An awesome place to begin, grow, and flourish in your fitness journey! It has been a while since my fiancé Alyssa and I had focused on fitness and when you're trying to find your way back, sometimes it’s hard figure out where to start and navigate towards your fitness goals and that's when we joined HSC. About a year ago, we initially began with Coach Austin and eventually we were paired up with Coach Nikki! I had an opportunity to train with Coach Austin many years ago before HSC, and it was as much a community then as it is now. Right from the get go, you feel a a noticeable difference in the feel and vibe of the gym. Everyone, no matter coach or member, is welcoming and encouraging and you just feed off that positivity. Every person is genuinely enjoying training here. It has been a very comprehensive experience. From starting off with a trial to see what we were getting ourselves into, to discussing and evaluating where we were physically, to talking about our fitness goals, and guidance on diet. Coach Austin got us started on a great foundation. We’ve been with Coach Nikki for a little over 7 months now! She has been nothing short of awesome. She has been very wonderful to work with as she makes workouts challenging and different every session. Coach Nikki is very attentive to details and tailors workouts not only to what we like but also what she sees from us that needs improvement. For me it was my ankle mobility and stability. She researched and incorporated stretches, warmups, and workouts that helped strengthen that issue. Additionally, she is always looking into latest research into how people are training and why, a well as sharing her experiences in fitness along the way. Coach Nikki’s fun, energetic personality make it a joy to work with her!

HSC is an amazing place to start and develop your fitness goals! This gym has been one of the best fitness experiences I've had. I'm in the Personal Training program with Nick and it has been amazing! I've never done Personal Training before, but this has made it easy and so welcoming. His expertise, dedication, and friendliness gives a positive environment to build yourself no matter what level you are at. The program is truly personalized to my fitness and goals and has tremendously made me more confident and knowledgable in strength training. I have definitely noticed all the progress that we've been working on. Everyone else here from the coaches and clients are also friendly and welcoming that creates just an overall great community to be apart of. If you're looking for a gym that has personal training, group classes, online classes, and more with amazing trainers that can work with your fitness goals and any level, check out HSC!

HSC has been a great experience for me! This was my first gym I truly committed to and it’s all thanks to my trainer Nick. He’s a great coach and really breaks down every detail for our workouts and is always available to answer any questions I have whenever I’m training on my own. This gym has been a great investment for me and I love that the environment of the gym and staff are very welcoming and uplifting. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to start out their fitness journey in a safe space. :)

This is a really great gym! As others have mentioned, the staff is super super incredible: very professional, friendly, and motivated. Their coaches are great teachers, and they really push you to do your best. I have learned so much from them about power lifting techniques, which is awesome. Every session is super fun, and going to HSC is the highlight of my week!

I’ve been working with Shane for several months and what a difference it’s made to my health. When I was younger and had the time and focus, I used to work out regularly. Fast forward 20 years and my cardio was shot, strength was way down and overall I was feeling out of shape and unbalanced. I figured I needed to do something now because it’ll only get harder. I looked around for a place that wouldn’t be intimidating but was a serious gym. After meeting Shane we went over my goals and he designed a custom program to help me achieve them. 3 months later, 40lbs lighter, lean muscle mass has gone up significantly and my cardio is hugely improved. I feel stronger, look better, and am motivated to work out. It’s been a game changer and maybe a literal life saver.

I’ve been coming to HSC for a few months now and I work out in a semi private class with coach Shane and I love it so much! My fitness was pretty directionless for a few years and it’s so nice to have steady progress and great feedback to work with now. Shane has also been great at creatively working with an old shoulder injury of mine, and it’s so exciting to not be held back by it!

Can't say enough great things about HSC. My daughter has been doing semi-private group training with Shane for over a year now, it has been invaluable to her progress as an athelte preparing for the collegiate level. I have also now joined semiprivate training with Shane, to meet overall health goals. The knowledge, support and attention to detail when it comes to planning out the workouts is unmatched. Not to mention the positive atmosphere and over all KIND HUMANS!! Thank you

This gym has such a fun and supportive atmosphere! All the coaches are so welcoming and personable. No egos, no judgement and everyone here just wants to genuinely support each other’s fitness journey. I signed up for the small-group classes with Coach Shane and he is truly an amazing coach. He’s very knowledgeable , encouraging and always makes sure you’re doing the proper form. He puts together a programming that challenges you and helps reach your goals. I highly recommend joining!

I have been coming to this gym since March 2022 and have been pleased with my experience thus far! The trainers are incredibly attuned to those they are training, and offer good laughs as well! You can tell this isn’t just a gym, but a community of health enthusiasts, fitness nerds, and on top of that, good music too! Since training here I have been feeling so much stronger in my body, more disciplined in my attitude, and overall happier with how I’m dancing! 10/10 would recommend this place!

Coach Brittany and the crew at HS&C have been an integral part of my strength, conditioning and mobility program. I started working with Coach Brittany in January 2021 and each week we meet to work on my personal goals. Her background in kinesiology and massage is extra helpful during my workouts and recovery. Coach Brittany has been a huge part of my success and well being the past 6 months! I highly recommend HS&C to anyone, of any level! This gym is SO supportive and you can see/feel the good vibes from everyone here!

This is my first gym I've ever joined, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I'm a complete beginner, but Coach Austin was super patient with me, and he even tailored the workouts to my personal needs. Whenever I went skiing on the weekends, he would change the workouts during our personal training sessions to recover (or prepare) from skiing. Austin has so much expertise and knowledge on lifting safely and anatomy and diet strategies. He is super relatable and has a great sense of humor (check out his TikTok and Instagram pages!) Austin is also very flexible and adjusts to my schedule. I can easily reschedule my personal training sessions with him, if something comes up in my personal or work life. I can text him any questions I have. He uses Google Calendar to keep organized, which I truly appreciate because I live by my Google calendar. He also assigns me home workouts through an app, so I can stay consistent with my routine, and he also recommends what foods I should eat, so I can build muscle mass. The gym has all the equipment I need to start off lifting, and it is super close to my house. All the staff members are super kind, and the vibes are just great (chill and lowkey vibes). There is a small outdoor space in the back, and doing outdoor cardio on a sunny day is amazing. They play classic movies on the TV , and play classic music (R&B, rock, pop) which I love. I felt supported, and not shamed, as a beginner who is just trying to be more active and build a little bit of muscle mass. They offer a free trial session that includes an assessment of your body (weight, diet habits and everything). I'm sad to be moving away and changing gyms, but I can't wait to visit! Personal training with Austin has been overall great and I highly recommend! 5 stars!! :)

I train with Nicole, and she is a great mentor. She pushes me to progress gradually, making sure I am aiming for the right amount and degree of the training. Everyone in the gym is very friendly, which creates a comfortable, non-judgemental environment for others.

If you’re looking for a gym that actually cares about your success AND is cool as hell, look no further and go to HSC. Their hero theme makes them so unique and fun while still getting a killer workout. Kenneth (Ken) is an amazing instructor who focuses on your goals and helps you achieve them. He sends me daily workouts and guides me to a diet to achieve my body goal. He’s also very detailed during workouts and I’ve improved my form and strength in a little over a few weeks. If you’re looking for a welcoming community who gets stuff done and having a great time doing it, I’d highly recommend checking out HSC for yourself

UPDATE 3/2022: I have been going to Hyper Strength & Conditioning for almost a year now. I have gotten the strongest I have ever been in my life. Working with Coach Kenneth has been amazing as he is always there hyped up ready to give you a killer workout and support your gains & goals. Going to this gym and working with Coach Kenneth has been an amazing experience for me as I continue to set new PR's weekly and get in the best shape of my life. Thank you to Coach Kenneth and all the other coaches at HSC Gym for the amazing workout atmosphere you all have provided to me this past year during these trying times! ---------------- Good gym, even better trainers. Fantastic atmosphere. Good vibes.

I entered a 6 month semi-private training with them and during the whole time there was absolutely wonderful! The coaches there are so energetic/optimistic/fun! Especially Nicole, she was my trainer. I’ve never worked out after high school so I never knew how to do certain exercises like deadlifts and so so much more. Nicole is always encouraging me to do more, she is so patient and understanding with me whenever I worked out. She’s also great at small talk so it’s never awkward. Shane also trained me for a week while Nicole was gone, he was also patient and a great guy to talk to. Although the prices are a bit steep, they have different options and multiple classes for you to choose/join. I love both the coaches and their gym there. Highly recommended.

Dropped in from out of town for a noon workout and my wife and I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. This box is huge, has all the toys you need for a great variety of exercises, has beautiful bathrooms, and is clean and professional. If you live in the area, join this gym!! If you are looking to drop in, go check this out! Thanks for a great visit!

Hyper strength and conditioning is hands down the best gym i’ve ever been to. Philip, Simon, Jessi, Gabe and all the other coaches at the gym have been exceptional through out my time here. The amount of time, and dedication that each and every coach puts into their work out is unparalleled. I could not recommend this gym enough. Everyone here is dedicated to helping you reach your fitness goals.

Just started here recently. I love the atmosphere, the coaches are all awesome! And the gym goers all have a positive mentality about them. Very convenient times! In addition, the gym has contests and fun challenges.

This is a little gem of a place. The people are so friendly and nice. I had never lifted weights at a rack so was looking for a PT, Austin has been fantastic listening and tuning the program. Has been super accommodating and flexible for my crazy schedule too. 10/10 would recommend

I have been going to HSC for a few months now and the experience has been great. Shane is great to work with and his training has helped me improve my health a lot. When we first met he asked me about my goals and we designed a plan and he walked me through it. He always explains any workouts we are doing demonstrating the proper form which helps me get the best out of it.

I always feel welcome at HSC. As a non athlete with less traditional fitness goals I was intimidated to join a gym but I am so glad that I did. Nicole is an amazing coach (so is Jessie! I worked with him a few times) and the rest of the staff are friendly and encouraging. Thank you to everyone at HSC for creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for me to learn about lifting and build strength at my own pace.

I have been working with Coach Shane at the gym for the last couple of months in small group sessions. It has been a great experience with clear goals and a varied exercise regimen witch keeps the workouts fresh and interesting. Everyone is very welcoming at the gym and I look forward to each one of my sessions!

Best of Bay Area! Especially for those with injuries or nuanced needs!! I’ve worked with both Austin and Anthony, and you can tell they love what they do. They exude an excitement for life and wanting to help. I’ve had back and hip issues for YEARS and they have shown me exercises that absolutely are helping me get better. Highly Highly recommend!!!

Hands down one of the best gyms I’ve experienced in my life. If you’re looking for a gym where the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive of your individual fitness goals then this is it. I’ve been coming here for two months now and the HSC staff are experts in all aspects of strength training and are dedicated to helping you achieve your personal best. Shoutout to Austin, Phillip, Nicole, and Kolin for leading the best small group classes!

I have been driving with my partner every week from Palo Alto to this gym to train in power lifting. It's been over a month now and I feel great! I am much more confident to go to higher weights when doing deadlift, squats, and bench presses!

Shane has inspired my son to be more disciplined and body conscious with his health and nutrition. He is an easy going coach and positively motivating as well! Shane has helped my son readjust and recharge after playing a 4-5 game weekend baseball tournament. My son is dedicated to taking care of his body because of the support and encouragement he receives from Coach Shane!

Good quality equipment, awesome coaches, and a friendly environment filled with laughter! Coach Daniel helped my wife and I get back on track with our fitness. Every workout was challenging and tailored to our needs. We both feel stronger and more energetic, even my wife’s chronic back pain subsided. Really appreciate all of your help, Coach Daniel!

I’ve been working out with Coach Shane for 9 weeks for sprint mechanics and football, and I’m impressed with some of the immediate results on-the-field. Coach Shane’s attention to detail, quality care, and communication are great! We recently just pinpointed some issues with my mechanics and he’s been having me work on fundamentals to progress through it. He really cares and values his athletes play well and long term health, so there’s a huge emphasis on mobility and plyo. Furthermore the gym has everything I’ve ever needed in terms of equipment in a gym. It’s clean. Staff are great. And they’re making it theirs. They also play awesome movies.

Been working out with Shane for a month or so. Nothing but a positive experience. He listened to my needs and wrote a program that has eased me back into working out safely while focusing on mobility and strength. They have an Inbody Scanner? that helps you quantify body progress with data vs going off “vibes”. Everyone is welcoming and positive. I never feel uncomfortable or out of place there. The team is very approachable and willing to spend time explaining proper movement and form.

Formerly San Jose Barbell, the new owners have done a great job in adding new functional workout outdoor area. Good range of classes as well as ability for individual workouts

The place and staff are awesome. Even if you don't have a personal trainer the general trainers are very supportive. All the equipment is cleaned and sanitized after each use. The ambiance and music made me feel enthusiastic. I got my body shaped here. The service was exceptional. Five-star service!

I just recently started going to HSC and it's a decision that I am so glad I made! Not only does every single staff member do their part in making newcomers feel welcome, but they also are so motivating and friendly! I am pretty into all things comic book related and seeing all their decor makes me feel at home. No judging, no people hogging equipment or too busy looking at themselves in the mirrors taking selfies. Just good ol hard work, motivation, inspiration, and fun. I highly recommend checking this place out and talking to any one of their coaches. You can look online all you want at the programs or classes, but actually going in person and talking to someone with your goals is an experience you won't regret. Go now and fulfill your glorious purpose!

I was in town visiting my family, and I heard that HSC was a fantastic gym. See, I’m from Los Angeles and workout at Nerdstrong Gym. HSC seemed to offer similar programming with a nerd atmosphere, and I wanted to be there. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they do indeed have a very happy, welcoming and nerd-tasting atmosphere. Their equipment is great, their coaching staff extremely knowledgeable, and Austin the owner is just down to earth, funny, and easy to be around. It was easy to see how that attitude carried across to his staff and his membership. My favorite part? When a new person comes in for a class, a coach works with them that first day. I signed up for Olympic Weightlifting, and Kolin the Coach helped me work on the Snatch, which is always been tricky for me in general. It was a pleasure to work with him as he broke down the movements, and he paid attention to my knee, which has been tricky lately. It’s just the kind of experience I get at Nerdstrong, and I was over the moon to get this experience at HSC. I highly recommend them for anyone pursuing fitness on any level. Can’t wait to see them again the next time I’m in town.

Loving HSC and its new location, makes getting in a good workout and a great walk in super easy. After about 6 months, I've seen huge changes to not only my overall physical health, but my mental health as well. So grateful that Austin is my trainer and that his staff makes me feel welcome.
