Joining this gym has changed my life! I attend the south location for early morning workouts (known as the breakfast club) and it is in my opinion the best gym in South Austin! Great atmosphere, perfect programming, lots of options for any level regardless of experience. I had no strength training prior, but now can comfortably snatch, clean, and jerk, as well as plethora of accessory workouts provided by the gyms Team builder/ Push press app. As a native South-Austinite with a full time blue collar job, I would absolutely recommend this hidden gym (pun-intended).

I recently got back into Oly Lifting a few months ago after not lifting since college. It was very important to me to find a gym with experienced and certified Oly coaches, and a warm and friendly community of fellow lifters. Austin Barbell has exceeded my expectations for both. Great facility, great coaches, great community. Excellent for beginners and experienced lifters alike.

Austin Barbell has wonderful and welcoming environment. Where the people come first and everyone is treated equal. The coaches and the community are very supportive and laid back. The gym consists of athletes of all ranges and the coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive. I am a former competitor and have been part of this sport for over a decade. I've been to many gyms and what I find here is rare. I recommend anyone looking for a community to visit.

I trained at Austin Barbell Club (South) while temporarily in town on a consulting job. I can honestly say it’s one of the best weightlifting gyms I’ve been to. The facility is top-notch — spacious and fully equipped with all the latest gear from barbells, weights, squat racks and Olympic platforms. There's also a separate room specifically designated for squatting and pulls. It's perfect for the beginning lifter to the seasoned pro. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommend if you’re looking to get strong! Competing requires discipline, a greater commitment to one self to aim for higher, and grit to keep going no matter how many times you get knocked down. The high scorers of grit in studies have shown to have better resilience. How do you train grit, commitment, and discipline? I found a way that works for me is Austin Barbell South. I’ve noticed improvement in my personal life, service to others and overall well being. Wisdom and character are a couple of things I hope people can remember me for. Lifting the barbell and firing off motor neurons with that type of training helps develop those for me. I recently did my first American Open Series 2 and the support was phenomenal. Competing and stepping out of my comfort zone has really helped me grow in ways I needed to.

Austin barbell is an amazing community, the coaches and athletes are so supportive. I came into oly lifting without any experience and always felt welcomed, I had to take a break for personal reasons but would highly recommend training here!

I’ve been training for since April 2023 at North Barbell Club and I highly recommend it! 1. Coaching: Rob, Christine, and Luis are fantastic coaches and know the exact tips and prompts to get you to understand what you need to do to improve your lifts. 2. Community: there is a great group at Austin Barbell, and the atmosphere during workouts is supportive, energizing, and fun! The community is also incredibly welcoming regardless of age, gender, or experience. 3. Growth: I’ve improved my strength and my confidence over the past 3 months! I hope to enter my first competition this year and know I will be ready when the time comes. Update 10/23: Competing: If you are interested in competing this is a great place to get involved! I just competed in my first meet and it was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to do more.

I joined ABB almost a year ago, and couldn’t be happier with how my experience has been. From the beginning the coaches have welcomed me and made me feel comfortable learning a sport that I had little background in. I would recommend ABB to anyone, from beginnings to even the most experienced weight lifters.
