ABOUT
Sarantos Fitness | Fit & Prime
We help everyday folks get lean, strong, and healthy by playing the fitness game.
Feel your best. Build your legacy. Enjoy a long & happy life.
Most people don't like fitness because they're doing it wrong.
It feels like a chore: boring, hard, takes too long, not worth the effort.
That's probably how you view fitness. And that's probably why you can't stick with it for long.
It's not your fault. Nobody taught you how to do it correctly.
That is why I created Sarantos Fitness.
Hi! I'm Paul Sarantos - a dad, sales engineer, former D1 athlete, and present-day fitness nerd.
I started Sarantos Fitness in September 2021 as a social media platform to educate, entertain, show off my physique, and promote my 1-on-1 fitness coaching services.
Through social media and coaching, Sarantos Fitness allows me to help everyday folks LIKE YOU get lean, strong, and healthy.
My goal is not just to teach you the X's and O's of fitness that get amazing results with less effort.
What is my goal?
To make fitness a game that you play because it's fun and you love how it makes you feel.
If you fall in love with playing the fitness game, then getting amazing results feels effortless.
You'll like & want to do the things that make you healthy & happy rather than seeing them as a chore you endure to reach a goal.
Best of all...
EVERYONE who plays the fitness game wins!
You only lose if you don't play.
But to play the fitness game, we need a playing field, coaches, teams, rules, competitions, prizes, and more!
That is why I created Fit & Prime.
Fit & Prime is a FREE online community hosted on the Skool app & platform.
It is where the coaches, players, and teams come to play the fitness game together so that it's effective, flexible, and fun!
Effective so you get the best possible results even in middle age with less time & energy to spare.
Flexible so it fits into your busy schedule filled with kids, work, hobbies, vacations, holidays, etc.
Fun so you fall in love with playing, get in the best shape of your life with ease, and invite others to play too!
And FREE because I want anyone and everyone to be able to play the fitness game!
Join Fit & Prime and start playing the fitness game!
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned vet, this community will help you get better results and have more fun doing it.
Everyone goes at their own pace! So don't worry if you want to start slow. You can always speed up, slow down, or take breaks as needed.
Everyone gets their own plan! It can be as basic or advanced as you need, and you can always adjust as your abilities, needs, or preferences change.
This isn't a race or a 90-day challenge! There is no finish line. Fall in love with playing the fitness game and plan to play for the rest of your life!
And we don't compete on results! Throw genetic, age, and ability advantages out the window.
In Fit & Prime we only compete to see who can follow their plan the best each week - because that's ultimately what drives success!
You'll learn everything you need to know once you join and start going through the courses.
I'll see you on the inside!!
And if you want the FASTEST POSSIBLE RESULTS, join Fit & Prime Transform!

If you join and don't like it, let me know in the first 30 days and I'll give you a refund no questions asked.
Ask for a refund after 30 days... I'll still probably give it to you, but only after we chat!
About Sarantos Fitness
Paul Sarantos grew up witnessing his grandfather and father struggle with mental and physical health challenges that caused unnecessary suffering and ultimately cost them their lives.
These smart, loving, and hard-working men built incredible families and legacies, but sadly, they didn’t get to fully enjoy them.
As Paul entered middle age, he found himself facing many of the same challenges—overeating, low energy, chronic aches and pains, depression, anxiety, and a sense of low self-esteem and helplessness.
His turning point came during the COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020. Out of work, disconnected, and feeling like he was failing as a husband and father, Paul realized it was time for change.
When gyms reopened, he made a life-changing commitment to prioritize health and happiness. That decision transformed everything.
Just one year later, Paul was in the best physical, mental, and emotional shape of his life.
In September 2021, he launched Sarantos Fitness to help everyday men and women reclaim their health and transform their lives through social media and 1:1 fitness coaching.
In March 2024, Paul expanded his coaching program, Fit & Prime, onto the Skool community platform.
This new approach enables him to empower more people by turning fitness into a shared, game-like experience—fostering community and camaraderie beyond a traditional client-coach dynamic.
You can follow Sarantos Fitness on YouTube, Instagram & TikTok.
Join the Fit & Prime Newsletter to get additional tips, tricks, and secrets that aren't shared on social media.
About Paul Sarantos
Paul Sarantos is living proof that age, work, and family responsibilities don’t have to stand in the way of being in the best shape of your life. At 40, Paul has mastered the fitness game and is passionate about helping others do the same, empowering them to achieve their health and fitness goals—no matter their starting point.
Originally from Portage, Michigan, Paul was the youngest in his family. Inspired by the high standards set by his parents, brothers, and sister in both academics and sports, he developed a relentless drive to excel.
A 2007 graduate of the University of Michigan, Paul earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering magna cum laude while excelling as a two-sport athlete. He played defensive line for the Wolverines football team and competed in shot put, discus, and hammer throw for the track & field team.
Paul began strength training at the age of 13 and, aside from a few brief breaks, has remained dedicated to the craft for over 25 years. He gained a wealth of knowledge & experience under the guidance of world-class strength coaches in high school and college. Since then, Paul's continued self-education has evolved with his training goals—from sports performance to strength, aesthetics, injury prevention, and longevity.
Emerging from the COVID-19 shutdowns with a renewed commitment to health and wellness, Paul expanded his focus beyond the weight room to master all aspects of fitness: psychology, meditation, sleep, breathing, nutrition, mobility, cardiovascular training, and more.
Paul lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife, Mercedes, and their three children. In addition to running Sarantos Fitness, he serves as the Business Development Manager at MS Automation, providing custom assembly, robotics, and automation solutions to production manufacturers.
Outside of work and fitness, Paul loves spending time & traveling with his family, and in his spare moments, he enjoys tackling home improvement projects.
