Charnwood Barbell

Such a friendly club! loaded with equipment, great atmosphere! Coaching staff are so friendly and helpful, all levels of lifters there and everybody has a blast. Great etiquette around equipment cleaning and tidying away and can have music on and go nuts when you need to! Love it!

Love training here. Absolutely great atmosphere and a fab community of members, both beginners and advanced; weightlifting and powerlifting. Amazing coaching - very knowledgeable and always supportive. Great place to train

Absolutely love our club, it feels like we are a little community. Everyone always supports and celebrates everyones achievements. All goals are different and our awesome coach adapts to what your individual goals are. It's great because you can just Olympic lift, powerlift or do a bit of both.

Great place. Great atmosphere. Great people. Great Coach. Recommended to anyone who wishes to learn powerlifting or weightlifting. They accommodate all levels and create an enjoyable atmosphere.

Such an amazing find!

COME LIFT HERE!! 💓
I decided to go to CB last summer after the facilities at my usual gym were subpar during the uni holidays, and it's my favourite gym/club I've ever been to. Although lacking slightly for accessory work, the facilities for weightlifting and powerlifting are fantastic, with ample bars and weights even when it was busy, all in excellent condition. The main weightlifting coach when I attended was James, and he was my introduction to how weightlifting coaching should be done! Attentive and supportive, he gives solid advice at the level of the understanding of the individual he's giving it to. His honesty was valued in my time I was there, helping me out of a trough with my snatches after a competition where I bombed out on them. But the thing that really makes this club are the people that go! Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other, and I felt like I could be myself around them which is such a refreshing environment. On a couple of occasions I brought my dog with me to train, and despite him being a bit gobby, everyone was happy to see and interact with him. If you want a weightlifting club that you will make you want to go every evening, this is the place for you, I highly recommend!
