Hyper Strength and Conditioning

This gym is amazing! I was just in town for a day, but it was my highlight in San Jose. Colin gave personal attention to everyone in our small strength workout group, checking our form and giving feedback after each set. The stretch session with Michelle right after was perfect, more people should take advantage of the stretching!

I’ve been working with Shane and Anthony for over 3 months now and have already noticed a significant boost in my overall physical and mental wellbeing. Both coaches are extremely approachable and knowledgeable and the exercises are designed in a way that’s fun yet challenging. Moreover, they pay close attention to form and are quick to point out changes that ensure that I am getting the most out of the work that I put into the gym. What really sets this gym apart is the fantastic atmosphere and the great people that I workout with. Everyone is super welcoming and encouraging and I look forward to my time at the gym every week. This is by far the best gym in the South Bay and I would recommend it to anyone, irrespective of where they are on their fitness journeys.

I started doing semi-private sessions with Coach Shane in Oct'23. Gym Atmosphere 5/5: This is the most welcoming gym I've ever experienced. I always feel comfortable, safe, and supported by the entire staff. I genuinely look forward to my sessions. The HSCG community is diverse, kind, and strong! Coaching 5/5: Shane is the perfect coach for my needs. He always takes an assessment of energy/condition before beginning the session and adjusts the program if needed. He seems to have a solid understanding of body mechanics and can often answer specific questions I have about a movement or pain. I always feel like I can tell him if I don't feel comfortable with an exercise and he works with you to find an alternative. Just the best!

I started with Shane at HSC 6 months ago with near zero strength from a rough pregnancy and awful post partum issues, feeling decades older in my body. Shane taught me to set meaningful goals for improvement, and discouraged me from seeking fast results or being overly focused on numbers. He always has our routine planned, is 100% supportive while also challenging me physically and mentally. I walk away from every session feeling exhilarated and have come to actually look forward to my workouts, not to mention the night and day difference I feel in my strength and confidence. Could not recommend him more!

Best strength training gym ever. I have been at HyperStrength for about a year and this review is long overdue. Coach Anthony is the most knowledgeable person I have met on strength training. My back had been deteriorating due to slight Scoliosis and disc bulge. The problem with our backs is that they degenerate over time so if I don't do anything to strength it, it basically turns into jelly if your 9-5 job involves sitting in a chair all day. So counter intuitively, you have to strengthen it somehow. With my condition, I couldn't even do a plank for 10 seconds or even do a few situps or deadbugs. It led to extreme pain in lumbar and basically had to give up. I tried many gyms and even good trainers told me to give up. But I couldn't give up because... well our backs denegerate over time so for me it would be even worse. Anyway searching Google and YouTube I came across strength training as an option (counter intuitively) where sport doctors explained this can help strengthen the lower back. Recommend checking out Austin Baraki's channel on YouTube. Started looking for a local gym and I ran into Hyper Strength and Anthony. He is like a PhD in strength training. He also has trained athletes in the past so his repertoire is like 1000x a normal trainers. Really love working with him! We started off with body weight exercises including corrective ones designed for my body specifically. He also introduced variations of core exercises I had no idea about.These exercises allowed me to build my core without hurting my lower back which was huge. The main item we have been focusing on are the standard deadlifts and squats. I just hit my PR last two weeks on both and am at 1.5x (that's right 1.5x) my body weight which is crazy for someone who has these back conditions. So for me Anthony is not just a coach, but a friend. He took such great care of me when I was in difficult times and dealing with constant back issues. The gym is really awesome and they lots of great coaches (shout out to Gabe and Shane). Strongly recommend Hyper Strength!
