Community Feedback
"I’ve been going here for about 2 years now and was trained by Amanda for a year and it’s been the best gym experience I’ve ever had. I’m a runner, I don’t powerlift and have no intention to do so. While most of this community is powerlifting, I’ve never felt judged or looked down on - everyone is SO NICE! I’ve trained for marathons, MS 150 bike rides, ultra trail runs, motherhood and more here - don’t let the big muscles on someone else intimidate you from chasing your goals! 813 Barbell is a no bullshit gym and all are welcome - thanks for being my fitness community! 🙌"

"Came into town to visit family and found this place on google. I was so impressed! Super responsive owners to my questions, and an amazing week drop in price. If you are training for powerlifting, strongman, crossfit, weight lifting, or need a place that isn't over run with people; this is it. They have every bar option you would want, open space and platforms, and some great accessory machine options. What really put it over the top was how clean the facilty was. You can feel the love and commitment the owners and members have for this facility."
