Quick background on me - I'm a trainer of 6 years, multi-sport athlete (track, triathlon, bodybuilding, powerlifting, pole dance and more). I've had various incredible coaches, the best in their fields, so when I hit a plateau in powerlifting I began searching for a powerlifting coach. I checked out some gyms. They seemed nice. Had a lot of bells and whistles but no track record of greatness. I finally came across Mendy's gym, not realizing Mendy stood for Scot Mendleson a world champion powerlifter and creator of other world champion powerlifters. That was the key for me. Can you coach others to greatness? And he sure can! He's gentle and adpats his coaching to each individual on the team and let me tell you, we are ALL different. I've been here about 4 months and have learned sooooo much more than I even knew I needed to learn. This team is my second home and Scot is just amazing. There are no words to fully describe how he's able to bring out my greatness, make me.laugh, be stern and still offer a shoulder to cry on (literally). I am grateful I've found him and his team.

Mendy is the best trainer in southern California for all types of weight lifting.
For power lifters he is bar none the very best anywhere. He will take experienced or completely inexperienced power lifters and make you a world record setting beast. If you listen, obey, and make the effort. I have seen it happen multiple times to men and women.
My son went from a doughboy to California State champion at the age of 15.

The owner/trainer is so wacked out on steroids that he doesnt know how to talk to people in a civilized manner. He hires people to do work for him then doesnt want to pay for the work so he gets all steroided out and tries to intimidate them just so he doesnt have to pay. If you want to be hooked on steroids then please go to this gym

So I've been to other gyms and they just give you a membership and they throw you to the wolfs ..... What I love about Mendy's Gym is that it's a family environment! He knows all his members by name and has personal relationships with each and every one of them....... And Scott ..... With all the accolades and championships that he has is one of the most humbled person I've met..... One experience I'd like to share is one day I got to the gym was working out and I normally work out with headphones because I listen to a certain artist , and Scott asked me what was I listening to then I told him and then he put the artist on the Bluetooth so I can hear it throughout the gym that day ........ Very good place and I love it there! Can't wait to see you guys there!

I just moved into the area and was looking for a gym that offered power lifting. My previous gym was really good but this place has really set the bar high. I walked in to inquire information and they were having a boot camp class. There were other people training but I was greeted by Scot. He was super friendly and showed me the gym and told me by to check out their lifting class that evening. I left the place and did some research on it. Apparently the guy teaching the class (Scot) is the world champion for benchpress. By this point I was super excited and intimidated. I showed up the class and to my surprise I was not the only girl there. The group consists of about 10 people. Super friendly and super helpful. I signed up on the spot for my classes. If you are into lifting and friendly staff and members this is the place for you. The gym also has great hours. I LOVE IT!

This is by far one of the most legit gyms I have ever been too. Scot and his staff are super friendly and definetly make you feel at home. They have a bunch of classes you can join and the gym has every machine you could think of. The gym also has great hours and they work around your schedule so you can get your workouts in. Highly recommended!

My home away from home!
If your looking for a serious gym in the LA area then look no further. For beginners its great and lots of knowledgable people around to help.
For advanced lifters it has all the equipment and the environment to go along with it.
Chalk friendly, deadlift jack and mono lift... Kilo plates and all the different types of barbells you could need.
Top it all of with good music... Best gym in LA hands down!!
