The best powerlifting gym in SoCal I've been to hands down! All of the gym equipment you need and more. Tons of calibrated plates, various power bars, top of the line competition racks, A/C (life saver), great community.... the list goes on! If you are looking for a serious, clean, 24/7 private strength training gym, look no further. read more

Best powerlifting gym ever. If you want to take your game to the next level, Kurt is the guy to do it with. Very knowledgeable when it comes to subcategories of lifting and the community here is like none other. The person complaining about the tripods and filming doesn't understand that this is a powerlifting gym where we have to send videos of our lifts to our coaches for them to critique. Best gym ever!!! read more

Omg I found this gym January this year and have absolutely loved it. Such a huge difference from a commercial gym. The gym is truly for the powerlifting culture. I decided to write this review because recent change in management has really elevated the cleanliness, added new equipment, and uplifted the vibes here. Thanks Kam and Convoy Strength! read more

Convoy Strength - Main powerlifting area - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Currently looking for a new gym and stopped by Convoy and absolutely loved it! High intensity vibe, definitely a great gym for lifting.

I've been at convoy for almost a year now, and I can say it's one of the best powerlifting gyms I've ever been too. Before I made my choice to settle at this gym I visited 3 more gyms around the San Diego area and they were good but convoy at the time met my needs for both Olympic lifting and powerlifting. They are still one of the powerlifting gyms in San Diego that cater to all types of athletes and I think that's what makes it a great place and the people here are the best, all of them are friendly which at the end of the day can make or break the experience. Overall, Convoy Strength is one of the top powerlifting/ weightlifting gyms you can choose in San Diego. read more

Convoy Strength - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here while on a Bachelor party. Guest pass was super easy to do, and all equipment was organized neatly. Good private gym to visit if you're in SD read more

Came here to train for the day when I was taking a trip to SD! And it was perfect! Exactly what I needed to train as a powerlifter. Very clean and the members are very helpful and friendly. read more

I can't express how amazing our experience with Convoy Strength was. I emailed a few weeks before we were scheduled to be in town, and they set me up with guest passes to use the gym. The first thing Erick did when we arrived was to spend time going over all of the protocols they had in place for a safe reopening - masks at all times, wiping down equipment after each use, limiting the total number of people in the space. It was above and beyond anything I've seen any other business implement since they were allowed to reopen, and Convoy Strength is really setting the gold standard. I felt incredibly comfortable working out here, which is absolutely not something I can say for other gyms that have reopened. They obviously take super good care of their space and members, and it shows. Beyond their handling of COVID-19, this is probably the nicest lifting gym I've ever been to. The space is beautiful and there are tons of racks, platforms, bars, clips, and competition-quality plates. Everything is meticulously organized (different bars are colored, clips are neatly hung on a wall, everyone follows gym etiquette and keeps the space tidy and clean). This is truly a quality gym where you can go and get in an amazing workout around other lifters. Even though we were working out on guest passes, Erick made us feel super welcomed and comfortable, and everyone in the gym was really friendly. Also big shoutout to Kurt, who we did 3 training sessions with to work on squat, deadlift, and bench - I set new PRs for squat and deadlift, and feel way more confident in my technique and programming to get stronger because of his coaching! Going to Convoy Strength was such a highlight of our vacation that my boyfriend and I joked about relocating to SD to wait out the rest of quarantine. I'm so glad we've found an awesome gym to work out at in SD and we'll definitely be back the next time we visit! read more

The only premier powerlifting gym here in San Diego. If you're looking to really get stronger in squat, bench, or deadlift then this is the place for you. You will hardly ever need to wait for equipment and they have all of the competition specific equipment you need if you're competing in any powerlifting federation. I compete in USAPL and this gym fits all my needs. read more

Sick powerlifting gym! Got everything you need with so many combo racks and platforms

Been going for about a month now and can honestly say this was the best move for me in regards to where I'm going to put my work in. Amber is the manager, a sweetheart, and puts in a lot to keep the place the best it can be. All the athletes that go here are incredible and very friendly. I'm still new and go at wonky hours but those who I have met and briefly talked to, you've all been great. Speaking of wonky hours, this place is a 24/7 establishment so those with weird work hours or sparks of motivation at different times of the day or night would have no issue coming here. Ultimately, this place is amazing. All the equipment you would ever need, a fit fam away from your blood line, a place to put in time, and a place you can be proud to call your home gym. read more

Convoy Strength - Olympic platform for all you weightlifting dreams - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

This is the fillet mignon of exercise facilities. I can't express what an incredible atmosphere change it is from the regular big box gyms. It is clean, everyone puts their equipment back, and training is taken seriously. I'm not a hardcore powerlifter or body builder but I don't think I could ever go back to rush hour at a big brand. Try it once, you'll be hooked for life. read more

Honestly everything you really need. Not only are you paying for a quality gym atmosphere with all the necessary essentials. You are also paying for such a great community. Everyone here is absolutely supportive! Especially when you are tryna PR on a lift! read more

i love working out here! everyone is so nice and the environment is great to work out in

This is a good gym with all the equipment you need if you are visiting from out of town. They specialize is power lifting or at least that's what I observed in my daily drop ins the week I was in town. But there is a specific area with plenty of platform space, lots of bumpers, change plates, 2 squat racks and rogue blocks for work... everything you need to not miss any of your Oly programming. I bought a class pass and will definitely be back the next time I'm here for work. read more

Convoy Strength - If only that was my snatch setup...and not my DL :-( - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Bruh! Have you gotten kicked out of any commercial gym for using chalk, recording, yelling, grunting, no shoes when you deadlift? If you fall under any of these categories, Convoy Strength is where to be. One stop for all of your powerlifting and Olympic lifting needs. Packed with competition bars for both platforms, competition combo racks (powerlifting), kilo plates, regular plates, dumbbells, turf, basically everything you need to get ready for your competition or just to train with the state of the art equipment. Convoy strength is also a 24 hour gym! When you sign up you get your own key to go in and out as you please. And if you wanna come check it out, it's 15$ for the whole day. The environment is welcoming, friendly and full of top competitors. Convoy strength is where it's at. ITS LIT #LIGHTEMUP read more

A very fun first experience! Eric was very welcoming and gave us a basic tour of the gym. Equipment was clean and very organized. The overall environment was very positive and I was able to get through my workout with no complaints. Definitely will be coming back when I'm in town. read more

Equipment and 24/7 access was quite nice, but environment is off putting and annoying. Was always tripping over tripods and walking in front of people filming themselves. Not sure if there are more people videoing their lifts or actually training. read more

I've been a member for two months now and can't see myself going back to any other gym. They have lots of high end equipment and there's always space to do what you want. No waiting around for equipment like at other gyms (I usually train between 11am and 1pm). The staff is super friendly and so are all the other members. read more

I moved to San Diego recently ago and joined Convoy. I had only trained in a regular gym so was a little self conscious joining a lifting gym with all the best equipment and knowing some world class lifters train here. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming and happy to show me the ropes or answer any questions (both staff and members). It has great equipment and has friendly and relaxed atmosphere even though everyone is serious about training... oh and its 24/7. Great gym! read more

Great gym with equipment for all levels. 24/7 access is nice but it can get a little crowded here.

Probably the best powerlifting gym in San Diego with top notch equipment, great management (Amber), and 24/7 access. It's equally good for Beginners like myself as well as for elite lifters. Beyond all that the gym sets up workshops with world class talent on a regular basis. There are various options for coaching, and the gym is hosting a powerlifting meet in Feb 2019, which will be my first one. read more

This is simply an outstanding gym. It has everything you need, and people are forced to put their weights back.

Legit gym for legit lifters. Has combo racks, deadlift platforms, different bar types, and more.

Awesome gym. Has everything a strength athlete would need! Has plenty of sets of calibrated competition plates if you are a competitive lifter and a few competition racks for powerlifting. Has a very homey feel to it too and definitely not overwhelming if you're looking for a place to go for a day pass if you're in the area! read more

This is a world-class facility that has great Oly and powerlifting equipment. Exceptional COVID protocols and lots of space. Great vibe and community. A must visit if you are in any strength sports! Also, Erick is an awesome manager who is always friendly and welcoming. read more

Great place to workout. Could be a little cleaner but that's just nitpicking. The people are great and encouraging. Highly recommend talking to people if you get confused about the equipment. Most of the people will help if you ask. This is a powerlifting gym and most of the people who attend this gym aren't here as casual gym goers. Most are competing and have coaches. However, I came here as a novice lifter, and everyone was extremely supportive and helped me grow. read more

Probably the best powerlifting gym in San Diego! I loved my experience at CS and was sad to cancel my membership there. The staff are incredibly kind and hard-working; Erick, who I believe is gym manager, was so amazing when showing me the gym and explaining COVID guidelines. As an intermediate powerlifter whose only ever trained at my schools gym, I was worried about coming into an environment where people were arrogant or rude but every person I interacted with was always so kind and welcoming. Even though Erick showed me how to use the comp equipment when I signed up, I still struggled once I went into the gym on my own but I was happy to find that others in the gym were really kind and helped me out. I've only experienced CS during the pandemic so I've never experienced a crowded gym nor was I never not able to use a piece of equipment because someone else was using it or had to wait for a rack/bench. Their COVID guidelines made me really safe and comfortable to train there. They are doing amazing things at this facility, I definitely recommend! read more

Promised I would leave a review and I totally forgot to, my bad!! Stopped by here last week to get my training session in during my mini vacation. This gym has just about everything you need for Powerlifting and Oly Weightlifting. Met Amber as well! Super sweet and very down to earth, thanks girl for letting us come in for the day! I will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in San Diego! read more

Best gym if you are looking to train seriously. Open 24/7 so you never need to worry about time. Top notch powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting equipment there is. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get serious training in plus they have knowledgeable trainers and manual/massage therapist at this location. read more

Great gym and great people. I started training here because I get off of work close to midnight and Convoy Strength is the only gym that provides real equipment 24/7. I stick primarily to the weightlifting side and I love it. The bars and plates are in great condition. The platforms are also in good condition. Amber does a great job of handling all issues and concerns. Donald is an outstanding coach and I highly recommend utilizing his coaching programs. This is an amazing gym for basically any type of training! read more

This is a topnotch gym out of those that specialize in powerlifting and strength training. It has a completely different atmosphere than major general purpose gym. Coming here is like coming home, very friendly and encouraging environment. I have been to this gym from the time it first opened. The previous location was OK but the new location at Balboa and Convoy is super clean and has enough room and equipment for more people that is usually there. read more

Are you someone that wants to gain strength? Size? Speed? Power? This is the place for you. It's an amazing gym with everything you need to reach your goals. This is the place that you will grow as student of exercise. A place where powerlifters, weightlifters, athletes, body builders, and fitness fanatics go to improve on their craft and meet some great people. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Feel free to email them and get a free tour around the gym. You won't regret it! Alright, I got to go, I have a date with a beautiful Eleiko bar :) read more

A community based, strength driven gym ran by an incredibly amazing and accessible manager, Amber. Not only does this gym have the best variety and quality equipment, but is also filled with some amazing members. People here are simultaneously serious about their goals while being helpful, open, and kind. This is a great place for all levels of strength athletes to come together to make some serious gains and even some new friends! If you are looking to get into powerlifting, weightlifting, or other ventures there is an outstanding base of trainers in house to help you reach your goals. In addition, the massage therapist, Kurt is extremely knowledgeable and conveniently located inside the gym itself. I cannot recommendation Convoy Strength enough!! read more

This place is awesome. If you're interested doing serious lifting and are tired of dealing with the downfalls of commercial gyms (crowdedness/no proper equipment) then this place is you're salvation. They have all the equipment you need and it's overall a great place to lift. Highly recommend! read more

Great facility. It's clean, you have 24 hour access and has all your powerlifting needs. Plenty of racks, kilo plates, Olympic Weightlifting platforms, and a turf area to push/pull a prowler, or to do farmers walk. Overall, great training environment and good location. read more

This place is legit. If you want top quality equipment and to be around people who are committed to fitness and strength, then I believe this is the place. read more

Super clean gym with great atmosphere and people. Not just the owner but also the members take great care of it. Location is good, just off the 52 freeway, close to lots of food places, and there's always parking available. Has all the equipment you'll need and more. Puppy mascot is also the cutest dog you'll ever meet. Would recommend to all strength athletes looking for an extra push in their training :) read more

Wonderful gym. Amber and Joe are always accommodating and kind when it comes to setting up appointments for day passes. Have all the equipment you could need for powerlifting/oly. And there's a pretty good chance you'll run into a cute dog while you're there. read more

Seriously this place is amazing. Great vibe. ALL the equipment; from powerlifting to conditioning to bodybuilding all bases are covered! Good thing it is 24/7 because I'm very excited to train here! read more
