Rep Max is a great gym for both those experienced weightlifters and folks who have never picked up a barbell. The coaches are super passionate and knowledgeable, and the community is so welcoming! I would recommend this gym to anyone, but especially if you want to learn weightlifting and/or strength training or are an experienced athlete looking for a new home!

Great weightlifting gym in Orange. The owner Adam is friendly and super helpful. The other staff are really cool and nice. I usually train during open gym hours so there aren't much people there. The only 'con' I have is the parking, the gym is hidden on a industrious road and parking can be hard to find sometimes. Other than that, good place to get weightlifting training in.

I couldn’t recommend this gym enough! From the first time I dropped in until now becoming a member, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here. All the coaches are so friendly, supportive, and welcoming. The environment and community is great for all levels of athletes, and everyone there is so nice!

Joining Rep Max just under 2 years ago was probably the best thing I could have done for myself not only as a weightlifter, but as a person as well. I owe a lot of my success in this sport and growth as a person to the coaching staff and community of this gym and I have quite a bit to say about that.I've been in a part of many training facilities throughout my time doing strength training and now Olympic Weightlifting and what I look for most is the environment of the training facility and I believe Rep Max has an amazing community that feels like a family, should you decide to be more active in it and even if that's not your thing, everyone - from the athletes in the weightlifting team, to the powerlifters or to the general strength enthusiasts - is supportive and encouraging to each other. When the gym is full and everyone is having a good time working hard to achieve their goals, there's no better feeling.The coaches, to me, are the highlight of Rep Max. Before officially joining last year, I've known Adam, Jeff and Jerry for some time and they've always wanted me to be a part of the team and they're enthusiasm and support have persisted to this day. They're incredibly detail oriented, very clear on instructions and very patient when it comes to dealing with athletes at a variety of experience levels. I've seen them work with beginners and have made learning weightlifting engaging with coaching that is simple enough for beginners to understand but effective enough to produce immediate results. Then, when it comes to higher level athletes they apply more analysis and attention to the program to ensure long and sustainable progress. The newer coaches - Demetrius and Alexa - are doing an amazing job of stepping up and bringing in new energy to the training facility. Adam, Ashley and Alexa also provide really effective Nutrition programming that can be tailored to your needs and goals!I do want to point out a few things about Rep Max that should be known before signing up. Rep Max has gotten a lot of new members this past year alone and while the 8 platforms they have to do olympic weightlifting on are typically enough to accommodate a good amount of people, lately there's been times where even on weekdays the wait for an open platform gets pretty noticeable. There's also a separate area with standard iron plates, power bars, benches, deadlift platforms and squat cages for anyone doing either powerlifting or more general training. These Iron plates aren't calibrated Kilo plates like you'd see in sanctioned powerlifting meets however and the benches are unadjustable and the squat cages, while more than enough for general use, don't have the adjustability as the squat racks you'd find in dedicated powerlifting gyms/meets. One last thing I want to highlight, the owners are CSUF alumni and have integrated a way for CSUF students looking to get into Olympic weightlifting at a heavily discounted cost to make it easy and accessible for college students. You get full access to the gym and comprehensive programming. I know it's a long review, but I wanted to make sure I covered everything I can without dragging out the review into an essay. Rep Max is simply an amazing place to start your fitness and weightlifting journey with all the support and hospitality of an unmatched gym family!

If you're looking for a good lifting session and don't want to worry about pull-ups, rope climbs, or box jumps, this is the place to be. The coaching staff are lifters. They break down each movement and encourage form over kilos. You don't have to worry about making a specific scheduled class, the platforms are open as early as 5am. They will even customize your program. Take a chance on some really cool people and get a good pump session.

I started weightlifting a few months ago here and I have not been disappointed! I signed up for a few weeks initially and just committed to a full year. The trainers are awesome and know what they're doing. Jerry, Demetrius, and Adam are the trainers I see the most of when I'm able to go and all are encouraging and very knowledgeable. The community here is fun and I always feel welcomed by everyone. Definitely give this place a try if you're new to fitness, looking to start working out again, or begin something new like weightlifting.

Come here not just to train, but for financial and investing discussion!Adam and Jeff run a tight ship here. Good amount of room to perform the routine of your choice with good safety precautions. A business that is well worth supporting. Not only good for olympic weightlifters and powerlifters, but also just good for general strength training.

I've been wanting to do olympic weightlifting for years. I've tried it at crossfit classes and sucked at it. After gyms started reopening, I found this hidden gem after searching on yelp. Luckily, I was just in time for the weightlifting fundamentals class which I highly recommend. Coach Jared was awesome. He's patient and showed great expertise. Not only did he get me comfortable with the lifts, he was able to diagnose various aches and pains that I had from other activities like basketball and was able to suggest remedies. I enjoyed the classes so much, I continue to be a member after the course was finished. The other members here are extremely friendly as well. Highly recommend checking this place out for olympic weightlifting or general strength training.

I have been going to Rep Max Performance for almost 2 years now and have had nothing but a positive experience lifting here. The coaches are awesome, extremely knowledgeable and caring. They do a great job at listening to your goals and implementing them into our training program. They have all the equipment I could ever need, and then some, and everything is kept clean. Not only are the coaches awesome but so are the members!! I love this gym!
