In partnership with Bret Contreras — “The Glute Guy” — we turned our entire downstairs into a dedicated glute-training floor, stocked with some of the best glute equipment in the world.
We didn’t want just another weight room downstairs — so we partnered with the world’s foremost glute-training expert to design it.
Bret Contreras — the sports scientist who invented the barbell hip thrust and founded BC Strength and Glute Lab — hand-selected every machine on our downstairs floor. The result is an official Glute Lab Satellite: the same training philosophy and equipment you’ll find in his own gyms, right here in Pacific Beach.
Whether you’re chasing strength, size, or just want to train like the pros, it’s all one block from the sand.
“I didn’t want to build just another Glute Lab. I wanted to create a Glute Lab Satellite where anyone could experience the same training philosophy I use in my own gyms — with some of the best glute equipment from around the world, all in one place.”Bret Contreras · @bretcontreras1
Bret Contreras, PhD, is widely known as “The Glute Guy” — the world’s leading authority on glute training. A former math teacher turned sports scientist, he earned his PhD in Sports Science and popularized the barbell hip thrust, now a staple in gyms worldwide.
He’s the founder of BC Strength and the Glute Lab, author of Glute Lab and co-author of Strong Curves, and his methods are used by coaches and lifters around the globe.
Every piece was carefully chosen — nothing here is by accident.
Purpose-built platforms for the lift Bret invented — heavy load, full range.
Dedicated stations for thrusts, abductions, and kickbacks.
Competition Thruster plates and barbells, built for the work.
A mirror-lined room downstairs, built for focus.
A full range for every accessory and finisher.
Full body, glute emphasis — straight from Bret's playbook.
