First time visiting this gym as I was vacationing from San Diego and 2 weeks out from Official Strongman Games. I bought a day pass online, super easy and clear instructions on how to access the facility. I was tight on time so I sent a message on Instagram to inquire about some equipment and was responded to within a short amount of time with the info I needed. I arrived and I was easily able to find everything I needed. The owner Zach and another athlete Alex were super nice and helped direct me to the litle bits and bobs like proper collars for bars and chalk. They had a shelf full of lifting belts that were open to anyone for use which saved me since I didnt travel with mine. There were 2 really nice bathrooms with plenty of toilet paper and towels. Something that stuck out to me specifically was a lot of unique training equipment for my personal style of training which is Conjugate and so they had much of that type stuff like 1,2, and 3 boards, and bands, (didnt see chains but im sure they have them) as well as a reverse hyper. Such a nice crew and definitely a prime spot for strength athletes.

Zack & Adam were extremely personable & inviting with me & everyone who entered the gym. They were attentive & professional with their clients. The space was full of equipment any strength athlete could perform a quality training session. Lastly, the music was 🤘. Highly recommend this business and I would go again.

I only drop in on an occasional Saturday, but I love this gym. I wish it was closer to me. Its a great vibe, great community and a totally different feeling from a commercial gym. I look forward to my Saturdays there.

If you are looking for a true strength gym where the culture matches the quality of the equipment, Liberty Performance Training is the gold standard.
From the jump, the owner has been incredible. You can tell they actually care about the member experience—communication is seamless, the energy is always positive, and they run a tight ship. You won’t find 'out of order' signs sitting on machines for weeks here; if something breaks, it’s fixed immediately. Everything is designed for people who are serious about their training.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s a rare find to have a gym where everyone is there to put in the work, yet remains completely approachable. I’ve met so many like-minded people who share the same drive and mindset. It’s more than just a place to lift; it’s a high-level environment that actually makes you want to get better.
I’ve had nothing but a positive experience here since day one. If you want a gym that respects your time and your goals, this is it.

As a recently separated Marine, this is exactly what I look for in a gym. All the important stuff is there; lots of free weights. Also, it’s not too crowded, it was the perfect place to go in do what you had to do and get out. Gonna miss this place.

Hi Michael, thank you for sharing your experience at Liberty! We're so glad to provide a space where people who take their training seriously can thrive. We'll miss you!

Great gym! Come for the strong man community and gear if you’d like, you won’t be disappointed. Speaking for myself; I just can’t be motivated by huge corporate gyms. I stopped being reliant on “machines” that isolate certain muscles by coming to liberty by meeting with a skilled lifting trainer consistently for a bit. And am now self sufficient. I much prefer coming here and using the wide assortment of weights, barbells, racks, kettle bells etc. Bottom line if you want to come to a place surrounded by friendly dedicated individuals who show up to work hard, this is the right place. If you want to dick around and talk on your phone and watch Netflix while you sit on a machine for 30 minutes stick with the corporate gyms.

David, Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear it's been a 5-star experience! Building self-sufficiency is a huge part of our personal training here. Looking forward to seeing your continued progress!

Have been at this gym for around 8 months, love every second of it. The gym is clean, organized, and has a wide variety of equipment to facilitate a variety of needs. Zac runs the gym beautifully, and I have seen him be incredibly patient with his training clients. Never makes anyone feel stupid or like they don’t know what they are doing. Would highly recommend, especially for strongman/powerlifting training.

Alex, thank you so much for your feedback! Maintaining a clean facility is important to us, we reject the notion that strength gyms have to look and feel like a dungeon haha! Looking forward to seeing your continued progress in Strongman. I'm always available to answer questions!

Phenomenal Training Facility. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a clean, serious and friendly environment. If you’re looking to take it to the next level give the membership a try just like I did, THEN if you’re looking to go the extra mile, get yourself a trainer from Liberty; it is a game changer. 100% recommend.
Response from the owner · 6 months ago
Cesar! It's been awesome watching you make some killer progress in your first couple of months! You're always the hardest worker in the room, and it's paying off! So glad to hear your experience has been 5-stars! Looking forward to watching you crush more PRs!

This gym stole 6 sessions worth of money from me and I was physically threatened and yelled at by head coach Justin Betsy.
Zac, the owner, claims I was under a contract which was never shown to me nor I agreed to.
I was paying nearly 80 bucks a session and I was given just two time slots . Their coach wants to train on two days a week and no weekend sessions.
Just your typical entitled folks who think they need to be paid anyway.
I had canceled sessions but all sessions cancelled within 24 hours were all paid for and they never complained about till it was inconvenient for them. Happy to make free money.
Response from the owner · 11 months ago
Sai,
We always welcome feedback and leave room for the concerns of our clients. I apologize for the negative experience you've had.
I do have to address some things you have stated in your review which are factually wrong. We did not steal 6 sessions from you, and Justin certainly did not threaten or yell at you. We shared our agreement in response to your email which you seem to have opted to ignore.
Justin worked with you patiently for months through your last minute cancellations, no shows, and unexpected long term absences. We considered your client status as abandoned, as no one had heard from you. When you reached out again 10 months ago (Feb. 2025) after another 4 month absence we were unable to accommodate your expectations. Due to the nature of the client/coach relationship which unfolded between you and our coaching staff, as well as the abandonment of your sessions which carry a 1 year expiration, we opted to release you as a client.
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
-Zac, Owner
