We are a strength and conditioning gym serving athletes of all ages who want to improve their strength and overall health. Athletes from all over the Santa Ynez Valley and surrounding communities train as one team, competing in AAU Strength Sports events, including the Deadlift, Squat, and Bench Press.

Nearly all of our youth lifters are multi-sport athletes, balancing their schoolwork and finding the time to join their team for training. Many of our team members hold AAU American and AAU World Records.

We are proud to be a part of AAU Strength Sports.

At Youth Empowered, we strive to encourage our members to develop both strong bodies and strong minds. In addition to our group fitness classes at the gym, we offer competitive boxing and wrestling programs. We also have a women’s powerlifting team, “Pretty Strong,” developed specifically for women and high school girls, as well as a Co-ed Competitive Powerlifting Travel Team for youth, teens, men, and women.

We have a comprehensive system of academic support for students of all ages and abilities. It includes group sessions, as well as one-on-one tutoring. There are sessions scheduled strictly for homeschooled students and a study/workout session for those needing to move between study sessions.

We are passionate about creating a culture of compassion and empathy, teamwork, accountability, and the willingness to embrace hard work. We are equally passionate about wrapping it up in confidence, building relationships with peers and adult mentors.

Youth Empowered Gym offers a comprehensive family fitness program suitable for participants of all ages and abilities. Additionally, YESC has competitive teams that participate in wrestling and boxing, as well as professional and elite-level athletes.

Our programs in the gym teach a healthy lifestyle to people of all ages. While we know that starting young is important, we believe it’s never too late to improve your lifestyle and achieve your health and fitness goals.

Beginning with children as young as 3, we offer age-appropriate classes that teach essential learning skills, combined with basic movement and coordination. Children aged 5 and older are also welcome to participate in our fitness boxing program and our youth wrestling team.
