South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club Reviews

I've been loving my experience at South Brooklyn Weightlifting club so far. They handle the regimen for you and have top tier coaches to help perfect your form so all you have to do is show up. Same impact as private training, for a fraction of the price if you plan to train at least a couple times per week. Already hitting new PR's and big fan of all the coaches and team at SBWC! Highly recommended!

I joined this gym 6 weeks ago and it’s the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Getting stronger is helping to reduce daily chronic pain I was living with, the trainers are knowledgeable and helping me learn more about how to lift safely and successfully, and I feel great. Excited to continue growing my fitness here at SBWC

Without question the best gym I have ever been a member of. Every member receives one-on-one attention from the entire staff who are experts not just in weight/power lifting but every aspect of strength training and fitness. The facilities are superbly outfitted and the atmosphere is warm and supportive. Book a tour and let Paulie and Becca show you around. You will not be disappointed.

SBWC is the best gym I've ever been a member of. I learned more from their team in 3 months than at any other point in my weight-lifting journey and turned a huge corner in my fitness. It's also a friendly, relaxed and supportive community. Everyone is there to get stronger and help you get stronger, without ego or pretense. The club has top notch equipment and just what you need to push yourself safely. I could not recommend South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club more.

This gym is fantastic! The coaches and the owner are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive. The equipment is top-notch, and they even offer 3D body scanning to track your progress, which is a great motivator. As a beginner, the equipment can feel intimidating at first, but with the guidance and encouragement from the coaches, you'll feel confident and comfortable in no time. Highly recommend!

Hi Yuriy. We are so sorry that we could not cater to your needs. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide you with the custom membership that you requested as it was outside of the scope of what we offer. Furthermore, it would have been disruptive and unfair to our members. Good luck and we truly hope you find what you are looking for.

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!
