I have health issues I'm trying to manage. So 3 months ago I decided to take a step and do something about my health. I've never been a very active person, didn't play sports, and did what I could to avoid PE in high school. Starting out was rough since I never knew my body could hurt like that, not on them I'm just undertrained. It gets better over time and I've found that consistency and accountability are my best ways to work out. The trainers/owners are very helpful, they're good at listening to what your needs are and make changes accordingly. Since starting I can say after 3 months I've lost nearly 15lbs and have noticed changes in my workouts and day to day activities. I'm doing things I never thought was possible for me and the biggest surprise is how much I actually enjoy this! Update! It’s been a year and 3 months and I’ve seen so much progress. It’s not about how much I can lift but about my body handling things better. I’m still amazed on what I can do that was a struggle before. Update 11/2024 I've stuck with it for 2 years now and there's no looking back. The continuous support from the coaches, staff, and community has kept me motivated! There's always new challenges and was to push myself to be a better version of me. Less

I’m into my third month at Watchdog Strength and have grown to appreciate all that the coaches do! First is creating an safe & welcoming environment.

I’m into my third month at Watchdog Strength and have grown to appreciate all that the coaches do! First is creating an safe & welcoming environment. Second is encouraging you to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Third is personal attentiveness in a small group setting. My experience with the ladies I’ve met has been great! I’m in my 60’s, so maintaining strength is very important for aging well. Thank you Sal, Juan, Christy & Natalia! 🏋🏽‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🏋🏽‍♂️ ***9 month update*** Going strong beyond my expectations. My “girl self” hates to perspire. But the gym fans feel so good cooling down my sweaty face after a workout! Less

It has been hard work but I am trying my hardest to get better at building muscle. It helps that the coaches have been patient, supportive and helpful with me.

This I utterly understand ( Lol, I don’t like it ) but I understand it and I appreciate it because I know it’s working!! Less

I've been with Watchdog for about 8 months and seen such growth in my skills and my capabilities. I was a true beginner when I started, and it has been so fun and rewarding growing my confidence and sharing inspiration with fellow members. It feels like a family with great coaches!

Depending on your fitness goal, I consider Watchdog Strength best gym for many reasons. Love that it is not big so I don’t feel lost with the large number of people attending.

Depending on your fitness goal, I consider Watchdog Strength best gym for many reasons. Love that it is not big so I don’t feel lost with the large number of people attending. Everyone is friendly and supporting of my challenges and cheers on my triumphs. Coaches really care and address me by name and work with me on how I feel each day. This helps to do what is best for the workout for the day! They push me and I realize hey, I did it. Other times, it’s - not ready for that yet. They know when to accommodate. Seen some results, it takes time so looking forward to my goals for the coming year. It is hard to find a gym that concentrates solely on training solely on weight training. They demonstrate the right form, right weight and have different ways to do so for those that do not take to simple instruction. Trainers are always open to feedback and do listen. You have their full support. Along the way have started to build new friendships and have fun attending, not so much fun doing the workout. Less

This has been the most positive experience I have had at a gym. I struggled going to the gym/ joining gyms due to some internal battles, and now that couldn’t be further from the truth. I feel like my progress is genuine and I’m proud. I understand why everyone says it’s a “lifestyle change”. It’s been really nice to know that this is me and I am strong in more ways than I previously thought.

Look...I have been to other gyms, and worked with other coaches but Watchdog Strength is the best gym in San Antonio.

Let me tell you why, because the coaches are like muscle whisperers, The X-men of fitness, . If you want a wimpy workout then don't bring your llama here...its a drama free zone. The coaches know just how to push and challenge you so that you are real life strong. Maybe you need to build some guns to lift your kid in the air....Watchdog Strength gots you. Maybe you need to build some tree trunk legs so you can squat down and get the the pot way at the back of the cabinet so you can make granny some caldo...yes chef...they got you. Maybe you want to just not be a jelly donut of a dad, and instead want to be a super dad running and jumping playing with your kids dunking baskets instead of dunking donuts....pack your bag your gettin' on the train to gains-town. They help you learn what your doing and why you're doing it. They meet you where you're at and help reach and surpass your goals. They help you become better than you were yesterday building your confidence. Along the way your gym mates become your cheer squad, and the coaches help you win the bowl game of life. So why are they the best gym in San Antonio...because they are knowledgeable, and help you get steady progress. I give them a 10/10 because they have not only helped me be more fit, but my beautiful wife as well. They're helping us influence our kiddos as well. I recommend them everyday to everyone. I don't just want be strong I want to be Watchdog Strong! Less

I’ve been attending this gym now for a little over a month. I’ve really enjoyed every session and how easy going everyone is. The coaches are able to progress and make modifications as needed with a diverse group of people. The fact that there’s 4 people training max per coach means you get a lot of support as well!

Love this gym!! All the Coaches are super smart, helpful, and work with each person in a small group setting so you get personalized high level training for where you are in your journey. Highly recommend without hesitation 💯 best gym in San Antonio 💪🏼

After being a member for two months, I've earned a spot to review this gym. The coaches have expedited my progress in just two months. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring that I’m using proper form and constantly progressing each and every session. The strength training programs are well-structured, challenging, and adaptable to any fitness level even if you nursing an injury. On that note, after sustaining a serious injury, I was concerned about getting back into training, but the Coach Sal, Christy, and Juan aka Coach Pulga, made the necessary accommodations to ensure my recovery was smooth and safe. They customized my workouts and guided me through every step, helping me regain strength without aggravating my injury. The coaches here are more than just coaches—they are mentors and motivators, genuinely invested in your overall well-being and success. The small group training sessions provide personalized attention while still offering the motivation of a group setting. The one-on-one coaching is exceptional, and the custom nutrition plans have been key in supporting my recovery and progress. The community is amazing—everyone is motivated and supportive, which creates a positive and encouraging environment. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. If you're serious about getting stronger and staying injury-free, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! Less

Best Gym in San Antonio by far! Coach Sal and his trainers will help get you the results you are seeking!

If you’re looking for that extra push, support or accountability- let me tell you!! Watchdog Strength!!! Best gym in San Antonio!!! I drive 45 mins one way just to come here. You can tell the coaches actually care about each individual as soon as they walk in the door. Dont bother looking anywhere else. 💪

On the way back, I stopped to check it out .And it turned out to be one of the best things I have conformed to my health .Watchdog Strength Gym is the Best Gym Ever.

The place is phenomenal. Great staff, quality service. They are out here giving back to the community.

Recently, I started a fitness journey like everyone else as part of a New Year's resolution. It was overwhelming at first, as a fitness novice it is hard to navigate on your own.

Recently, I started a fitness journey like everyone else as part of a New Year's resolution. It was overwhelming at first, as a fitness novice it is hard to navigate on your own. I tried so many different apps and gym classes, but still felt lost without any personal attention. I could never figure out if my form was right, or if I was even targeting the areas I wanted to work on. This continued until I found the trainers at Watchdog strength. It was exactly what I had been searching for, personal attention with small group trainings, and a family like atmosphere. I could really tell that everyone was invested in the success of the individuals in the group. In my time there I could really tell that my performance significantly improved. I'm down 10lbs, with their nutrition advice and my PR's went up in all areas especially with my RDL and Sumo squats. The areas I really wanted to work on, that Sal remembered from our initial meeting. It is honestly the best gym I've ever been to. They've made me want to continue my journey, and keep striving to better myself to reach my goals. I am forever grateful! Less

Mi lugar preferido de toda la vida para ejercitarse y ver realmente resultados, los coaches son muy disciplinados, divertidos, además de que te cuidan demasiado cuando haces pesas para evitar que te lastimes, los team training me encantan!!! Sin duda alguna no cambiaría de gym… tienen coach que habla español.

Best gym in San Antonio, bar none. The team here is top notch. Highly knowledgeable and all are excellent at adapting the coaching to the client's needs. I wouldn't recommend any other place.

Watchdog is a health focused gym for everyone, all ages and body types, that truly cares about your wellbeing and progress.

WDS is a great place to truly understand that there's a hidden yearning wanting to be freed from its slumber. Everyone has a spark to find their true selves, and the coaches there are going to drill it in you to keep pushing. Discipline, consistency, community, and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement—these are the cornerstones of WDS. Every drop of sweat, every strained muscle, every shared victory, they all weave together into a tapestry of transformation. Here, you're not just lifting weights; you're lifting the burdens that hold you back. WDS ignites the fire within, a fire that burns away complacency and fuels the relentless pursuit of greatness. As I take my final steps, I carry with me not just a stronger body, but a resilient spirit and a heart filled with gratitude. To the coaches, Sal, Cristy, and Natalia who have drilled perseverance into my very being, thank you. 🏋🏻‍♀️✨ Less

Coach Sal was very knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. Thanks Sal!

I’m gaining overall strength every time I show up at Watchdog Strength - both physical and mental. It’s San Antonio’s best gym to me. It’s small and personalized care for each of its members. The trainers are all top notch and so encouraging. Just go -get fit!

Best experience and moment in my life. Sad to have left the city and now I can’t find a gym like it. Truly miss it and hands down had been the best gyms I’ve ever been to. Sal and Christy are one of a kind. Thank you for the great memories and impact you guys had in my life. Hope to be back one day (fingers crossed )

I recently had the pleasure of working out in watchdog strength gym and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their knowledge and expertise in fitness is unmatched in sa area and they were able to create and customize a workout plan that perfectly suited my need and goals

Feeling stronger. The exercises are worth the time and money invested. If you want to change your body and mindset, this is a great place to go.

The coaches at Watchdog are fantastic. The small training classes are perfect for those who need guidance but may not want to spend the personal trainer $$$. They push you and help you reach your goal no matter what that maybe. I would recommend over and over again.

During the initial consultation, Coach Sal kept it extremely real with me. I love that they care about getting a return on your investment type deal by sending you reminders on upcoming workouts, and providing you nutritional plans and recipes. Day 1 was today early morning and I went very well!

Gym has a great atmosphere and is welcoming. Sal & crew are awesome to work with. Highly recommend this place.

Just a few days ago I joined this group and I feel very comfortable with all the coaches, they are very professional. Thank you so much.

All the coaches are knowledgeable and really help you do the exercises correctly. Cristy and Sal are definitely life changers. I’ll be a member for life. Thank you to all the trainers at Watchdog Strength!

I’ve been weight training/bodybuilding for a little over 18yrs now, so going to the gym for me is just part of my everyday routine. Sometimes it’s my favorite part of the day and sometimes it can feel like a daily chore you don’t want to do, but have to. Lately it had been feeling like the latter. This year I signed up for Watchdog’s Strength’s 12 Week Men’s Challenge program and truly an enjoyable challenge it has been. Prior to starting the challenge I felt uninspired and aimless with no real personal gym goals in mind other than to maintain/keep going. I would go to gym and do what I know and simply get my training/exercise session out of the way for the day. Coach Sal’s program definitely has given me daily gym goals to hit, as well as long term goals to aim for and expect. It is nice going into the gym with a program already made and per my logs tailored to me/for me to pull up on Watchdog’s training app and get right to it. I don’t have to think about what I worked on the other days and what I have to train today. It’s all there in the app/program to review and log super easy. The 12 Week Challenge has had me learn and try new exercises I hadn’t done prior, so that has been very fun and exciting to switch things up. It’s good to feel sore again and I’m very happy to have purpose and inspiration in the gym again. I’ve been enjoying the big pumps and looking forward to insane gains. Thanks Coach Sal and Watchdog Strength. Less

Great strength training facility in a positive workout environment. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Sal is the best!

I’m nearing the end of my first month at Watchdog Strength Gym for Muscles, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I do the small group classes and they’re perfect: you get a lot of individualized training and correction, and the group dynamics are always welcoming and supportive. If you’re interested in improving your strength, check this place out.

Excellent experience every time I go. Love this gym. Not only do they provide instruction but also great eating habits.

I love this gym so much. The owners genuinely care about their members, and I never fail to leave in a better mood than when I entered

**10 Month Update** WOW. I love this gym so much. It just keeps getting better and better.

Amazing and very organized. This gym makes working out fun and focused. They are there with you throughout the whole journey. They help keep me motivated. This gym is goals. If you want to find a gym to work out at and want inspirational people to help you out this gym is the gym for you. This is absolutely the best gym in San Antonio.

I’ve been a part of gyms and have done cross fit. However I’ve never worked with someone so dedicated to push you to your best! It was very intimidating at first but the support you get from coach Sal and the others in the group is beyond anything I could have imagined!

My husband gifted me a one month personal training with Sal! Let me tell you, I love watchdog strength. I finished up my one month and will be staying for a few more. My goal was to grow my glutes and within a month and a half, I’ve already seen such a major difference!

I joined Watchdog Fitness because I was interested in learning how to lift heavy weights. Such an undertaking can feel intimidating, but Sal and Cristy are both so positive and welcoming, they made me feel comfortable and capable right away. At Watchdog Fitness, they provide small group and team training, meaning you get the best of both worlds: individual instruction as well as the camaraderie of working out with others (and it’s a great little community of friendly folks). This is not a big chain type of gym, so you’re not just a number; you get personal attention, people know each other’s names and cheer each other on, and your coaches actually care about you and your progress. Sal and Cristy are knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Having coaches who know what they are doing and who provide feedback along the way takes the guess work out of exercise, so I can just show up and work out. It’s easy to schedule training sessions and the gym itself is clean and well equipped. At present, I’m doing a 50 day challenge where I get to work out 5 days a week as well as receive nutrition guidance/meal planning. Three weeks in and I’m already feeling stronger and leaner. If you’re considering joining Watchdog, don’t hesitate, just do it! I bet you’ll be glad you did. Less

This is my first time stepping foot into a gym, let alone weight train. Both Cristy and Sal are very knowledgeable at their trade. I look forward to my lifting sessions and continue to surprise myself!!!

Knowledgeable staff who really care about you and your progress!

I am new here and I have to say that coming here has made me see that I am a lot stronger than I thought. The coaches push you, but they also pay attention to your physical limitations, if you have any, and give you a great workout. They kick my butt every time I show up, but I feel better after.

I started with Sal & Cristy a few weeks ago. My wife also attends with me. Sal brings the power of coaching when it comes to strength training. The groups are small, very personal, and one-on-one. Sal, as well as Juan, will push you to try new things. Sal uses an experienced and data-driven approach. The app is easy to use, and Sal uses the data to determine your progression path.

I started with Sal & Cristy a few weeks ago. My wife also attends with me. Sal brings the power of coaching when it comes to strength training. The groups are small, very personal, and one-on-one. Sal, as well as Juan, will push you to try new things. Sal uses an experienced and data-driven approach. The app is easy to use, and Sal uses the data to determine your progression path. For example, Sal knows I can lift higher weights but has me use lower weights because I burn out fast. The gym is well-equipped, and I always felt safe. A small refrigerator and snacks are available. On your not-weight training days, Cristy uses circuit training. You always get different programs. Sal takes a very personal approach to your success. My wife was sick for a few days, and he reached out to us. Cristy also offers nutrition services, and the tracking app has a lot of integration and reports. I understand that Sal & Cristy is a small business and doesn’t have the infrastructure of the big gyms. I see the opportunity to provide meal planning and nutrition coaching. We know weight loss begins in the kitchen. I also see a chance to take a data-driven approach to success and gamification using the app data. I know I made a process because I see it every time, I add 10 to 25 pounds to my lifts, but I know people like to see visually different ways to see their success. You don’t need 4 hours in the gym or to run for hours to be successful at the gym; you need a coach that brings out the best in you, and that is what you get with Sal. Less

We all need someone to watch out for our health. Watchdog strength is the place for that. I’ve personally seen my parents and my health dramatically increase. Also this gym is for everyone and that’s an awesome feeling because I know sometimes fitness can be intimidating. Y’all church them out!

Best decision to start my strength training here. Sal & Cristy are dedicated to their clients. Their strength & nutrition programs have helped me get to where I want to be. Also, team members are 💯

Going on 7 weeks with Watchdog strength overall great atmosphere, great coaches with awesome people, I’ve experienced weightloss, muscle gains & huge boosts of energy. Highly recommend! Thanks Watchdog

This place is amazing! Best peeps!

Update google review: As of November 2023 I am still loving this program. I’m still seeing great progress. :). It’s great to not have to think about my workout regime or what to do and just have Sal tell me. My only job is just to come here and do the workout and see the results. 10/10 still recommend

I joined on a black Friday special and I haven’t turned back. Sal is an AMAZING trainer. He motivates and continually pushes me to another level. I have never seen that in a trainer. He really cares about you!! I give him 5 out of 5.

Not all gyms gyms are created equal! Here it’s about personalized training and nutrition plans. I am beyond thankful for this place. This training regimen allowed me to process through my grief and become overall much healthier. My sleep, eating and energy are finally all sinked up making my life with a 5 year an adventure where the play never ends.

Started at the gym with Sal & Cristy back in June. Working with them consistently has not only helped me lose weight but also increase muscle mass. They also help with proper weight lifting form along with proper nutrition to help reach your personal goals. Great coaches, great establishment!

I appreciate how Sal is very precise and specific with changes in position. It makes a positive difference on the strength training.

Sal and his team are the best. Great place to workout with small groups that are essentially one on one training at a very fair price.

Perfect spot for one on one training- I’ve been so please with the coaching and style of training- Sal and Cristy are a great team😎

Working out at Watchdog Strength has really been a great experience. I was very hesitant to start lifting weights but it has been a game changer. I feel so much stronger! I recommend Watchdog Strength 100% especially because Sal personalizes each workout for all his members. I love the small gym environment because it’s not intimidating.

Heard nothing but great things!!

Going on my 3rd yr., been with Sal & Cristy since almost the beginning & they are great coaches & people who want to help you improve & become a better you.

As someone new to weight lifting, this gym has been life changing. I’ve learned how to lift in an environment that is encouraging and not intimidating. The community has been wonderful, and Sal will definitely check in on you if you miss - I’m finally going to a gym consistently!

I had never really lifted weights before, and was intimidated by the bro culture at gyms. I wanted to get stronger but didn’t know what exercises I should be doing and wanted to make sure I did them in a way I wouldn’t be hurting myself.

Sal is the smartest personal trainers I've worked with. Changes the work out based on my goals and injuries. I train Muay Thai and BJJ so if I have a bad elbow he back off the intensity or switch the workout for the day. I proceed to ignore the changes and go all out, but that's because I'm stubborn.

This is a Fantastic gym! Sal and Cristy are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you're at. They are always there to give you tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. People of all ages are welcome. If you want to make a change in your life with someone that is empathetic about your fitness goals. Watchdog strength is the place to go!

It’s been over 1yr and a half since I’ve been coming to Watchdog Strength since then I have become stronger and continue to raise the weight on the bar with the help of Coach Sal and Coach Juan. I’ve also been able to maintain my eating habits with the help of Cristy’s meal plan and workout groups for cardio. This place is a one stop shop! ❤️ plus side is all the members are cheering you on.

Watchdog Strength is a great gym. Sal and Cristy are patient and knowledgeable trainers. The gym members are supportive and motivational. I get a good workout and feel stronger.

Joining Watchdog was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I cannot thank Sal and Cristy enough for all of their encouragement and positivity they share with everyone who walks through their doors. My only regret is that I did not find Watchdog sooner.

Been going to WatchDog Strength for about 4 months and I'm so happy I've finally found a gym that I feel I comfortable working out in. Sal and Cristy are caring and professional trainers. I'm so happy I walked into WatchDog Strength.

Delicious and clean meals lead to weight loss without ever feeling like I was on a ‘diet’. 1 Year Update: I have been consistently going to Watchdog Strength for 1 year now and I have seen a drastic increase in strength and fitness levels. Sal is a great coach and really listens to his clients with what works/doesn’t work. This leads to effective training and no time wasted in the gym. Cristy is also a great resource for nutrition goals and she leads a killer HIT workout during team training. Less

Watchdog strength has been a godsend. I broke my foot many years ago and thought I was broken and couldn't hit the gym as hard as I once did. Was I wrong. I just needed to get the confidence back. Sal and Cristy will get you there! Trust the process and come in, join the family.

My wife and some of our friends decided to start going to Watchdog. After a year of them getting stronger and really enjoying it, I decided I would try it out. I told my wife I would do the 30 day trial, and see how I felt. After that first week, I swore that after the trial I was done. That was in May 2021.

Going to Watchdog has become an integral part of helping me heal, both physically and mentally. Sal and Christy are both so kind and caring and are able to cater their coaching style for each person in the class. The other gym members are all so welcoming and it's a great place to start your weight lifting journey. When I first started, I could barely lift the bar, and just the other day, I lifted a 60 lb freezer into my aunt's car like it was nothing. I competed in a strongman competition! I never thought I'd be doing things like that in my life, and here I am just doing it. And it's all because I found a great gym run by great people. Less

These trainers set unrealistic goals and training programs, leaving me frustrated and unmotivated to continue my physical training journey. Watchdog Strength delivers a safe, repetitious physical training program that teaches you the skills you need to be successful in your fitness goals. It’s not just about how much weight you can handle. The trainers are patient, encouraging, and always willing to help you reach your goals. They genuinely get to know you, so they can build and customize a realistic training program that works for you. Thank you for teaching me the joy of building my strength and overall fitness. I am happy to be a member and continue my physical training journey! Less

Sal and Cristy at Watchdog are so great to work with! They listened to my goals and met me right where I was with remote programming. I had been coming back from being sick and they took my needs and short term limitations into consideration and really encouraged me to keep going.

If your looking for a good trainer/coach I'd recommend this gym. Sal is there for you and will help you get to your goals without overloading the weight and you hurting yourself. I started my workout journey 1 month before the covid pandemic hit. Been on this journey 3yrs now I had a couple of trainers before finding Sal.

I started my workout journey 1 month before the covid pandemic hit. Been on this journey 3yrs now I had a couple of trainers before finding Sal. I have been going here 6mths now to this gym and have seen great progress in such little time. And not to mention his wife Christi has a small group training class that will get that heart rate up and a good sweat on. Less

I was looking for help in terms of counting calories correctly and building good nutritional habits. Cristy helped me a lot in setting realistic goals to hit down to how much protein I should be eating a day, healthy sleeping habits, and even motivation to keep going! Cristy also answers my questions between our checkins really quickly and that helped me a lot! It’s been two months and I’ve lost ... More

I was looking for help in terms of counting calories correctly and building good nutritional habits. Cristy helped me a lot in setting realistic goals to hit down to how much protein I should be eating a day, healthy sleeping habits, and even motivation to keep going! Cristy also answers my questions between our checkins really quickly and that helped me a lot! It’s been two months and I’ve lost 8 lbs. I am not stopping anytime soon since their coaching helps me to go long term. You won’t be disappointed using their service. They genuinely want to see you be successful and try their absolute best to see what diet would work for you. If you are looking for a team that is rooting for you and your health, look no further. 10/10!! Less

Absolutely an amazing experience and I plan to stay with this place for as long as possible. I walk in and know what my workouts are and my lifts have only gotten better and better. I started barely able to do body weight exercises and now I feel so confident going in and being able to be better than the week before :) photo for reference.

Absolutely an amazing experience and I plan to stay with this place for as long as possible. I walk in and know what my workouts are and my lifts have only gotten better and better. I started barely able to do body weight exercises and now I feel so confident going in and being able to be better than the week before :) photo for reference. Started in the beginning of of October 2021 and second pic is March of 2022. Only a five pound weight difference in between the two photos but the muscle growth has been insane Less

Where to start…. I love coming to this gym! I have learned so much from Sal and Christy! If you are thinking about joining just do it! You won’t regret it! Sal is very knowledgeable and is always there to help out!! You will get stronger and have a great time here!! 10 out of 10 will recommend!

The training /coaching here yields results!!! Covid wasted away my muscles i was soo weak ,had no stamina. From barely being able to complete workouts to now, just reached my personal best Benching 195#, squatting 200 #easy . huge improvement for a 52 year old. i started my wife on the program also. I recommend this business.

BEST GYM EVER

We both know why you're reading this review. You're looking for an excuse NOT to try this place. Well you're wrong. Sal and Cristy are some of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. This place is for the misfits and the "I could never be an athlete " people. This gym is full of people that in other gyms would be turned away because they're case is too difficult.

We both know why you're reading this review. You're looking for an excuse NOT to try this place. Well you're wrong. Sal and Cristy are some of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. This place is for the misfits and the "I could never be an athlete " people. This gym is full of people that in other gyms would be turned away because they're case is too difficult. This gym is about you. Your needs, your goals. There's no leaderboard or big class that can be really intimidating. There's you, the coach and maybe 3 other people. Your program is about you, it's specialized around your goals or injuries or whatever you need. You'll learn how to do the movements safely and consistently so that if you decide to move on to somewhere else you have a strong foundation to build from. There's no fitness models. It's just people who wanted to get stronger and take care of their body. Give the place a try. Or you can keep not going to that other gym you're paying for. Trust me we were all like that too before we started here. Less

Great gym. I have a great time each time I go.

Love the way the coaches adjust to you. Not like a regular gym where it’s the generic training/ workout for everyone.

This gym and all the coaches are top quality! The coaches really made me feel comfortable while stepping out of my comfort zone. The custom programs they created helped me attain my goals. I’ve been a member for over a year and will continue working towards my goals with this gym.

Best experience for training

Working with the team at Watchdog was great. Everything about this experience is customized for you. Start with a body composition analysis and build a plan tailored to your goals, and measure your progress as you go!

High quality, evidence-based personal training. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent, evidence-based personal training. 10/10 would recommend.

Great trainer, highly recommend.

I came in with the goal of building muscle and strength. In less than a month, I have seen a very noticeable difference, and my Inbody scans confirm the progress. Sal and Cristy are great at helping their clients set and attain reasonable goals, and at a steady pace. Sign up, you will be glad you did!

I have been going to the gym since 2012. For about 2 years, I went to the gym with my co-worker with no purpose. From about 2014 to 2020, I mostly focused on functional fitness classes. I have been coming to Watchdog Strength since May 2020 and it is by far the best decision I've ever made in my life.

I have been going to the gym since 2012. For about 2 years, I went to the gym with my co-worker with no purpose. From about 2014 to 2020, I mostly focused on functional fitness classes. I have been coming to Watchdog Strength since May 2020 and it is by far the best decision I've ever made in my life. My training finally has purpose and I feel like I've seen the most improvement than ever before. Coach Sal puts a plan together with you and works with you to make sure your goals are met. The most important factor for me is that I trust the process and the coaches that work with me. I highly recommend checking out Watchdog if you are curious about working with a personal trainer who really does care about your success. I only gave 5 stars because Google doesn't let me give 10! Thank you, WDS! Less

I've never been active as a kid or my young adult life, save for a single year in college. You can imagine at 30 my lack of athleticism and how out of control my weight and size are, for that matter. But coming back everyday has been a really great investment on myself.

I've never been active as a kid or my young adult life, save for a single year in college. You can imagine at 30 my lack of athleticism and how out of control my weight and size are, for that matter. But coming back everyday has been a really great investment on myself. Sal and Cristy are incredible motivators and have been working closely with me and my needs (Low Impact exercise and strength building exercises for my Knee Problems). With a workout plan tailored to my needs, I've been going 5 days a week, something I'd never think I could do for a gym, and recently benched 100lbs, another thing I thought impossible. The small class sizes are really great, I get some quality one-on-one time with the trainers and get to see familiar faces and motivate each other through our process. You have to check it out. It is worth every penny. Less

I am a former athlete, trained for years until I had a horrific injury that required 4 surgeries to repair. I thought I would never work out again to be honest, I had lost all motivation. Until I discovered WatchDog Strength. It’s all private/small group workouts and you get all the attention and motivation you need.

I am a former athlete, trained for years until I had a horrific injury that required 4 surgeries to repair. I thought I would never work out again to be honest, I had lost all motivation. Until I discovered WatchDog Strength. It’s all private/small group workouts and you get all the attention and motivation you need. Their main trainer Sal is awesome at changing his game to every client. I personally need more of a hype man because of my background working out. I’ve seen older people who he works out with and he totally transforms his game to better suit their needs. I’ve lost weight and body fat and traded it in for muscle, strength and confidence. Like any gym, you get what you put in. Sal and Christy will get you there no doubt if you’re willing to put in the work. It’s worth spending a little more for a gym that will change your life in so many ways. Since I’ve started working out all the pain from my foot injury is gone, I’ve personally never felt better and this is only the beginning! Thanks WatchDog Strength! Less

I'm going to start my journey here at watch dog soon I will post progress here !🖤😌
