Raw Performance, San Dimas CA

I started coming here for the strength and conditioning programming because it’s really great and I’ve achieved such fast results under coach amador! The community is amazing and they have great coaching that wants you to achieve your goals and will help you grow. They pointed out certain things to me that I’ve been doing for years that have led to injuries in the past. I really wish I could’ve started coming here sooner, everyone is very welcoming and you’ll love it just as much as I did!

They also have a really great looking gym they completely revamped everything & take care of their equipment unlike most other ones I’ve been to.

What a gym. I was here for a year and then we moved a little further away, so unfortunately had to leave. But this spot is awesome.

Great for:
• powerlifting, either competitive or recreational
• bodybuilding (but no mirrors so can't work on posing)
• intro to weightlifting - classes and personal training are great

Considerations:
• no treadmills or ellipticals.
• no turf area if you're rehabbing or wanting to do agility work
• no smoothies, tanning beds, red light therapy, etc

I came from an LA Fitness with 10x the square footage but only 3 benches, 3 squat racks, and way too much waiting. RP has approx 6 bench/squat stations, 3 more full racks, 5-6 spaces in the freeweight area with various kinds of benches, half a dozen deadlift stations, an outdoor space with a couple bikes and racks plus modular equipment for machine chest press, rows, etc.

I noticed both advanced, competitive lifters as well as novices, and everyone is welcomed. You can keep to yourself, or branch out and make friends; no big deal either way. Both men and women. You won't be the only one who can squad/deadlift 600+, you won't be the only one that is just getting into it.

Usually I just put my headphones in and did my own thing, but seeing all the effort being put it around you makes you work harder and push a little more.

10/10 recommend.

I love this gym. Joined late November 2022. Instructors are fantastic and they give you the attention needed for success. Raw Performance has excellent equipment and is kept very clean. The staff are true professionals and members are friendly, making you feel very welcome. I just completed my tenth week. I’m one of the older members. I feel strong and re-energized. As a bonus, I lost 20 pounds along the way! Highly recommended.
