Holy cow this is it, the mother of all gyms, are you tired of waiting for a squat rack at 24? or of a gym filled with teenagers? GTS is the ultimate gym, they have a unique system that lets you reserve a time slot and you arrive to a gym basically to yourself, no crowds, no teenagers just state of the art equipment and yourself, they also offer amazing personalized coaching to help you meet your goals GTS is 10/10
I’ve been going to this gym for about 2 years, and everyone has been amazing! I’ve done 2 competitions with these coaches and have improved tremendously. If you want to achieve your lifting goals and get swol this is the gym for you! Jason is the head coach and he knows everything when it comes to lifting. They will help you every step of the way. The gym was intimidating to me but now it’s fun and I feel like I’m lifting with my friends/fam!
Really great, clean gym with all brand new equipment and the best, supportive trainers in the South Bay. My son started weight training with Coach Jason a few years ago at their El Segundo location and it was great for him to learn the proper techniques for strength and conditioning workouts. Highly recommend this place!
I’ve been a member of several gyms over the years. This is by far the best experience I have had. Extremely clean facility and very friendly, courteous staff. Any and all questions I have ever had were answered within minutes. Never any pressure to get any additional services like a lot of gyms do. The clients that also attend here are very courteous and respectful to your space and time. I highly recommend this place for any level of fitness plans. 5 star gym.
I’ve been training at GTS for years and I can’t recommend them enough. The coaches are more than trainers, they are great shepherds along your strength journey. Over the years, they have helped me improve my technique, mobility, and confidence in lifting heavy weights. They have also been able to adapt my strength programs to account for injuries and keep me progressing. The coaches are always supportive, encouraging, and fun to work with. If you are looking for a place to get stronger, healthier, and happier, game time strength GTS is the place for you!While each of the gyms has their own special traits, this one is a favorite because it’s filled with mirrors so you can monitor your form or check out the shredded bod you’ve built through hard work and dedication.
Highly recommend taking the 3 day master course first to get a feel for the gym and their training style. Ive been consistent with working out for ~5 years and never had anyone work with me on form before. The 3 day master course provided massive value and learned how to correctly do the most important movement patterns. What I loved about the experience is you can FEEL the difference when you do it right. The flexible monthly packages are also great. Never got sense of being sold to, just a bunch of great people who love sharing their passion. Try it out and see if its the right fit for you.
Gym is always very clean, never packed and has great equipment! I’ve tried many gyms in the area and GTS is definitely the best out of the bunch.
Ive been going to GTS for about a year and a half and love it. I go to 2 of the three locations regularly for training and for workouts. The equipment level is great, with everything you could need or want for powerlifting or regular weightlifting. Jason K. (the owner) and the rest of the coaches are great and supportive. Im a competitive powerlifter, but the gyms have every level of users, from beginners on to experienced lifters. Theres a really good feel among the members, a lot of friendly vibes. If youre only going to the gym 2 times a month, its not the place for you. But if you want to go a few times a week or more, get personalized knowledgeable training and meet some nice and interesting folks, this is the place.
My main gym is a different GTS location, but the Redondo Beach location is close to work and its super useful to have an alternate gym to go to when life gets in the way and I cant make it to my primary gym. The equipment at the Redondo Beach location is fantastic. Its all brand new, its great quality and its the right equipment if you intend to become stronger (something I cant say for any commercial gym). Its also spacious enough so that you wont be competing with others to grab a squat rack. Overall this is a great gym and I recommend checking it out!
High level strength program with great coaches. Friendly environment with no crowds. Clean gym, easy parking and all the equipment you need. GTS is focused on building strength the right way. They focus on form, mobility and function, not just moving heavy weight. I highly recommend this gym to build up your strength and to prevent injuries.
This is the best gym experience Ive had.I joined for the privacy and 24hr access, but I stayed for the coaching. The owners have created a positive a positive and supportive environment. Highly recommend this place.
I have been going to GTS for two months with no prior weightlifting or training experience. Jason and his team were very patient with me and teaching to truly understand the form of weightlifting. All of his team are amazing and making sure they found a plan to meet my needs and wants. Cannot recommend this gym enough. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, this is a great place.
I am someone driving all the way from Santa Monica to come to this gym location if that tells you how unique and value-add the service provided is. There is not a similar option of this nature on the West-Side to my knowledge despite a plethora of great gyms.I also already have an existing group class gym membership I religiously attend at 5 am and my own home cable-gym system I use very consistently. However, I was yearning for some proper training on the barbell and weight lifting fundamentals after years of doing my own thing. I was also wanting to ensure that when I do my group classes and personal training where there is weight lifting involved, that I would avoid injuries and continue to keep my back strong. (I have successfully avoided back surgery and eliminated all my pain in the last 2 years!)The best impression was when I first reached out to GTS and started interacting with Jason, the owner. His in-take process was so easy and he is extremely welcoming and communicative. It was super easy to understand what the available options were and he has a very flexible calendar system you can pre-book your reservations with.I decided to jump on the 3-day Barbell Master class and over a couple weeks completed all the fundamentals. It was fun to get a great education on all the essential barbell movements, body mechanics and also get a social hour with nice people and puppies! Its a great way to relieve stress and move after sitting all day at work!I am now excited to add a couple days a week to my overall fitness routine after work where I can go with structure (my biggest motivator) & accessible coaching and good gym equipment to continue improving on my strength! I highly recommend checking out the three GTS locations and getting into a highly structured routine!
This is the third and newest location of the Game Time Strength gyms. I love going to Game Time Strength for both coaching and open gym sessions. I work at a desk and previously felt neck and back pain from constant sitting, but after three months going to this gym I’m feeling great: my posture is better, and I no longer have pain. The coaches are all knowledgeable and fun to be around; coaching sessions never feel like a chore and actually is like hanging out with a great group of people (and cute doggies). I really like the programming — I am the type of person that thrives with structure, so having a well-developed program has really kept me going to the gym consistently. Open gym sessions are great because sign up is limited up to 5 people only at one time; I never have to wait to use equipment, which is rare in LA gyms. I can’t recommend this gym enough.
This is a barbell and power lifting oriented gym that also includes the usual weight machines, dumbbells, kettle bells, and a variety of resistance bands, rollers, and other accessories. Highly recommend the 3-day barbell masters workshop for anyone new to this style of training or wanting a tune up. There are no treadmills or ellipticals, the only cardio equipment is one air bike and one rowing machine. I have seen all kinds of members in this gym including men, women, young people, and older folks. Members get 24-hour access to 4 total gym locations which all have similar equipment, this location in North Redondo plus one in south Torrance, another in downtown El Segundo, and a fourth in Westchester near LAX. Gym visits require a reservation which limits the number of people in the gym at any time so there are never lines or wasted time. A variety of membership options are available ranging from unlimited visit plans which include personal coaching down to single visits without coaching and many options in between. The monthly cost is roughly 5x to 10x more than a big box style gym but for me the quality justifies this additional expense. Unlike big box gyms, the weights are always properly re-racked by members and the facility is carefully maintained and cleaned. Bonus points for Dave the gym dog who visits members taking part in personal coaching!
Great gym in South Bay! I highly recommend the coaching program that Jason has carefully crafted. All of the coaches are incredibly kind and patient and add humor to get you through the challenge. As someone new to weightlifting, this has been a game changer. Just after three weeks I am much more confident in how to use the equipment with the right technique. 10/10 recommend.
I came across GTS while looking for a more powerlifting specific gym compared to my usual commercial gym. I did the 3 day training camp which allowed for 1 on 1 training with various coaches including Jason, while previewing a couple of the GTS gym locations. Jason was a wealth of knowledge himself aside from the other couple of coaches I was introduced to during the camp. Lots of instruction on proper lifting technique and mobility, even finding faults of my technique and mobility.No just adding weight to the bar without learning proper technique first.Great coaching staff and being part of a great lifting community while having 24/7 access to an amazing gym and equipment.
The GTS gyms throughout the South Bay are an absolute dream. They provide just the gym experience I crave - high quality equipment, predictability about being able to do what I planned for the day without long waits, and a helpful supportive community.
I’ve been going for about a year and a half now—Jason and the team have really gotten me back into shape….and even back into competition! I can’t thank them enough
I started at GTS around 4 weeks ago - what an incredible experience. The coaches are super knowledgeable not only in customized work out plans/ nutrition but also the proper way to approach each exercise. Super clean and accessible property with 24/7 access to fit within your schedule. You cant go wrong!
I live in San Pedro and was looking for a small, private gym with all the right (and clean) equipment. I had a home gym, but since moving, I joined a larger gym...and no thanks. I dont want to catch COVID or anything else in these big box gyms.I couldnt find anything up to standard nearby me, so I expanded my search area and landed on Game Time Strength in Redondo Beach. Yes, I commute that distance, but let me tell you, it is so worth it!First, let’s talk about the space. It’s a well sized spot for a private, yet challenge-oriented fitness community. The equipment is new and clean. I know I can get a full body workout here.Secondly, let’s talk about the staff. Everyone is awesome and knows their stuff. Jason is incredibly knowledgeable. He and his entire team are open, welcoming, friendly, and of course, knowledgable.Third, let’s talk about culture. I just finished taking their 3 day bootcamp, which covers barbell fundamentals. Just taking this class alone sealed the deal for me even more. I have been lifting for over 10 years and I recommend this class to any and every person who lifts. Why? Because this team believes in quality over quantity. They also strive to ensure their athletes are healthy, which includes long term ability to lift. They make sure you know which muscles should be engaged in every kind of lift you do and fundamental mechanics that go into every movement. I feel confident in my ability to build myself from here, without the gym bro environment (lifting heavy but incorrectly).If you want to find a spot that supports your goals, lets you build yourself without pressure, and fosters a community of athletes (new or seasoned) that support one another, I recommend you go to GTS. I look forward to being a complete, happy, and satisfied athlete here.
Ive been training with the coaching staff and facilities of GTS for a couple years now, their staff is professional, knowledgeable, and will get your lifting form in competition shape. Their facilities have everything you want and need for serious weightlifting. This has been one of my favorite gyms to train at. And the new Redondo Beach location is all brand new equipment, absolutely love it when you can get the place to yourself and put your music on the speakers.
This gym has it all! Clean facility, great equipment and fun trainers. Before starting my membership, I did the 3-day bootcamp and got to meet the trainers and learn how to do each movement properly. The trainers are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. This gym really has it all and Id recommend for all levels!
Recently joined GTS for individual program design and coaching. Everyone, (both members and coaches) was incredibly welcoming and I deeply appreciate their flexibility when scheduling around my hectic work schedule. 24 hour access is a huge benefit but the coaching is the real value driver. This facility is the newest of the three and has the shiniest equipment but all of their locations are great.
Great place to get even the toughest of the workouts done! All brand new professional grade equipment and very private atmosphere. Also theres always parking space available
I have had a nagging knee injury for years and despite several rounds of PT, it would flare up time and again. I was searching for a PT with training experience to see if I could find the root of the issue when I found GTS’ “master class” on lifting and figured I would try it first.I have been lifting for 20+ yrs across various sports and programming in regular gyms. I thought, at the very least, I knew enough basics to lift properly; I was totally wrong. Within 3 sessions, I learned more than those 20yrs combined and have enough understanding of my knee issues to hopefully fix it for good.Awesome gym setup, great coaches and a team-like atmosphere. Can’t recommend this place enough!
An astonishingly well equipped 24hr gym. Clean, tidy and cared for. Can’t recommend enough!
My new gym closest to home. High end brand new equipment. It’s a new location and it shows. Coaches are great and all of the members are nice and make sure the gym stays clean. Priced well and open 24 hours.
I just finished the 3-day barbell workshop, and it was a wonderful experience! Jason and his team are so fun and personable, and they taught me a lot about working with barbells safely and effectively. They feel like a family, a tight-knit community versus just being a number at a big box gym. I highly recommend the workshop to learn proper form and technique!!
Game Time Strength Redondo Beach is an awesome place to train! I am a 15 year garage gym guy, so I am used to training alone or at least on my own. The open gym appointment option is perfect for me. The equipment selection and quality is top notch! The Strength Company steel plates, Rogue Bumpers and Barbells, and pretty much anything you need for a serious strength and conditioning program. There are even specialty bars (Kabuki Kadillac bar, DL bar, Trap bar) in addition to the power bars and a couple O-lift bars as well. A couple of isolation machines to bro out with to finish (along with DBs up to 100 lbs) and an Echo Bike and a C2 for some HITT. Literally everything I could want. Thanks Game Time Strength!!
Everyone here is so nice and welcoming! I’m new here but they make me feel like I’m already apart of the family :)
This gym has everything you could ask for. Top quality equipment, friendly and welcoming people, and a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you on your personal weightlifting journey. Thank you Jason and GTS!
Excellent environment to take care of yourself and really train. Fantastic team with very kind trainers. Note 10 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I moved from DTLA about a year and a half ago but continued to commute 40-55 minutes from West LA to my CrossFit box in the Arts District because I grew to really enjoy the atmosphere, coaches, and challenging workouts at that location.Unfortunately, I tore my labrum (snowboarding accident) at the end of November and had to cancel my membership until I recovered.Although I feel comfortable enough to start lifting again, I didnt think jumping back into CrossFit would be a good idea. I wanted to find a gym that could help me ease my way back into lifting without risking further injury.Lucky for me, I came across Game Time Strength which was only a few minute commute from my house. Boy, am I glad that I did... I was recommended to take the 3-day Masterclass to make sure my form was perfect before getting back to the heavy lifting. I just wrapped up my 3rd day today and Im extremely impressed by the entire experience. Jason and his staff are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and accommodating. They listened to all my concerns and helped me master the movements without risking injury to my shoulder.Not only that, but Ive learned more about proper form and mental cues in these 3 sessions than I did in the year and a half at my CrossFit box.Like I said before, I really didnt want to leave my old box because I enjoyed the atmosphere and friends that I made but Jason and the crew at Game Time Strength made the transition seamless and made me feel as if Ive been a regular there for years.Ive already signed up for a monthly plan consisting of a combination of Open Gym + Custom Programming & Coaching.With my new key (24-hour access to all 3 locations) and GTS gear in hand, I cant wait to see what Jason and his staff has in store for me!
GTS has been my home away from home for a couple years now and Im stoked that they have opened this facility in Redondo. This location has all new equipment and everything I need for a complete powerlifting training program. The coaches at GTS are awesome too, so whether you just work out here or start a training program with them, I cant recommend it highly enough
No crowds and excellent equipment. There is a reservation system so that at most 5 people are in the gym at a time. Most days I am the only one. Jason also is a world-class coach who has set me up with solid lifting fundamentals.
Epic little gym, Not big crowds. All the equipment I need to get the job done. 5 stars!
This is my 2nd go around with GTS. And I’m thrilled to be back! This facility is brand new and very close to my home. It’s got all the equipment you need to get strong! It’s also got a bunch of extra toys that lifters only dream of. Kelske is a pro at getting his athletes strong in a healthy way. His staff is knowledgeable and the cues they give before, during and after lifts are so easy to apply. I have lifted in a bunch of places in the SouthBay and GTS is special. Come and get strong, you won’t regret it!
Excellent gym. Friendly and inviting. After not lifting for almost 6 years, I decided to get real coaching and have yet to regret it. The herculean staff will help you meet your goals while keeping you safe. Even the gym dogs are jacked.
I love it here, the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I started from virtually no lifting experience, and with the help of the coaches I believe I’ve made significant progress. I can’t wait to move back here and work out at GTS again!
So glad this location opened in my neighborhood! Ive been going to a nearby large commercial gym but wanted to get back to a smaller gym setting with people who really know what theyre doing. The new location just opened and its clean with all new equipment. Lots of racks and benchs but also a good mix of machines, cables, and some cardio so you wont be lacking for options!
I started taking classes here a month ago and it’s been a great experience so far. Knowledgeable coaches, good equipment, and limited slots each hour so you know it won’t be overcrowded. Great environment to get some work in and have some fun.
I absolutely love all the coaches here! They always take the time to answer my questions, give helpful feedback, and are super supportive. Its very clean and the equipment is amazing. I always look forward to coming and working out with everyone here!
This gym is really a hidden gem! Jason is amazing and super helpful. Very welcoming and high quality gym overall with great staff to keep your form clean.
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.
I love this gym. Excellent trainers, multiple locations, clean facilities, plenty of equipment, great community. I could go on and on. Give it a try!
This is my favorite gym. Amazing equipment and never crowded! It’s like its your private gym. Also the staff is super helpful
Hidden gem with brand new equipment and friendly staff. Wholistic approach to training and getting to the next level. So much better than waiting for weights at a big box gym
Amazing gym, all of the coaches are super helpful and friendly. I ended up doing the training camp and wow was it worth it!!
Great place to workout! Everyone is super friendly, and all the coaches are very helpful! Strongly recommend!
Best powerlifting gym in the South Bay. With access to 3 private locations it can’t get better than that.
Lots of equipment, clean space and exceptional coaching. Couldn’t ask for a better gym experience!
Great gym and great staff!
Great facility. Everything you need. Always clean. No waiting for equipment.
Love this gym. Wont go back to any regular gym . Worth the membership
Very clean and open gym. Great spot to workout and not be bothered.
State of the art equipment and a very friendly owner and coaching staff. No better place than right here in LA.
Great equipment, great coaches, great gym.
Quality equipment, great people and never crowded.
I joined GTS back in November 2023 and I’m so glad I did. Great facilities, awesome trainers, and I’m stronger than ever.

2024-06-13 19:27:10If youre looking for a convenient, professionally-run strength training place, look no further. Fantastic facility - clean, organized, friendly, and straight to the point with no unnecessary frills. You feel like youre part of a community of like-minded people all seeking better fitness through weight training, from teens to older folks. No one is an expert, everyone is a learner.Coaching was superb - efficient and effective, with a focus on form first then progressing safely. Special shout-out to Phil, Jared, Dennis and Jason for my 3 coaching sessions; they reinforced techniques I already have been practicing, quickly identified areas to improve, plus added in some new stuff I didnt know.The booking system and communication are first rate, and they bent over backward to help me put together a flexible one-month program during a short duration stay here in South Bay area. Never crowded during training, due to an easy online booking system with personal access 24/7. Love this place!

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth, largely thanks to the exceptional hospitality of the owner, Jason. His personal touch truly makes you feel like part of the family.The facilities at GTS are top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and well maintained. Whether youre a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, theres something here for everyone.In summary, I cannot recommend GTS highly enough. If youre looking for a gym where youll not only achieve your fitness goals but also feel like part of a close-knit community, then look no further!

2024-04-24 00:44:45Started going to GTS Redondo just after they opened in 2022. I opted for the intro barbell program where you work 1:1 with a trainer to go through each of the primary barbell lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, overhead) along with a multitude of other lifts. The coaches are very knowledgeable about technique and overall great to work with. GTS operates on a reservation system, so it’s never too busy which is amazing. Would highly recommend to any gym goer looking to level up 👍🏻

2024-03-02 20:23:59Fantastic gym. The equipment is new and clean, and they have everything a lifter needs for a great workout.Semi-private, so theres never more than a few people in there, and sometimes you even get the place to yourself.Everybody is respectful and keeps the place clean and tidy (rare for a gym).Highly recommend!

2024-06-26 00:40:50I came back to GTS after three years of living in the Bay Area and it is even better than I remember it! The Redondo Beach location has all very nice brand new equipment and the always amazing coaching staff!

2024-02-13 02:13:38Great gym with great coaches. As an intermediate lifter not interested in workout classes, there weren’t many options in the area. Got so lucky to find Jason and the team. Learned a ton and facilities offered everything I needed.
Review №7
2024-01-18 05:57:00GTS coaches are masters in strength training, catering to both beginners and seasoned athletes. I absorbed a wealth of knowledge in just a few days. Special kudos to Phil and Alex for their expertise and positive vibes. No doubt, the South Bays finest—theyve boosted my confidence in my training journey. If youre thinking about GTS, take the leap! Your muscles will express gratitude! 💪💪

2024-03-29 16:04:06It’s been two week using this gym.When I registered, staff members were super cool and kindly explained packages as well as facilities.So far enjoying it and best part is 24/7 access and i can access all over the branches. Highly recommend

2023-03-30 13:37:09It’s always a little scary and Intimidating to join a new gym, but I immediately felt comfortable when I went to GTS. All the coaches are so nice, they genuinely want to teach you and help you get the best form and technique down to unlock your lifting potential. I’ve been at this gym for a few months and the coaching schedule has been so flexible that I can go before or after work, and they have multiple locations in the area to go to!
Review №10
2023-11-03 19:03:54The gym is clean with plenty of equipment and is remarkably convenient from anywhere with 405 fwy access. Ive loved coming here since I started my weightlifting journey but I didnt realize how good I had it until I heard other friends share stories of their own gyms: people arguing over equipment, invading each others space, or trying to use the gym as a pick-up spot. It never even occurred to me that these things happen at gyms because of my experience at GTS: the coaches are nice without being soft, and push you to be your best while still listening to what you think works for you. The other lifters are there to lift and make their own progress, not work-out unresolved childhood trauma, and the longest Ive ever waited for a machine is about 45 seconds for the leg press. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
