JDI is different. JDI makes powerlifters. JDI helps build the confidence that you don't get at a commercial gym. It's a small family, and that's beautiful. I started using the bar because of JDI. I no longer fear heavy weight; I no longer fear the barbell; I no longer worry about not being able to lift. JDI also has a community of girls who lift and empower each other through friendship and every lift. Once a month, the Strong Gurls Club gets together and has an event which I look forward to. The best part of my experience is not only am I getting stronger, but my mental health has done a 180, and that's priceless for me. free endorphins!!!!

This was a great gym to drop in for weightlifting workouts while I was in town. Everyone was kind and helpful. The gym is well equipped for weightlifting and powerlifting. I didn’t have any trouble getting a platform.

Great trainers, great community, and utilize the limited space as much as they can. If you want to get into lifting, looking into the Barbell Basics class and start there. Can’t recommend this spot enough.

The best gym in Manhattan for powerlifting and weightlifting. Open gym, competition grade equipment, knowledgable coaches available during coaching hours and the best diverse community you could ask for. If you want to do powerlifting or weightlifting and you are in Manhattan, JDI is the best.

I used to go to this gym a couple years ago before moving away. It is the best strength training gym I’ve gone to and unique in the level of care that the coaches/instructors provide. I felt safe learning to lift at this gym and learning how to safely lift. The coaches treat other people with kindness and empathy. I am thankful for the experience going to JDI Barbell and recommend it to anybody who lives in nyc who wants to learn how to lift or who wants to go to a different gym.

Great gym! I do a fair bit of travel for work and it's hard to find a gym that offers short term access memberships. JDI offered a week long membership and there systems made it easy to access the gym. The equipment is really high quality and the staff and members super friendly. Would definitely recommend

I took the fundamentals class at JDI Barbell and learned a lot. For a beginner, it was great to have someone clearly explain the basics. I felt really comfortable being a beginner and getting all of my questions answered!
