West Coast Elite is a large San Diego gym offering Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strength and conditioning classes, one-on-one training, small group training, and open gym. It is the home of West Coast Weightlifting and West Coast Powerlifting, welcoming youth and adults of all ages and skill levels to reach goals in strength, weight loss, muscle growth, cardio, conditioning, or mental health. The facility is large, with space for open gym members, dedicated Olympic weightlifting lanes and equipment, powerlifting equipment, and a CrossFit area. The space is cleaned frequently and there is an in-house person for body work to keep athletes healthy and primed. The gym provides personal door codes for 24-hour access and has plenty of parking, with equipment updated frequently. Coaching is described as fantastic, with a passionate coach who takes time to find the right cue for each athlete. The environment is friendly, safe, and positive, with professional ownership and staff. The community can be loud, rowdy, and sarcastic or very channeled and "in the zone," playing good music and offering unmatched support. When someone attempts a personal record, the entire gym stops to cheer, creating unreal energy. It is a place with good people where everyone, including teenagers, feels safe. Many who visit for a drop-in session end up staying, attracted by the excellent coaching, best competition routes, and valuable support system on and off the platform.
Excellent gym and very friendly owner/staff. I went here as a drop-in visitor - just needed to get my lifts in while I was visiting the area for the morning without the nonsense of a globogym. I would unquestionably become a member if this gym were by my home area! I made sure to get some of their awesome shirts.
