Elite Strength Lab - Garden Grove, California

My husband and I are so glad we found Elite Strength and decided to start training with Nathan. We were both a little hesitant about getting a trainer, but we knew we needed the accountability—and it’s turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made this year. Nathan is super down to earth and really knows his stuff. We’ve both made a ton of progress and actually look forward to our sessions each week. Since we both work from home, it’s been totally worth it. Nathan, Dylan, and Amie are all so friendly and great at what they do.

I’m incredibly impressed with Nathan, my son’s trainer at Elite Strength Lab. My son has been training with Nathan for three years, and the progress he’s made, especially in his strength, has been remarkable. As a baseball player, strength is crucial, and Nathan has really helped him develop the power and conditioning necessary for the sport.

What stands out most about Nathan is his deep understanding of both training and the specific needs of young athletes. He tailors each session to my son's individual goals, keeping the workouts challenging yet accessible. I’ve noticed steady improvements in his strength, agility, and overall athleticism. It's clear that Nathan cares about his athletes' growth and takes the time to push them while also ensuring they avoid injury.

Not only is Nathan a knowledgeable trainer, but his encouragement and support have been a huge part of my son's development. The consistent progress my son has made over the years speaks volumes about Nathan's expertise and dedication. I highly recommend Elite Strength Lab and Nathan to anyone looking to improve their athletic performance!

Elite Strength Lab is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, and they take the time to ensure that every workout is tailored to your needs and goals.

Jordan and Nathan are amazing—his expertise and ability to explain form and technique are next-level. He makes sure you’re not just lifting but doing it *right*. And then there’s Julian—he goes above and beyond. Julian is not only incredibly helpful but also genuinely cares about your progress. His encouragement and attention to detail have been a game-changer for my workouts.

The overall environment at Elite Strength Lab is welcoming, supportive, and motivating. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, this place will help you achieve your fitness goals. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about getting stronger and healthier!

Before Nathan started guiding me on proper warm-ups and body mechanics, I used to go straight into heavy lifts with no prep—and man, my body paid the price. I’d be in constant, severe pain, and over time that wear and tear really started catching up to me. I know I’m Asian, and “Asian don’t raisin,” but let’s be real… my body was definitely feelin’ it more and more as I got older—sore as hell, constantly aching, and struggling to recover.

Since incorporating Nathan’s teachings, everything has changed. The warm-ups, the stretches, the intentional movements—it’s been a game changer. I no longer deal with that brutal pain after lifting, and it’s made a huge difference in the longevity of my workouts. I feel stronger, more mobile, and just overall more prepared for anything I throw at my body.

What I really value about Nathan is how well-rounded and knowledgeable he is. A lot of people in this industry will just show you what to do, but Nathan takes it a step further. He actually explains why each movement matters—down to the specific muscles, ligaments, and mechanics involved. You walk away learning something every time. If you ever need guidance, support, or someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing, I 100% recommend Nathan.

Big shoutout as well to “Elite Strength Lab” and my boy Julian—the owner and a real one. The love, the hospitality, and the community they’ve built there is unmatched. They’ve always shown me support and never fail to lend a helping hand when needed.

Much love to y’all—fr, I appreciate you guys beyond words!

Couldn’t say enough about this gym and their staff. The gym here really had a lot of great equipment and great set of people that work here. Julian is really great when it comes to getting your goals accomplished and working with you. I would highly recommend coming here and accomplishing your goals. They also have a great nutritionist that can help look over your current plan and help you out or help you get your goals done.

Julian is great and definitely knows what he's doing and knows what he's talking about. I appreciate that for my first session, he helps you pay attention to your body and listens to what you can and cannot handle and adjusts as needed. Also, I was running late to my session and I appreciated how understanding Julian and still made time for me to do my workouts.

Julian has been such a great help during my fitness journey. Not only is his knowledge of strength & conditioning top-notch, but he has greeted me with so much energy each session. I went to his facility for the training, and I've stayed for the camaraderie. Can't wait to keep moving forward with you!

Excellent place to train. I was traveling to the area for a short time and Julian worked with me to figure out a package with very reasonable rates.

Jordan was such an excellent trainer! Not only did he drastically improve my form with the Olympic lifts, he also taught me about mobility and programming, and how to really *feel* for myself whether I’m doing a movement pattern safely and efficiently.

Great facility, highly recommend!
