The Story
Fitness that builds a stronger you.
Saul Martinez founded Polar Bear Fitness on the belief that training should go beyond workouts and weight loss. Fitness should help you become a stronger, more confident version of yourself, inside and outside the gym.
Saul's specialty is the environment: a place where people feel comfortable showing up, challenging themselves and learning to stay consistent. Through personalized coaching, accountability, humor and genuine relationships, clients build healthier habits and actually look forward to training.
The Problem It Solves
Knowing what to do is not the hard part.
In Saul's experience, the biggest challenge in fitness is not knowing what to do. It is staying consistent long enough to see results. Between work, family, relationships and everyday stress, it is easy to put yourself last.
Saul's coaching closes the gap between knowing and doing. The emphasis is accountability, consistency and taking ownership of your goals, with encouragement and fun built in so fitness stops feeling like another obligation. Explore fat loss and weight loss training and strength and conditioning at Trinity.
The Experience
Challenging, never intimidating.
Polar Bear Fitness is built around one idea: fitness and accountability can be challenging without being intimidating. Sessions combine structured exercise with humor, conversation and real relationships, so clients can work hard, laugh at themselves and encourage one another.
A signature concept is "To The Carpet Fridays," an accountability check-in that uses humor and honest conversation to help clients reflect on habits like daily steps, cardio and nutrition, and follow through on their commitments. Progress is not about being perfect. It is about learning to show up for yourself when motivation is low.
Who Saul Works With
Busy lives, real goals.
Saul's coaching especially resonates with women who want to lose body fat, build confidence and feel proud of their bodies but struggle with consistency, accountability, emotional eating or balancing fitness with a busy life. Busy professionals, mothers prioritizing their health and anyone rebuilding their confidence all start where they are.
Saul also enjoys the social side of coaching, including training couples and creating chances for clients to motivate each other. See how women's training is organized across Trinity.
Community
Nearly 400,000 people following along.
Through Polar Bear Fitness, Saul has built a social community approaching 400,000 followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, centered on fitness accountability, relatable conversations, humor and the relationships that grow through training.
That community-driven approach is central to how Saul coaches at Trinity: clients should feel like part of something, not just people paying for a workout. Sessions run on The Floor at Trinity Training Facility in Long Beach.
The Philosophy
Habits you can keep, a person you become.
Saul believes sustainable results come from effective training combined with habits you can maintain. Every client has different goals, responsibilities and starting points, so the work is built around consistent effort, accountability and routines that fit real life.
Clients are encouraged to focus on the person they are becoming as well as the physical change: building discipline, keeping promises to yourself and prioritizing your well-being. Trinity's values of Purpose, Faith and Community fit that view of the gym as a place to challenge yourself, celebrate progress and encourage each other.

Strength is the foundation everything else stacks on. Trinity's strength & conditioning trainers build athletes, professionals, and lifelong residents who want to move heavy, recover hard, and keep doing it for decades.
01
ASSESSMENT FIRST
Movement screen, training history, current lifts. Your trainer builds the program around your body — not a template they hand to every client.
02
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD THAT HOLDS UP
Programmed cycles with deloads built in. You'll see the numbers move week over week without burning out.
03
CONDITIONING THAT DOESN'T KILL YOUR LIFTS
Energy-system work paired with strength training, not against it. Capacity grows. Recovery improves. Strength stays.
04
TRAINING ON THE FLOOR
Hands-on cues, video review, real-time form correction. Every session has a trainer who's watching.
Who Saul’s clients tend to be
- Lifters chasing real PRs — not gym numbers
- Athletes whose sport demands repeatable power
- Professionals returning to the iron after years away
- Anyone tired of training without a program
