About SoCal Weightlifting

SoCal Weightlifting is a community dedicated to helping athletes pursue excellence through expert coaching, purposeful programming, and a team environment built for weightlifting.

Founded in 2014, we’ve helped athletes of all ages and experience levels learn the sport, build strength, and compete at the local, regional, national, and international levels.

Our home in Fountain Valley, California brings our athletes together in a facility built specifically for weightlifting, coaching, and community.

Your Athlete Journey

Every athlete starts somewhere. Our job is to help you understand where you are, where you want to go, and what it takes to get there.

New athletes begin by learning to lift safely, proficiently, and confidently before progressing into our team training environment. From there, your training evolves with you, whether your goal is to improve your technique, get stronger, compete in your first meet, qualify for Nationals, or pursue the highest levels of the sport.

Along the way, you’ll have access to hands-on coaching, technical feedback, competition preparation, and athlete development resources to support your progress.

At SoCal Weightlifting, you’re not just joining a gym. You’re joining a team committed to pursuing excellence together.

Our Coaching Expertise

Our full-time professional coaching staff is among the most experienced in the country, with a track record of developing athletes from their first day in the sport through national and international competition.

Our coaches also educate the broader weightlifting community through USA Weightlifting coaching courses, seminars, and the SoCal Weightlifting Academy, helping develop the next generation of weightlifting coaches.
