Supportive coaches and an awesome team. There's no attitude and everyone is so kind to each other. It's great to learn actual Olympic Weightlifting Technique (Not CrossFit) alongside highly skilled athletes and amazing Coaches. The programming is fantastic and you get the train together.

I came to barbarian after stumbling across their instagram page. I saw a fun workout setting and great technique. I was frustrated with my limited progress with my current training, so I decided to try them out. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly members, excellent equipment, and knowledgeable head coach. After being around strength and conditioning my whole life, I was happy to see the holistic programming, customization, and effective cueing. I had the opportunity to compete with them for the first time in olympic weightlifting and felt my every expectation was surpassed. Emmy's attention to detail and understanding of each athlete's need is bar none. I would recommended this weightlifting gym for all levels from youth to masters and all experiences. If you're ready to take your weightlifting to the next level, this is the gym to be!

People that work here are cool, and the general atmosphere of the people is laid back too. Lots of strong lifters here , and any equipment you would need to get a good workout. I like it

Emmy Vargas is about the most knowledgeable coach you can find in the Weightlifting world. On top of that, she's a real trip as a person - smart, funny, affable and just a great communicator. Let her make you a better lifter. You'll be glad you took my advice.
