Stacey takes great care of us. This intimate gym is great for lifting steel. No treadmills, no spin classes and they have amazing, dedicated trainers. Regardless of your current fitness level, if you show up, lift, repeat, you will change your life.

This gym is outfitted perfectly for all strength training sports including plenty of strongman implements. I will definitely be going back to Clay's gym anytime I'm in the area.

I'm 44 and have been told by countless Doctors that I need new knees and hips and I should just get used to it. Then someone suggested strength training. I Google and found this gym.

Let me tell you something. ALL my pain is gone. And they are the friendliest most welcoming people I've ever met. The owner Clay treats everyone like a friend. It's like "Cheers" (it was a sitcom back in the day for you kids). Sy my coach is patient and knowledgeable and I'm the strongest I've been in 20 years.

Amazing place to get strong. SCS offers coached hours included in the price of membership, which you don't see anywhere else. More powerlifting, olympic lifting, and strongman equipment than any other place I've seen in the area. Custom programs are available every week, meaning you don't have to get bored with the same workout every time you're in the gym (AND you don't even have to think of what to do that day - just walk in, check out the board, and do the workout for that day of this week's program). Of course, you're also more than welcome to come in, put your headphones in, and bust out whatever workout you want. This place has such an amazing, inclusive community of uplifting individuals that will support you in whatever you're here to do. Cannot recommend enough.

Great selection of free weights and strong man equipment. Great, supportive members. Not a place for people who want machines or mirrors.

Clay has a ton of knowledge and expertise in the realm of strength sports, and he's someone who truly cares about his members and their well being and you can see it. Highly recommend if your in the area!

I can't give this place enough stars. I walked in one day after being out of the Crossfit and Weightlifting scene for a very long time, because I was just burnt out and was having trouble finding a gym or area that I felt I belonged in. I had left multiple other Crossfit/Strength gyms due to issues with attitudes or vibes I would get from members or coaches, but not this place. I walked in one day, was kindly greeted by Clay, and he told me to step on the platform and start lifting, and immediately, he was giving me pointers, feedback, mobility drills, and I was feeling more confident already. I signed up that day because the vibe in this place was great. Everyone was very supportive even though I was a completely new member. The coaches are TOP NOTCH in their respective field and I truly, could not be happier with the help I have received here. I have gotten so much help with my technique and strength that now I am stronger than I was at my strongest point when I was competing in Crossfit. Not only does this gym have amazing coaches and members, but there is always something going on. I am part of the barbell club, there is powerlifters, cross fitters, there are seminars all the time with big name lifters, there is a rowing club with a highly ranked rower, there are competitions, I mean, you name it, its happening. There is never a dull moment at the gym, people are happy, doing what they love doing, and sharing their passion for it with everyone that steps foot through the door. I feel like I am part of a family now, being a member there, and am so happy I found this little gem tucked away in Santa Cruz!
