Looking for a Private Strength Training Gym or Barbell Coach in Los Angeles?
Game Time Strength (GTS) is a private strength training gym in Los Angeles built for adults who want to get strong, stay healthy, and train consistently… without the crowds, noise, or confusion of a commercial gym.
We operate multiple private gym locations across the South Bay and Westside of Los Angeles, including Torrance, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Westchester, and Mar Vista. Each location is designed to provide a calm, uncrowded environment where members can train efficiently and focus on doing things well.
Our approach centers around barbell-based strength training, quality coaching, and long-term consistency. Whether someone is brand new to lifting, returning after time off, or experienced but tired of waiting for equipment, our goal is the same: provide a smarter, safer, and more sustainable way to train.
Two Ways to Train at Game Time Strength
Open Gym
Open Gym is designed for independent lifters who want access to a private, uncrowded gym with 24/7 key access.
Members train on their own schedule using full racks, platforms, and professional-grade equipment—without waiting for machines or navigating crowded floors. This option works best for experienced lifters who already have a program and simply want a better place to train.
Coaching & Barbell MasterClass
Our coaching options are built for beginners, returners, and anyone who wants professional guidance and accountability.
We offer one-on-one barbell coaching, semi-private coaching, and short-term Barbell MasterClass onboarding programs that focus on learning proper technique, building confidence, and creating a clear path forward. Many members start with coaching and later transition into a mix of coached sessions and independent training.
We also offer hybrid coaching and remote programming options for members who want ongoing structure, feedback, and accountability beyond the gym floor.
Who Game Time Strength Is For
Game Time Strength is a good fit for adults who:
• Want to lift weights safely and intelligently
• Are short on time and value efficient training
• Prefer a quieter, more focused gym environment
• Care about technique, progress, and long-term health
• Want coaching without being thrown into large group classes
Who It’s Not For
Game Time Strength is not designed for:
• Large group fitness classes or bootcamps
• High-energy, music-blasting workout environments
• Random daily workouts with no progression
• Drop-in or anonymous commercial gym culture
A Smarter Alternative to Commercial Gyms
Unlike traditional gyms, we limit membership to maintain space, access, and quality. There’s no waiting for racks, no pressure to keep up with a class, and no guessing whether you’re doing things correctly.
Our members typically train two to three days per week and prioritize consistency over extremes. The focus is on showing up, training with intention, and making steady progress over time.
Serving the South Bay & Westside of Los Angeles
