I stop in here every time I'm in Clearwater. Awesome gym with tons of well maintained equipment. As a powerlifter this gym is perfect for me to get a workout in while on vacation because it has all the competition specific equipment I need as well as lots of accessory options.

If you’re looking to build strength and better yourself across the board, this is where you need to be. Equipment wise, Gorilla Bench has absolutely everything you need. The staff is full of seasoned lifters who know what they are talking about. I’ve never been to a more welcoming gym before. You’ll find that there is a specific mindset and common goal at Gorilla Bench and that is to leave there a better version of yourself than when you came in. The staff & members are all there every day to get better and push everyone else around them to do the same. Gorilla Bench is not just a training facility, it’s a community, and it won’t take long to see that it’s a community that you never knew you needed. Whether you are an experienced lifter or have never stepped foot in a gym, this is the place for you

To say this is the best gym I’ve ever been to or seen would be an understatement.I could write a paragraph alone on the extensive and diverse equipment.However, the environment of people there, is what really makes it amazing. Full of people who are super knowledgeable but humble and incredibly selfless.The best place to get strong and have a community at that same time.

Gorilla Bench has everything you need and more to reach your fitness goals and more specifically powerlifting. They have specialty bars and combo racks for squat and bench, multiple deadlift platforms, and great machine options. Everyone at this gym is supportive of each other and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and love to teach and share their knowledge. I started at this gym considering competing in powerlifting and with the confidence of my team and coach I quickly reached that goal. Look no further for the best team, best coaches, best equipment.

Matt has been working with me for a year and is the best trainer I have ever had. I can be a challenging client with health and body comp and he is always looking for ways to be successful.

It's the absolutely best gym I've been to. I have been working out my whole life at many different gyms, and never have I worked out at a place like this. They have the most professional and experienced people I've ever met.

the most open, inviting, hard working group of individuals I've ever encountered in the exercise environment. Coaches are spot on with knowledge, everyone is available to help, no judgement based on strength ... the support is unreal. My journey with GBTC is unmatched.

Tiffany’s HIIT class was AMAZING! She explained the exercises well and definitely kicked my butt into shape lol. Class can be great for both beginners and advanced individuals. I took my boyfriend with me and we are both sore from her class.. 100% recommend!

Gorilla Bench Training Center is the premiere location in town for strength training. If you want to be strong, you don't need to look beyond the bold sign that simply says GYM going south on 19.GBTC is more than a gym though, especially more than any Big-Commercial gym. It's a culture of real iron and strength that only wants you to be as strong as you can be. The team, the members of the community, everyone here is supportive and encouraging no matter how old or what condition your body is in, or what condition you think it's in. Even if you don't powerlift or haven't been to a gym in 30 years, there's a bench and a bar waiting for you to heed the call.The personal trainers and owners here are also amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you're ready to make the move and commit to a program, the coaches here will help you get setup and ready to start safely lifting weights. I've been training with Katrina Curtis for the last 4 months, and she has been an amazing coach and motivating force for any lifter. I knew nothing about the barbell or powerlifting coming in. Along the way, she's taught me everything to be a confident lifter and understand the sport. Powerlifting can be technical, and she's been an excellent resource for questions about form or when some accessory was unclear or a cue in a main lift didn't make immediate sense.So whatever your goals are, if you're looking for a local gym that is serious about strength, check out GBTC where it's not a requirement to compete, but you have to train like you're competing. If you do, and you take YOUR training seriously, that strength will transform more than your body, but will transform your mind and your life! Let's go!

Came in today and unfortunately (to no fault of the gym) sustained an injury. Owner was very helpful in calming me down and giving me advise. Very professional and truly caring considering he just met me minutes before.Highly recommend for people who take their training serious
