American Barbell Clubs

Gabriel vanDam-Ballard 2 months ago

I like the location, but I feel like they could do better job with equipment and stuff. They should get a safety squat bar that actually has handles. Because the one that they have has no way to grip it, so you actually have to balance it on your shoulders, which is extremely dangerous, A few more hex bars, They don’t have 80 pound Dumbbells so you have to go from 75 to 85, And their treadmills are kind of weak a few of them don’t go up in incline, which sucks, For the name, American Barbell and the notoriety that they get, they can do a lot better. I love their Olympic plates andI like the place though, so I always go here. They just need to invest a little bit of money touch up some of the equipment. They also need to get the big slam bags. All they have is the medicine balls and there’s nowhere to throw them at. PLEASE, DEAR GOD, EXTEND THE HOURS ALSO. 9 PM on Saturdays and Sundays just doesn’t cut it. Make it midnight on weeknights and 10 PM on weekends. There are tons of people that work out here so money should not be an issue

Quick remarks: If you are starting out and want a clean gym to go to with not so many people like the cheaper gyms, and not feeling insecure about yourself, this is the place to go. Intro: I’ve been going here with my partner for over a year now (we are not super serious gym people). Atmosphere: It does get busy in the beginning of the year, but it eventually dies down after a few months. There are less people later in the evening, so you are able to get machines you want. Machines: There are enough squat racks, sometimes you gotta wait, but most of the time you don’t have to if you’re going there at 7pm or later. They have enough treadmills and stairmasters too. I think even though it’s more weightlifting centric, you can still use the treadmill, bike, etc. for your cardio. There are a few machines that should be re-upholstered, but they are generally clean and in good working conditions. People/Community: Since most of these people are serious about weightlifting, they aren’t going to care about you. They literally got their little notebooks with their own stats/goals, so they aren’t going to judge you. If anything, my partner and I got complimented once from someone saying that they see us all the time and to keep up the work! Cons: I think they should clean the ground floor single bathroom, it stinks all the time. I recommend only using the upstairs one. I don’t go showering in the upstairs one, so I don’t know the conditions of that.

best gym in the area. much better than those chains. wish they had TRX area. PROS friendly members and staff. everyone is helpful. great equipment for lifting. they ensure equipment is in working order and are quick on repairs CONS the WiFi is really bad. its a dead zone in the cardio area where you want to stream music or video the most. whoever cleans the gym doesn't do a good job. i've seen them before and they just wipe the machines the same way the guests do. there's dirt and trash in the same areas every day

For the price of membership they should have water refill, wifi sometimes doesn't work. Legs machines have to be recalibrated they don't maintain these machines at all.
