Starting at a new gym can be VERY overwhelming especially when staring a new type of workout. Zack the owner, was so generous and offered me 3 free trial sessions with Shelby to try out the program. I immediately LOVED it!! Shelby is by far one of the most motivating and sweetest coaches I’ve ever worked with. She explains movements so you understand them and is super patient. She makes sure to be available to you when you need her pretty much any time of day. Not to mention her and all of the coaches are friendly and well versed in their craft and all competitors in lifting. Everyone is so nice and always willing to help. I wish I would have started this sooner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anything from just working out to getting on track to compete. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out.

I came in with absolutely no experience and really just wanted to learn how to lift and get a little stronger along the way. I was set up with a coach and a program and have had an amazing experience ever since. Everyone is so supportive of each other and you can tell the coaches genuinely care about their clients. SoCal Powerlifting is more than just a gym, it’s a community and I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Great gym. I only benched before and wanted to do squat and deadlift for balanced strength. Only been here 3 weeks and felt making much faster progress with bench already. The program trains all the right muscles and coach offers constant support and feedback. No need to wait for bench or squat racks as the gym has plenty of them. No complaints so far except the gym music could use a lot more AC/DC:)

I've never been to a better gym in all my life. Not only are the facility and equipment kept in beautiful condition; every single person who trains here has made me feel welcome, not just the staff! As far as coaching, it literally could not be better. My coach gives me extremely detailed feedback on every question I can think of. As somebody who's completely new to powerlifting, SoCal has done nothing but give me guidance and boost my confidence.

A highly organized gym that has plenty of squat racks, deadlifting platforms, and benches. The gym is spaced out perfectly to optimize equipment usage. More than just a great location to lift, the members that come here encourage one another. The friendly atmosphere is very inviting and I look forward to coming back everyday. The gym is staffed with very knowledgeable coaches who are here to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend this gym along with coaching sessions!

Awesome place! Everything you need for any level lifter. Their coaches are super knowledgeable. I got a SBD assessment with Shelby, and she’s given me tips/coaching to improve all of my lifts. Plus she’s a fun person to be around!Added bonus: no guys have looked at me weird or bothered me for being a girl in the gym. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, staff and members alike.

I reached out to SoCal Powerlifting at the beginning of the month via Instagram to ask about operations once they were allowed to open. I spoke with Alex, we set a time to meet and he gave me a tour of the gym and all the information I needed to get started. This morning was my first time working out here and it was great. They have everything you would need and it's all very good quality equipment. It is a clean and organized gym, the best place I have ever seen. I haven't been in a gym since the start of the pandemic closed everything but it felt great to be back and in such an awesome facility.

SoCal Powerlifting is by far the best atmosphere of any gym I’ve been into. The staff and coaches are unbelievably knowledgeable and create a place where everyone wants everyone else to succeed. I’ve been looking for a gym that feels like a community for a long time and I finally found it.

If you like powerlifting you will love this gym. The coaching they offer is amazing. Alex B is my coach and he's incredibly good at communicating just right way so I can understand what to do to follow a cue. The system they have to coordinate programming is awesome. Everybody in the gym is friendly and always willing to give you a spot. It's a place where people are their because they love and enjoy it so you can count on it having a great atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it more!

I always found weightlifting to be intimidating. I was the type of girl who avoided the weights unless I was using a weight for lunges. I was definitely stepping outside my comfort zone when I signed up for SoCal Powerlifting. I signed up with my sister so that we would hold each other accountable. We signed up for the coaching program because we had no clue what we were doing. It is safe to say, We Are Hooked!This gym has an amazing staff and a great facility. Other members are friendly and will help you if you need it. Everyone is very respectful and I felt comfortable being there in no time. It is now the highlight of my day! This gym is my happy place! After a long day at work dealing with frustrating people, all your outside stresses and worries disappear as you focus on your lift. Since I am on the coaching program, I don't even need to focus or worry on what type of workout I should do... Coach Shelby programs it for me! My only regret is that I did not sign up sooner.
