East Coast Barbell

Fantastic experience: When I went for a tour I was so impressed.Well laid out gym.Very friendly staff.I am returning to possibly lifting again and think it could actually happen at East Coast Barbell.i have had my first training session and could not believe how sore I was the next day but that won't happen everytime.My goal is to stay focused and try every time I go to do my best .

Fantastic experience: Got a chance to check it out and put in some quick cardio. Can't wait to keep my workouts going here!

Fantastic experience: This was a super nice gym I used while passing through Dartmouth! Clean, lots of equipment, friendly staff and members! Lots of powerlifting, equipment, as well as machines and cardio equipment. They have a nice big turf as well!

Fantastic experience: When my partner and I travel we always make a point to visit the most interesting independent gyms in the area. East Coast Barbell did not disappoint, clean, not busy, high quality equipment, a really good feel to the gym. It’s in our top 2 we’ve ever visited, definitely will be back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome clean and well laid out gym with a great selection of barbells, plates (lb & kg), squat racks, benches, etc.

Fantastic experience: Erik and Lauren are some of the most positively involved owners of a small business in the HRM I've seen. They have formed great relationships with almost every member here at ECB. Erik is an outstanding trainer and worth every dollar as he is truly invested in not only your athletic but personal growth. Lauren strives to create an exclusive and strong social bond within the membership creating a welcoming, exciting and friendly community. Couldn't be prouder to be apart of such an amazing community. There new space is amazing and the training opportunities range from high level sport specific training, to power lifting to even some Japanese swordplay!

Fantastic experience: We came to NS to drive the Cabot Trail, but decided we wanted to find a local gym to get a workout in. In our vacation planning, ECB popped up and I knew we I wanted to try it out… having never been to a power lifting gym, nor worked with calibrated plates. I liked the idea of a single proprietor gym vs big box. Upon contacting them, they were so quick to return emails and even called me before the trip to make sure everything would be set for us. When we got there, they greeted us with that East Coast Hospitality and we felt like we were home We got a tour, chatted about home and our vacation, and the next day we went and worked out Super clean facility… organized and tidy weights, racks and platforms. I had an amazing workout (I burned off some of the seafood chowder I’d eaten haha). I wanna thank the staff, they were so kind and friendly, and we’ll definitely go back next time we’re in NS. Gonna wear my ECB hoodie in my hometown!

Positive experience: Awesome place

Fantastic experience: Best powerlifting gym in HRM!!! It has an inviting atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming!!! No biases or judgements (race, gender, size/shape, etc), you can work in with others when/if equipment is not available, someone is always ready & willing to assist. And the rates are reasonable too. I love being part of this small but mighty team!!!!

Fantastic experience: Best powerlifting gym with an awesome culture and great equipment to train for powerlifting or general strength/resistance training

Fantastic experience: East Coast Barbell quickly became my new home for lifting. Dartmouth was missing a powerlifting focused gym, and the last few years I’ve bounced around commercial gyms in the area. East Coast Barbell has top equipment, top tier owners, and top tier community. Everyone is welcome to have fun, and get strong in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! All the Right Equipment and Friendly Staff / Customers... All Around great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, supportive community and incredible owners - could not recommend this gym more!

Fantastic experience: The community at ECB is unmatched and deserves it's own 5 stars. ECB has the most welcoming and supportive environment for all members and visitors. ECB offers 24/7 access to high performance equipment and training to accommodate every type of schedule. Training at ECB has been the best experience in a gym I've ever had. If you are looking for a gym with top notch equipment, genuine owners, and the best community, then look no further!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been to; community is fantastic and so supportive, I’ve made some great friends who encourage and push me to lift, I have so much fun, there’s tons of great equipment and space to workout, everything is amazing here and I could not recommend a better gym!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and owners.

Fantastic experience: Best lifting community in Halifax

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym available 24/7, outfitted with the best barbells and power lifting gear in Dartmouth and the staff & members are very friendly
