Hi ECWC family —
We hope you all are doing well.
We’d like to share what’s changed at ECWC as we adjust to life with the new restrictions COVID-19 has brought, and to answer some questions.
Yes, we are still open at our Costa Mesa location: 2930 Grace Lane, Unit A, Costa Mesa, CA. Our classes at Blizzard have been suspended on campus for the near future, but continue at ECWC.
Mon: 4 pm - 7:30 pm
Tues: 7 am - 9 am, noon, 5:30-7:30
Wed: 4 pm - 7:30 pm
Thurs: 7 am - 9 am, noon, 5:30-7:30
Sat: 9 am (MMA), 9:30 am (bootcamp); 11 am (strongman)
We will be running morning (7am to 9am) and noon classes at the same time Tuesdays and Thursdays at the gym. For the evening classes, we will be starting at 5:30 pm with the intention of closing by 7:30 so we can all get home to our families.
Unlike a franchise gym, ECWC is smaller, with a limited membership, so it’s easier for us to keep the equipment clean.
Washing hands is mandatory on entrance and exit — no exceptions.
At the gym, we have already sanitized all of the equipment several times, and will continue to do that after every class. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant will be available at the gym for you to use as well. Don’t be shy about asking for it!
The workouts will include more outdoor activities, so people can have more space to operate. We will be adding more class times as necessary.
We’re doing our best to make sure ECWC is as clean and safe as possible for everyone.
If you’re not feeling 100%, or feel like you’re catching a cold, head ache, sore throat — definitely isolate yourself and see your doctor.
If you’re feeling healthy, and aren’t immunocompromised or caring for someone who is, we’d love to see you! Staying active and getting social support can help bolster your immune system and improve tour mental health, especially if you’re working from home.
As of now, yes — however, that may be subject to change, as the recommendations for public gatherings are changing daily. At the moment, our competitor list is small enough that we’re still able to gather in public and hold the event.
We know some of you need to book airfare and hotels to come compete, so we’re hoping to have a final decision for you by this Friday. We are closely monitoring the virus, and will do the right thing if things don’t settle down in the next week. We certainly will not put anyone at risk if the virus is spreading rapidly.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Get enough rest
Eat a healthy diet
Stay active
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, or cough into your elbow

What: Get ready to shave off months of growing pains by learning the trade secrets of the most successful strongman team to ever exist on the planet. You will learn the most skillful techniques on how to handle extreme weights in every facet of the sport of strongman. Where most have failed, we have proven time and time again that we can adapt the movements of strongman for any body type to make each athlete successful. No other gym in the U.S. has produced 7 professional strongman competitors.
Your agenda will include the technique and implementation of popular strongman movements such as the Log Clean & Press, the Axle Clean & Press and the Circus Dumbbell. In addition to overhead pressing, you will learn how to move with weight and how to condition your body for the Farmer's Walk, the Super Yoke, Tire Flip and Atlas Stones, Keg and Sandbag carry and loads.
At ECWC we apply these movements to all of our general strength training programs, as well as our athletes for sports like football, baseball, wrestling, MMA, lacrosse, hockey, etc. Learn the proper intensities, volume, as well as when, where and how to implement these movements effectively into your training.
