Fantastic experience: This is a first class business in every respect. Adrian made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and his patience, humor and extensive fitness knowledge made him a joy to deal with. When I had a personal issue that forced me to take a break from training, Adrian went above and beyond to accommodate me. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to start something that you’re ready to stick to… I suggest giving Barebell Base a chance. Adrian and the other trainers pull out the BEST workouts! And if you start going at the same time you start developing the accountability that, for me at least, seems to always be missing when you try to go to the gym on your own. Classes are small so if you’re new to fitness and worried about form, you always have someone there to gently correct you. And if you’re a fitness buff you’ve got that same person pushing you to lift heavier, step up a move, and just generally cheer you on. This is what I was missing in fitness when I tried to do it on my own. I can’t wait to see what’s next for me here!

Corey Snelgrove 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Barbell Base for about three months now. I have joined gyms before but this is my first time with a small group training format. The workouts are well thought-out and challenging, the coaches are supportive (i.e., coaching form and technique) and flexible (i.e., adjust workouts to any potential injury), and fellow gym members are encouraging too. I certainly have more energy than when I started and I'm already starting to feel stronger. I am so glad I joined this gym!

The workouts are challenging and well thought out with clear purpose of knowledge behind them. The community is a wide range of fitness levels with trainers always there to adjust form or substitute an exercise to ensure overall success and safety.

Lindsey E 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the Barbell Base just a couple months ago, but I will say I was on a path of stagnation and struggling to start and they pulled me out of it.. Years of hiking and sports injuries had convinced me I’d never do physically hard things again. But here I am with more confidence and feeling stronger than I have in years! Though I was anxious to begin, everyone made me feel sooo welcome and encouraged! Rhonda’s 5:30am class even turned me into a semi-morning person haha, and Adrian has been great with answering questions and helping me get started as well. Very highly recommend if you’re at a breaking point, wanting healthy changes, and need accountability like me. Or if you just want more structure and community with your workouts.

Vance Ward 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the Barbell Base a couple of months ago, as I was looking for something different from the workouts I was used to, particularly more resistance training. One of the things I liked immediately was the structure—the workouts are well put together, and seem to allow for a full body workout every time, with a good amount of variety to keep things interesting! I also like that the class sizes are small enough to allow the personal trainers to keep an eye on my form. The cold towels at the end of a workout are also a nice touch. If you’re looking for flexibility, a great workout, and awesome trainers, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Barbell base in March 2024 after recovering from a surgery and after not being very active for a long time. They have made the experience of re-starting my fitness journey amazing. I have felt very challenged while supported to do things in a way that keeps me injury free. Highly recommend The Barbell Base. It had been wonderful and everyone says I am getting Michelle Obama arms.

The trainers are amazing, helping and encouraging every step of the workout. The atmosphere is motivating and inviting. I joined the base to vary my workouts and did they ever. I pushed and challenged myself all thanks to the motivating coaches. I gained muscle and confidence. I also enjoyed meeting all the other members, it’s a wonderful sense of community. I look forward to each workout and the knowledge from each session. Thank you Barbell Base team for making me strong! -Alia Chadi

Danielle Trueman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The Base was recommended by a friend and I was skeptical to join because I have a serious hip injury and I’m waiting for a hip replacement. I worried they wouldn’t understand my limitations and that I probably couldn’t even keep up being so out of shape. But after my consultation with Anthony, I was optimistic. It’s been almost 4 months and I feel so much stronger and healthier already. I’m still waiting for a hip replacement but I’ve steadily gained strength in my bad leg, my gait is better, my hip pain is reduced, and my capacity for physical activity is much greater. I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt during a time when I’d expect to feel the worst. This gym is not just for fitness buffs, it’s for average folks. The workouts are inclusive for people of all fitness and skill levels. The trainers pay close attention to my needs and weaknesses. They modify any exercises that cause me pain and ensure I still get a full body workout. They even incorporate my physiotherapy exercises into my workouts. I know they’re genuinely committed to my success. I’m feeling confident for surgery and I look forward to my recovery journey at The Base. Thanks Barbell Base!!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Barbell Base almost 2 months ago and it has been some of the best strength training I've ever done. There are so many elements that contribute to it being the best place. The workouts are so well programmed and enjoyable, the community and support makes it fun and motivating, the equipment and coaching makes it "easy" and seamless to get your workout in! I've been training in different capacities my whole life and I've already hit a few PR's at the Barbell Base. There are plenty of time slots to choose throughout the day and the small group sessions make you feel like you're getting that personal coaching. The coaching team is also super engaged in your goals and success! 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with the gains that I had by coming to the Barbell Base. I just started coming to the Base in January 2023, and not only I feel stronger now, but I saw an objective increase in muscle mass in just 6 months of working out with them. This has been the most consistent I've ever been and the 1st time I've seen results. What I like most is their program style. They do periodization so I can get better in a program and monitor my progress, before it changes to a new one after several weeks or so. This way, I never get tired of their workouts as there's always something to look forward to, and that helps surpassing through any plateus that I always had in the past. The personal training in a group environment makes me more accountable and challenged when working out, and most importantly, made it possible for me to afford a personal trainer in every single workout. At the Base, I just have to book a class, come in & have fun working out, and leave. Perfect for those who are busy and can't afford a 1-on-1 personal training. Whatever your fitness goals maybe, I highly recommed the Barbell Base! The community feel and their awesome coaches will keep you coming back.

Fantastic experience: This gym has completely changed my fitness routine. It’s a very friendly, non-judgemental space with highly skilled staff. The owner and trainers clearly care so much about every detail of your experience. They have found a perfect balance of a carefully thought out workout, and friendly chatter between things, and an ice cold towel and high five at the end. They’ve created a very positive atmosphere that is easy to look forward to. The small classes gives a sense of familiarity and accountability that makes it easier to get yourself there on the days that you reeeally don’t feel like going. I’d highly recommend this local gem to anybody

Staff have all been very welcoming and are well educated in their field. Never have I felt judged or given a negative vibe. I would recommend the Base to anyone. Cheers

The small class sizes and flexible schedule allow for a personalized approach to your fitness routine.

All of the trainers are amazing and they have built a supportive community of clients that encourage each other to reach their fitness goals. I'm happy to support a local business with talented people that are invested in my success. Thank you, Barbell Base!

Fantastic experience: When I joined BB I was not a fan of group fitness however what Anthony and the team over at BB have built is so much more than a group fitness class. The classes are limited to a handful of individuals at a time and the workouts are tailor made for maximum performance. I gained 5lbs of muscle in one month and gained a substantial amount of strength. More than that the small class sizes promote a sense of community and I found myself looking forward to every session not only for the workout but for the people and coaches that create the soul of this facility. Everyone is at a different level and everyone encourages each other. Between sets we get to idle chat and I got to know some fantastic people. Their workouts helped me achieve my goal of becoming a Correctional Peace officer and at almost 40 years old I was able to perform at a level that suggested I am younger than I am. Unfortunately I’ve had to put aside my time at BB for personal reasons but I find myself thinking about them often and I am looking forward to the day that I can join them again. If you’re looking for a place to learn how to lift weights or challenge yourself as a veteran lifter BB has something for you.

Fantastic experience: The Barbell Base is a really amazing gym. I wanted to get back to exercising regularly, but I wasn't at all keen to start going to a giant gym. The Barbell Base turned out to be the perfect alternative. The staff are all fantastic and attentive during workouts, correcting form and keeping everyone on track. The workouts are varied and really well balanced, with something different to do every day. Best of all, the atmosphere and sense of community at the gym is incredible. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly and are generally there just to get healthier. It makes for a really low pressure environment and with the small class sizes it feels like going to work out with a bunch of friends rather than a bunch of faceless people who are only in it for the gainz.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Barbell Base for several months now and I really like the whole training team. I have taken classes with every trainer now and they are all great - patient, understand the level you are at and where you want to go, and they make it feel inevitable that you will see results. I have definitely felt better and seen results in my muscles and with other sports I do like skiing and basketball. I am looking forward to more months ahead and more progress.

Positive experience: The classes are good and there is a sense of community. However not all the instructors have the same level of experience and it can be frustrating working with an instructor who contradicts other instructors and gives incorrect information. Ultimately, I left as it was too difficult to adjust my schedule to the instructors at the Barbell base.

Fantastic experience: The Barbell Base is an awesome gym…welcoming, challenging and fun! I am 51 years old, I have tried many gyms, work out ideas and home equipment, but unfortunately nothing ever really stuck…I rarely stuck to a routine. The Barbell Base has been amazing…the coaches Anthony, Adrian and Megan are awesome…super friendly, knowledgeable and so encouraging. I had never really tried weight lifting before, under their watchful eyes and guidance, I soon felt very comfortable doing the workouts and definitely felt a difference in my body and personal strength. The small class setting is great…so much personal attention to ensure proper form and safety. Classes fly by in no time (I mean that sincerely), exercises are modifiable according to each individual’s strengths and limitations. Barbell Base members (young and young at heart) are so welcoming and supportive of each other. The Barbell Base is a gem of a gym! I’m so happy that I decided to join…I would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone who is interested in treating their bodies and minds to a wonderful workout with amazing instructors and members!:)

Fantastic experience: I joined the Barbell Base about seven weeks ago. I started off with only twice a week, and very quickly upgraded to the membership that lets me attend whenever I wish. This is the first week that I will have attended all six days! The crew at the Barbell Base are awesome. Anthony, Adrian, and Falon are amazing (qualified and experienced) instructors who not only are there to motivate you, but to ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly. I have never been a gym guy, have tried in the past, even have a home gym, but it has never been compelling for me. The Barbell Base has converted me! I really value the daily workouts, the community of people who come to work out are great, and the mostly check-ins give you feedback as to how you are progressing. If you have thought about getting active, or want to take your fitness to the next level, I would highly recommend The Barbell Base. The intimate workouts, a max of six people, to one instructor is a great ratio, and the mix of exercise, with an emphasis on core strength with weights and a little cardio thrown in for good measure is a great balanced approach to getting stronger and more fit overall. There is no excuse to delay or avoid anymore, with this amazing fitness facility at your ready service. Anthony says that you can even pop in for a consult and a workout to give it a test run, but I know that once you give it a go, you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: This is not a gym it’s a community! I have always felt a little uncomfortable at other gyms, they were always kind of cold and intimidating. I was looking for a change and some motivation to get back to the gym after covid! The owner Anthony had reached at just the right time. I went for my consultation with Adrian and there has been no turning back. Everyone is so kind and they truly want you to succeed and reach your goals whatever that may look like. When I’m asked how my work out was the response is always “I’m going to die, but man I love this place”. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

All different shapes, sizes, and age groups here which is so refreshing coming from the previous “high-end” gym I was at. I feel very comfortable at Barbell Base. The trainers are knowledgeable and very welcoming. And the other members are so friendly! I’m just a newbie but I think I will be sticking around for years to come!

Fantastic experience: I love spending my mornings at the Barbell Base! All of the trainers - Anthony, Adrian, and Megan - are extremely knowledgable and push you to your limits, while still ensuring good form. The workouts provide variety, are easy to accommodate with limited range of movement / injury, and promise a good sweat. The environment is encouraging and promotes a sense of community. I'm so happy to continue my fitness journey with the Base! Thank you for creating this space!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Barbell Base since November and can not say enough good things. I have never been more consistent with my fitness goals and my mental health is exponentially better because of it. The people I have gotten to know and workout with every week make the workouts that much more fun and we all push each other to be better than the following week. The trainers are consistently checking in to create goals that are achievable and pushing us every day to hit those goals. I have already noticed significant progress in my workouts, hitting new PRs regularly. I’ve had the pleasure of working with every one of the trainers and they each bring their own knowledge and challenges to every workout and are so welcoming and accommodating to all experience levels. Not once have I ever felt out of place there. It’s a community of motivated people lifting each other up. I’m so grateful I took the scary step out of my comfort zone and had a consultation with Anthony, because not only do I feel more confident in myself than I have in years, I am excited about my health like I’ve never been before. If you’ve been on the fence about getting serious about your fitness, the Barbell Base is where it’s at!

Fantastic experience: I just recently started training at the Barbell Base and it has been the most supportive and incredible experience I could ever imagine! After months of hesitation I finally took the plunge and booked a consultation with Anthony, and the only regret I have is not joining sooner! If your looking for a place to have fun, be supported by the trainers and other members of the gym, the Barbell base is the place!

Tracy Vokins 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love the Barbell Base. I’ve worked with several personal trainers in the past, but I have never received the detailed coaching on form and technique that Anthony, Megan, and Adrian provide. I have an old injury that they carefully coach me through and provide adaptations to both accommodate and strengthen. I also love the small group sessions. It adds a little bit of fun, sometimes an extra challenge (when someone beside you decides to lift heavier), and makes an hour long workout go by in a snap. The body composition testing they offer helps me to monitor how my efforts are paying off. I haven’t felt this dedicated to my personal fitness in years! I always look forward to my workouts with the team at the Barbell Base. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this place! I have felt seen for where I am at in my fitness journey, including injuries that require modifications. I have felt challenged and encouraged to go further and try new things! The trainers are incredibly encouraging, personable, and considerate. I love the small class sizes and opportunity to learn from and get to know some great people. Going to a gym is a new experience but I am grateful for Anthony and his team who not only create an environment that is welcoming to all but also are invested in each and every person who comes through their doors!!

Fantastic experience: In love with with this gym and the trainer's! If you're looking for a workout environment that provides one on one coaching, but the fun of group training... This is it! Anthony and his team tailor each workout to your specific health, and body goals. For someone like myself who has no idea where to start at a gym, or with weights, Barbell Base has been a game changer. From the workouts at the studio, to personally made workouts for you in their app, it's easy to crush 3 workouts a week. I feel more confident in a gym environment and I feel personally motivated to continue on my fitness goals. Thank you so much!!!

Fantastic experience: The Barbell Base is a great place to meet your fitness goals. I really enjoy working out but going to regular gyms often left me wondering if i was doing the right exercises to get the results that i wanted but this place does an amazing job addressing your fitness goals and prescribing workouts that work for you - and you get to learn proper alignment so you don't injure yourself! I highly recommend this place!

Madison Tarrant 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Barbell Base since their doors opened on September 1, 2021, and it has honestly been the best decision. The programing can be intense but it's also so fun at the same time. HUGE SHOUTOUT to Anthony and Taylor for pushing me to keep going every session and helping me reach my goals every month! The environment at this gym is so welcoming, so friendly, so supportive and honestly the best gym experience I have ever had. I am so happy to be apart of the Barbell Base community! I couldn't recommend this place enough :)

Fantastic experience: For someone who was not a big fan of working out alone, I decided to give The Barbell Base a try and I do not regret it one bit. The environment is so welcoming, and Anthony, Becky, and Taylor only contribute to that by being so kind and supportive through your fitness journey. If you are looking for a judgement-free, fun, cost efficient, and energetic new gym... I highly recommend giving Barbell Base a try!!
