Brussels Barbell

Expérience fantastique: Steve and Zoe were very very welcoming The place was crafted with utmost care and love Very clean Feels like training at home.

Expérience fantastique: very friendly and welcoming environment

Expérience fantastique: A good friend of mine recommended this gym, great place and Very friendly atmosphere. I Would recommend everyone to visit this place.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! I dropped in for a visit and had a great session here. The team was super welcoming and the gym dog was on hand to give some coaching cues and words of encouragement. You have every bit of strength training kit you could need here, and there are lot of small touches that show there's a lot of care that goes into the the facility and trainees experience!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing experience at Brussels Barbell, top class equipment and a coach that truely cares about his clients! Absolutely Recommend

Expérience fantastique: I had two Sessions with the owner, Steve, at the Gym in November 24, since it was at that time the nearest Starting Strength Gym. It was a great experience. Steve as a coach is knowledgeable and radiates motivation and reassurance. The atmosphere in the Gym is extremely relaxed, almost familiar.

Expérience fantastique: One of the best and nicest gym I've set foot in. Rogue power racks, powerlifting barbells from a variety of brands, specialty bars (eg. deadlift bars, safety bars and more), lifting platforms and plates as far as the eye can see, couldn't ask for more equipment. Steve and his team were all so incredibly friendly and generous. If you're ever looking for a place to train in Brussels I can't recommend Brussels Barbell enough, the best atmosphere, the nicest people and all the equipment you need! I hope I'll get to train there again sometime.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training in this place for a year now and I can safely say they changed my life. It is such an investment in your health and wellbeing, I am only sorry not to have started earlier in my life. I feel so much better, my back, my sleeping, my mood, my stress levels...everything got better within weeks of starting the program. The staff is super professional, kind, helpful, they listen to you, they push you to become stronger. The best part is to be received by Zoey wanting pets (and asking for food :) )

Expérience fantastique: What a great place! All the coaches are fantastic: encouraging, knowledgeable and super friendly. Plus, you actually get to train, which is not always a given. Thank you so much guys!!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing strength training gym with experienced and enthusiastic coaches. There is a good balance of all genders and ages, beginners and more experienced lifters. Everyone is truly welcome, and you get coffee and cookies as a bonus ;)

Expérience fantastique: Brussels Barbell is the perfect place to go if you're starting out with strength training. You get one to one coaching which helps you increase the weights in the safest and fastest way possible. The coaches are always helping you to improve your technique and the atmosphere is friendly and fun. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: First the hard facts: after 5 months here, having never touched a barbell before, I am stronger and feel better both physically and mentally than ever (at 40 yo). Secondly, the most important part: this gym and its spirit really are second to none. The coaches are outstanding, and support your every rep and overall development in the most dedicated, efficient and holistic way. All this surrounded by the friendliest, most inclusive and encouraging community of people of all genders, ages and levels of experience. It feels like you're accidentally getting seriously strong while having a coffee and a chat in somebody's living room. Steve & team - I cannot thank you enough for showing me your beautiful world of strength training! Could honestly not recommend this place more highly. The fact that they also have the sweetest gym dog in the world is just cherry on top.

Expérience fantastique: I can't recommend this gym enough. The coaches are all, to a person, outstanding. They're attentive, deeply knowledgeable and concerned with finding the right progression route for you individually. At multiple times they've given feedback on my technique in comparison with sessions from long ago, or known my targets off by heart before I even remembered them! It's so, so rare to meet coaches so invested in their work and their clients that they go out of their way to really understand the specific training needs and path of each person who trains there The place is also just fun. Plenty of quirky sense of humour, plenty of banter. There's a real energy to the place, it's full of laughs, doesn't take itself too seriously and it's packed to the brim with positivity and encouragement - both from the coaches and the clients. It's a place that really takes pride in being welcoming to everyone, regardless of your starting level. I've made tremendous progress on my personal strength goals since starting here, and I am certain I owe my speed, safety and enjoyment in making that progress to finding this gym

Expérience fantastique: I was in Brussels and I dropped by for an hour of private coaching with Steve to improve my form on the basic barbell lifts. He was immediately able to diagnose and fix my issues (especially the deadlift!) and gave me tips and cues to continue lifting on my own. I recommend Brussels barbell to any lifter, regardless of the level and experience.

Expérience fantastique: I was visiting Brussels for work and needed a place to train. I reached out to Steve (the owner) and he was super welcoming and hospitable. The gym is very well equipped with all the strength training equipment you’d need—lots of racks, platforms, bars, plates, etc. Plus, Steve is a great coach and the environment is really positive. If I lived in Brussels, I’d train there as a regular.

Expérience fantastique: As a middle-aged woman wanting to stay in good health and keep in shape, I've mainly been doing pilates, yoga, and some dance lessons. I always thought I was 'too old' to do strength training. So, when I started going to Brussels Barbell two months ago, I was convinced I would never be able to dead lift more than 40kg. I'm doing 65kg now, and truly believe I can continue to progress, thanks to the professional and personalised coaching of Steve and his team! Great place, lovely people, excellent coaches ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Expérience fantastique: Impeccable barbell gym. I discovered the 'Starting Strength' book by Mark Rippetoe on my own a couple of months ago and was already making gains, but often good injured and had bad form. Little did I know that the only Starting Strength-affiliated gym outside of the US was right here in my hometown. Since coming here a month and half ago, my progress has doubled. Francesco and Steve are excellent coaches who know what they're doing. The atmosphere here is jovial, collegial, and yet you make gains EVERY time. Highly recommended and excellent value for your money.

Expérience fantastique: A great place to get strong! I have finally found a gym that makes me want to train and even looking forward to the next session. For me, they are simply offering something I have not found anywhere else: First, Steve and his team are truly skilled in guiding and coaching novices like me. They start with the essentials and don't get tired of helping you until you find the correct form for every exercise. Plus, they know how to keep you motivated. Second, it's a fun and safe space for training, where people are genuinely nice and are supporting each other. The team offers you a coffee upon arrival, and there is always someone to have a chat. Third, it's very effective and efficient. Having your own rack and weights for the whole session, as well as a trainer guiding you on every single step, means that you don't waste time and improve fast. It might be a bit more expensive than your normal gym, but it's worth it!

Expérience fantastique: Owners are so nice! Stephen the owner was super helpful and genuinely wants you to become stronger. Can’t recommend enough!!!

Expérience fantastique: If you're looking to get stronger and lift heavy with perfect form, this is the place to be!! You have your own space (no sharing!) and individual attention. Before, I didn't go heavy on certain lifts for fear of injury, not anymore. Here I know that the coaches know what they're doing, my form is watched very closely and so I am lifting heavier than ever before. They are very good in spotting your difficulties and giving the right feedback so that you understand the lift and this way manage to improve. Plus, the atmosphere is really friendly and positive which helps you not miss your sessions. Truly, you will not regret it.

Expérience fantastique: awesome place, lovely staff, encouraging and lots of actual improvement on my physical and mental wellbeing and such a supportive team!!!❤️❤️❤️

Expérience fantastique: Really fantastic gym. Love starting strength program and great instruction. Super friendly too.

Expérience fantastique: Slightly out of the way but conveniently located next to what looks like a physiotherapist office, Brussels Barbell is a heaven for serious lifters. A lot of Rogue power racks, multiple types of barbells, kilo plates, great gym culture with every single member re-racking their plates properly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and on the top of this, good music. The gym is much larger than it looks from the outside, it’s amazing to have that many racks in the center of a dense city. Very rare in Europe. The team is focused on the Starting Strength method so you’ll find a lot of Mark Rippetoe quotes on the walls, which can be quite motivating. Do not go there if your focus is cardio and you’re looking for treadmills. This gym is committed to strength training. Actually, the gym is so good that as I wanted to support them by writing a honest five star review, it ended up being buried in a sea of other five star reviews. Definitely top tier.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym and community here. Top notch equipment and great coaching available. Such amazing people too- when it was raining really hard outside the owner encouraged some pedestrians on the street to come in and wait out the storm! A must visit

Expérience fantastique: For the past nine months, I have been training at Brussels Barbell, and I can confidently say it's the best strength training facility in Brussels. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in for something special. Steve and the rest of the team at Brussels Barbell are nothing short of phenomenal. Each one brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for helping members achieve their goals. One of the standout features of Brussels Barbell is its incredibly supportive community. The environment is welcoming and inclusive, with members and staff alike cheering each other on. Since joining Brussels Barbell, my strength gains have been nothing short of spectacular. In just a few months, I can squat 80kgs and deadlift 90kgs. Beyond the numbers, I’ve also noticed significant improvements in my overall form, thanks to the expert guidance I received. If you’re serious about strength training and looking for a facility that offers the best equipment, expert coaching, and a supportive community, look no further than Brussels Barbell. My experience here has been transformative, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to make fantastic gains and be part of an amazing community.

Expérience fantastique: I was in Brussels for a few days and was looking for a gym for two powerlifting sessions, which I did at Brussels Barbell. The idea of Starting Strenght, the methodolody that Brussels Barbell is affiliated to, is to make the general population stronger, so it's not about elite athletes competing against each other. I saw people do their first squats or bench presses ever, which was sweet. This is a gym with very good vibes, nice coaches, it felt very safe for women and people from everywhere. It is not far from the European institutions, so very international. Everyone gets their own platform, with a squat rack, bench, and set of plates. There's free chalk around and basically everything you may need to workout with a barbell (no dumbbels or kettlebells). This is basically a powerlifter's paradize.

Expérience fantastique: The best weightlifting gym in Brussels. Trainers are very friendly to beginners. This is a great place to begin your weightlifting journey.

Expérience fantastique: If your day is f..k.d, get there to make it right. A wonderful place with wonderful people.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym, wonderful people, great atmosphere. Definitely the best lifting gym in Europe, would 100% recommend

Expérience fantastique: BEST GYM IN BRUSSELS. To be honest it’s such a game changer that I don’t know where could I start to describe this gym. Are 6 months now that I have started to train and is not exaggerated to say that my life changed in better: - I have more energy during the day. - I am more confident. - My overall health improved. - When a session is over I can’t wait to start the new one. - Above all I am a lot stronger than before, I have 2 kids and to be stronger aids me a lot in everyday life. Steve has a positive energy that’s contagious, him and the other coaches are kind and well prepared. If you want to be stronger/healthier/happier this is the gym for you. Thank you guys for your work. Cesare

Expérience fantastique: Steve and his team are incredible. I had been weight training for a few years before I came to Brussels Barbell. I achieved new PRs in every exercise (deadlift, squat, bench press and press). I would recommend it to anyone. It does not matter if you are a beginner, advanced or have reached a plateau. You will benefit from their expertise.

Expérience fantastique: I started training at Brussels Barbell to strengthen my back after a herniated disc. Eight months later my back is a whole lot stronger (along with the rest of my body) and I no longer have any back pain. It has been really satisfying to steadily see the weight I’m able to lift increase. Steve, Fran and the rest of the coaches are dedicated and professional and make training a lot of fun. Lifting heavy feels safe when you have them there giving feedback on every lift. The atmosphere in the gym is great. I really appreciate to train with people of all ages, genders and nationalities. The biggest bonus is Zoe, who must surely be the world’s best gym dog!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym helpful to any and all sorts of people looking to get strong and healthy

Expérience fantastique: Very friendly atmosphere with experienced helpful staff. Glad I made the trip down from the Netherlands!

Expérience fantastique: Perfect place if you wanna be and feel strong! I’ve been going twice a week for 3 months now and I love it! It’s an investment, but it is an investment in yourself! And it’s totally worth every penny! The atmosphere is great and you have a coach with you at all time: to teach you the right movements, to make you feel secure during reps and to make you confident that you can definitely get that last rep! I’ve never been a super sporty person but always wanted to lift weights and learn the compounds movments. Found the right place for that. Absolutely recommend !!!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym environment, people are very welcoming and friendly. Equipment was really good as well and everything was so tidy LOVED IT!!

Expérience fantastique: Une super ambiance, des coachs attentifs et des progrès comme nulle part ailleurs ! En plus de s'entraîner en s'amusant, il est toujours possible de se poser avec un café ou de faire des câlins aux bêtes à 4 pattes toujours les bienvenus !

Expérience fantastique: Awesome coaches and good vibes. Every rep is taken care of by a professional, so that every session is solid. It's great to work on getting stronger here.

Expérience fantastique: Brussels Barbell is the best place if you want to get stronger. The personalised coaching is incomparable to what you can get in a gym or a crossfit box. The coaches are very friendly and give you those little tricks that will make you progress further and further, and above all they motivate you enormously. If you have problems or injuries, they find solutions and don't let you down. The equipment is top quality and there's enough space for you to feel at ease. You're always greeted with a good coffee and a warm welcome. In fact, you go there to have a good time and you always come out stronger. I never leave there frustrated but with a boost of confidence and well-being. It's simply one of my favourite places, where I cultivate my body and mind.

Expérience fantastique: It is a great place for a training . And a very friendly space. Thanks for the hospitality! Starting strength with Steve and his team is the best choice!

Expérience fantastique: I came to Brussels to meet Steve and his team in person.Steve and his team are fantastic, having travelled all over Europe I want to tell you that Brussels Barbell is the BEST gym in Europe. The coaches at the gym are amazing Chloe ,Jonas, Fra.. Steve is a great professional it is worth travelling just to meet him he will always find time for you ..Also Gabriela is a great person and a very good professional !!! Thank you for everything Brussels Barbell I look forward to seeing you again in the winter !!! Strength matters

Expérience fantastique: In short: Have been going consistently for 15 months now, fantastic training. Lovely, welcoming, friendly environment — great people and results. Steve is a terrific coach and mentor, and he works really hard to build a comfortable vibe in his gym. Makes you want to be there. Longer: I thought I could (eventually) figure out barbell training on my own. Knew it had a steep learning curve and jargon, but also knew some places online to start (Casey Johnston's 'Liftoff' comes to mind). Still, the main hurdle— you have to physically get into a busy gym and figure out the equipment, programming, form and technique more or less on your own. If you have a ton of time, and your commercial gym has a good-enough setup, you can do it. But will you? I never did. I'd intermittently sign up for commercial gyms every few years, do random dumbbell stuff / machines and look over at the barbells once in a while. Which bar to use? How does spotting work? Do I have to unrack in-between sets to let others go? Too much work. At a place like Brussels Barbell, you get people who show you how to lift, track your progress and programming, and guide you from (in my case) novice to bit-less-of-a-novice. I knew I was getting that, but didn't know I'd also get the sense of satisfaction that comes with tracking my progression, day after day. Seeing the weights go up on paper is just really, really motivating in a kind of dumb way that you probably can't appreciate until you've tried it. So, you have the deeply satisfying numbers-go-up RPG stat stuff. And you have what seems like an unlimited ceiling in terms of improving your form — as in, there is always something more to learn or improve for these four lifts, so mastery is always just dangling out of your reach (in a fun way). Both of these payoffs make you want to return. And once you've come for a bit, you look back and realize how much simpler it is to access these payoffs when you're being properly coached. Without that coaching piece, the barriers are really steep. When you have it, you feel like you can start making progress almost instantly and (seemingly) forever. Plus you get a great vibe, your own platform to lift on, specialized equipment if you need it, interesting and fun people in the gym, good music. Monthly fees are not what you'd pay at a commercial gym, but nor are they as high as individual personal trainers cost per hour. Can't recommend it enough.

Expérience fantastique: Brussels Barbell is the best place to become stronger. The trainers, other gym members, and Zoe, are very friendly and create a welcoming atmosphere in the gym from day one. As a beginner I was surprised by the progress after just four months. It’s really helpful to have access to your own platform, high quality equipment, and the guidance of very knowledgable trainers every session. I even received advice on nutrition to help me progress with the lifts. It’s easy to book sessions and to maintain a consistent schedule that keeps you coming back.

Expérience fantastique: Such a great gym. Fun vibes, coaches really work through your limitations, no pressure to "push through" the pain. I've made more progress in two months with BB than I thought was even possible. Also, their receptionist is really cute and loves to get pets.

Expérience fantastique: Unique gym in Brussels. Good equipment, good people and a friendly atmosphere. I guess if you want to train with a barbell that is the place to go.

Expérience fantastique: I wanted to take my training to the next level by lifting heavy weights so I joined Brussels Burbell two months ago. Steve and his team are great pros. The fact of having constant supervision helps learning lifting with the right movements from the start. Plus it is a great environment and you feel super motivated to train and improve at each step. It’s only being two months for me but I already feel and see the difference in both strength and muscle definition. Would definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Best gym experience in town seriously, after trying and failing the classic gyms I went to Brussels Barbell after recommendations of friends and it’s just so much more than a just a gym. The trainers are there with you 100%, they listen to your feedback and correct/assist wherever necessary. It’s honestly a refreshing approach. The atmosphere is lovely as well as the group of people you’re working out with. Never thought a workout based on 4 main exercises could be this beneficial to my general health and strength, but after about 6 months of this I couldn’t miss it in the world.

Expérience fantastique: The Brussels Barbell experience is special from the moment you walk in and are greeted by Zoe the dog and are offered a coffee, always. I’ve been training here for a year and gotten stronger in a way that makes a noticeable, meaningful difference in my everyday life. I value the tailored programming that goes into every session, the personal attention every lift receives, and having a knowledgeable coach on hand gives that peace of mind while performing heavy lifts. Importantly, there is a good gender balance and a friendly, inclusive, international atmosphere in the gym where everyone is competing against themselves only.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent no fuss gym with lots of racks/cages, barbells, plates, benches and platforms. The team there was also very friendly and helpful!

Expérience fantastique: I was looking for a smart way to get my body stronger without risking any injuries as I am currently preparing for my black belt exam in Brazilian jiujitsu (BJJ) . After many years of practicing a combat sport such as BJJ, I ended up with a weak lower back and a nagging shoulder tendinitis. After only a few months of training with Steve & the gang, the back is fixed and the shoulder is getting in much better shape. I feel much STRONGER overall. The Brussels Barbell team worked their MAGIC. They are super professional and friendly. I had ZERO experience with weight lifting when I started there. They teach me how to do the correct moves, mentor as I progress towards my goals and always look after my wellbeing. I am very HAPPY to train there and I can only recommend. P.S. - Even the Classic Rock music shredding from the speakers is great.

Expérience fantastique: To prevent my back from retiring prematurely, I decided to take up weightlifting. I wasn't about to entrust my spine to the average Joe with a diploma from the University of Google. So, after a lot research, I ended up at Brussels Barbell, where Steve, a survivor of the rigorous Starting Strength certification, turned me into a superhero in disguise. It's not just the training regimen though. The staff and fellow gym-goers all contribute to a supportive community where humour and encouragement are as much a part of the routine as the weights themselves. So should your life's ambitions include becoming inexplicably strong with a back that doesn't scream in betrayal - Brussels Barbell, under the encouraging and friendly guidance of Steve and his team, is the only place to be.

Expérience fantastique: Super friendly trainers, the place to learn good form and get strong! Helped me recover from injuries as well. Also very cute gym dog

Expérience fantastique: I started with BB about 3 weeks ago. It’s been a super positive experience so far. It’s inclusive, it’s flexible. It’s friendly, it’s great! The coaching staff are excellent and want you to succeed and be your best self. Zoe the dog is also awesome! I’ve found my klan!

Expérience fantastique: This was my first time being coached by a Starting Strength Coach, and Steve exceeded all expectations. He was welcoming, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer all my questions in depth in various easy-to-understand ways. The gym has top-notch equipment and is the kind of place you’d want to hang out in for multiple hours while getting to know the awesome members. Thanks again to Steve! I’ll be back soon!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, great equipments, great coaches and great atmosphere! What else can you ask for? Thanks for your warm reception guys!!!

Expérience fantastique: El otro dia fui y fueros super amables, el gimnasio muy bien equipado para levantamiento tipo powerlifting contando con muchos racks donde se pueden hacer muchos ejercicios variados. Queria remarcar el esfuerzo del entrenador ayudando a los que van a entrenar: te ayuda en tus series, corrige la técnica… Muchas gràcias por todo y recomiendo visita obligada si vais de visita a Bruselas.

Expérience fantastique: I made the trip from Holland to attend the Barbell Clinic with Steve. It was a fantastic experience, very in-depth and detail oriented, which was perfect for an absolute beginner like me. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Expérience fantastique: Excellent strength training studio with great coaching from Steve and team. The only Starting Strength affiliated gym in Europe.

Expérience fantastique: The atmosphere in this place is awesome! Friendly people that help each other - an amazing community created by Steve and his coaches. I will be coming here every time I visit Brussels. For people that want to get fit, please do yourself a favor and come here. Keep up the good work, guys!

Expérience fantastique: If I am travelling it is often difficult to find a good gym. Not so in Brussels. Brussels Barbell is superb. Hugely welcoming and friendly, really good kit for powerlifting, and really helpful staff. It was an absolute delight to train there.

Expérience fantastique: I joined Brussels Barbell six months ago as I was looking to increase my strength and therefore my health and longevity. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Each coach is very knowledgeable and dedicated to getting the best out of their clients. It also helps that the atmosphere is super, and the coffee tastes good too.

Expérience fantastique: I was initiated to Brussels barbell as a team building outing with my rugby team and I was SOLD! The atmosphere, the owners, the coaches make it the perfect blend for an amazing place to train. 100% recommend to anyone who’s starting out or who’s an experienced weight lifter. There’s a place for everyone! PS: a cute little dog runs around the gym, which is just a bonus.

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming here for six months and can honestly say I start looking forward to the next session as soon as the previous one ends. A top coaching team guiding you every step of the way, real progress, triumphs, failures, then triumphs again, all with a really diverse cast of interesting participants. Can’t wait for next Monday!

Expérience fantastique: Would recommend Brussels Barbell to everyone! What I like is the focus on proper technique & form. It's a safe space for people who are starting out as you get 1 on 1 feedback. This is the first time I have been training this consistently and the progress is immense. On top of that, Steve and his team are really nice & I always have great time!

Expérience fantastique: Such an amazing place, with amazing people! The team is highly knowledgeable, and know exactly what I need to take my sports performance to the next level. My only regret is that I didn't start lifting heavy earlier!

Expérience fantastique: I was in Brussels for a vacation and was looking for a powerlifting like gym. The equipment is high quality and perfect for power- or weightlifting. Very kind people there, it was nice to meet them!

Expérience fantastique: Ich war in Brussels Barbell um am Training Camp Squat-Press-Deadlift teilzunehmen. Sehr freundliche Begrüßung und eine gute Atmosphäre machen den Start einfach. Steve ist präzise in seinen Coaching Tipps und jeder Lift (Aufwärmen und Arbeitssatz) wurde kommentiert. Für mich hat sich die Anreise aus Wien in jedem Fall gelohnt und ich kann diese Camps in Brussels Barbell jedem ernsthaft an Krafttraining interessierten nur empfehlen. Dabei ist es egal ob man Anfänger ist oder schon seit vielen Jahren Krafttraining betreibt. Ich komme sicher wieder !

Expérience fantastique: I had the best experience at Brussels Barbell! Despite knowing how important strength training is for health & longevity (especially for women), I’ve always been intimidated by strength training gyms. Steve and his team of coaches completely changed that- they are so welcoming and kind and made me feel totally comfortable. They train people of all ages, genders, and experience levels, and they make sure you build good habits & enjoy yourself while you’re there. I’m so glad I made Brussels Barbell part of my stay while I was in town- I can’t recommend it enough.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to build strength, with highly qualified and friendly staff.

Expérience fantastique: 6 weeks back we arrived in Brussels and began looking for the best gyms in our area. Brussels Barbell caught our attention most because of the overwhelmingly good reviews. We've never done any strength training, however, and were nervous, thinking it might be too advance for us. We could not have been more wrong. We are so glad we reached out. Steve, the owner and head coach, made us feel welcome and guided us through our first clinic (if you're new like we were definitely do the clinic!). We got hooked and for the remainder of our stay in Brussels we attended multiple classes per week. All the coaches are terrific: Giorgi, Fran, Chloe, and Roberto, will help you get stronger with proper technique. The strength training was as good as the reviews say. I'll also echo what others have said: the community in the gym was amazing. All the other trainees were so kind and everyone was encouraging of each other. Brussels Barbell made our time in Brussels extra special. Thanks to the whole crew.

Expérience fantastique: fantastic gym with even better people. came to brussels to visit friends and asked beforehand if i could come in to deadlift. every one of them greeted me nicely and introduced themselves, so did most people working out there! even hyped me up for my top set. highly highly recommend this gym for anyone looking into strength training.

Expérience fantastique: Brussels Barbell is the perfect place to train to get stronger and more capable ! I started coming 1 month ago and I have improved in terms of weight lifted and technique more than I though possible Steve and the other coaches are great especially the girl who is encouraging and lovely ! I will definitely keep on coming

Expérience fantastique: Drove here to get in-person coaching with Steve. Totally worth it, and that should say it all, as my girlfriend and I came here all the way from Copenhagen. Steve is very amicable, greeted us and took the time for an informal chat and then proceeded to go discuss what I'd outlined per email I'd like the Barbell Clinic session (as it's called on the website) to get through. A little surprised but very satisfied, we made it through everything. Steve was very efficient and focused all the way through the session but kept it super relaxed and fun all the while. Quite a feat, also considering he was coaching both me and my partner. Only complaint is that Steve decided to set up shop in Brussels and not Copenhagen. Best weightlifting coaching I've ever received by far.

Expérience fantastique: If you are a aspiring starting strength trainee or a newbie who wants to get strong then Brussels Barbell is for you. Great atmosphere, nice people. I would come here everyday if I could. Thanks again Steve!

Expérience fantastique: I traveled to Brussels for a few days during the week and wanted to makes sure I was able to get in my normal workout. I'm a Starting Strength disciple, and I was familiar with Brussels Barbell as a Starting Strength affiliate. When I walked through the door I felt immediately welcome. Steve, the owner set me up with a rack and let me know he and his coaches were available to answer any questions. He even offered me coffee and water. During the workout, I had a few coaches come over and give me some very valuable feedback. I'm an experienced lifter, but I love to get form checks and adjustments from experienced Coaches. I found the coaches to be very capable and knowledgeable. There was a great and supportive community in the Gym and Brussels Barbell truly embodies the culture I love about Starting Strength affiliate gyms. There was a range of ages and ability levels, but all were lifting and all were getting stronger. I will continue to train at Brussels Barbell for the duration of my stay in this wonderful city, and anytime I come back. Thank you to Steve and the crew at Brussels Barbell; and to all the lifters I met on the platform.

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member of Brussels Barbell for about 3 months. I truely love my workouts there. They have a wonderful, welcoming and friendly environment, that is not intimidating for beginners like myself. There are always instructors watching and supporting you. Its a great way to build strength in a safe, non-judgemental environment. I highly recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: TLDR: Great gym, good equipment, professional trainers, very good start into being active, would recommend! Longer version: I've been doing CrossFit for a couple of months and after some break I've decided to join the Brussels Barbell. It's a great place to learn how to safely train weightlifting. Even though I had some background on how to do weightlifting I found out that I have much to learn.There are step by step instructions on how to do exercises with the explanations why the steps are necessary and how they help you lift better. Most importantly the training helps. You can actually feel the difference when training with correct technic or yolo. Everyone has their own station, so no fighting for equipment or waiting for others to finish their routine like in the conventional gyms. They also don't require providing credit card informations, you just send a bank transfer which in this day and age seems much safer to me and I greatly appreciate that. In short, it's a great place to workout!

Expérience fantastique: I dropped in at Brussels Barbell while traveling, and was super impressed. Steve was so welcoming, and the gym is well equipped. I was able to do my Olympic weightlifting program in the gym with no problems. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: If you want to get in shape but you're lacking the motivation or knowledge to do so, this is the place to go. The trainers always make sure you are in good form and equip you with the knowledge to push yourself to your limits in a safe and controlled environment. The atmosphere is great and it's easy to make friends as classes are limited to 8 which further motivates you to keep a consistent schedule.

Expérience fantastique: Brussels Barbell ‍♂️ Strength training is the need of the hour. And Brussels Barbell ‍♂️ is the right place for it ........ Steve, Gaby, Roberto, Georgi, Zoey everyone are there for your every question during your training. Your workouts are curated to best fit you. And they even remember your last lifted weight though you forget . They coach you properly on your movements, stance, angles, balance, rest and everything associated. Working out the right way is very important and that's ensured here. I have been training with the team for last 6 months and it's worth every moment. Great environment, coffee, music, brand and community to be part of Brussels Barbell ‍♂️ Stay Strong

Expérience fantastique: I really love Brussels Barbell. I have started around 5 months ago and, since then, I have seen sustained progress day by day with my strength. In addition to that, a lot of people around me have told me that I look way better and in shape. This is the first time in my life that I have actually been able to gain weight. To be precise, I have gained around 10 kg just eating normally and doing exercise at Brussels Barbell. The special thing about Brussels Barbell is the expertise that all the coaches have to ensure that we exercise appropriately, specially Steve. Steve and Gabi have been able to build a really exiting brand, but even more importantly , a very cozy community of people that exercise to become stronger. It's like all of us share a common goal! Roberto, Giorgi and Francesco are perfect complements to the combo; each of them with their own style, you're sure to always be supervised by a knowledgeable coach, but also very nice folks. Cherry in the cake is that you're always greeted with a warm smile and with a coffee or tea, whichever you prefer. If I had to start again, I would. Can't recommend Brussels Barbell enough. Just go andexperience it yourself!

Expérience fantastique: Took a 3h ride to train and to learn how to do the big exercises properly and wasn’t disappointed. If you’re in Europe and familiar/self-taught in the starting strength method, get in touch with them and schedule at least one session. The coach, Steve actually taught me more than the book and videos could, just through a few refinements and tips, but going there was key. He made it really easy and took a lot of time and care.

Expérience fantastique: Nors midijos buvo gan prastos kokybes, del dar neprasi dejusio "sezono", kaip mums paaiskino, bet jusu padavejai yra kazkas wooow, sventem drauges gimtadieni, sveikinimas buvo tikrai labai grazus ir ypatingas, cia visada malonu sugryzti, nepaisant midiju sezoniskumo❤️

Expérience fantastique: Vous voulez être plus fort? Vous voulez apprendre facilement et rapidement les mouvements du powerlifting en toute sécurité? Je vous recommande de faire appel à Steve!! Au cours d’une séance d’1h30, Steve a pu m’expliquer de manière très claire et très amicale comment soulever ces barres sans me mettre en danger. Je ne pensais pas que cela allait être aussi facile. Il m’a également expliquer le matériel à privilégier et les méthodes de programmation. Je me sens désormais prêt pour m’entraîner de mon côté à la salle. Je suis ultra satisfait de cette formation. Encore merci Steve.

Expérience fantastique: I am not a gym person, but Brussels Barbell made me to enjoy exercising. Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Steve is an amazing person who introduced me to Barbell exercises and gave me hope that I, despite being a total beginner to gym or any form of exercise, can squat, deadlift, press and bench press way beyond the empty barbell. He showed the importance of Barbell exercises which works irrespective of the age, physical conditions etc. I certainly feel well informed about strength training, and got a good base to continue strength training on my own

Expérience fantastique: If you want to become strong and stay fit in the long term, Brussels Barbell is your place. Brussels Barbell has excellent personal trainers that provide very specific and actionable advice. After two months, you and people around you will start to see the difference. Plus, Steve and the team create a great, motivating atmosphere in which working out is fun.

Expérience fantastique: I love it there. I've been going for 5 months and I feel stronger every week, the coaches are not only knowledgeable and providing good feedback, they're also super fun and supportive. The environment at the gym is also great, it's super inclusive and welcoming, and caters to beginners and experienced lifters. Everyone attending a session is encouraging of everyone else. I was also super pleasantly surprised to see how many women are members there, it's quite regular that there are more women than men in the group sessions and I love it.

Expérience fantastique: The one and only #buildingstrength in Brussels and Belgium and the whole EU, if I'm correct! As a convinced non-cardio, more like a smoochie yoga person, I found my way there after having some back problems. Never imagined myself lifting more than a 5 kg potato bag, but now going almost for 6 months there for a twice a week training with Steve and its the best strengthbuilding decision I've ever made. Professional, friendly and a lot of fun! Also, the best coffee and the best supervision by the queen Zoë, who is greeting you at the arrival making you feel - missed you, so happy you came

Expérience fantastique: Extremely good job, especially for powerlifting. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, could not have anything better to say about this place. Lewis Fee

Expérience fantastique: It is the best strength gym you can find in and around Brussels. Steve, the owner, is a professional who won't hesitate to help you with anything. He has all kinds of equipment that will make you the best version of yourself. We came all the way from Spain and without a doubt the best choice we could have made. Thank you very much for everything!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym!! Very high quality equipment and super cool place They even have a gym dog, what more could you ask for? Super recommended for strength training

Expérience fantastique: This is a great gym with really competent staff. They make sure you progress and you have someone checking your form throughout your workout so you can safely lift weights and work on your strength. The gym is super clean and everyone is super friendly and kind. I love this place!

Expérience fantastique: I have tried several training facilities, but Brussels Barbell is far and away the best strength training facility I have ever set foot in, in Brussels or abroad. What really sets this place apart is the coaching - not only is Steve (head coach) completely dedicated to the craft and an absolute pro at what he does, but all the coaches in his team are committed to getting every trainee in here stronger by the day. You can trust when you walk in through the door that the Brussels Barbell team has your back so that you can focus on what truly matters (getting stronger!) instead of “working out” in a way that will waste your time and lead you astray. Steve and his team will have you TRAINING in the true sense of the word.

Expérience fantastique: Phenomenal experience at Brussel’s Barbell. Steve, the owner, is an awesome guy, very organized, and keeps the gym clean. I was impressed and happy to see a strength gym offered with the specialty equipment that they have. Weight lifters, this is a great gym to train at while you’re passing through on vacation!

Expérience fantastique: I was training for a while with Steve and it was a great experience. The gym has a friendly environment and it is an excellent place to workout. I recommend it to anyone looking for a place to train!

Expérience fantastique: Unfortunately 5 stars is the maximum, otherwise I would give more! The 5+ hour drive from Fulda, Germany was more than worth it. From the moment I arrived to my form check, I felt welcomed by Steve and his talented staff and other members (and Zoe, his cute little dog). On the platform, Steve took the necessary time to explain everything in great detail and identified problems with my form - which he was able to help me correct immediately. As someone very familiar with the proven Starting Strength method of getting stronger, I am able to fully appreciate the amazing skill level of Steve. Fact is you won't find a better strength coach anywhere in Europe! Highly recommended gym for strength enthusiasts of all ages! Thanks again to Steve and his team. See you again soon! -Gary

Expérience fantastique: If you want to train in a welcoming atmosphere, gain strength and reap the health benefits, Brussels Barbell is the place to go. I don't live in Brussels but managed to drop in for a form check. Steve guided me through squat, deadlift, bench and overhead press. His feedback was very helpful and I'm looking forward to incorporate it into my weekly training routine. The place is small but has excellent plattforms, power racks and bars. If I was living in Brussels, I'd be training here. Highly recommended.
