RCF Barbell Club

Dropping in here for a few sessions while traveling and it’s a great setup! People were super friendly, nice selection of powerlifting gear. Nice to not fall off the wagon while traveling.

Awesome community and in Seattle city limits best setup for competitive powerlifting

Awesome place if your a barbell athlete of any kind. They made it super easy to get a week pass while i was visiting Seattle. Gym atmosphere is great and members were welcoming and kind

Truly one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Worked with me with a situation I had and overall the friendliest of service and environments! Thank you guys so much again Leanna & Ben!

Walked in for the first time and was the most welcoming gym I've ever been to. Not just that the people were great but I felt like i never wanted to leave. The range of equipment is not like any other gym and is a dream for any powerlifter. VERY highly recommend, never been to a gym like this one.

The owners, Ben and Leanna are awesome! The gym environment is great and really welcoming - members are friendly, and the equipment is A1. Competition bars, racks, plates, along with deadlift platforms, a weightlifting platform, full dumbbell rack, some power racks, a turf runway with sled, and accessory equipment. A great place for experienced and novice lifters alike. It's also open 24/7.

Excellent gym - everything you would ever want as a powerlifter or olympic lifter! There's even free access to a complete other gym, only a few blocks away, with additional machines, racks, and cardio equipment.The owners, Ben and Leanna, have built a great community and atmosphere; it is truly a warm and welcoming environment. Wonderful mix of members from all walks of life. Could not recommend this place enough and very happy to have this place after going to a big-box commercial gym for several years.

RCF is such an incredible gym and I feel lucky that I’m able to be part of such a strong, supportive community. Extremely high quality equipment, plenty of racks, barbells, plates, dumbells, etc. In terms of cleanliness and covid protocols, I started training here during the summer, in the midst of the pandemic, and I felt very safe at the gym. Ben and Leanna do a great job of ensuring the safety of all of their members by keeping a strict mask policy, which is so appreciated. I also feel very comfortable as a female athlete here. I’ve been to to so many gyms where I feel uncomfortable for what I’m wearing or how I’m training, but I have never once felt that at RCF. Highly, highly recommend this gym to any powerlifter, weightlifter, or gym goer.

I love working out here. Ben and Leanna are incredible owners, and curate an environment that is supportive, encouraging, and also builds holistically strong athletes. Even those who are taking their training incredibly seriously are open to greeting new members and making sure that they feel welcomed, no matter what weight is on the bar.As a female lifter, I feel supported and encouraged by the other people in the gym. The owners also prioritize creating a space that is welcoming to those who may otherwise feel excluded fromother strength spaces, meaning that the space while having elite gear and athletes, also prioritizes an environment that is inclusive and community driven.When people are going for a heavy lift, they are encouraged by those around them. If someone doesn’t know the correct form and asks for help or feedback, someone is always willing to give it (but not unsolicited.)Can’t wait to continue to see our members crush state records AND continue being awesome community members. This space is about more than just getting strong, but you’ll also probably get really strong ;)I’d also like to add that there’s respect for and practice of body positivity. People of all shapes and sizes are encouraged and supported as athletes. Ben and Leanna are very responsive to any concerns or complaints about any behavior that would take away from prioritizing this being a safe space for anyone to work out in.... including not wearing your mask in a way that is safest for other members (looking at you, one star review guy that never has been step foot in RCF Barbell).

RCF Barbell Club is a great place for those that are barbell enthusiasts! Ben and Leanne (owners of the gym) have created a welcoming community if you are a beginner or a long time lifter. I've been lifting for 5+ years and my girlfriend just started last year. They have every piece of equipment you could need as well.If you ever have an issue or a question, Ben and Leanne are always there to listen. Also - willing to help in anyway. Great place to lift. 10/10 recommend.
