Our History.
After being let down by poor quality gym equipment and unsupportive staff at commercial gyms in the 1990s, Manny Sanchez started Orange County Strength Club as a home-based private training facility. He loaded his two-car garage with heavy-duty, custom built equipment while sparing no expense to fulfill his passion for the sport. It began with less than 15 lifters that lived throughout Southern California. They would drive from near and far to congregate at Manny's house and train as a team to prepare for regional, state, national, and world Powerlifting competitions.
Over the next decade, solely through reputation and word-of-mouth, OCSC grew to more than 40 team members and his training facility expanded to his back yard, driveway, and sometimes street. Today, it has grown to a fully equipped private strength training facility in Orange, California. With over 30 years of Powerlifting experience, Manny has coached OCSC Members as they competed around the World in multiple National and World Powerlifting Championships. Individually, OCSC Members have smashed multiple State, National, and World Records. More importantly, they set Personal Records each time they compete.
At OCSC, we embrace the TEAM mentality. You will often find us at even the smallest of competitions with a group of about 15 to support even just one lifter. We welcome all lifters, from novice to elite, and we offer personal training and coaching by experienced lifters in all categories (Raw, Single-Ply, Multi-Ply, etc.). We are equipped with competition calibrated weights and platforms with multiple certified referee's as members.
