genuinely enjoy coming in for my sessions—not just because of the progress I’ve made, but because the coaches create such a positive, motivating environment. They meet you where you are and help you get better, one step at a time.
If you’ve ever doubted whether strength training is for you, especially later in life, I can’t recommend this gym enough.”
