Allie Rose
Olympic Weightlifter
Verified Athlete"I started using Cal Strength Programming as a complete beginner and through following it faithfully I was able to become a National level weightlifter. There is no question why California Strength produces some of the highest level weightlifters in the country!"
Josee Gallant
Canadian National Champion
Verified Athlete"Within the first cycle I think I PR’d my Jerk, my Back Squat, my Clean and it was absolutely wild. I PR’d most of my lifts within the first month and I was like, okay I’m here for this, I love this programming. It almost feels like you’re a part of a family that you’ve never really met in person but it doesn’t matter if you’ve met them in person or not, you truly feel like you belong."
Mark Dahlstrom
Olympic Weightlifter
Verified Athlete"Cal Strength really helped me tie things together and I started improving astronomically… Without the Cal Strength program I can’t say that I would’ve gotten this far by myself or any other X online program, this has definitely been the determining factor in getting me where I am right now."
When you join a team you’re getting more than programming, you’re joining an online community.
