Société Athlétique Montmartroise: Making Paris Strong Since 1898

For more than 120 years, SAM has been dedicated to strength and athletes training for excellence in strength sports.

But sport is not only about competing with other people. Everyone can gain deeper satisfaction from measurable improvement through purposeful exercise, as opposed to merely working up a sweat when we go to the gym. When we train—rather than just workout—we reach for sporting goals and focus on honing our skills.
