Men of Sbs

“As a former MLB player, I've been around many trainers, but none compare to the quality of SBS and Hunter's training.”

“The culture that is created in the barn is only going to push you to be the best version of you.”

Daniel Barone, Hollister, CA

“Joining SBS completely changed the way I look at exercise. I had been to many different types of gyms and tried countless programs but nothing gave me the results I was after, until SBS. Coach Hunter not only put me on a great high intensity strength program, he also helped me get my nutrition dialed in.”  

“Within a few months I had gone from 18% body fat down to 12% and made significant strength gains. At 29 years old, I’m the fastest and strongest I’ve ever been and had my best rugby season ever because of the changes I made with Hunter’s guidance.”

“The time I spent at THE BARN transformed me both physically and mentally. Without Hunter and the other guys who shared that barn with me during those challenging times in my life, I don't know how I would have coped with the loss of my mother or the grueling production demands of a seven-day production schedule, for 365 days straight.”

“So, if you're seeking an authentic place to train, look no further than San Benito Strength, and reach out to a man I'm fortunate to call a friend, Hunter Cuneo.”
