Visiting from out of town, stopped here for a couple drop in days. Fantastic, best and well maintained equipment (10+ racks/platforms, kg bumper plates, rogue power bars and Olympic collars). Farmer’s handles, sandbags, chalk, belts, ssb, belt squat machine. Everything you need for weight training. The owners were super friendly, if you lift weights and live nearby do yourself a favor and join this gym.

I have been at SBWC for 4 months, and have only good things to say. The coaches are super knowledgeable and provide expert, individualized training from novice to competitive levels. The community is tight-knit; friendly, helpful, supportive, inclusive and welcoming. Equipment is extensive and top-notch. There is a unique commitment here to building strength in parallel with mobility through accesory programming focused on flexibility and longevity. A truly unparalleled gym experience for lifters of all levels.

Needed a gym with barbells and racks when travelling. Friendliest place I’ve ever visited. Owners are super helpful and knowledgeable. Can’t recommend it enough!

I joined SBWC a little over 3 months ago and it is the best gym I’ve ever trained at. I wish I had found it sooner. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which makes this a great place to train whether you're a complete beginner or a competitive lifter. The gym is always clean and the equipment is top notch. You'll find equipment here that you'll never find at most other gyms (ie. reverse hyper, belt squat, etc.).Programming is provided and every session is coached, which has really helped me to improve my technique and get the most out of each workout. The coaches do an awesome job of giving personalized feedback and tips/cues/accessory exercises to improve weak points. They will push you and help you get stronger. The gym hosts powerlifting competitions throughout the year if you want to compete (participation is optional and completely up to you).They also have different classes that focus on recovery and mobility, which is great for off days. They want you to get strong AND be healthy/mobile for as long as possible.I've loved my time here so far. Thanks to the SBWC team!

The first thing I noticed about SBWC was the chill and friendly atmosphere. The trainers really love what they do and are very helpful. Becca has been awesome, always keeping me on track. I couldn't recommend this enough.

Love this place and it’s people. Paulie and Becca are so lovely, knowledgeable and so helpful. I’m an unlikely customer—a middle aged woman with no weight lifting background. I came here because of an injury, referred by my PT. Started as a newbie and now I’m a staunch advocate. Really adore this place.

A great place with wonderful people who care about your progress. This is a true community where people are authentic. There are no distractions (no mirrors, no music, no people taking selfies, etc.) and you have to sign up for the time you're planning on coming to the gym, so it's never too crowded. Membership is not cheap, but nothing of quality ever is. If you're serious about getting strong and becoming your best self, this is the gym for you.

Great place to train if you’re looking to get strong! Objectively measured and progressive programming + awesome community of like minded people looking to not just work out but actually get better. Everyone’s friendly and the place is clean + well maintained. Highly recommended!!

If you’re serious about powerlifting this is the place to be. Apps that track your progress, planned workouts, top tier equipment, a fridge with snacks, and coaches at every session. Costs more than other gyms but you’re getting more out of this gym than others by a huge margin. This gym motivates you to be consistent and hold yourself accountable because of how well supported you are

I joined South Brooklyn weightlifting club a little over three months ago and it’s been an awesome place to learn how to lift. You are always training under the guidance of expert coaches, who do a great job of making sure that everyone is using proper form and doing their best. You reserve space ahead of time, so it never gets overcrowded. In addition to racks and platforms they have five other spaces with machines, free weights, cardio stuff, a Yoga studio (the yoga and kinstretch classes are great) and meditation room. I found this place when I was looking for a personal trainer, but I’m so glad I went this route. The community, programming and coaching are amazing and honestly fun. They make it really easy to just show up and get strong!

No music. No mirrors. Nobody is wearing headphones, people actually communicate. You are never on your own, a coach or two is always watching what you are doing and giving you cues.This is not a typical gym, it is specialized in getting people stronger. You get support, structure, and motivation. I prefer this setup to personal training, it is more social and you get plenty of attention from instructors to get some serious work done.
