Fantastic experience: Tl;dr - SPS gym is THE best gym in the country with the best equipment, coaching staff, atmosphere, and most importantly, the most welcoming for anyone at any level to train. Long Story I have been doing Weight training for a couple of years now, and I got to know about SPS with my daughter, who is doing Olympic weightlifting and got introduced to the gym. Since then, I have had all the good things about this gym. Atmosphere You can see veteran Weightlifters to just started to learn about weightlifting newcomers, youth weightlifters, powerlifters, cross-training members, national record holders, Olympic medallions, and best-in-the-class coaches in this facility. I have been to many gyms in my life, and I have never gone to a more welcoming gym, both in terms of the coaching staff and the members, than SPS. This gym will make you comfortable anywhere you are on the journey, and you can be yourself. Coaching Staff The head coach Mike Jenkins (a.k.a. Big Mike) is one of the most humble and caring individuals I’ve ever met. He will go to amazing lengths to make sure you get what you want and even more. Coach Sean, Coach Bianca, Coach Jay, Coach Ray and Coach Brandon are also one of the best you can find. They will make sure to help you with anything you want and make you comfortable. Coach Brandon taught me the fundamentals of Weightlifting and to this date those concepts have been really helpful for me. Equipment SPS is an Eleiko certified training facility. Everything you see there across 12(?) platforms are all world-class barbells, plates, platforms, squat stands, jerk blocks, etc. SPS also has one of the best competition Weightlifting platforms in the country. For cross training, SPS has all Rogue and top of the line equipment. Lift Us Big Mike also started the movement to help youth get into Olympic weightlifting through the Lift Us program and had created many national champions in both girls and boys groups between the ages of 10 and 17. This program has enabled so many young kids to channel their energy and build a long-lasting life passion. My daughter has been training with Lift Us for a couple of years now, and this was a fantastic experience. Coach Bianca is amazing with the youth athletes and has helped these young kids, both girls, and boys, to qualify for the nationals and create champions. All the coaches, coach Jay, coach Sean, and coach Brandon are amazing at coaching the kids. Competitions No one, I mean no one, will do local meets better than SPS. SPS started “Right of Passage” to help first-time weightlifters showcase their skills. Right of passage introduced and built confidence for many weightlifters over the years. SPS also organizes other local meets (like the PWA championships); no one is so organized, well equipped, or well-run as how SPS does it. Overall, SPS is a fantastic facility also located in an amazing place. But, most importantly, what matters is the people and the community I interact with. And, SPS made me and my kids feel welcomed. If you are considering doing weight-training, cross-training, or even have young kids wanting to get into Weightlifting, try out SPS. Big Mike and the coaching staff will be there to help you.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!! Huge facility with top quality equipment. 16 Weightlifting platforms and 6 squat/bench stands for powerlifting. Large turf area with a big rig. Massage room in the back too. They always bump the best jams. Everyone is so cool there. I do the strength metcon clauses with Sean (metSean) they have water all the time. It’s actually so delicious. Two showers and one mega shower. And a massage room. Clean towels. They have rowers and assault bikes and sleds and boxes and weights and med balls and eleiko everything. Highly recommend this gym if you are in the area and need to drop in or if you are looking for a new home gym in the area. They also have amazing youth programs.

Fantastic experience: I'm not one to usually leave a review but for SPS, I had to. Every coach I've worked with is fantastic and they truly care about your individual workout goals and progress. And while I'm not a regular/monthly member, every time I drop in for a workout, I feel welcomed into their community. This also has to be one of the nicest gyms I've ever been to. Equipment is competition level throughout.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been to! Hence probably why I've been coming here for years. They got the best equipment. The community is pretty great! The staff are quite handsome! They got it ALL!

Fantastic experience: The best! Love what they stand for and the quality of training, and of course, especially our coach Brandon

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a place that will help you feel a part of a community whether you're a beginner or an expert competitor, this is the place. The staff have impeccable credentials and personalities to match. This is one of the most caring fitness communities I have known because the caring starts with the mission of the gym. It's fantastic seeing people of all ages and all levels getting the same attention. Kudos to everyone that makes this THE place to focus your fitness journey

Fantastic experience: While on vacation in CA, my wife and I visited this gym and had no regrets. Even though we are up there in age, the coaches made you relax by tailoring the workouts to your needs. The gym is also spacious and well equipped. Loved it….

Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal!! Started going a couple years ago and have always felt welcome and encouraged and have grown so much as an athlete. Super supportive and knowledgeable all around and Coach Sean is a total babe so ya know ;)

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a challenging workout with a fun group of people, Sean and Brandon at this gym are perfect for you. They're great at customizing your experience to match your fitness goals and current abilities, and they have a way of explaining things that makes it enjoyable to learn. Plus, the gym is beautiful and inviting. And it's awesome to see Mike and Bianca working with young athletes - they're clearly training some future champions!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better gym! Great hours and they always have coaches on site when they’re open. Membership bill comes in in the same day every month and the price never changes. They will even pause it for you if you’re going to be out of town or on vacation for an extended period of time so you’re not paying for something your not using. There’s a reason 99% of the reviews are 5 stars!!

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience at SPS. My weightlifting friends recommended the place to me and I'm glad they did. It's got all the latest equipment and the staff are amazing. Kristin is great to work with. I like tough workouts and SPS delivers on that front. I'd recommend it to anyone, whether you're a beginner or looking for a more intense workout.

Fantastic experience: I went to see a weightlifting competition at a gym in Oakland. It was a nice gym to visit.
