Women friendly and a great place to better yourself read more

Today I had the pleasure of visiting the Electrum gym in Kearny Mesa and I was blown away by the experience. Electrum Performance is focused on building programs catered to meet each individual's unique needs, whether it be loosing fat, achieving gains, recovering from injury, or getting an edge over the competition on the mat. Rodrigo was the trainer on duty and he really helped me correct my form to better isolate the muscle groups I was targeting with a very friendly and highly competent disposition. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and the gym really lived up to its reputation as being the best choice for performance athletes in the Southern California area; it's no wonder why some of the world's best fighters train there. Alex and his team really have a unique thing going on and seeing, my brother, Anthony's gains over the past few years is proof that they definitely know what they're doing. I was able to train alongside a couple of the world's best BJJ practitioners today at Electrum but what really stood out was how they treated everyone with the same level of respect and attention as they would a world champion. I've trained in numerous gyms but have never had an experience like the one I had today. If you're a performance athlete or just a normal person looking to get into shape, Electrum Performance is the best choice out there and you won't have to break the bank to join! Thank you Alex and Rodrigo for doing what you do and allowing me to see, firsthand, how dedicated you are to your members! read more

Alex is a total treasure. He's genius, fun, and genuinely cares for the well being of his friends and clients. He's got a team of awesome trainers and a welcoming environment. Worth every single penny and then some because he'll be a support system for life if you let him. read more

Electrum performance is by far the best gym I've trained at! The coaches on the floor are extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and are there if you have any questions at all regarding form, a potential injury you may need to work around, or just targeting a specific muscle group that can be difficult to target. The workout programs that are given are curated just for you for any and all of your fitness goals/needs! Whether you're a bjj athlete looking to improve your stamina, improve your grip, gain strength, or just someone who wants that strategic and serious workout plan, this is the perfect gym! The atmosphere is extremely positive and the community is delightful to be around. If you train bjj (or if you don't) and are looking for a gym that will focus on your improvement, this is the gym for you read more

I love Electrum Performance! I've been working out with Alex as my trainer since 2018 when he was at another gym and couldn't be happier that he decided to open up his own gym. He's one of the most friendly, intelligent and helpful humans I know. Electrum Performance is more than a gym. It's a community. The trainers and members here are all fun to be around. Many of the athletes here practice Ju Jitsu which I do not. However, this private gym is perfect for regular work outs as well as Ju Jitsu. It's a nice change of scenery from the big box gyms where things can get too crowded. I love the programs that Alex writes up for me. It makes it easy to track my progress. Highly recommend Electrum Performance! read more

Electrum Performance - Gym - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

This gym is not for just people who do jujitsu! My favorite gym in San Diego! This gym is for everyone all levels, shapes and sizes. The owner Alex Sterner has been my coach for over 3 years now. The first time we met he created a custom workout plan for me after figuring out my starting point, learning my goals and asking if there's any exercises I enjoyed already. Over the following weeks he made sure each time I came into the gym I felt comfortable and confident with what I was doing before he left me on my own. Even when I was on my own he was still present there if I needed help or had any questions. Highly recommend this gym if you're looking for a place to help you feel confident so you can adventure to the gym on your own at some point without getting hurt! read more

I love Electrum Performance! I have been with them, and specifically, the owner, Alex Sterner, for several years and have followed them to a couple different gyms. Now they have their own amazing facility. Electrum Performance has a wide variety of machines and equipment that keeps each workout interesting and constantly challenges different muscles. I have never felt uncomfortable or judged or scared to ask a question with these trainers and the other members at the gym, which is rare and something I greatly value. Alex, Rodrigo, and Matt are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging and genuinely want each client to feel strong and reach their goals. Each workout plan is individualized and changes according to your preferences and goals. Whether you want to work on agility, improve on performance with specific sport, get stronger generally, or if you're new to weight lifting, they'll guide you. I have had some injuries and Alex has worked with me to continue strengthen and heal those areas while still being able to exercise safely. The whole team is very research focused and will debunk common fitness myths. Their evidence-based knowledge allows them to create workout plans that strengthen each muscle component necessary to achieve your specific goals. I would highly recommend this facility! read more

I started training with Anthony about 6 months ago and he is amazing! He has helped me gain knowledge and put them to work every time I come in for a session. I never doubted his ways on being able to teach me. I came in with training for a hard hike this October and he has helped me improve each training hike I've done. My strength has improved! The real test comes in October and I am excited and nervous! Anthony is honest and helpful, as well as the other trainers at Electrum Performance. If your trainer is not able to help you because they are busy helping someone, another EP trainer will come to help you if you have questions or need help with something. They are always there if you ask and they will make time for you! This is the longest I've stayed with a trainer and hoping for it to continue! Go to Electrum Performance! They will make you work hard and help you feel empowered! :) Thank you for all you do! read more

The trainers are this gym are THE BEST! I learned so much from them. You'll learn the fundamentals of strength training and how to properly train + track your progress. One of my favorite things about Electrum is how professional the team is. When I first met Alex it was so refreshing to work with a trainer who wasn't a "bro", if you know what I mean! They're extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING and the programs they write for you are intentional and evidence-based. Def recommend! read more

This place is absolutely incredible!!! Anthony is my trainer and I am beyond grateful for his help these last few months. He is overly patient with me and helps to explain/breakdown exercises that are challenging for me. A few months ago it was difficult for me to lift even 40 lbs (no joke) and yesterday Anthony had me hip-thrusting 185 lbs. I'm SO happy I have the opportunity to work with him and with all my progress in such a short time frame. I'm relatively new to the gym world and NEVER thought I would love training and the gym this much. Anthony reached out to me following my inquiry for Glute specific training and scheduled a consultation. Almost immediately, I felt comfortable in the space and it's primarily due to the people there. Everyone is SO helpful and nice; the opposite of what I had anticipated from a super nice, large professional training facility. The training is designed as individual one-on-one but every single trainer in there is more than happy to help you whenever you ask or look like you're struggling. It's a welcoming environment which is really important to me. The equipment is all brand new and super nice which is always a plus 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I got the pleasure of being able to workout at this facility recently and I have to say the trainers are top notch when it comes to both knowledge and motivating their clients. I would highly recommend this place to anybody in the San Diego area! Thank you once again Electrum! read more

There aren't words to describe the greatness of Anthony's abilities as a trainer. Minus sarcastic. Just kidding; he really knows what to say to get me into gear to lift and not sell myself short. These are the best trainers in San Diego period. Not only are the plans tailored to exactly what I'd like to do and the changes I'd like see in my body but they're also able to explain the scientific reasoning behind each movement, and why you're doing it. These are not your run of the mill trainers, they know what they're doing and they have the education, knowledge, and experience to back it up. In an age where everyone with an Instagram is a fitness expert, spend your money on the real deal. If you're still not sold, I met Anthony (and the others) at another training facility in SD and when they decided to move, myself and many other ladies picked up and moved with them! Lastly, an awesome added bonus is that they have an app for all their programming so you just show up, open to the day of the week on the calendar and your workout is there: the exercise, sets, reps, and a spot for you to input how much weight you used so you can see your progression over time which isn't something a lot of trainers can offer. read more

Best damn strength training gym around! I absolutely love my programming and coaches. I see and feel results. Coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The gym and equipment is awesome, well kept and plenty of space! Love this gym! read more

I started working with Anthony just over four months ago and I'm amazed at the progress I've made in such a short amount of time. I've been lifting for 10+ years, worked with a few trainers and have been to multiple gyms catering to an array of styles and none of them have given me the results that working with electrum has. Anthony is amazing at programming and listening to feedback. He's always asking how my body feels after each new program and what feels right and what doesn't. He listens to the areas I feel I want to work with. Two of my goals have been to hit over 400 lbs on hip thrusts and to do a pull up unassisted and I hit those, with what feels like, ease. I have hit PRs consistently. What I look for in a trainer is someone who will push me past my limits but, doesn't micro manage me and Anthony totally fits that ideal. If you're looking for a new trainer/ place to train I highly recommend trying electrum. The guys are super knowledgeable and amazing to work with. read more
