Lion Heart Fitness Testimonials

It's not easy being a powerlifter. You could travel the country, looking for acceptable gyms and find out their gone. Oh there are gyms out there, but don't grunt or get to pumped up for a set. Chalk is forbidden and sweating prohibited. But if you are lucky you will find a place where you can "grow". It you are truly blesses you will find your own Lion Heart Gym. Thanks Steve.

I happened to come across a Lion Heart Gym YouTube video in June of last year and so I decided I'd visit the facility to check it out. Glad I did. Lion Heart has everything needed and then some for anyone at any fitness level to reach his or her goals.

I began training at Lionheart gym when I started work in Pinellas Park. I was looking for a way to keep fit and stay energized during the day since my time at night was very limited. As I came in daily the owner, Mr. Steve Byers, started to notice I could use some help in the weight lifting department and decided to give me some pointers. It didn't take long before my strength had increased so much Mr. Byer asked me if I would be interested in powerlfting. I laughed as I could barely lift 45 pounds. He said he 'believed that I could do whatever I put my mind to!' That was the start of my motivation. In as little as two months I trained for my first competition, an APA & WPA Raw (no special gear) drug free bench press contest.

With determination and the help of Mr. Byer, I set my goal to match the world record holder. I loved that I could continue to get physically and mentally stronger as the weeks went by. I had everything I needed to succeed right here at the Lionheart gym. When the meet finally came, I was pumped and ready to go. I not only matched the world record but topped it by ten pounds! I can't thank Lionheart Gym and the staff there enough for the encouragement and motivation they provided me along the way. What a great place to work out and feel like a champ!

I've been asked, "why do I train at Lion Heart when there are several gyms closer to my house"? My answer is simple, "I train where I get the best results, no fooling around". Lion Heart is 'old school'. It's not fancy with chrome weights and elevator music; however, there is plenty of iron to move and test the strongest gym rat. There is also Steve Byer the owner who is the most accomodating person you can meet. He also has a wide variety of supplements to help you reach your goals. I belong to the Power Team at Lion Heart. We have more American and World records than any team in the area.

If you want results from your training, pay Lion Heart a visit. Get the results you're looking for. There is much camaraderie; we are basically a family.
