Gladiator Strength and Conditioning

This place is an awesome spot to train Strongman, Powerlifting, or Olympic Weightlifting. Coach Nate has so much knowledge in all three sports! He definitely will put you where you want to be competitively or even just general fitness wise. This gym is USAW and USPA affiliated and is the LARGEST STRONGMAN GYM in Southern California! Not to mention the camaraderie and support from EVERYONE in the gym, big lifts or just starting out, they are there to suppor t you all the way!

From the first day I stepped into this gym I became family. I was welcomed with smiles, support and energy that I have never felt before in a gym. Gladiator strength is a independent gym owned by Nate and Lindsey Small, two competitive strength athletes and coach with years of experience and knowledge under their belts.
I found this gym looking for strongman training for my partner. They initially were located in central San Diego and now have moved to Chula Vista. It’s located in a business warehouse park behind target in between all the Mexican bodegas and shops. Before I even went inside I was really curious to see how they would manage to put a gym in this area. Once I stepped inside I was a kid in a candy store there are:
–squat racks
–a variety of competitive and high end barbells at your disposal
–deadlift platforms (6 total)
–competition squat rack and bench
–strongman equipment (tires, atlas stones, yolk rack, log, sand bags, kegs, Viking press)
–standard barbell plates and rubber Olympic plates.
–Dumbbells
–sleds
–bands and mobility equipment
–chalk bowls
Gladiator is USPA and USAW certified and a strength and conditioning gym. There are no cardio machines but there are a variety of other machines to hit your upper and lower body for your accessory work.
When I have time and I’m able to come here it’s always a blast. I’ve become a more focused and aggressive athlete thanks to gladiator. When you have a room full of people who stop what they’re doing just to cheer you on when what feels like weight of the world is on your back or in your hands you dig deep and give it all you got.
There is something here for everyone from Olympic lifting, to powerlifting to strongman and just general fitness.
So, if you’ve never touched a barbell in your life but you want to learn how to lift? Believe me you will learn how to here.
If you’re a seasoned lifter who likes it raw and dirty?
Show em what you got and I guarantee you’ll want to come back for more.

Best Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Strong Man, and Olympic-​lifting gym for ALL of your needs. To the gym equipment, the environment, to the guy that runs the gym. AWESOME! Nothing but serious lifters having a good time and achieving their goal (s). I STRONGLY suggest checking out the gym and actually signing up. The pricing is straight up. Not like your commercial gym (s) where you have to pay for a initiation fee and the 1^st and the last month bullshit. It’s literally straight up month by month. Even the coaching program (s) straight up! The coach (guy that runs the gym (Coach Nate) has been doing all the events that I listed above for over 20 years! I’m dead serious guys. The gym is growing and growing day by day. Worth every penny!
