Hella Strength Gym

POWERLIFTING SHOULD BE MORE ACCESSIBLE.

So we lowered our prices…
FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

Hella Strength was built for the people who love lifting. That’s why we sponsored members of our community to compete at USPA Ultra Nationals in Anaheim as part of our team.

Because we believe opportunities in strength sports should grow the community, not gatekeep it.

We’re not trying to build the most exclusive gym in the Bay.
We’re trying to build the strongest community.

• Student memberships starting at $39.99
• Reduced rates for General & Hero memberships
• 24/7 member access
• Competition-quality equipment
• Coaching available
• Built by lifters, for lifters

Whether you’re chasing a national platform or touching a barbell for the first time, there’s a place for you here.

GOOD LUCK TO TEAM HELLA STRENGTH AT ULTRA NATIONALS. 🖤💛

Ultra Nationals marks the official launch of our “For Love of the Game” campaign.

As we head into our 5-year anniversary season, we wanted to start by highlighting the people who embody what Hella Strength has always been about from day one: community, effort, resilience, and genuine love for this sport.

Powerlifting isn’t always glamorous. It’s early mornings, late nights, injuries, setbacks, missed lifts, small victories, and continuing to show up anyway. The people who stay in this game long-term do it because they truly love it.

This team represents exactly that.

We’re proud to sponsor these athletes as they take the platform at one of the biggest meets in the country and represent Hella Strength, the Bay Area, and the culture we’ve built together.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll start seeing us roll out some really special projects, apparel, events, and stories centered around the idea of “For Love of the Game” as we celebrate five years of Hella Strength.

This is bigger than totals.
Bigger than social media.
Bigger than one meet.

It’s about the people who keep this community alive.

ONE TEAM. ONE GOAL. ALL HEART.

Memorial Day isn’t about long weekends, sales, or barbecues.

It’s about remembering the men and women who never made it home.

Some gave years of their life in service. Others gave all of it.

Today we pause to remember the fallen, honor their sacrifice, and recognize the families and brothers and sisters who carry that weight every day.

Freedom has a cost.

Thank you.
We Never forget. 🇺🇸

New year. New total. Same goal.
Build something that actually shows up on the platform.

🏅 The East Bay Open at

This meet is already moving! We are on the way to being half full and we are still early in the new year!

If Ultra Nat’s is on your radar this year, this is the perfect place to:
• Dial in attempts
• Shake off meet rust from the holidays
• Put up a clean, tested total
• Start the year with momentum instead of “later energy”

No chaos. No gimmicks. Just a well-run platform and lifters who are ready to work. Will you be platform ready?

The new year doesn’t wait. Neither do new totals.

🔥 GAS BREAK LIFT 3… DONE. 🔥
Thank you to our family, friends, staff, and partners who show up for us every single meet. None of this happens without your support.

Thank you to every coach and every athlete who steps onto the platform. Y’all are the reason we do this. You bring the energy, the heart, the grit, and the community that makes powerlifting what it is in the Bay.

Earlier this month we wrapped Gas Break Lift 3 at Get Bent Oakland and with that… our 2025 hosting season is officially closed out. What a year.

We’ve got some huge opportunities lined up for 2026 especially with USPA rolling into Anaheim for Ultra Nats. Big stage big moments and we’re ready.

But before the next wave hits let’s enjoy the holidays. Rest up. Recharge Reset.

We’ll see everyone platform ready at our next meet in February!
