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!

HSC is an amazing place to start and develop your fitness goals! This gym has been one of the best fitness experiences Ive had. Im in the Personal Training program with Nick and it has been amazing! Ive 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 weve 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 youre 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!

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!

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

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!

The place and staff are awesome. Even if you dont 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 its 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 wont regret. Go now and fulfill your glorious purpose!

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 youre trying to find your way back, sometimes it’s hard figure out where to start and navigate towards your fitness goals and thats 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!

I usually don’t write a lot of reviews but I really wanted to write about Jessie. He has been my coach at HSC - now has become more like a close friend. Great personality, humble but quite inventive. He knows when to push you and when to back off.He has been working with me for well over a year (all through COVID). When I started with him - he immediately found a lot of posture related issues that I had to fix. He put together a regimen to help me fix them. Can you imagine how difficult this is to do remotely but he certainly managed to do this for me. Now that the gyms have opened up - I have been working out in the gym - and I find a world of difference in how I’m lifting - without hesitation I’ll credit this to Jessie.I’ll also add that he will not overwhelm you with a thousand things that you need to fix, he will focus on one important fix and make sure you get it right before moving on.HSC in general a welcoming, encouraging place - thanks to coaches and other members alike - where you can advance your health related goals at your own pace.

HSC is awesome and has been a lifesaver during the COVID pandemic. The gym gives me a place to lift heavy weights (I dont have a barbell and plates at home!) and focus on improving my health and fitness. My trainer (Nick) is super knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, and hes excellent at putting together a weekly program that challenges me at just the right difficulty level and pace.

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.

Awesome facility with knowledgeable coaches Anne staff. Superb coaching and friendly relaxed environment. Really enjoy the theme in this gym. The workouts are challenging and pushes you to be at your best when they have PR week. They also do outside gym functions like cookouts and softballs/flat football games to name a few. I would definitely join again if I lived closer! Coach Austin is a top-notch world class coach and human being!

Ive been going here since the beginning of this year and I have to say, this is by far THE best gym Ive ever been to. The staff is super friendly and very supportive. The vibe here is amazing and you can really tell that the HSC team is a family.I went with the one on one option for training and it has been life changing. Before, I was working out, having a good time, and seeing results but then I plateaued and stayed there. Once Anthony finally got me in the gym, it was a done deal! This is easily the most healthy and athletic Ive been in my life! I cant wait for what the future has in store for my fitness journey!Lastly, If youre a nerd like me. This place is for you. I can nerd out with basically everyone here and not be judged for it!

This gym is awesome! All levels are welcome!! The owner and staff welcome you with open arms; so there’s no need to be afraid! Each coach is experienced and very knowledgeable; so you don’t need to worry about getting injured. I know it’s super intimidating sometimes getting back into the workout flow, but everyone is super helpful! There are different classes from conditioning to strength and the coaches will breakdown each and every workout planned. If you’re looking for a gym that feels like a family, this is the place to be!! Highly recommend this gym!

Went through circuit training. The gym may be small but it has everything youd need. Folks there were very encouraging and upbeat.

This is such a great facility. They offer body scans that really hone in on things that your standard scale wont tell you. The conditioning classes are challenging, and after a little over a month, Ive already noticed an increase in my energy, strength, and stamina. Everyone here is personable and knowledgeable. If youre looking for a supportive environment for your fitness journey, I highly recommend HSC.

Coach Ivy is one of the most genuine, fun, energetic human beings youll ever meet. If you want to be trained by someone who will motivate you, give you a personalized experience, and make time for you, look no further. Ivy is booked out for a reason- She gives people a transformative workout that will help you reach whatever goals you may have.She really takes the time to listen, assess your needs, and make a plan that will work out with your schedule. She has years of knowledge and fitness experience under her belt. Despite only seeing her a few times a week, Ive already made a huge amount of progress on my lifting and my body composition.Its always intimidating stepping foot into a foreign gym where you dont know the people or how to use the equipment. Ivy makes this process so much easier and less intimidating- I felt so comfortable with her! I highly recommend Ivy if youre looking for trainer who knowledgable and will help you throughout your fitness journey every step of the way.

Ive been training with Coach Austin since 2010 at another gym. A lot has happened in 8 years, he got his own gym, I moved an hour and a half away from SJ. But I will still go to him for a session when I can even though it is really out of the way.The thing that I love about this place is that Austin knows how to make a community, and make each person that trains with him feel that they can achieve their goals. Thats what makes me always come back. I have never known a coach as dedicated, hardworking, and selfless.The facility is a geeks dream. I love that its almost like a playground of fun. Their staff are so accommodating and helpful (thanks Micah for always finding the expo markers for me!)Thanks Austin and staff for everything!

I was a member of Hyper Strength & Conditioning from 2016-2017 back when I was still living in San Jose and I really wish a branch would open up in LA already!Austins style of coaching is very versatile and well tailored to each individuals fitness goals. I had a chance to try out the weight lifting class and the conditioning class, which I both enjoyed even as a beginner. Each day there are different circuits to keep classes fun and interesting. In addition, Austin offers modifications for different levels to ensure each members needs are met. In other words, you wont ever feel intimidated because the exercises are too hard.Its easy to get hooked on going to this gym because theres a strong team mentality, where members continuously push one another to do better. Its all about improvement and everyone sincerely wants you to succeed. If I ever move back to San Jose, I will be sure to become a member here again.

Austin and Hyper Strength and Conditioning has really come through for me during these trying COVID-19 times. As a person who enjoys exercising in a social gym setting, the cancellation of all my in-person classes was a hard pill to swallow. HSC quickly set up a SIP Zoom weekly schedule and got everyone right back into the workout groove. Austin is powerhouse producing workout-from-home video content, launching challenges, sharing healthy eating resources and creating virtual gatherings, keeping the community active and engaged and welcoming both HSC members and non-members on this quarantine journey.The best thing that I can do for myself during these times is to have full control over my physical health and HSC is hand in hand helping me with that, helping me set healthy goals and elevating my sanity level. I cannot thank the team enough for their support during these times and would highly recommend HSC to anyone who wants to up their health and lifestyle game.

Review №35

I started coming here last year May 2016 and didnt know what to expect. I am actually intimidated by gyms once I see all the muscle peeps weight lifting and showing off their workout. First time I walked inside Austins gym for a trial membership, everyone was very helpful and welcoming. There were no pressure or someone calling your phone almost every damn day and bugging you to sign up from Austins staff which I appreciated very much. The gym is small in size, cozy, and introvert friendly which was a plus for me! You have the option to take conditioning classes or weight lifting programs that are taught by Austin and his staff. Ive been taking the conditioning class due to some nagging beach volleyball related injuries and working my way up to weight lifting in the near future. I am also taking it for to get in shape.So far I had lost 20lbs (with the workouts installed by Austin and proper nutrition) and still working on losing more. Every member here are super cool to work out with and also very helpful. The classes are always challenging and pushes you to your limits. You will never feel alone or abandoned. They will encourage you to push yourself. I definitely recommend Hyper Strength and Conditioning to all the underdogs out there. This is the only gym that I joined that makes me feel appreciated for all my hard work. Come and check it out!

I can speak for a lot of people when I say that Austin is hands down one of the most positive and influential persons youll ever meet. His energy is always at a 10, always upbeat, and his motivational skills are second to none (If you ever hit a PR around him youll see what I mean). And hes instilled all of that into the environment at HSC!The facility is clean, organized and intimate, the coaches can see all the members at all times to help with correct form and answer any questions before, during, and after workouts. The equipment is great, clean, and always organized as well! #1 Gym Pet Peeve is when weights get left everywhere scrambled, that wont be the case here.I suggest whoever is reading this to do the same as I did and let Coach Austin and his team help you become the best version of yourself with their passion for fitness. I can speak for a lot of people one more time when i say, I cant thank him enough!

HSC is one of those gyms that you never really leave because it a familiar environment. Talk to anyone there and you will be surprised just how motivated they are. Classes are fun of course, but they are geared to make the best out of the time you are there. Training here is focused and exciting.The instructors take their time with each individual. They remember your name! Coach Austin listens, observes and promotes your personal growth through encouraging exercise routines that you dont find at your typical aquarium strip mall gyms. If you are looking for gains, you will find them here and you will find individuals who want to excel just as much as you.You should give HSC an opportunity to help you develop, grow and get buff.

Ive been working out with Austin, the owner, for close to 10 years.

Review №54

I have been going here since February 2019. This gym is simply awesome. This gym is a bit smaller than what you would expect from a large commercial gym, but what you get here is an experience that you simply cannot get anywhere else. What this gym lacks in floor size, machines, and treadmills, it makes up for with its quality equipment, excellent staff, culture, and community. Because it is a smaller gym, you never feel overwhelmed with interrupting typical gymbros who dont want to let you share a machine, bench, equipment, weights, etc. If you are into power or olympic weightlifting, this gym has all the equipment you could ever need. This gym offers a variety of fun classes for its members taught by passionate trainers who truly put in the effort to maximize your potential. Classes range from conditioning, powerlifting, kickboxing, yoga, and olympic weightlifting. If you want to pay extra for personal training, HSC offers some of the best in the business. Also, you can workout by yourself, but I definitely recommend trying a class here. Whatever your fitness goals are, HSC will help you get there. No matter your fitness level, all are truly welcome here.

Review №55

To put into perspective of how much HSC means to me and why it’s worth it: I drive a roundtrip of 60 miles to go to San Jose and spend a small part of my day at HSC not only to physically enrich my body, but the mind as well. When you make meaningful, life-long connections at a place (in this case, HSC), it’s difficult to just come in and use equipment and do your routine and call it a day. No, that’s not the only purpose of HSC. At HSC, you make and build connections just as much as you make and build your PRs and routines. As the name suggests, HSC houses energy like no other (“hyper”). I come in and get drawn by the energy of new people from all walks of life and see familiar faces and smiles. The “hyper” to me signifies an unconditional and unassuming enthusiasm from coaches to inspire their members to give their training the utmost best and mindful care. The “strength and conditioning” just speak for themselves, as proven by all the unique classes they offer to foster functional training, weightlifting, and many more. I mainly do personal training with Coach Kilo and she has gone above and beyond to surpass my ever-changing fitness goals. Creativity and mindfulness come into her workouts. HSC is family. HSC is one of my homes away from home. Just like a family, we have fun gatherings, as a reminder that strength and health are not one-dimensional, but dynamic and holistic. HSC summons fun and grit in the physical core but reveres the importance of the mind and what it means to live a purposeful and meaningful, active lifestyle. Just recently, they’ve helped me achieve a dream of an opportunity by training me to compete on American Ninja Warrior Season 11! It was in this instance of their unwavering support and energy that I felt like I was at home with family on the day of the competition. It was an effort on their part that I will remember for the rest of my life. I can’t thank them enough. I’ve been driving to SJ for HSC (for 2 years now) not just to escape the hustle and bustle of life but to train to endure the so-called “hustle and bustle” of life. As a nurse, it’s important for me to stay physically and mentally strong and to avoid injury that the labor of the profession often is at risk for. When you want to go that extra 60 miles to attain fitness goals (even when people question the worthiness when they realize the length I go to for exercise) then the blood, sweat, and tears (happy!) are nothing but the product of something worthy and of high caliber! I am HSC (hella so confidently, LOL) Proud!

HSC has been my gym and second home for the past year now. I found them through a very nerdy and pointed Facebook ad. I was hesitant at first, but Im so so glad I overcame my nerves and went in for my consultation. Coach Austin, Jozelle, the whole staff and team of coaches, and the other members have been so wonderful and welcoming to me.Theres such good energy there, and they keep me accountable for keeping up with my fitness goals. I lost about 20lbs since the start of this year, and gained noticeable muscle and energy.

One of my favorite gyms I joined of all time. Its on my top 3! All the coaches here are supportive, friendly and fun! They can be serious and mean, too, if you want them to. But what I liked about HSC is that theyreso inviting--including the members! Whether youre a beginner and never went to the gym before or a super athlete that wants to train for American Ninja Warrior or Crossfit tournaments--this is the place (also people in between who is looking to workout during the work week). I also love their fun nerdy workout themes. So if superhero movies, anime, video games or sci-fi is your thing, go check them out! Try out a class.

Hyper Strength is a family friendly gym that provides a supportive and uplifting environment for athletes whether beginner or national level competitors to thrive in. Its not your average crossfit gym nor commercial gym. HSC offers a wide range of conditioning classes including boxing and weightlifting. Private one on one personal training is available as well.Equipment is in perfect condition; the gym is spot clean and well-kept. HSC has plenty of weightlifting barbells, powerlifting barbells, bumper plates, and free weights. The staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coaches are knowledgable, clearly passionate about what they teach.Both gym hours and monthly price are convenient for college students such as myself since my classes usually end by noon. I started going to HSC in September and I’ve already dropped 3% body fat and gained 3 lbs of lean mass. I feel so motivated and welcomed at HSC. I couldn’t imagine lifting anywhere else.Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re sick of commercial gyms or crossfit cults.

Over the past 5 months, HSC has become my gym. I feel like part of a not-so-little family here where everybody fist bumps you to say hi and people yell out your name excitedly when you walk in the door. My own family doesnt even get that excited to see me.Comparing my experience here to tons of studios and commercial gyms Ive been to, staff + members + events = amazing community.STAFFAustin (the owner) teaches some mean cardio and boxing classes to get you in shape where I almost passed out the first time I went. Ivy will kick your butt in a$$ class and then spend time helping you individually to correct your pull-up form. Kim does all things powerlifting and will hold you to the highest standard as she cheers you on when you bench more than you thought you could. Tim does all things Olympic weightlifting and super patiently tells you time and time again how you need to stop holding the barbell like youre about to mic drop. Myra is the in-house physical therapist and does a weekly stretching class that helps your muscles release through a series of challenging movements (no laying around here!). Plus Arthur, Jessie, Kolin, and the rest of the staff who do an amazing job supporting members and making sure HSC is running smoothly.All of this matters because Ive been to studios where I got yelled at for not following/understanding the instructors direction. (Thankfully, Tim never yells at me for misreading BTN as below the knee and not below the neck. -_- ) If youre serious about improving in something, a coach will help put together a customized plan for you. Theres even a Facebook group where the coaches do weekly check-ins!MEMBERSPeople actually made an effort to introduce themselves and say hi. I progressed in large part to both getting help and tips from other members and being inspired by watching the gains that everyone else was making. Knowing that Ill be seeing the same set of people 3x a week makes me feel accountable in actually showing up to the gym consistently.EVENTSThere was an Olympic lifting meet in East Bay recently, and it was awesome to see so many members of the gym show up to support other members who had been training for months to compete for the first time. HSC even held a mock powerlifting meet to help beginners feel good about competing! On top of just meets, HSC hosts holiday parties and tons of social events throughout the year.A friend tried to convince me to join Equinox (hello, Eucalyptus towels!), but when I went, nobody was there to correct my form or made sure I knew what I was doing. Nobody was chatting between sets about random stuff like the best way to tie up long hair. At the end of the day, no amount of Kiehls products can replace the community here.

I never power lifted before coming here and now I love it! The atmosphere is awesome and super welcoming. Its also very motivational as people cheer you on after a good lift!I mainly take the powerlifting classes because I get out of work late. As a beginner, they show you the basics on the three major lifts (squats, bench and deadlift) and how to have proper form, breathing and etc.Ive done the conditioning classes and boy.. they really work you out! Its cool though also because Ive learned some very fun exercises from different coaches. Its great to attend the classes especially when you dont really have time to make your own work out.Ive definitely gotten stronger after working out here and I plan to surpass more expectations

HSC is basically my happy place! Classes are fun and challenging. The staff is friendly and helpful. Whether im having a good day or not, a workout here always boosts my mood and energy. Im especially happy that I can attend almost anytime now with my random schedule if I cant make my favorite evening powerlifting class!

HSC Rocks! I have been working out at HSC for 7 months and it is awesome. I’ve known Coach Austin since High school and I am happy to see he has followed his dream with opening his own gym. Hard work done right!HSP is a friendly, positive, and inspiring atmosphere & The coaches are knowledgeable and always available when I am confused with a workout move or need some assistance with achieving the next step with my goal.HSC is always mixing it up with their workouts and events. It is so fun! Some of the fun workouts/events are archery, dance classes, kickball, sword fighting, etc. I always feel motivated when I arrive to the gym and in return, I’ve gained great results and fun memories. I’d recommend HSC - Open for all ages and all goals.

Having met the head coach/gym owner Austin before HSC, I came into the gym when it started, hoping for the best. I had known him to be an amazing conditioning coach and he was the one who fostered my love of powerlifting.The gym is nearing its second year in a couple months and I can truly say my expectations have been completely blown out of the water. On the powerlifting side, I have had several coaches mentor me at HSC. Ive watched my lift totals rise higher and higher. On the conditioning side, Ive had coaches teach me to love the intensity of it all. Conditioning classes are never boring and Ive always felt challenged.Classes aside, what I find to be the best quality of this gym is the community. In every class, theres a sense of camaraderie. We cheer each other on through each set or each lap. When Im tired and want to sleep after a long work day and commute, knowing that I have a group of friends and coaches at the gym helps motivate me to come in.So if youre looking for a gym full of qualified trainers to help you reach your goals and members to cheer you on and work out alongside you, come check out HSC!!

I was referred to HSC by coworkers and after witnessing a few of the members go through their first powerlifting meet, observing the support of other HSC members and Coach Austins enthusiasm; I was motivated to check out the gym and brought my fiancé along. Although, I was worried about the cost of membership, my fiancé and I joined after experiencing a few classes! We considered this to be a great investment in continuing our healthy lifestyle.It was not only the classes that got us hooked, but the overall atmosphere. All coaches, staff, and members are very welcoming and there is a huge comradery among everyone. In my short few months there, I have been challenged by trying new sports, exercises and joining gym challenges to enable healthy habits daily. Coach Austin and staff also create creative ways to keep members active and accountable even outside of the gym. They care about your progress/goals and you feel motivated to put in the work as well.Also, if you are someone who has trouble coming up with your own workout to do at a commercial gym, then this place may be for you. There is already a workout established for you with no thinking required. You put on a good sweat, challenge your bodys capabilities and have fun doing it! I say, even if you are a bit curious, come through and check the gym out, take a couple classes and go from there... though, I think youll agree that youll want to stay and join the rest of us who love coming here!So, for all beginning and experienced lifters, non-lifters, and you want to take your next step towards healthy living habits, come by and check it out! In addition, if you are an aspiring powerlifter, or want to learn fundamentals in olympic lifting...I would highly recommend coming here for all the newbies to these sports.
