Fantastic experience: If you have the slightest interest in any strength sport, this is the place to go. Pretty much any and every piece of equipment you could want, the other gym goers are super friendly and the owner is very personable.

Fantastic experience: I love this club. I don't think I've ever worked out anywhere where there is as much comraderie, smiles, laughter, and general acceptance for all levels of strength and all body types. This is an LGBTQ+ safe space. Lots of lifting equipment and free weights in a variety of weight ranges. Minimal space for agility exercises but folks are respectful if you need space to work. Limited cardio equipment. 1 of each: treadmill, bike, rowing.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Calibrated Powerlifting equipment, proper racks, platforms, heavy dumbbells, and all the machines you need. Industrial garage gym vibes with friendly owners & staff who let you drop weights!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the best powerlifting gym in Victoria, this is the one. Victoria barbell is a gym that carries virtually everything that is necessary and more for a powerlifter. They have a handful of power racks, calibrated plates, and multiple stiff bars. In addition, they also have a great community that are very friendly. No matter the level you lift at, this gym and the community treats everybody with respect. Victoria barbell is a friendly gym that is inviting for all people. The only thing to consider when being a member here is the traffic and colwood crawl after work. However, to remedy this, once you become a member you do get an access card that gives you 24/7 access. Overall, this is the best bang for your buck powerlifting gym in Victoria. I highly recommend everyone to try dropping in at least once.

Fantastic experience: Back in November Jason helped me out with some personal training and taught me (a person new to barbell training) how to perform the main barbell lifts with proper form. Jason also created a great program for me based on the equipment I have at my home gym. I found the price to be fantastic compared to other places and Jason is a great trainer. Overall would definitely recommend to others, thanks Jason.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely killer. Love this place. It's a bit out of the way for me but it's worth the drive. Seems a bit small at first but its packed. Even when the gym is busy there is lots available. Wide variety of bars, hack squat, belt squat. Aside from the equipment, the feeling you get here is amazing. No BS, just show up and train. Chalk available, smelling salts in the vending machine. I'm usually here late and I get the place to myself. Plug into the aux cord, blast some tunes and get to work.

Positive experience: 5 stars as a powerlifting gym, 4 stars if you're looking for strongman. Could use more specialty equipment and an area specific for it. But I assume not many members are active strongman competitors

Fantastic experience: I got the honour to help Jason train the athletes for the special Olympics. As someone who supports people with disabilities, I'm used to the ones I support getting ignored in public if they try to communicate with someone. I never witnessed anyone that goes to this gym ignore or talk down to the folks we were training. This made me extremely happy because sometimes you may be the only interaction someone with a disability has that is outside of their family or caregivers. Because of this, it shows that Victoria Barbell strives to make their community accepting, friendly, and encouraging.
