OUR MISSION
Strength Collective is San Diego County’s premier strength training facility, specializing in powerlifting, strongman, and Olympic weightlifting. Located in East County, we provide the equipment, atmosphere, and community needed to support both elite athletes and everyday lifters who are ready to push their limits and build something real.
CORE VALUES
Community
​
Strength Collective is more than a gym - it’s a tribe. From celebrating PRs to helping each other bounce back from injuries, our members show up for one another. Don’t be surprised if people say hi, introduce themselves, or cheer you on mid-set. We all want to get better and we’re doing it together.
Intensity​
We’re friendly, but we train with fire. You’ll hear encouragement, you’ll hear yelling, and you’ll see people pushing their limits. We aren’t afraid to turn the music up, chalk up, and throw down. Progress doesn’t happen by accident.
Respect
​
We train hard, but we treat people and equipment with care. Respect in our gym means re-racking weights, wiping things down, and leaving the space better than you found it. Respect also means supporting each other, whether someone’s on day one or prepping for Worlds.
Grit with Grace
​
As World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper said: “Lift heavy and be kind.” We live that. Our gym is full of strong people who also happen to be good humans. We lead with integrity, uplift each other, and make Strength Collective a place where everyone feels welcome to grow.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During Team Training hours, expect a high-energy environment full of encouragement, coaching, and intensity. During off-hours, you might find yourself with the whole gym to yourself. The same tools, same standards, just a different pace. Either way, this is your space to grow.
We're open to all levels
Whether you're brand new to lifting or preparing for a world-level competition, you belong here. Under our roof, you’ll find a mix of beginners, seasoned competitors, and everything in between, all training with purpose.
Why we exist
Strength Collective fills the gap in San Diego’s fitness scene: a 24/7 access strength gym with world-class equipment and in-person coaching at a price that makes sense. We’re the first gym in the area to bring together powerlifting, strongman, Olympic weightlifting, and general strength training, all under one roof and all built for you.
