Weightlifting in Orange County

Whether you’re a teen just starting out, a senior lifter chasing new goals, or a master athlete looking to stay strong, we’re here to take you to your next level.

SoCal Weightlifting offers training in Orange and Laguna Niguel, where athletes follow the same proven system that has developed lifters from their very first competition all the way to the Senior World Championships. We begin working with athletes as young as 12 years old, ensuring they receive the right foundation for long-term success.

Each athlete’s development is overseen by a primary coach to keep programming aligned with your goals, while most training happens in a coached open gym environment. This model gives you individualized coaching and programming without the personal training price tag.

Our community includes athletes who train recreationally for strength and fitness, and over the years we’ve also coached lifters who have gone on to compete and represent Team USA. Whatever your goals, we’ll meet your commitment and guide you every step of the way.
