I've been training Strongman for 2 years now. I started at commercial gyms and still do my accessory work there as needed. But, for the most variety of implements for Strongman/Powerlifting, look no further. Deadweight isn't typical gym culture. This is where you can cut loose and really get a damn good workout in. There's always motivational music going (I always put on some sort of metal playlist) and the people there are some of the nicest I have ever met. If you're looking to get a flavor for it, you can play $15 for a rop in or $30 for the week. To become a member I believe it's around $80/month which isn't bad for what you're getting. This place is top notch when it comes to making some serious gains to your gym game.
***EDIT***
They've changed locations and are now off of Twain St. The new facility looks nice and is more open. Still needs work but they JUST reopened as of 6/10/19. It's off a side road when you turn in there so pay attention when you go there.

Best strongman/powerlifting gym in San Diego! I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to be stronger and faster or just to be healthier and feel more alive. All the programming are done by knowledgeable coaches with plenty of experience and each person will have a tailored program for them. This will be the last gym you'll ever go to, go check them out!

I'm new to strength training and got introduced to power lifting by Deadweight Strength. Quality coaching from Derek McCracken has helped me improve my technique on the compound barbell lifts and become the strongest guy on my work site. The next step is going to be trying my hand at the strongman implements during Saturday crew training.

If you are looking for a great gym, whether you live in San Diego or are visiting, this is where you need to go. There is a large variety of strongman equipment, powerlifting and specialty bars. The benches, racks, and all other equipment are top of the line and the atmosphere was great.

If you're tired of showing up at 24 hour fitness and waiting 45 minutes for your turn on a power rack, then don't waste any more time - go to Deadweight Strength. My favorite thing about this place is how it corrals my motivation by having me schedule my gym time - this ensures that there's enough equipment for the people using the gym (and cements a firm commitment to my workout! I see it as a huge benefit.)
The coaches know their stuff, and can quickly identify small adjustments that make a huge difference in the effectiveness of a lift. I never mastered front squat until I found this gym. This has renewed my enjoyment and commitment to powerlifting! I'm by no means the most experienced lifter in this gym, but I am motivated and inspired by the people I see around me here and I could envision one day wanting to compete.
Word of wisdom, though - it's the opposite of posh. This is functional, functional, functional. You might get chalk on you, but every item you might need to work a lift or accessory exercise is here, and there is no bullshit. I LOVE IT.

Awesome strongman/ powerlifting gym in the San Diego area. Great coaches and lots of strongman implements (or what I like to call toys :) You don't have to worry about getting kicked out for using chalk or bringing a gym bag because this place is for serious lifters.
