Game Time Strength GTS - El Segundo — Local services in El Segundo

When I first walked into Game Time Strength 5 months ago, Dennis asked how I found out about them. I said,"Your Yelp game is strong." And now I know exactly why GTS has all 5 star reviews.

I came into GTS with a basic knowledge of weightlifting, after having fought the strength training route for a long time. Classic girl, I was worried about getting "bulky" and intimidated by the weight room. So I stuck to BodyPump and cardio classes at 24 Hour. And guess what, I did not see results. I finally got over my fear of the weight room and starting training free weights on my own, but I kept re-injuring my lower back and wasn't making much progress on my lifts. Since starting at GTS my back pain has significantly improved, and I've gained strength while dropping 10 pounds.

The GTS team is truly amazing. Jason makes himself and his wealth of knowledge available anytime you need him. He listens to my goals and plans my routine around my lower back injury. He is constantly checking in with me, making sure my back is doing ok and that I'm staying on track with my nutrition. J Kahn is highly engaged, he looks out for me, critiquing my form, stepping in when I look confused. He is a stickler about form and spends the time to make sure your form is as close to perfect as possible. Dennis has a knack for finding a way to explain form and technique so that it makes sense for whoever is learning. He always has new stretches and ways to work out your injuries.

The atmosphere at GTS is welcoming and there is a great sense of camaraderie. I never feel out of place or intimidated; everyone looks out for each other and is willing to give advice and answer questions. I am inspired to try harder every workout because I am in an environment where no one is phoning it in and everyone is dedicated to their fitness goals.

Being held accountable for my workout and nutrition, and knowing that Jay and team are keeping an eye on me, is the best motivation I could ask for. It is completely worth the half hour drive I make each way to get to GTS. I have never been a consistent gym goer until I started going to GTS. I actually look forward to my workout knowing that Jay and the crew are expecting me to be there putting in the work. I leave feeling better than when I came in (minus suicide sprint days...).

I highly recommend GTS for anyone with any sort of fitness goals. Just go ahead and get rid of your 24 Hr Fitness membership right now. You will not find a better and more knowledgeable...

Original Review 12/2017:

Gametime Strength is the real deal. I attended a barbell workshop and learned so much in just a few hours. Jason is an excellent coach and I’m looking forward to working with him more. If you’re on the fence check out one of the workshops- you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!

In less than a year, Jason Kelske and Gametime Strength have helped me dramatically increase my strength and improve my body composition. The difference from when I first started is huge! Not only is Jason an accomplished power lifter, he’s a very knowledgeable coach whose nutritional and training advice will help you level up if you’re motivated and follow the program in AND out of the gym. He’s always looking for new ways to engage with his clients and improve their experience - something many so called “coaches” fail to do. The level of attention he gives each client is unmatched - whether you’re coming in with a 600lb or 50lb deadlift you are given the same amount of care and respect... there are none of the bad vibes that you often experience with “trainers” and commercial gyms. If you’re looking to get stronger, look better, or just feel better about yourself I can’t recommend Gametime Strength highly enough. Strength = Confidence and this impacts every aspect of life, from professional to personal. Working with Jason has inspired me to learn the ropes of coaching and at almost 40 years old make a career change in hopes that I can have the same positive impact on others that...

To all ladies 50+: If you think you have no more chance to build a healthy and strong body without any joint and lower back pain, you are absolutely wrong. Come and check GTS. Jason Kelske is running this facility. There are two other fantastic coaches Dennise and Jkhan along with himself providing all what you need to get trained to build a strong body as a life style. He actually designs a program that is special to your need. I joined them about 6 months ago, complaining of lower back & knee pain and not having enough energy. My justification was I am working long hours behind my computer, always in traffic, taking care of family and no time for myself. I listened to my friend’s son (21 years old) recommendation to go to GTS. Jason suggested I start with 3 times a week 6 to 7-7:30 AM before I go to work. I committed myself for 2 months at the beginning then 6 months and now for life. The results were unbelievable. Pain actually disappeared the first month, I lost weight. I have more energy and focused at work. I go back to my hiking routine and trips. What really made all that happened was the coaches, the training program just for me and a very, very friendly and supportive environment. You can see all walks of life participate in GTS. There is a great sense of belonging, friendship, support and respect in GTS that have me continue going...
