Community Feedback
"I joined this gym about two years ago with absolutely zero knowledge of lifting, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The coaches are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and always willing to give feedback on technique, which made learning feel approachable and safe. Over time, I’ve definitely become stronger and more confident. The gym itself is always clean and well maintained, and the community is welcoming and encouraging, no matter your experience level. A huge bonus is that the gym is dog-friendly. I highly recommend this gym to anyone."

"Warhorse Barbell Club is the best! I've been taking Strong Her strength training classes since the fall, and it's the best decision I've made. Jaclyn, along with the other ladies in the class, truly creates a welcoming environment for all levels of strength training for women. If you been debating on reaching out to learn more, don't hesitate and take this as your sign to sign up/start. Also, it's easily accessible by the L (Spring Garden stop) and many bus lines, which is great, and when I do have to drive, I never have issues finding street parking in the afternoon during weekdays."
