Socal weightlifting club is a nice little gym...the coaches are really friendly and always willing to help out with getting your technique right! I take my kids here too and they love Coach Chris! I would definitely recommend!

I haven't lifted in years but SoCal Weightlifting made me feel welcomed and comfortable. It's a well-run, organized gym with multiple coaches on the floor to help you with technique. I even took a few 1:1 sessions to get started and Spencer did an awesome job.

It's a great gym, highly recommended!

SoCal is a great environment to train in. He coaches are knowledgeable and supportive and the other lifters are very welcoming. I joined about a month ago and my form has been cleaned up dramatically. Can't recommend this gym enough!

Great staff, great facilities, great vibe. Visited for three weeks while traveling for business and they made us feel right at home.

I feel like I hit the jackpot finding SoCal Weightlifting Club. I've felt welcome from the first time I entered and have found the entire staff to be helpful and interested. The gym itself is a fantastic space with everything I could ever need. Very knowledgeable coaches and awesome community. Highly recommended!

Before I joined SoCal Weightlifting Club, I was really into CrossFit but always loved the Olympic lifts sooo much more than gymnastics and stuff. I knew I wanted to make the switch over to solely Olympic Weightlifting so it didn't take me long to find SoCal Weightlifting Club online. Once I contacted Chris and Sarah, scheduled a free training session and checked out the gym I knew I found my new home. Working with Chris and the other coaches throughout the several months I've been with them has made all the difference. This gym truly cares about its members and treats them like family. Come check out SoCal WLC and see just how awesome it is! :)

I've been working with Kody the last few weeks in preparation for a weightlifting/crossfit competition and have seen massive improvement. Great gym, Well-equipped and Kody can't be beat as far as coaching goes!

Became a member of SoCal weightlifting club about two months ago and instantly felt at home. Chris runs an amazing organizition as well as the rest of the staff and coaches. They always have something going on for their members. Bonfires. Movie days. Potlucks. It really feels like more than just a club!

I've been to a couple of different gyms, but I really like this one. Great coaches and programming. I didn't know much about Olympic weightlifting prior to joining this gym, but I am learning something new everyday! Highly recommend dropping in and trying it out. It seems intimidating at first, but the community is extremely friendly and welcoming. The staff is dedicated, and will help each individual reach their goals provided that you put in the work!

Absolutely love this place! I was finally able to find a barbell club that is as passionate about Olympic lifting as I am. From the day I stepped in the door, I felt welcome and like I am apart of the team. The incredible coaches, team and programming make this a place I am happy to call home.

So far, so good! The space is great and everyone is really welcoming and supportive of each other. Coach Kody knows what he's talking about and is extremely focused on each detail of the correct form.

I have been to quite a few gyms before finding the SoCal Weightlifting Club and never before had I felt so welcomed. The owners, Chris and Sarah, are very organized and on top of everything. They do everything they say they are going to do and actually care about the members needs/wants. :) The gym is filled with great coaches who want you to achieve your goals. Chris's programming is amazing- I've followed consistently for only 8 months adding 11kg to snatch and 10kg to clean and jerk!! Not to mention, all the members are so supportive. 10/10 recommend!!

Awesome place with knowledgeable coaching and motivated athletes. Great balance of one on one coaching as well as feeling part of a team. This gym feels like family. No better place to lift.

This is a great gym that truly values its members. The staff here care more about development of each individual than any other gym I have been to.

It's been a great experience working out with the SoCal Weightlifting Club so far! I Olympic lifted throughout college for sports but I haven't had as in-depth coaching on technique before. Chris and Kody know what they are doing and they are willing to work with me on sport specific training as I pursue volleyball. Sarah is awesome at keeping up on communication and managing the whole group. Everyone shows up happy to be in the gym and it's a fun environment to work out in. Everyone is supportive and pushes each other. If your ready to push yourself and get strong this is a place you would want to be!

Nice facility. I was there for a weightlifting competition and their set up was great, well managed and executed.

This gym is home for me. Coaches are professional,knowledgeable, and fun! My son attends their kids class, and he could not be more happy! Thank you Genie, Chris, and Topher for creating an amazing environment.

Great gym with some great coaches!

The staff and members of the gym are extremely friendly and supportive. They have a range of crossfit classes and even classes for those who just love weightlifting.

The coaches have your goals top of mind they will work with you to help you get the results you want!
