Have been training with coach Daniel for 3 months, and it's been a wonderful experience working with him for my improvements! The gym has great environments and the staff are very friendly! read more

When I moved to the Bay, I tried out various gym options eventually settling on a crowded global gym chain. I needed a change and was looking for a small gym that focused on strength training. I stumbled upon a video of an enthusiastic coach talking about "leveling up". The Dragon Ball Z, Power Ranger, and Marvel references on HSC's social media helped seal the deal for me! When you join HSC, you gain two things: FAMILY and GAINS! My lady and I were welcomed with open arms from day 1 and the support was amazing. Let me be clear, the workouts are tough, but you receive amazing coaching and support along the way. I LOVE my HSC family! Now, let's talk about these GAINS! When I first started at HSC, I could barely do 1 to 2 circuits of the workouts. I am now closer to 4 to 5 after a few months. All 3 of my major lifts have increased immensely thanks to Austin and the staff's coaching. I look forward to completing in my first powerlifting competition in the near future. Health is wealth folks! Come on in and give HSC a try. You won't regret it! read more

HSC is a great fitness studio that I highly recommend for all ages! As a beginner, the coaches really took their time to motivate me to give it my all while making workouts fun. Very energetic atmosphere! read more

I've been going here since the beginning of this year and I have to say, this is by far THE best gym I've ever been to. The staff is super friendly and very supportive. The vibe here is amazing and you can really tell that the HSC team is a family. I went with the one on one option for training and it has been life changing. Before, I was working out, having a good time, and seeing results but then I plateaued and stayed there. Once Anthony finally got me in the gym, it was a done deal! This is easily the most healthy and athletic I've been in my life! I can't wait for what the future has in store for my fitness journey! Lastly, If you're a nerd like me. This place is for you. I can nerd out with basically everyone here and not be judged for it! read more

I train for Spartan Race with my team here. They have pretty much everything you need to train for the obstacle race on top of all the typical gym equipments. We practice rope climbing, tire flipping, dead hanging etc... Coach Austin is very friendly & knowledgeable & he is always willing to help. It's in very convenient location right off 101. My team really likes working out here! read more

I joined HSC about 3 months back, but it only took about a week to know it was my new favorite gym. If you're a Powerlifter, Olympic lifter, or any other kind of lifter in the San Jose area, THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Austin (the owner) and the rest of his crew will make you feel like family from your first day on. Welcoming atmosphere, well-kept equipment, amazing members! read more

Great place to get a good workout along side a supportive crew. I highly recommend this place for people of all fitness levels.

Joined this gym about a month ago and I love it! I have always tried to do weight lifting but fear set in every time. Here, they do a really good job at making you comfortable and giving you the confidence you may not have at that moment. I highly recommend this place for all body types and all fitness levels! read more

I've been training at Hyper Strength and Conditioning for over a year now and man... the atmosphere is welcoming. The coaches at this gym are friendly and extremely knowledgeable in the different areas of fitness. Not only can you do the regular lifts, you can also do Olympic lifts, try some of the HIIT classes, AND THERE'S A SUPER COOL WATER BOTTLE REFILL MACHINE. read more

Easily one of the best gyms in the San Jose area. The coaches and staff do an amazing job of making you part of the family/community. The coaches know their stuff. My coach was Austin who is also the owner, I told him some problems I had and goals I wanted to reach with my workouts. And boy did he deliver. On top of the workout plans that can be crafted for you, they offer some sweet classes. I enjoyed the physical conditioning classes that kick your ass, and being able to drop in and out of the self paced Olympic lifting is amazing. The facility it self has the bare essentials plus some amazing gear that commercial gyms don't bother to carry. If you are serious about self improvement and want to be apart of a community on your journey to a new you then look no further. read more

I was referred to HSC by coworkers and after witnessing a few of the members go through their first powerlifting meet, observing the support of other HSC members and Coach Austin's enthusiasm; I was motivated to check out the gym and brought my fiancé along. Although, I was worried about the cost of membership, my fiancé and I joined after experiencing a few classes! We considered this to be a great investment in continuing our healthy lifestyle. It was not only the classes that got us hooked, but the overall atmosphere. All coaches, staff, and members are very welcoming and there is a huge comradery among everyone. In my short few months there, I have been challenged by trying new sports, exercises and joining gym challenges to enable healthy habits daily. Coach Austin and staff also create creative ways to keep members active and accountable even outside of the gym. They care about your progress/goals and you feel motivated to put in the work as well. Also, if you are someone who has trouble coming up with your own workout to do at a commercial gym, then this place may be for you. There is already a workout established for you with no thinking required. You put on a good sweat, challenge your body's capabilities and have fun doing it! I say, even if you are a bit curious, come through and check the gym out, take a couple classes and go from there... though, I think you'll agree that you'll want to stay and join the rest of us who love coming here! So, for all beginning and experienced lifters, non-lifters, and you want to take your next step towards healthy living habits, come by and check it out! In addition, if you are an aspiring powerlifter, or want to learn fundamentals in olympic lifting...I would highly recommend coming here for all the newbies to these sports. read more

I've worked out with Coach Austin in the past and he has to be one of the best trainers that I've ever encountered. He makes an effort to explain all the movements and helps people with modifications if they can't do certain exercises. But the best part about working out with Coach Austin is how fun he makes the environment. I recently I reached out to him for some advice regarding my back and how to strengthen it and he was extremely helpful. I'm excited to try out his tips and become stronger and fitter. read more

As a yelp elite I've become stricter on where I put my 5 star stamp of approval. I am happy to say that Hyper Strength and Conditioning gets my 5 star stamp of approval. I've known the owner Austin for more than a decade now and I am absolutely thrilled to see him open up his own shop to help spur the next generation of people seeking to improve their fitness. Hyper Strength and Conditioning or HSC, as it is known by its members, is a gym/fitness program/fountain of motivation/community that specializes in bringing out your best, continually. As a former Veteran I have been through military boot-camp, military combative schools, private gyms, commercial gyms, dojos, and corporate gyms and truly I have never found a program or community as welcoming or uplifting as I have found at HSC. There are programs that are designed for a person like myself who after being in a desk job for more than half a decade and wants to get fit. There are programs for the average person whose fitness experience comes only from their High P.E. class. There are also programs who are tailored to more advanced individuals to either increase their performance or to test their limits of even collegiate athletes (shout out to Jerry's Heroic class cause it will test your limits!). There are weightlifting classes provided by actively competing power lifters and with new classes being brought into the program consistently (yoga, TRX, etc.) there are options for you to get fit! With diet recommendations, body fat analysis, fitness progress reports, partnerships with both local nutritional supplement shops and a on-site massage therapy upon request, and the option for one on one coaching, it is a great fledgling gym! It is a gym that is developing, a community that is becoming thriving, and a place where I feel comfortable working out. Where others won't judge me because of where my fitness level is, on the contrary it is a place where the community and coaches will help me reach where my fitness level could be. Check it out! read more

I've been training with Austin now for about three months after training primarily at commercial gyms. I'll be honest, I went into HSC with a big head and my ego which is often a product of the "bro-science" you see at commercial gyms like 24. I wasn't convinced HSC would be any different or have anything new to offer me, but I was wrong. My original plan was to get a feel for a smaller, close-knit gym while the "resolutioners" eventually died out at 24 and I could go back in mid February when they were completely gone. It is now almost March and I can confidently say I would not train anywhere else. Let's backtrack a little before we get to HSC. Just to give you some info about myself, at the age of 21 I weighed 276lb and was over 30% body fat. In all modesty, I feel I did a good job of educating myself on the basics of nutrition and fitness. After eight months, I had cut 106lbs and weighed in at a relatively lean 170lb and under 20% body fat. I felt on top of the world and shifted my focus to a clean bulk. I told myself I would never allow my body to look like that again. I would go on to break the promise I made to myself after graduation, a desk job, and a failed relationship. It hit me one day getting ready for work as I had noticed my slacks fought me around the waistline and all the slim fit shirts I bought refused to button up. In my mind, I adjusted my workouts and kept my nutrition quasi-clean but I was not able to replicate the amazing results I had before. I also found that the new job constantly stressed me out and I turned to alcohol use on a regular basis to deal with it. I became a victim of my lifestyle changes. After several years, I found myself inching back to 270lb, albeit with a better muscle to fat ratio. I found UFC Gym in Sunnyvale with conditioning classes that got me back in the right direction and I felt confident I was back on the right track (this was around the holiday season of 2015). However, I didn't get the same good feeling I used to get out of my workouts from my first cut. Also the training at UFC wasn't exactly cost effective, albeit it was good training. Toward the end of December and beginning of January, I knew I would not have the patience to deal with the "New Year Resolutioner" crowds at 24/UFC, so I reached out to Austin to try out his gym. Again, going into it, I had decided it was temporary. I knew Austin outside of the gym as a friend from SJSU but I never really took the time to appreciate his fitness/nutrition background. I gotta give it to Austin, he has a unique ability to analyze everyone's fitness experience and has a keen eye for what needs to be adjusted. Within weeks, I was able to hit PR's on my deadlift/squat/bench that I was never able to reach on my own. Austin was able to polish my form and take me to levels I thought I would never reach. He made me stronger through learning alone. We eventually did a body fat assessment and put together a training and meal plan which was tailored to my individual needs. Austin even helped me put together a program to do at 24 for the days HSC was closed. This goes to show that he genuinely cares about the results of each of his clients. In the last six weeks, I've been able to consistently shed about 2lbs a week, which is the same rate I was able to cut on my first run around. As I stick to the program I find myself getting results again. Want to focus on powerlifting? Austin can do that. Want to focus on bodybuilding? Austin can do that. Want to introduce yourself to kickboxing? Austin can do that. Want to just go down a shirt and pants size and be healthier? Austin can do that. On the sales side, Austin doesn't pressure anyone into signing up and he'll let you drop in to try it out before making any commitment. If you do decide to sign up (and you should) there are NO BS admin fees or activation fees. I signed up in the middle of the month and Austin even pro-rated it for me. What was supposed to be temporary fix turned into a permanent lifestyle change for me. On weekends I train at 24 (working the program Austin put together) and now after working out at HSC I have to admit it sucks working out at 24. If you're a seasoned athlete, a veteran gym goer, getting ready for a marathon, or you've never stepped foot in the gym before, HSC is the place for you. #iamhyperstrong #HSCsquad read more

Austin is an incredible personal trainer and I would recommend him in a heart beat. I was hesitant to get a personal trainer originally because I didn't want A) someone to charge me a bunch of money for an unpersonalized workout plan that drilled basic stuff that I already knew, or B) a drill sergeant jerk to charge me a bunch of money to yell at me and try to injure me with idiotic cross-fit moves. I knew I had a winner the first time I spoke with Austin. He got me on a detailed diet (that he even simplified when he realized that I was exceedingly busy with work) and really listened to my specific workout goals (lose fat, gain muscle, stay about the same weight). His workouts were hard and he pushed me to do my best. He is also very empathetic - and I mean that in the sense that he knows how his clients are feeling, how much he can joke with them, which days they're ready to go all-out, and which days they need a lower-key workout. I only stopped working with Austin because I moved, otherwise I'd probably have a workout with him after work today. If you want a skilled, intense-but-manageable, hilarious trainer who will quickly become as much of a friend as a coach then Austin is your guy. read more

Just 5 stars?! I wish there were more stars to give this place! I started Hyper Strength, last year. I went for their 2 weeks trial and usually I would just stop right there but I ended up buying a month membership! The workouts were 45-60mins and was a mix of cardio, weights etc. I usually workout at 6pm with Austin and/or Steph. Both are tremendously funny and know their stuff! If you have any muscle pain they can alter the exercise for you. I weighed at 142lbs and after a month I got down to 139lbs but most excitedly I've gained muscles. It's all about dedication and motivation. I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

The camaraderie at HSC is uplighting and inspiring. Both coaches and clients exude positivity, which makes the challenging workouts bearable and fun. What makes the gym stand out from others is the welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I always find it intimidating to go to new gyms, but I immediately felt comfortable here with new and old members saying hi and introducing themselves to me. I appreciate that the focus isn't solely on losing weight; rather, it is on helping people live healthier lifestyles. read more

I go here to train with my spartan race team. It has ample floor space for tyre flip. It also has a lot of bars for practicing grip strength and hanging stuff. It also has safety lockers which i felt is useful. It also has platforms to do Olympic Lifting. In addition it has a vertical hanging rope to do rope climb. This place has it all, i enjoy and have a great workout everytime I go there. read more

I have been going here since February 2019. This gym is simply awesome. This gym is a bit smaller than what you would expect from a large commercial gym, but what you get here is an experience that you simply cannot get anywhere else. What this gym lacks in floor size, machines, and treadmills, it makes up for with its quality equipment, excellent staff, culture, and community. Because it is a smaller gym, you never feel overwhelmed with interrupting typical gymbros who don't want to let you share a machine, bench, equipment, weights, etc. If you are into power or olympic weightlifting, this gym has all the equipment you could ever need. This gym offers a variety of fun classes for its members taught by passionate trainers who truly put in the effort to maximize your potential. Classes range from conditioning, powerlifting, kickboxing, yoga, and olympic weightlifting. If you want to pay extra for personal training, HSC offers some of the best in the business. Also, you can workout by yourself, but I definitely recommend trying a class here. Whatever your fitness goals are, HSC will help you get there. No matter your fitness level, all are truly welcome here. read more

I went with my friends to have training for spartan. Hsc has all we need. Good for anyone who need to prepare for their competition or workout. read more

I had been with HSC for almost 2 years. Here is my updated review: Pros: 1. They don't do shady business. It's month by month, no contract, no hidden fees. If I have any questions / issues with the payment, they address it right away for me. 2. Awesome coach and staff. Coach Austin program my first powerlifting meet prep, and help me during the meet. It was awesome because there are so many things going on before and during the meet. He makes everything very smooth and easy. Coach Kim is a great lifting coach and has good attention to details. She gave me so many advices that makes me more aware of my posture and playing with different foot and bar placement while I lift. Coach Tim's Oly lifting class is one my favorite classes. Oly lift is complicated for me because there are so many things I need to be aware of, but he is very patient and help me to overcome a lot of obstacles. 3. Fun events. We have so many fun events - recently we did archery tag together. 4. Verity. I love lifting heavy weight but sometimes I want to work on my endurance or do some cardio. Their conditioning classes is a quick, fun way to build up strength and burn fat. 5. Friendly and helpful Staff. Ever single person at HSC is trying to help you. A lot of times I was just chatting with people about issues I had with the lift or soreness, but they take it seriously and try to help me fix the lift, or suggest me to foam roll certain muscle groups. Cons: 1. I can't think of any after two years. Maybe there is none. :) read more

To put into perspective of how much HSC means to me and why it's worth it: I drive a roundtrip of 60 miles to go to San Jose and spend a small part of my day at HSC not only to physically enrich my body, but the mind as well. When you make meaningful, life-long connections at a place (in this case, HSC), it's difficult to just come in and use equipment and do your routine and call it a day. No, that's not the only purpose of HSC. At HSC, you make and build connections just as much as you make and build your PRs and routines. As the name suggests, HSC houses energy like no other ("hyper"). I come in and get drawn by the energy of new people from all walks of life and see familiar faces and smiles. The "hyper" to me signifies an unconditional and unassuming enthusiasm from coaches to inspire their members to give their training the utmost best and mindful care. The "strength and conditioning" just speak for themselves, as proven by all the unique classes they offer to foster functional training, weightlifting, and many more. I mainly do personal training with Coach Kilo and she has gone above and beyond to surpass my ever-changing fitness goals. Creativity and mindfulness come into her workouts. HSC is family. HSC is one of my homes away from home. Just like a family, we have fun gatherings, as a reminder that strength and health are not one-dimensional, but dynamic and holistic. HSC summons fun and grit in the physical core but reveres the importance of the mind and what it means to live a purposeful and meaningful, active lifestyle. Just recently, they've helped me achieve a dream of an opportunity by training me to compete on American Ninja Warrior Season 11! It was in this instance of their unwavering support and energy that I felt like I was at home with family on the day of the competition. It was an effort on their part that I will remember for the rest of my life. I can't thank them enough. I've been driving to SJ for HSC (for 2 years now) not just to escape the hustle and bustle of life but to train to endure the so-called "hustle and bustle" of life. As a nurse, it's important for me to stay physically and mentally strong and to avoid injury that the labor of the profession often is at risk for. When you want to go that extra 60 miles to attain fitness goals (even when people question the worthiness when they realize the length I go to for exercise) then the blood, sweat, and tears (happy!) are nothing but the product of something worthy and of high caliber! I am HSC (hella so confidently, LOL) Proud! read more

See all

Great place to workout! No one gets left behind. Friendly environment with coaches who know what they're talking about. With dedication you will see lots of gains here! read more

Before joining HSC, I struggled with my workouts at a typical gym and staying motivated. Working out was more of a drag than anything. Then I started going to HSC and working out became fun. The atmosphere is inspiring. The coaches and staff are very knowledgeable in their craft. The members are super supportive, like family. The classes are challenging yet strengthening and have pushed me to be in the best shape I've ever been. If you're looking for a challenging yet fun workout, Hyper Strength and Conditioning is the place to be! read more

I have been working out at Hyper Strength and Conditioning (HSC) for a month and a half and I am pleased with my results. Austin and the coaches are knowledgeable, inspiring, and fun! The coaches do a great job teaching the classes and proper technique. The workouts are always different so my body is never adjusting and continuing to stay challenged. I love this! Along with your type of workout you are doing at HSC (classes, weight lifting, etc.), Austin makes fun side competitions that are optional to do such as the monthly Hyper Quest Challenge. These are a series of workouts to complete before the end of the month. You are partnered with someone else and do them on your own time. It's fun! Since I've been at HSC, I lost weight and I feel good. I plan on inviting Austin and his coaches to host a workout session at my job. As much as he motivates me, I am hoping to pass this along to my co-workers and motivate them with their health goals. I highly recommend HSC. I encourage anyone who is looking for a new start to improve your health or physique, wanting to be a part of a welcoming fitness community or just something fun to do. The prices are great and what you learn will benefit you for life. Go Team HSC! read more

I have been going to HSC for the last 6 months, and this gym makes working out fun. The coaches are amazing and the members are super supportive and fun. Conditioning classes are challenging and coaches do a great job of breaking down complex movements for novices like me. I never get bored of conditioning classes here. There is always something new. I remember one conditioning class with 25+ different core exercises. Who knew??? I couldn't even laugh that day after the workout :) Power lifting always looked intimidating to me, but not here. Coaches are awesome at helping us get the right form in lifting classes and make it look easy. Coach Austin's energy is infectious and he knows how to build a great gym. There are monthly challenges at the gym to motivate folks like me to stick to a schedule. Look no further. Come by and say hi. We (members) won't bite you! read more

The team here is amazing! They are always supportive and encourages you to do the best you can. I've been one of those who go to the gym, maybe once or twice a week doing light treadmill activities. Coming to HSC, it's so much more meaning and productive than I could ever do on my own. I learn and improve every time and want to continue to learn. The schedule is super flexible, fitting my needs. Would definitely recommend Coach Austin and team for anyone who just wants to be active! read more

Coach Austin is probably the most motivating, passionate and positive coaches I've trained with! He is always upbeat and always kicks butt with his workouts!! He will definitely have people feeling sore in places they didn't even know muscles exist!! read more

I usually don't like gyms but this one has an amazing team with a great attitude. Each trainer has a strong personality that pushes you to be your best and a very defined training style that allows you to work on different things. All the people I've met there were very friendly and welcoming. No competition or ego drama. I would strongly recommend trying out. read more

Coach Austin works extremely well with people of all physical and activity levels. He's very encouraging and he motivates you so much. He will listen to any of your concerns and answers your questions. He has yeeeeaaarrrsss of experience under his belt and you can see how passionate he is because he gets really happy when you improve-even if its just a small improvement. he's also super funny so you never feel intimidated with him read more

Let me start off by saying, this gym is it. Look no further. I have never stepped into a gym, the minute I walked in, HSC staff members were super friendly and made me feel right at home with open arms. The work outs they have you do are fun and you can feel each muscle working as you are doing it, you actually enjoy working out and all the soreness and shortness of breath are well worth it. I originally signed up for the 7 days trial and was very much pleased and would love to continue to to sign on. However, I was bummed I was not able to due to financial reason. After explaining my reasons why I was not able to continue, coach Austin was willing to work with me just so I can continue to reach my goals. I will end my comment by saying, I will join for sure when timing and financial is all good for me. Shout out to HSC! read more

Austin and his team are incredible coaches. Not just from a training perspective, but also a motivation perspective and giving a crap about your health. Although I've since moved too far away from this gym to train there anymore, the times I had at HSC were some of the most challenging and yet enjoyable sessions I've had working out. Highly recommended, do not put off giving it a shot! read more

Love this gym! The workouts are awesome and so are the coaches. Everyone makes you feel welcomed. This gym is great for beginners and people who have been training for awhile and need/want a kick start. I definitely recommend checking this gym out- you won't regret it! read more

This place is awesome, I've been to several gyms but this place is easily one of the best in the Bay Area. Great classes and fantastic trainers. If you want to learn to lift or even just get in shape and have a fun time doing this is the place for you! read more

I have trained with Coach Austin for about 5-6 years now. When I first asked him about joining his group classes years ago, I was super nervous since I was really intimidated about working out in front of/with other people. He reassured me that I would be able to go at my own pace and gave just the right amount of support and encouragement to ensure I would go home feeling fulfilled. To this day, he has without a doubt continued to instill a drive in me as well as other members that pushes us to our utmost potential. To watch him grow from training his members at other gyms to now owning and coaching at his own location, I couldn't be more proud to say I have been a part of the process. HSC is nothing short of a genuinely welcoming community with an incredible staff that constantly help you find ways to improve and reach your personal goals. read more

I've been working out with Austin, the owner, since 2008 at various other gyms and I've been a member since he ventured out on his own with HSC. I started working out with Austin shortly after my physical therapy was done after an ACL replacement. I still wasn't as mobile as I wanted to be and Austin worked with me knowing about my recent surgery. Well, as you can see almost 10 years later and he's still my coach and more importantly one of my best friends. The workouts and classes always vary to keep you on your toes. The staff are all awesome and I've even been confident enough to register for my first powerlifting competition in June in over a decade because of HSC'S powerlifting class. So drop in and meet the family. #hscsquad read more

Austin and everyone who works, coaches, and trains here is knowledgeable and welcoming. They care about each individual members goals and their progress towards those goals. There are no words that can describe how motivating and encouraging the atmosphere at HSC is, It's just something you'll have to experience. read more

I've been going here a few weeks now and it's been such a fun experience! Most folks I've met have been very welcoming and helpful. It's a wonderful environment to be in for a gym novice. The classes are diverse and usually in the evenings. I've been going to Conditioning mostly, but there are also Lifting classes and other fun activities happening as well. It's a warm little community, and I'm excited to keep going! read more

Being a part of the Hyper family has been the greatest fitness experience I've ever had. My guy and I have held memberships at traditional gyms but were never really motivated to use them, traditional gyms just weren't our thing. He researched alternatives and came across HSC, we did a TWO WEEK free trial and we signed up immediately after. At HSC you not only get a place to go and change your health and fitness life, but you become part of a family and that is the part I LOVE the most. Everyone there from the staff to the members are welcoming and supportive. You MUST check out this gym, I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed!! Oh and did I forget to mention the gains I've experienced during my time at HSC. When I started I could only do 5-10 incorrect push-ups, I know for 50+ he right way, I can squat more than 75 times with and without weights, my energy is through the roof, and I'm just getting started! Again don't miss out on your opportunity to join the fitness family of a lifetime!!! Hope to see you there!! read more

This review is long over due. I can tell you we met Austin before he started hyper strength and conditioning and he was the most charismatic trainer we had ever met. We were looking to shed a couple of pounds before my brothers wedding and we wanted a personal trainer who would motivate us. We met with several different trainers but when we met austin we knew he was different. He catered to our needs and strengths and provided a regiment that helped us reach our goal in 3 months. We continue to see Austin to keep our bodies in shape and to support him as he oversees to expand his vision. He has become a great friend along the way and We couldn't be more happier with our results. Onward and upward austin! read more
