Barn Barbell Club

It is a powerlifting gym that I joined at the beginning of this year, everyone there competes it is all free weights, more then enough for all of us. It is a pretty big gym with around 30 or so power racks we also have kettlebells, Real blockweights, tires for flipping, sleds, glute ham raise, reverse hyper, thickbars, dumbells that go up to 200. And a bunch of GPP workout stations.

The first thing the owner said to me when I was allowed to become a member was, "We dont bull shit around here, we come to f_cking work out". I knew I was going to love it then, I also like that everyone in the gym knows what there doing and is more then happy to help you with anything. It is a private gym, not anyone can just join which is nice, and it isn't to expensive.

This gym has everything I need for my training and thats all that really matters.

30 power racks? We have like 3 at my gym. Which is actually just fine, I usually have to blow the dust off of them every time I use them. Unfortunately, the only gym within half an hour of my new house is more about the tae bo-high speed-circuit-step-spin-jazzercise-electric slide-crap ass fad of the month. It's only good qualities are that it's close and I often have the entire free weight area to myself.

And oh come on tae bo-high speed-circuit-step-spin-jazercise-electic slide-crap is the new black my friend, im telling ya your really missing out on that one. You really feel teh burn!!!
