I've been a member at WNC Barbell for over 12 years. I've always enjoyed working out there and always having access 24 hours a day makes working out easier. Greg and his staff work hard to keep the gym and equipment up to date. Thanks WNC Barbell

I love this place. They have everything you need and the best part is that they are open 24hr. Workers there are very polite and just chill! I love the rugged look of it all. Makes you feel like you’re in one of those body builder gyms 👏🏼👏🏼 I’m definitely recommending this place to everyone!! …

We go to the gym 4-5 times a week. We’ve been members for many years. The environment is extremely comfortable and professional. Great staff. Clean environment. Exercise equipment is updated and fits all of our needs.

Greg and the staff are very helpful with the proper use of the equipment and any questions you may have regarding nutrition. The facility and equipment is extremely clean. There is always chemicals and towels for patronts to use, and available. The atmosphere is always extremely friendly. I would recommend wnc barbell to anyone looking for a gym facility, or wanting a change. This is also a 24/7 facility, which I love.

For me this gym works perfectly. It's low-key and not flashy like some of the other gyms but that's perfect! I like the fact that it's locally-owned by a small business owner and not some corporate behemoth. The gym has plenty of weights and plenty of machines and areas to do stretches and cardio and such. The staff and patrons are friendly. The 24/7 option is great so you can come anytime. I definitely recommend this gym!

Lower key 'local' gym, with simple structural lay out, great range of machines, free weights (you won't run out of weights.....) and most important of all, it was spotlessly clean. The outside might give the impression it is just a shed, but it actually is a REALLY good facility and worth a visit and or a membership. Good experience.

Absolutely love this gym! Its a gym to train hard, no bells and whistles but all the equipment you could ever ask for and its in good working order. Love its age, reminds me of an old bodybuilding and powerlifting oriented gym. They have very reasonable prices and no bureaucracy. You guys rock!

Going here has helped me so much. I have never felt that comfortable in a gym before but I do here - WNC Barbell is probably the only place I feel is what a gym should be like. Thanks Greg and your team for the effort you put in to make this place welcoming to ALL especially with all the new updates and renovations you have done. Thanks.

I've worked out here a few times with clients. Good looking gym. Hours are a little short for me and I'd like some type of Sunday option but for most people they would be fine. Clean with a good selection of weights, plus there is a martial arts following here so if you like to spar you have that option.
