The House
What started from scratch is now 2 locations and growing, with a community that we could have only dreamed of.
Before we could even purchase alcohol, we started the journey of building our first tiny, 4,000 square foot gym in Port Hueneme. We started with zero members & zero clue what we were doing but what we did have is family, friends and the will to build something from nothing.
Fast forward 7 years with thousands of members served, multiple locations and the best freaking team we could ask for, we are so proud to say that we have the best community of people in our facilities. Not a day goes by that we take for granted the love from our family, members and friends who continue to support the vision of changing the way gyms operate.
It's a family operation top to bottom: Two kids, Gym Mom, weekends, holidays, 2 a.m. equipment fixes. And yes — they love their dogs. Ask David about them at the front desk and budget an extra twenty minutes if Skipper and Gracie are there.
The real roster, both houses — crew floats between locations by schedule. Book one-on-one sessions at the front desk.
Meet Sarah, one of our new team members at Oxnard! As a long time gym member she is always one of the nicest people you can get to know. She knows her way around the gym and training so if you have any questions, just ask!
THE CREW — LOCATION 1
Meet Gabe, one of the hardest working people you'll come across. An avid fisher and bodybuilder, he isn't afraid to put in the work in and out of the gym.
THE CREW — LOCATION 1
Meet Larissa, our first ever team member who's been with us since the start. One of the funniest and welcoming people you'll meet! Please say hi if you see her!
THE CREW — LOCATION 1
Official title, not a nickname. Every house needs the one person who checks on you before your warm-up sets do — here, that's Tamah.
GYM MOM — OFFICIAL TITLE
Arneill Rd crew — the second house runs on the flagship's standard, and he's part of the reason it holds.
THE CREW — LOCATION 2
Part of the Arneill Rd crew — first names, honest answers, and a room that stays serious without going cold.
THE CREW — LOCATION 2
Location 2 crew, HOGG cap included. If the floor is in order at Arneill Rd — and it is — the crew did that.
THE CREW — LOCATION 2
House of Gains crew — the shirt says EST. MMXIX, the lease says the same. Both houses, one standard.
THE CREWThe first tiny gym — zero members, zero clue what we were doing. What we had was family, friends and the will to build something from nothing.
One location, one landlord, one idea: Oxnard gets a strength room that means it.
Deadlift days, meet-prep groups, first-timers adopted at the front desk. The culture stops being a plan and starts being a habit.
Same family, same standard, new zip code — 301 Arneill Rd. One membership works at both houses.
Two houses, one standard, still answered by a human. The rest of this page is the proof.
Mission — Verbatim
“Our mission at House of Gains Gym is to provide the best experience for our guests whether it's through our exceptional equipment, amazing atmosphere or great customer service.”
Protocol Documentation
Say the true thing, to the right person, the first time. On the floor and at the front desk — no spin, no passive aggression.
One price, posted. No hidden fees, no fine print, no surprise charges. The same honesty applies to coaching feedback.
PRs are built on warm-ups, sleep, and the sets nobody films. We respect the unglamorous reps — in training and in business.
We know our members' names, their lifts and their goals. Community events aren't marketing — they're the point.
Staff rerack. Staff wipe down. Staff train. The platforms say RESPECT because everyone here — owner included — shows it.
Missed lifts are data. Failed attempts are tuition. We treat every shortfall as the start of the next training block.
Members hold each other accountable. Staff hold the facility accountable. Ownership answers to both. No exceptions by rank.
Show up like the result matters, because it does. Whether it's a first pull-up or a state record — we compete with yesterday.
Four members, on camera, in their own words. Tap a feed to play.
The House — Est. 2019
Tours are usually given by someone whose name is on the lease. Fifteen minutes on the floor and you'll know if this is your house.
