A month in and I can confidently; this Gym is among the absolute best if not the best in all surrounding areas. Everything you need, and more. The true win is in the surrounding energy which is unmatched. 99% Pros and damn near less than 1% cons. Exceptional in every way

This is my first “small box” gym and I’m never going back to commercial gyms like golds or 24hrs.The vibe here is absolutely amazing with great art on walls and friendly people. You’ll love the gym if you love weight training, powerlifting, etc. They have everything you need when it comes to weights.Only one old treadmill which sucks but not a big deal just run outside.Most days there are < 10 people so you won’t have to wait for equipment. Overall great gym.

Definitely the best gym I've ever been a part of. Totally a family vibe where everyone will support you from day one. Facilities and equipment are top notch, and the trainers are outstanding. Can only give 99 Barbell my highest recommendation!

I think this is the epitome of what a gym should be. It's not about the pool, jacuzzis etc but something simple, elegant and makes you feel like you have worked out when you are done. The reasons are listed below:1. Pricepoint: for the amenities that you get from the gym, the pricepoint of the gym is fantastic. You are not paying $100+ rather it is a little above $50. Fantastic price2. Equipment: this gym caters to everyone. True, it is built more with a powerlifter mindset but honestly even if you are a straight body builder, they have the equipment to cater to your needs. In addition to that, they have fantastic platforms for weightlifters and an assortment of bumper plates. In terms of squat racks, i would say they have those in abundance plus they have the little oly squat stands incase all the racks are taken. The owners of this gym have thought of everything.3. Ownership: i get the sense that this gym is a family business and everyone in the family really cares. And when i say everyone, i mean even the father( i presume) of the owner. They are super engaging and i see them walking around talking to members. Sometimes i even see the owners giving advice on form/equipment and infact they actually helped my girlfriend out when she needed some advice on equipment to use. Super engaging and a fun couple.4. Members: legit, the members in this gym must be the most hardworking people i have come across. They push weight and are super social. Am the kind of person that comes in and kinda just works out at the corner and generally likes to keep to himself so i really observe the community. And to be honest there is a community here. I will be honest though, i wish people wouldnt walk right infront of someone in the middle of a clean and jerk or snatch but honestly most gyms dont even know about that so i dont put it against them5. Organisation: there is an app where you can choose your timeslot for working out to prevent overcrowding. They give you sanitization bottles and little rags to clean your equipment when you are done. They have 2 gyms, outdoor and indoor. Its really well thought out and in terms of covid, with this org. i feel really safeThinking of a place to workout, honestly check this gym out.

Amazing gym with top notch equipment! If you are looking a solid gym with really nice equipment, look no further! I was in town for Thanksgiving week and was able to sign up quickly online for a 1 week membership and was able to visit a few times during my stay in the Arcadia area. Suffice to say, I wish there was a gym like this near where I live in NorCal.This is the best strength training gym I've ever been to. Amazing equipment and the staff and members are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The overall vibes and atmosphere was very motivating. 100% worth it!

5 stars equates to perfection and 99 is exactly that. I have been with them since I moved to LA. They are fantastic and tackled covid like a champ.Exceptionally professional and covid compliant and have everything you need to be able to train to expectation.They are 100% committed to being clean.Both Julie and Tim and others keep it absolutely up to date.In my opinion you will not find any better.A powerlifting gym run by powerlifters.

Loved the gym and the extremely friendly sisters who help run it. When I went around noon, there were only a couple of other people. What a shame! The only suggestion I would make to make the place better would be to convert one of the bathrooms into a shower/changing room and to add some lockers.

99 Barbell is an all around great gym, and I recommend it for absolutely anyone. The vibe is great, the equipment is new and super varied. I also signed up for some personal training sessions and I couldn't have been more satisfied.

I have been a trainer for 17 years and my husband and I are very much into lifting. My husband does powerlifting style training and I do a hybrid of powerlifting, bodybuilding, and crossfit. This gym is an absolute gem! They are very welcoming and the members were really helpful in showing me the ropes on my first day of training. Plus, they did an excellent job in equipping their gym. It has everything you need for any type of well rounded training program that one has. I am so excited to have found this place!

Absolutely amazing gym. The moment I walked in I was warmly greeted, and the environment made me feel like my lifts were going to be 10% better. Julie, Jenny, Tim, and the rest of the staff are incredible, plus they have a super cute dog sometimes.The community in this gym is probably the best part, everyone is super helpful, friendly, and supportive, so knock out those PR's. Speaking of PR's, there's an awesome Eastern style gate behind a bench press so you can take a legendary photo as you get gains.The gym is fully stocked with power cages, deadlifting mats, trap bars, plyo boxes, foam rollers, resistance bands, microplates, bumper plates, tons of barbells (at least 99 lol), poppin music, and plenty of machines. There's a large room with spin cycles, and is perfect for stretching or plyometrics as well. Also, there's great monthly rates. There's no excuse to not go here.
