This is awesome gym for people who want to train and get coached up by actual competitive lifters.I have been training since high school (just about 2 decades) and I feel like I have really hit a plateau over the past few years. With the help of the staff here I feel like I’m finally getting the technique I need to continue to build my strength. The atmosphere is great and it feels like everyone there is a part of the community. I’m thankful for the coaching and look forward to continued growth here.

GTS is the best gym for people who dont like crowds or waiting for machines/squat racks. You get to choose your own time-slot and there are usually only 1 or 2 other people in the gym at any given time. They have a ton of equipment and it feels like your own private gym!

I absolutely this gym. Its not just one of my favorite gyms in LA; its among the best Ive ever experienced. During a work trip, I was on the hunt for a quality gym and stumbled upon GTS. Right from the start, I felt warmly welcomed by Jason and his team. Beyond providing an excellent workout environment, the gym is impeccably clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need, all while retaining that genuine gym ambiance. It felt like I was working out in my own personal home gym. As someone who frequents the gym 5-6 times a week, GTS is unequivocally the place to be in LA. Overall, it was an exceptional experience!

Love this gym! The coaches are very knowledgeable and have corrected my form as well as helped me work through my injuries. They really care about each gym member, are encouraging and inspirational, and a lot of fun to work with.The community is incredible as well... GTS has built a great environment that is built around enthusiastic people who are supportive of each other and excited to see each others gains.

I have really enjoyed my experience training at GTS so far. The structured programming takes the guesswork out of workouts for me. Having my sessions planned out ahead of time with a checklist to cross items off allows me to fully focus on my training without being overwhelmed by decisions. I appreciate how the trainer makes workouts interactive by incorporating the whiteboard - its fun to see my progress tracked visually.Coming from larger commercial gyms, I found the environment at GTS to be less intimidating. With fewer people around, I dont feel as self-conscious or like I dont belong. The small class sizes also ensure I get individualized attention to learn proper form. My trainer has done a great job easing me into training at a comfortable pace to build sustainable habits. Im looking forward to our upcoming testing day to see how my strength has improved.

Started with GTS Nov 2023 after walking past their El Segundo location. I inquired about membership, training, etc. They were super responsive from the beginning, awesome customer service, training program, overall community. Love their convenient locations. I’ve gotten stronger since joining and love the progress I’ve made with them. Highly recommend!

I love this gym. It has a great vintage vibe that draws from the strength of previous generations. The staff are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Under their tutelage I recovered from a 6 week fallow period very quickly and without injury. They are the best.

I love this gym so much, the coaches are very nice, approachable, and the space is very clean, has every machine I need! I’ve seen so much progress in my own training with their training program, and I’m excited to see how far I go!

Exactly what I was looking for when I moved to LA and wanted to join an old-school strength-training gym! I was tired of chain gyms that want you to train like youre in a library or church, have insane wait times for popular equipment, or try to constantly upsell you. I wanted a more authentic and customizable workout experience, and GTS delivers exactly that. The coaching and management team is super friendly and responsive, the facilities are clean, and there are zero wait times (sometimes it almost feels like working out in a private gym!). I havent used them for training help yet, but all of the coaches are powerlifting athletes, so I dont doubt that they know what theyre doing! I was always a gym rat but I feel even more excited about training because of the great workout sessions I experience at GTS. On top of everything, its a great way to support a local business!

If your looking for quality training, you have found your spot. The staff works closely with their members and provides top notch instruction. The facility is well kept, and regulated in a manner so that you will rarely, if ever find yourself waiting to access gym equipment. As a former collegiate wrestler who continues to train in some form of combative arts this is a great tool that many athletes can use to improve their resistance to injury and increase their sports performance in a safe environment that prides itself on technical aspects of training. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced lifter, I would highly recommend the barbell masterclass. There are many techniques and concepts that the average gym goer overlooks, gaining exposure to this class can help improve your lifts, prevent injury and facilitate proper mind muscle activation.

Great gym with a lot of weight options. Perfect for powerlifting! Came here from Switzerland and had a great workout!

Trained at GTS for over a year and a half, and coming from collegiate track and cross country, I was relatively inexperienced with the Olympic type lifts. Really I had nothing to worry about, the coaches Jason/Phil/Dennis/Nick and the other GTS athletes were great! They taught me the basics and then helped me make slight alterations here and there to perfect my lifts. I eventually competed in one of the lifting competitions and had a blast. The team here is awesome, I cant say enough good things!UpdateI’m back again after a break during quarantine. I’ve done the mega gyms (LA Fitness/ 24), the cross fit gyms, and even my own basic home gym, but nothing compares to GTS. Jason has put together an fun environment, with quality equipment, and purposed programming that gives people real results. I came in as primarily a runner wanting to challenge myself in new ways, building strength. Jason’s program got me comfortable completing squats, deadlifts, presses, etc. - building weight and realizing new strength. There’s nothing else out there like GTS that I’ve found.

Just started with GTS and loving it. I signed up for the 3 day training camp with Jason the owner, and quickly realized this was the right training gym for me. The coaches are sticklers for technique, which is what you want when you are lifting heavy. The training camp was a great intro to their coaching program, which I happily signed up on the spot after my last day. Highly recommend supporting small businesses during this time vs big box gyms--especially for the attention you receive from their staff. Love that there are different locations to choose from and looking forward to my new program and getting back into lifting shape!

Ive been a career competitive rowing coach for the last 27 years, Ive worked with many great strength coaches and worked inside many strength training facilities. GTS is a well run and professional organization with coaches who are experienced, educated, and absolutely know what they are doing. In my case they have been very patient with an older guy trying to claw back into some semblance of strength and mobility. The facilities are well equipped and the training is well thought out and organized. I will continue to train here indefinitely.

GTS has been the most incredible gym experience I have had in my life. Not only is the coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable, but the entire energy of the gym is friendly and warm welcoming. Jason and the staff will help you reach your goals and become the strongest you have ever been. Even if you have never worked out a day in your life, the coaching staff is willing to work with you slowly until you are comfortable on your own. What I appreciate about GTS is the concentration on form and function, ensuring that you do not get injured throughout your daily workouts. I also appreciate the flexibility in commitment that allows you to come in for coaching hours and get 1:1 time while only paying a fraction of the price of a personal trainer. This is something I have not seen offered at any other gym. The gym is always clean and never too crowded since there is system of pre-selecting training slots that are open ahead of time. I would 10000% recommend joining this gym if you are looking to learn how to feel comfortable in the gym and become the strongest you have ever been.

An astonishingly well equipped 24hr gym. Clean, tidy and cared for. Can’t recommend enough! Intro with Jason and the team who are wonderfully helpful.

GTS is the best gym experience Ive had by far. New to lifting but all the coaches were welcoming and friendly. Ive learned a ton, looking forward to being a member for a long time. They are extremely flexible and supportive, and genuinely care about everyone that comes in. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new gym in the area.

Finding a good gym is not easy. Most gyms are packed and it can be tough to get a chance to use the equipment you want. Not with Game Time Strength. I have been a member for a few weeks now and I will never turn back. This place is run by great knowledgeable coaches and has everything you need to improve yourself.

Ive had nothing but positive experience training at GTS. Great facility with all the equipment youd ever need. Jason and his team were also very welcoming in showing me how to use the equipment properly and setting me up for success on my fitness journey. Fantastic facility for new and experienced lifters.

Ive been going to Ganetime Stregnth on and off for about 10 years. Jason is amazing coach. Staff is very friendly. Hos programming is by far the best. All the coaches are knowledgeable and nice. All they care about is good form and solid reps in time strength will follow. Great atmosphere.

2022-08-12 18:34:12

My son has been working out at GTS for 6 weeks now. Overall, he really enjoys the 1:1 coaching sessions and the programming. The coaches seem knowledgeable and are all very nice and supportive. He’s already been seeing improvements in the short period of time he’s been going. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about weight training.

My husband and I recently moved in to the area, and were on the lookout for a new gym. 4 Star Gym/Game Time Strength (GTS) came as the recommendation from the owner of a gym we formerly went to.What I really appreciate about GTS is the program: their goal is to ensure safety and eventually transition you into being independent. The gym offers a 3-day introduction course and one-on-one with the coaches (I’ve worked with Jason, Kelly, Dennis, and Phil), who are all phenomenal. To give a little background, I don’t have much experience in powerlifting, except for a few group classes here and there. Just from that 3-day intro course at GTS, I’ve learned more about form than I personally ever could in a group setting. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly, keep your form safe.I am really looking forward to continue training at this gym. There is a place for everyone, regardless of experience.

GTS is an amazing local gym with everything you need to lift! 24/7 access is a huge plus too. Everyone takes really good care of the equipment and it’s always clean.

I cant say enough great things about Game Time Strength. Jason has created a Unique, First Class Gym and Training Program. Tons of weights & equipment and very clean:) All of the Coaches are amazing and always helpful. You show up and your Program for the day is pre-programed for you. Jason & the Coaches are there to support you and Your fitness goals. And theres 3 locations to choose!

Review №25

2023-05-08 23:48:33

Part of the appeal of this place is that it’s in downtown El Segundo so anytime I finish a work out here I walk right out to an ocean breeze and a bunch of fun food options. But the major draw of this gym is that the coaches are second to none. They have my program dialed in and they are fanatical about technique. All I need to do is bring a willing attitude and they help me bring the best out in myself.

I trained with GTS for almost three years and cant speak highly enough about the experience. The organization is well suited for beginners looking for a new way to get in shape, experienced powerlifters, and all points in between. I would consider myself an intermediate lifter with a tendency to get bored with monotonous workouts but Jason did a great job at coming up with creative programming to keep me interested and coming back for more. The gym atmosphere is great. Very encouraging and inclusive to new people while at the same time not overwhelming or in your face for times when you just want to put in headphones and focus on your own workout. Best of both worlds all around.BONUS: The equipment is all top of the line and even at its most busy youll almost never need to wait for a squat rack or bench press!

Did a drop in to GTS while traveling to prep for a powerlifting competition. They had everything I needed, plenty of room, and a great community. Jason (the owner) had great/timely communication, and was very welcoming. This will definitely be my go to training facility in the LA area!

Love GTS and their gyms. Clean equipment, friendly environment, never crowded! 24 hour reservation system keeps number of gym goers down which is great for me because I dont have to wait for equipment and less exposed to other people, which is very important to me.

Excellent personal training!! Jason, Phil, and Kelley (all trainers) really care and go above and beyond to help you lift safely and proper form. I have gained a lot of confidence in all my major lifts. Small and private gym that feels more personal. Highly recommended!

Great old-school gym for people serious about lifting, whether you’re a pro or just getting started. The staff is helpful, fun, and patient when coaching. Great community environment where people seem to get along and support each other. There’s a second area adjacent to the main gym with more weights and machines. Definitely no waiting here.

Great strength training gym. We were in from out of town and went in with family. Quiet gym, all the strength equipment you need, and clean. I would definitely have a membership here if I live close. My only complaint is there are no mirrors for form checks.

Excellent gym if youre focused on learning to lift properly and getting stronger. The group training and coaching model offered at the gym is very unique and I found the one week lifting boot camp to be extremely valuable. Coach Jason and his staff were great to work with and his warm-ups and lifting cues really helped me correct my form and feel my muscles firing properly. Look forward to training here again.

Perfect gym that has a variety of equipment and machines for all levels of training. This gym has helped me maintain my fitness goals whilst being on holiday and Jason and his team are very welcoming and friendly.Happy to come here again and look forward to continuing to train when I visit the US again.

The convenience, equipment and atmosphere of this gym are fantastic! The flexibility with membership options are great as well. There’s something for everyone here.This location gets bonus points for any Northrop employees as it is extremely close to campus.

Jason and his team are the absolute best! No matter what questions or concerns I had, the GTS staff was ready and willing to help me succeed in my overall fitness goals; I never once felt like I was lost or unable to get help. The staff is AMAZINGLY knowledgeable and I saw drastic improvements in my overall strength in a short amount of time, despite lifting for years.Great atmosphere, great people, and great results.If anyone is considering, thinking about, or is even slightly entertaining the idea of committing to a healthy lifestyle and regimen, GTS is highly HIGHLY recommended.

Such a great gym! During the original COVID lockdown in 2020 I got really into fitness but after a year of home workouts, I wanted to progress and start lifting some heavy weights. I originally signed up for the three day clinic to learn the lifts and really focus on form. I had done a few barbell lifts here and there but Jason and his trainers really helped me nail down technique and get comfortable with the lifts. I immediately signed up afterwards and made some great strength gains over the new few months until some family issues forced me to move out of state for awhile. Now that Im back in the area full time I had to come back. I love the small atmosphere of the gym and the environment where people actually rerack their weights and pick up after themselves! Plus, with 4 different locations there is plenty of equipment and options to get a great workout without it being too crowded. Cant wait to make some serious strength gains again this year.

2021-12-18 23:20:54

I have never encountered a gym as thoughtful, non-judgmental, encouraging, and effective as GTS. Whether you are a competitive powerlifter or someone who has never touched a barbell, everyone on staff will make you feel welcome and comfortable from day 1. If you have ever experienced anxiety in the gym, the combination of reservations, programs, and coaching is the perfect recipe to combat this. You will never wait for a squat rack or feel pressured to rush on a piece of equipment. You will always have a coach making sure you are performing moves safely and without injury. GTS is also half the price of what I was paying for a personal trainer, and they prioritize education over codependence, so you are actually investing in lifelong knowledge that you can take with you to any gym. Bottom line, as a fat kid who hated exercise, I never thought I would look forward to my gym sessions this much!

There are few places (no less gyms) where I feel more at home than at game time. I’ve been lifting at GTS for little over 3 years so my review might be a little biased, but then again there’s a reason I’ve built such a bias. I found GTS when I first moved to the city and decided to give it a shot even though I lived almost 20 miles away. 3 years later and I still drive almost 20 miles to get here. I’ve been stuck in anywhere from 30 to 70 minutes in traffic getting here, but it was always worth it in the end. All the equipment you could want, you can come and go as you please, there are no closed times and the community is really just a welcoming one. And while I haven’t been coached by Jason, I could always tell by observing him that he is completely invested in your progress, so if you’re looking for a powerlifting coach, reach out to Jason. Oh and if you happen to be looking for a gym with a weightlifting bar, they have two really nice Ivanko bearing bars that spin beautifully. Goes without saying that I’d highly recommend GTS!

Truly felt Jason rebuilt my lifts from the ground up during the strength assessment. Been lifting for a while but got serious about Powerlifting a year and a half ago. It was refreshing to work with someone who prioritized longevity and actively sought to humble me and not to put number first. I ended up not going for the private coaching. Not because it wasnt worth it.. it 100% is but just because of my own personal budgeting. I still opted for a gym membership and its an ideal place to exercise. All the raw strength training sans ego and bro mirror selfie culture. Jason, his team, and all the athletes who workout there have been nothing but kind, inviting, professional, and encouraging. I would highly recommend this place and push everyone to at the very least do the strength assessment.

The team at GTS does a wonderful job at making you the priority, and focuses on your growth and progression. I took their training session and within the three days, they have been able to break almost all of my bad habits in a safe and comfortable manner. Everyone from the staff and members are encouraging and supportive. You dont have to worry about waiting for a machines and there are no shortages of weights.

Review №41

2023-01-22 06:04:27

I’ve known Jason for almost 8 years now. This guy absolutely knows his stuff. Not only will you become stronger and more confident, you’ll also come away with an understanding of biomechanics and proper programming - things that’ll provide results consistently over time and in a healthy and safe manner. He’s an absolute unit of a lifter himself; watching him move weight will motivate you to work harder. Appreciate having Jason and GTS around. We need more places like this.

Review №42

2017-12-05 01:36:23

Absolutely one of the best training programs Ive ever done, and Ive tried multiple trainers at chain locations like 24 Hour Fitness. Chain gym trainers would always listen to the fact I wanted to get stronger and learn to lift, but would then inform me thats not what I actually wanted as a woman and proceed to give me incredibly low weight high rep routines.The trainers at GTS treat you like family, listen to what your actual goals are, and push you to be the best you can be. I wouldnt go anywhere else for training, and highly recommend it to anyone who genuinely wants to get stronger.

Review №43

2018-08-28 23:57:13

The GTS team environment cultivated by Jason and the other coaches is really excellent. They are all exceptional, experienced athletes, who have been relentlessly encouraging in working with me to make progress on my strength and fitness goals. I have been lifting with GTS for roughly 8 months, and have gotten to participate in multiple team training and nutrition challenges which I found very rewarding. The steady progress I have made has had a huge positive impact on my well-being. I am extremely grateful that I made the decision to check this place out, and I plan to continue to train here and work towards my personal fitness goals for the foreseeable future.

I have trained under Jason for years and I cant recommend him and the coaches at Game Time Strength enough. I have watched him train teenagers all the way up to 60 year old women. He is able to adapt his training to the needs of the client as opposed to a cookie cutter approach like so many professionals out there. Watching a teenager develop self esteem from lifting weights and 60 year old women beaming after picking up 300 pounds are sights to behold. This is what keeps Jason motivated. Jason has helped me through multiple phases of my lifting career and kept me from lifting weight and doing things that I thought were a good idea, but he knew would cause me to injure myself. When I start training under Jason I was in constant pain somewhere in my body. Jason showed me how to train smarter, better, and to make the most out of the time I can devote to the gym.

2022-02-01 23:49:54

I am obsessed. I am new to weight lifting and do not have a lot of experience. The staff here is so knowledgable and friendly. They take a lot of time to make sure your form is correct and that you understand how to activate your muscles. They make weight lifting very fun, exciting and inclusive.The gym is very clean and the equipment is well kept. I cannot wait to see how I grow at this gym!

Jason Kelske and his coaching team have years of experience in all things powerlifting and strength training, as well as helping regular folks get stronger and feel better. The gyms are well-equipped and clean, and the environment is respectful and supportive. Check them out!

Excellent gym if youre focused on learning to lift properly and getting stronger. This was the missing ingredient I need to and to my jiujitsu training. With the little time I’ve been there I feel stronger healthier and more competitive on the mat.Jason and the crew are incredible and very knowledgeable, they always there to help and and answer any questions! Great gym atmosphere!!!!

Great experience! From the outset, they were direct and upfront with how the gym works and had a good system that was easy to implement (even supplying videos to help with technique warmups away from the gym), so there is no wandering about during your workout session. Jason and the rest of the folks at GTS are encouraging and adept at pinpointing fixes with workouts. Never had to wait for equipment, either.

Great experience in every respect!In exploring gyms for my 14yo son, I was neurotic about ensuring he would learn proper technique and receive coaching tailored to him as a young athlete. After six months, I realize we could not have made a better decision than GTS.Jason (the owner) has established a great environment for athletes of all ages to thrive. Each coach demonstrates high levels of expertise, emphasizes technique above all else and makes my son feel extremely welcome.Since joining GTS, my son has made exponential gains in strength. This has translated into better performance in basketball and baseball. While he gained about 12 lbs in muscle, his vertical also went up 3 inches.Finally, there is always a financial element. Going to a non-commercial gym, I was concerned that it could be cost-prohibitive for the long term. To my surprise and delight, the value is outstanding!

Just finished the barbell training camp and it was a bit of an eye opener. I have been lifting for the good part of 40 years and in three days I have learned more about proper mechanics and how leverage it to generate the most power. Jason is highly knowledgeable and has surrounded himself with a highly capable and easy to get along coaching staff. Had I known what I have learned now in my younger years, but it is never to late.Walter G

I joined the gym on the advice of my son, wanting to get stronger after a year of cancer treatment. What I achieved was beyond my expectations. Im stronger now than I was before treatment, and am confident that nothing can stop me from doing the activities that I love to do.Jason and the rest of the Game Time Strength team have created an environment where no one is judged and everyone is supported and encouraged to achieve their goals. Strength training can be an intimating undertaking, but Im more comfortable at GTS than I have been with countless other trainers at other gyms.

Love this gym, gives me old school weight lifting feeling with modern new powerlifting machines and squat racks. The trainers are laid back and always willing to help if you have a question. The ppl who go are often those who know what they are doing with proper biomechanic technique. Wide range of ppl and place is always clean and FINALLY a place where ppl rack the weights in the proper place.

Super awesome place to train and get real hands on and attentive advice on how to improve your lifts. I only did the intro week for $99 but it was well worth it. I got to see where some of my problem habits are and how simple maneuvers can adjust those to help me perform better. The guys, Jason and Denis, are super attentive and helpful. The space is two fold - one room with rigs, the other with more equipment. They have tons of weights and machines, so you definitely wont find yourself without anything to do. Would absolutely love to come back and train with these guys when I can!

I trained at GTS for the past two months and Coach Jason and the other coaches helped me review and correct my form on all the main lifts. I started GTS with the 1 week intensive where I was given 1 on 1 attention for 4 sessions with Coach Jason. The 1 week intensive I highly recommend for anyone interested in getting started or just trying to get a new perspective on their lifts. Overall, I highly recommend GTS and the programming that is given!

There is no way I could fit all that GTS has meant to me and done for me into one small review, but Ill try. This isnt your normal gym; this gym is full of dedicated and knowledgeable trainers, great equipment and even greater community. The amount of attention that Jason, Dennis and Jason give to each client is really remarkable. They will walk you through each workout in the beginning, offer refreshers once youve learned the basic movements, and then provide support and tips for going places you never thought your body could handle. In my five years with GTS, Ive lost a total of 75 lbs., deadlifted 363 lbs. at an actual competition (ask me if I ever thought Id do that!), and made so many new friends. Wherever you are in your training--from complete novice all the way to experienced lifter--GTS will meet you there and take you to new places. Cannot recommend Jason and Co. highly enough.

Great gym with an old school vibe. Barbell gym that has everything you’d need. Really good coaches who genuinely care and all of the members are nice. It’s got a perfect flow of gym goers so it’s never too busy.

Game Time Strength is much more than a personal training service. It is a community of positive, dedicated, health-focused coaches and all levels of gymgoers, from absolute beginners to elite powerlifters. GTS manages to nail the perfect harmony between a group fitness atmosphere and individual coaching. Despite never being a member, the coaches and clients have welcomed me into their family and consistently offer spots, form checks, and general training advice. Whether you have never touched a barbell before or youre a competitive powerlifter looking to push your numbers, Game Time Strength is an A+ choice for advancing your fitness goals.

Great gym! Never crowded due to the reservation system and has lots of bars/benches/racks for powerlifting. Everybody is friendly and Jason is always looking to improve the gym with new/upgraded equipment.

If youre thinking about getting personal training and want to be strong, lean, and in overall better shape, look no further. Jason and his staff are terrific to work with and some of the most knowledgeable folks around when it comes to powerlifting, mobility, nutrition, or just general health. Dont let the hardcore gym facade fool you, GTS is great for trainees of all experience levels, beginner to advanced.

I joined the GTS program in June 2016 without any prior lifting experience. The coaches were encouraging and helpful, showing me how to lift with proper form to avoid injury and gain strength quickly. I was amazed at what my body could do just after a few months. I especially like that the vibe of the gym feels low key and local. Its not a wheatgrass shots and selfies kind of place, but a back-to-basics gym with real people working to achieve personal goals. Highly recommend.

The coach staff and owner Jay are great. Very knowledgeable with strength training, techniques, form and healthy habits. I just finished a 4 week challenge that to keep moving through the holidays. It was a great way to stay accountable during the toughest part of the year and not fall out of training habits I worked to build. It was the first time I stayed on track but still enjoyed the festivities (in moderation)! I was intentional.

I have been lifting for 25 years. I suffered an injury a few years back and was sidelined for a few months. Looking for some motivation I wandered into Gametime and met Jason. Immediately I knew I wanted to train with him. Extremely knowledgeable and downright hilarious and fun to workout with. His infectious attitude spreads throughout intimate gym so everyone shares it. He has successfully created a comaraderie you just don’t find in any other gym. When you factor in the cost of a gym membership, hiring a personal trainer at a minimum of $80 a session, Jason is an incredible bargain at his rates. You simply can’t put a price on his invaluable expertise, and he’s at your disposal literally all week. I can’t recommend Jason highly enough.

Original Review 12/2017:Gametime Strength is the real deal. I attended a barbell workshop and learned so much in just a few hours. Jason is an excellent coach and I’m looking forward to working with him more. If you’re on the fence check out one of the workshops- you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!——————————————-UPDATE: 9/18/18In less than a year, Jason Kelske and Gametime Strength have helped me dramatically increase my strength and improve my body composition. The difference from when I first started is huge! Not only is Jason an accomplished power lifter, he’s a very knowledgeable coach whose nutritional and training advice will help you level up if you’re motivated and follow the program in AND out of the gym. He’s always looking for new ways to engage with his clients and improve their experience - something many so called “coaches” fail to do. The level of attention he gives each client is unmatched - whether you’re coming in with a 600lb or 50lb deadlift you are given the same amount of care and respect... there are none of the bad vibes that you often experience with “trainers” and commercial gyms. If you’re looking to get stronger, look better, or just feel better about yourself I can’t recommend Gametime Strength highly enough. Strength = Confidence and this impacts every aspect of life, from professional to personal. Working with Jason has inspired me to learn the ropes of coaching and at almost 40 years old make a career change in hopes that I can have the same positive impact on others that he’s had on me.

I have been coming to Jason and his team for nearly 5 years now and I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been. When I started I was over weight and not feeling my best. Jason tailored a program for me and it’s worked wonders. I dropped nearly 50 lbs and am as strong as I’ve ever been. I can’t say enough good things about GTS but I can say that Jason had a life long customer.

Three weeks ago, I made a triumphant return to GTS after 6 years away. Prior to that, I trained with Kelske and his staff for 3 years. In that time, I learned what powerlifting was and even put some decent numbers on the bar. Life got complicated and way too much time went by. It was time for me to get strong again and I knew exactly where I needed to be. In some ways I’m starting over. I’m heavier and not as strong. However, after 3 weeks I’m feeling it all start to return — my muscle memory, not quite yet the pounds on the bar. The program designed for me takes into consideration where I’m at currently and leaves room for me to add more weight or reps as my body responds. I’m benefitting immensely from the form checks and cueing for proper form. I’m finding my groove and am well-pleased to be back! If you’re reading this review, you’re curious. Come and check it all out! You’ll be convinced too.

I initially started going to GTS after about a year of regular gym time. It was the first time in my life that I made a point of going to the gym consistently, and I had plateaued. I went to Jason to break past my boundaries, start making goals, and learn how to best see results through proper form and nutrition. Looking back, I cant imagine what my life would be like had I not chosen to learn from Jason and the GTS coaches.The training focuses primarily on form and technique, but Jason and the crew place a huge emphasis on appropriate nutrition and recovery as well. I didnt know much about macros, calories, or meal prepping before training with GTS, but since then, I have become a far more informed and, subsequently, more effective lifter.Beyond that, Ive met some really awesome people there, and everyone is tremendously supportive. Im taking a break for a few months to heal up from some preexisting (unrelated) injuries, but I cant wait to start training under the GTS banner again. If youre looking to skip past the snake oil salesmen, supplement jockeys, tough guys/gals, roid rage, creepy staring, and all the other BS closely associated with big name gyms, GTS is the place to be.Have faith in the program, and put in work.

I’ve been training at GTS for the last 4 months, and I couldn’t be happier. Their expert coaches have instructed me in proper warm-up, form, and technique to help me safely get results! Whatever your goal is, head coach Jason will help you achieve it in a fun, friendly and safe environment.

Game time strength is a great training organization. There is a big difference between exercising and training. And Jason and his staff help provide top quality training. Not only do they help you through form, technique, wod, but they create personalized training schedules/splits/identify specific weights/volume. They try to help you obtain your goals all while cultivating an enjoyable experience in the gym/barbell training in general that will keep you motivated, whether it’s at GTS or elsewhere. I recommend GTS if you are serious about your fitness journey, they will be able to help facilitate you reaching your goals.

I tried out GTS with their one week special. The coaches were all incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. Ive lifted for a while, but under their watchful eye, made a few tweaks to my form. These tweaks completely changed how the exercises felt. If youre serious about powerlifting or getting some of the best coaching there is out there, this is the place to train.

Review №75

2019-06-19 19:21:51

Id say from my experience everything has been top. I came to GTS with a problem and they presented a solution. In terms of pricing, its world class power lifting training with athletes who are proven and committed to the sport and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, its a steal, no matter how you look at it. If that doesnt convince you, get in shape, make more money, keep more money. I think the one downside is the Sunday hours. I have been able to organize my schedule with the remote programming so that I can pay the guys a visit when it counts the most. Id imagine Ill be coming down more as I prepare for Mongers(first competition in Nov of 2019), which is not a problem at all. Ive been bulking up and people have been paying complements on my body transformation. I was 200 lbs in Jan, I weigh 210 today most of which is muscle mass. My squat was 315 lbs when I came in, now Im hitting 360 lbs. 80 percent of the work comes from the commitment to want the change, 20 percent is technical, and GTS offers so much more than that 20 percent. GTS has opened up a door to life transformation for me, what was once a hobby and a way to stay in moderate shape has become a lifestyle and passion, thanks to Jason, Nick, Dennis, and Phil.

When I first walked into Game Time Strength 5 months ago, Dennis asked how I found out about them. I said,Your Yelp game is strong. And now I know exactly why GTS has all 5 star reviews.I came into GTS with a basic knowledge of weightlifting, after having fought the strength training route for a long time. Classic girl, I was worried about getting bulky and intimidated by the weight room. So I stuck to BodyPump and cardio classes at 24 Hour. And guess what, I did not see results. I finally got over my fear of the weight room and starting training free weights on my own, but I kept re-injuring my lower back and wasnt making much progress on my lifts. Since starting at GTS my back pain has significantly improved, and Ive gained strength while dropping 10 pounds.The GTS team is truly amazing. Jason makes himself and his wealth of knowledge available anytime you need him. He listens to my goals and plans my routine around my lower back injury. He is constantly checking in with me, making sure my back is doing ok and that Im staying on track with my nutrition. J Kahn is highly engaged, he looks out for me, critiquing my form, stepping in when I look confused. He is a stickler about form and spends the time to make sure your form is as close to perfect as possible. Dennis has a knack for finding a way to explain form and technique so that it makes sense for whoever is learning. He always has new stretches and ways to work out your injuries.The atmosphere at GTS is welcoming and there is a great sense of camaraderie. I never feel out of place or intimidated; everyone looks out for each other and is willing to give advice and answer questions. I am inspired to try harder every workout because I am in an environment where no one is phoning it in and everyone is dedicated to their fitness goals.Being held accountable for my workout and nutrition, and knowing that Jay and team are keeping an eye on me, is the best motivation I could ask for. It is completely worth the half hour drive I make each way to get to GTS. I have never been a consistent gym goer until I started going to GTS. I actually look forward to my workout knowing that Jay and the crew are expecting me to be there putting in the work. I leave feeling better than when I came in (minus suicide sprint days...).I highly recommend GTS for anyone with any sort of fitness goals. Just go ahead and get rid of your 24 Hr Fitness membership right now. You will not find a better and more knowledgeable group of people.

Want to get really strong? Want to get really strong, using perfect form? How about getting really strong, with perfect form, all while being coached by a truly awesome human? If you say yes to any of the above, sign up with Jason and his crew at GTS right now. Customized programming, gains up the wazoo, and a coach so nice you want to be his friend outside the gym (seriously, the man is hilarious). Maybe the best part about GTS and their programming isnt that you WILL see results, but that these coaches truly CARE about you and what youre after, and they are dedicated to helping you every step of the way.

This place is the real deal. It takes the thinking out of an exercise program. For one, these guys show you proper form, which engages muscles in a way you never thought possible (and Ive been lifting for 15+ years). Second, their custom/personal daily workout routines will absolutely get you to your goals. They will teach you to log your sets and weights to continually develop your personalized program with progression in mind. Lastly, they have two puppies that are so mellow, loving and cute that brighten your day in between sets.

Ive been going to GTS for several years and while I havent been the most consistent gym goer, I always go back. That was very rare before I tried out these guys. The atmosphere is inviting, the trainers and workout buddies are super friendly, and they have lots of good advice that isnt just for powerlifters. They understand that everyones body is built differently and they cater the workouts to fit your goals. I literally told them I just want to look good and theyve taken it from there. Im not going to say that Im a svelte super model now nor am I a hulky woman. But I am fit and happy with my progress. Ive got more confidence in myself and my ability to move heavy objects...mainly moving them up and down...comes in handy with the grocery bags. Check them out, theyre always up for a chat.

To all ladies 50+: If you think you have no more chance to build a healthy and strong body without any joint and lower back pain, you are absolutely wrong. Come and check GTS. Jason Kelske is running this facility. There are two other fantastic coaches Dennise and Jkhan along with himself providing all what you need to get trained to build a strong body as a life style. He actually designs a program that is special to your need. I joined them about 6 months ago, complaining of lower back & knee pain and not having enough energy. My justification was I am working long hours behind my computer, always in traffic, taking care of family and no time for myself. I listened to my friend’s son (21 years old) recommendation to go to GTS. Jason suggested I start with 3 times a week 6 to 7-7:30 AM before I go to work. I committed myself for 2 months at the beginning then 6 months and now for life. The results were unbelievable. Pain actually disappeared the first month, I lost weight. I have more energy and focused at work. I go back to my hiking routine and trips. What really made all that happened was the coaches, the training program just for me and a very, very friendly and supportive environment. You can see all walks of life participate in GTS. There is a great sense of belonging, friendship, support and respect in GTS that have me continue going there with joy.

I LOVE GTS. This gym has been a breath of fresh air that was well needed in my life. I have tried kick boxing, Pilates, and some other workouts, but this is the one I love. I look forward to coming to the gym and I owe that all to the trainers. They are an amazing group of people. They are friendly, dedicated to you doing your best, funny, just an overall great group of people. Also, I don’t think that i have met other members at GTS that I have not liked! Everyone that is a member has been great to talk to. People at this gym are normal people, friendly folks.
