Met with Derek and he was really friendly and welcoming. He showed me around the place and they have some really great equipment with a focus on Strength and Conditioning some notables were lots of combo racks for bench/squatting. Tons of specialty bars, a solid selection of machines to hit each body part and also a pendulum squat. Can't wait to start using this gym when I move closer.

If you’re serious about strongman or powerlifting, this is the place to train. The gym has 24-hour access, which is perfect for anyone with a crazy schedule, and it’s fully equipped with everything you need to prep for competition—logs, yokes, stones, specialty bars, calibrated plates, deadlift platforms… you name it, they’ve got it.
The atmosphere is intense but welcoming, and the owners are incredibly friendly and passionate about what they do. It’s clear they care about the athletes and the community they’re building. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting into strength sports, this gym sets you up for success. Highly recommend!

I'll tell you hwat. You walk into a gym and it just feels right. Plenty of great equipment and vibes. Sometimes a man just wants to sweat and grind it out and this place has got it. If you're not a beefin boy or girl don't fret, this gym will still make you feel right at home. During my first visit here, two enormous specimens were deadlifting some insane gravity bending amount. They were throwin those dinner plates around like Uncle Bob at Golden Corral. One of these titanic monoliths looked over at me, locked eyes with me, and gave the downward nod of respect. I was immediately infused with a geyser of pure power and proceeded to PR every one of my lifts. My old lady was rippin those weights like it was paper mache as well. My only complaint is that I ripped my car door handle off when I was trying to go home. Strong recommend for anyone. Come on down and give the place a visit, she won't disappoint

I know success when I smell one. I am committed to lose 15 to 20lbs at this gym before my vacation. The owners (husband and wife) were friendly and hospitable. They have everything you need to grow. Love / hate relationship with the curve, but I will conquer it! I am so ready to take responsibility for my future and health. This place will help me!

Great facility with great equipment, a great community and absolutely incredible owners Shelley and Derrick! They both have contributed to strength sports in ways so many if someone doesn’t like them, the person complaining should be the one in question. The gym takes care of the strongman equipment like I have yet to see (I was introduced to the strongman world back in 2014 so it’s been a while) they aim to give back and build up the community be it locally or in fitness plus they are (in my opinion as a pro strongwoman’s daughter) impressive as hell themselves. Go watch them compete or just look up the gyms social media @battleaxebarbell and you will see what I mean! Thank you guys for building another place for the strong community to grow and thrive! With 6 years down and so many more to come we are beyond excited to keep watching Battle Axe Barbell and visiting every chance we get!

If you are serious about strength training, this is the place--the amount of specialty equipment in this space is almost insane, especially if you are a strongman athlete. I've been coming here for 3 years and I swear the equipment is upgraded practically every time I walk in the door. The passion and love the owners have for the gym (and strength sports) is evident, and the value for your dollar can't be beat.
One of the things I love most about the gym is the growing community of awesome strong women and the supportive environment for all. While women are making amazing strides I strength sports right now, it's not always the case that they feel at home in a strength focused gym. That's just not the case at BAB. If you're a woman on the fence about strength sports, you'll find a home and a place to grow here!

Battle Axe Barbell boasts an impressive array of powerlifting equipment, including squat racks, deadlift platforms, and combo racks with Texas and Kabuki barbells. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or just starting out, you’ll find everything you need here. The strongman section is equally impressive with atlas stones, yokes, sandbags, logs and axle bars. It’s like a playground for strength enthusiasts! One of the standout features is the gym’s 24/7 access. No matter your schedule, you can train at your convenience. Late-night lifters and early birds alike will appreciate this flexibility. Battle Axe Barbell is the best gym east side of Dallas.
