Excellent gym and very friendly owner/staff. I went here as a drop-in visitor - just needed to get my lifts in while I was visiting the area for the morning without the nonsense of a globogym. I would unquestionably become a member if this gym were by my home area! I made sure to get some of their awesome shirts.

This facility is now called West Coast Elite and is owned by Wes Cravy.where do i even start. This gym/space has been named many things over the last few years. to name a few: Zastc, East County Barbell, and now WCE. I've been coming since 9/2018 off and on and the community is unparalleled. I am so happy and comfortable here even though the outside looks intimidating. there's so much to offer here and all of them are amazing: personal and sports training, (MLB stars have trained here as of late). Olympic weightlifting, group classes that mirror CrossFit but none of the silly stuff that will hurt you, power lifting, and open gym. Take your pick.I personally do the group classes (0530, 0700, 0900, 4PM, 6PM). Coach Mel programs with a purpose and supports us with heavy barbell workouts to get us strong and thoughtful conditioning that will challenge us but not kill us.I have tried other "CrossFit" gyms and the community elsewhere feels too closed off and uninviting. kiddos are welcome to join in on group classes and the coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. I am proud to be a WCE member. I know I'm welcomed and i get in an awesome workout. click the website to claim a free week. its so fun, come join us!IG handles as follows:owner: @ West_coast_weightlifting , @ West_coast_Elite@ West_coast_powerlifting

This gym double charged me for my daughters membership October of 2019, for 6 months, and they still have not paid me back and it is Aug 2020. They have blamed me for not noticing, blamed quarantine, all while having the money for upgrades to the gym, and posting about all the gym activity, but have not paid me back the 700.00 dollars they took from me. I am a single mom and a veteran. I am embarrassed for this gym. Check your bank statements and don't expect a refund if they mess up and double charge you.

East County Barbell is awesome. I highly recommend it. I’ve been a member since February 2018 and I love everything about it. The classes keep me coming back. The community is amazing in all aspects. It’s a fun and healthy environment to workout 🏋🏻♀️ in. The coaches are great, very motivated and extremely helpful. The gym itself is clean and organized. Also, it has a kids area for those with children. East County Barbell is my gym and I absolutely love it here.

Zastc is a wonderful place if you actually want to work out and not sit around at a regular gym, and get no results. The classes are challenging but really fun! I love the atmosphere of the gym, the members are super welcoming as well as the coaches, who always try for you to reach your fullest potential. I had no idea how far I could go until I started coming here. I love it!
