WOW! This place has got eeeverything! If you're serious about getting in the best shape of your life, this is the place. AND, the first visit is always FREE. Why wouldn't someone give this place a try? I'm in from out of town. I travel all over the country. Hardcore Barbell is the best gym I've been to in my travels. I'd certainly drop my membership at home and join this place if it was anywhere near my home. Seriously, anything "lifting related", they have it! McGlashen Stones? Are you kidding me?!?! Too cool. I do the same ole workouts all the time. There would always be something new, interesting, and, more importantly, challenging to do here. Great vibe. Loved it. 5 stars isn't enough.

The owner is committed to taking care of his clients, both in word and deed. He makes everyone feel welcome, every training session personalized...and WILL NOT let you waste your money. He'd rather not take it if you're not clear on your own intentions. The facility is clean, no apparatus is broken. This place is about results. Go there if you want some.

Awesome gym. A lot of equipment and not a lot of fake tik tok influencers…. really can’t ask for more.

Overall decent gym , terrible communication and not the best ownership. Hopefully in the future it gets better but it is currently subpar.

Rad gym, rad people. There is so much in the way of equipment, and I love the vibe of everyone there. It has a lot of great stuff for powerlifting, strongman, and bodybuilding. I especially love the turf area with the sleds! The owner is also amazing and opened his doors to hosting our Special Olympics team, without batting an eye! Craig is knowledgeable and loves to spread that knowledge to everyone.

As a young female who is getting into powerlifting, it can be hard to find a place that isn't intimidating or that feels welcoming. When I toured this place, I instantly knew this was going to be my new favorite spot. Craig, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and really cares for his gym and the people that come here. This isn't like any conventional gym, it is so much more, as each piece of equipment is practical and functional and serves a purpose.The name is fitting, this place is hardcore and you will feel hardcore being here. My confidence has gone up ever since I started lifting here!

My favorite gym I’ve ever been to! Has great quality equipment (everything you need and more) and an overall atmosphere that makes you want to work harder. The owner, Craig, is super friendly and helpful with any questions. Highly recommend!

This is a power lifting gym and has the equipment for this purpose. IF you are a power lifter and know the equipment and how to use it - this place could be a good choice to do the training.For now the gym is packed with things and has a little room for a lot of people.If you visit this gym once, while on your trip, you'll love it.If you are just a beginner, you better have a big pockets...The name describes well the people here - they are hardcore, but not friendly, love their own accomplishments, and look at you from the above. You have to prove yourself "worth" of their approval.The gym is very expensive. Though a lot of "deals" are offered on the website, no details are given - you have to ask in person and, be sure, you'll be lost in the details. There are 39 membership deals and if you hear the details about a half of them, you'll forget where you started. For your own safety, don't sign to any deal, unless you read carefully all the details. And remember, the agreement you'll sign is not to protect you and your rights, but the owner's.
