Finest gym I’ve been to. It’s my first powerlifting gym and hoping it’ll stay as my only gym membership.
The main perks of a powerlifting gym are all here: 24 hour access, multiple combo racks available for your SBD needs, and likeminded clientele that just want to lift. This means it’s almost always easy to get a lift in even during peak hours, which is diluted more than the usual commercial gyms because of the 24 hour access.
The equipment for accessories aren’t lacking either, with the owner Henry continuously procuring new machines or attachments since I’ve been here for a year now. Just about every month or so, something gets rearranged or added to the gym floor and it’s great to see membership dues going back to the gym.
The only caveat to the 24 hour access are when the gym hosts powerlifting competitions, which isn’t frequent but something to plan around as I believe currently, members are unable to lift during these events unless they’re competing since the floor space isn’t large enough to accommodate everyone. Good trade off though considering the gym isn’t closed for the entirety of the day unlike other gyms on holidays.
Easy recommendation, love to see this gym’s growth every month

Absolutely superb powerlifting gym. Really well laid out with a great range of equipment. Having combo racks and comp plates is a delight. Access to the venue was easy and was never busy when I was in early morning.

Henry is the man, he always makes sure to take care of his customers and provides the most excellent customer service. I participated in a powerlifting meet at Exceed and it was organized very well and ran smoothly. I definitely will be visiting this gym again in the future!

Hardcore powerlifting and weightlifting gym with great quality equipments. Great place to train if you live in OC or drop in on your visit.Pros: Nice equipment, vibe and price!1) Competitive powerlifters are seen everyday.2) Though mainly it's a powerlifting gym, they do carry a lot of weightlifting bars from training to competition ones.3) Owner Mike has a great personality that always be willing to help. The equipment is nice and clean all the time and member can access 24 hrs which is really convenient.4) Plus, the membership fee is a lot cheaper than other gyms at the same level.Cons: Would have given a solid 5 star but the only two downsides are:1) Gym is a bit short on space and might feel crowded at peak hours.2) Make sure to communicate with them and follow gym rules as new rules might be indoctrinated at anytime you train and might interrupt your session by owner Henry.

Really enjoy training at this gym! Every gym is built on its community, and Exceed Performance has a great community of lifters who have the same goals and aspiration when it comes to powerlifting. It's a very fun and exciting place to train when everyone around you is motivating and welcoming! I've been training here for about 8 months so far; and during my 4 years of training for powerlifting, Exceed Performance is by far my favorite place to train! They also expanded recently, and we are getting new combo racks and machines for accessories!

Amazing powerlifting gym. Even more amazing people/members.Clean environment. Plenty of top tier equipment. Great vibes.Henry (owner) was more than accommodating to me and graciously set me up with access quickly as I needed a place to train during my 6 week stay in the OC. I appreciate the love and hospitality Henry!

My favorite gym in the So Cal area. I visited a few other gyms on my trip but this was recommended to me by two friends and I'm glad I went. Great equipment and super supportive owners and members. I'm back in Texas now but still talk with Henry and some of the staff occasionally. I'll definitely go back.
