About SoCal Weightlifting

SoCal Weightlifting is a resilient and dedicated community committed to developing athletes through a tested and proven system designed to maximize potential both on and off the platform.

Your Athlete Journey

Our structured development process prioritizes long-term growth. While our home facility was lost in a fire in June 2025, our mission continues stronger than ever. Today, our athletes train across partner gyms, home setups, and from across the country - united through the same world-class programming and coaching that has produced national champions and international competitors.

A key part of that connection is our weekly athlete development calls, where we gather as a team to dive into training strategies, competition preparation, and technical refinement. No matter where you’re based, these calls keep you supported, challenged, and progressing.

Our Coaching Expertise

Our coaching staff - full-time, professional coaches - are among the most experienced in the country, with a track record of guiding athletes from their first competition to national and international podium finishes. Beyond coaching athletes, our team leads USA Weightlifting Courses, Olympic Lifting seminars, as well as educational programs through our online SoCal Academy, equipping the next generation of weightlifting coaches.

Why Choose SoCal Weightlifting?

Our coaching framework ensures:

• Individualized Coaching: Personalized feedback to refine technique and improve performance.

• Intelligent Program Design: Grounded in proven training principles for steady progress and injury prevention.

• A Connected Community: Weekly Zoom calls and shared programming keep athletes learning, growing, and accountable—no matter where they train.

Since 2014, we’ve helped over 2,000 athletes achieve their goals, from first-time competitors to national and international medalists. While we continue the search for a new permanent facility worthy of our community through the end of 2025, one thing is certain: SoCal Weightlifting will always provide the standard of excellence that athletes deserve.
