Beautiful Gym that has everything you need to get in the BEST PHYSICAL condition of your life.

I can’t say enough great things about Adlante Barbell! This gym is an absolute gem for anyone serious about powerlifting, bodybuilding, or Olympic weightlifting.

They’ve recently upgraded with a ton of brand-new, top-of-the-line machines, giving you everything you need to push your limits and get into the best physical condition of your life. From state-of-the-art racks and platforms to specialized equipment for every lift, it’s clear they’ve invested heavily in creating a world-class training environment.

The staff is incredibly welcoming and always ready to lend a hand or offer a tip, making every visit a pleasure.

The members here are just as awesome—super friendly and supportive, creating a community vibe that motivates you to keep coming back.

I’m not a regular member and only drop in with daily passes, but I feel right at home every time I walk through the doors.

Adlante Barbell stays true to its roots as a hardcore training facility for serious lifters while still being approachable for everyone.

Whether you’re chasing PRs or just starting your fitness journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Adlante Barbell for all your training needs—it’s a game-changer!

I’ve been working out at Adelante for over a year. Became an official member back in November and it has been by far the best decision ever. From the gym that is perfectly equipped, great community especially for powerlifting, and amazing staff, I am proud to call this place my home gym ♥️

Can’t recommend this place enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the best powerlifting gym in NJ. But they don’t just have powerlifting, they also have areas to do weightlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit and even Brazilian jiujitsu. They have a coach that runs scheduled BJJ classes. The BJJ area is closed-off, spacious and sanitary. There’s an area where you can chill, eat, read (with books, comics and manga) or play games (with board games and video games). The owners are great and will make you feel welcomed from the beginning (and not in a phony way). You can talk to them about any concerns and they will hear you out, completely. Everyone here is like family. People even bring their kids and dogs sometimes. I’ve left my bag and even my watch for a week once by accident and no one took it. Pretty much everyone here is strong as hell so there’s no lack of motivation here, but don’t be intimidated because everyone is here to improve and has been where you are. You can even sign up for coaching if you are new and/or want to compete. Membership is on the pricier end but you get what you pay for. A bonus is that the gym isn’t as crowded as a commercial gym :). The machines are well maintained and they’re always trying to improve. They have the cleanest designs when it comes to logos and merch but that’s just my opinion. They often give out stickers that they design themselves. They have snacks, drinks and even meal preps. I can go on and on, but honestly, you should just check out the place yourself. If you are serious about getting stronger or want to feel like you are a part of the gym you train at and not just another customer, you won’t be disappointed.

Easily one of my favorite gyms I've ever been in and wanted to be apart of. It's more than just a place to pump iron, it's a community, almost like a second family in a sense. From the designs, friendliness and the people. I'm proud to say I walked through the doors of Adelante where everyone aspires to be greater then themselves. An amazing place to grow, learn and get coaching. I gotta say it's Perfect in every way imaginable and I loved every lift I had.

Adelente has all the accommodations you need to train, workout, or just get in shape. They offer a spacious facility with a wide variety of equipment for powerlifters and weightlifters, including squat racks, olympic platforms, and dumbbells, kettlebells as well as equipments like the GHD, stair masters, treadmill, cable machines and so much more! You need kilo plates? They got you. You need pounds, no problem!

Are you shy? Don’t be! This place has the friendly groups of people I’ve ever met, from staff to members everyone is kind, respectful, supportive and all around good people!

They have coaching and PT on site! Truly a one stop shop!

Not sure if Adelente is for you, drop in and see for yourself! I love it here!

My favorite powerlifting gym! The owner and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable about powerlifting. My coach is very understanding when it comes to my work schedule, and customizes my program to account for tiresome days at work. There is always great food available at Adelante, too. If anyone is ever in need of a great powerlifting coach and community, Adelante Barbell Club is the place to be. You won't be disappointed!

I'm glad I came across Adelente Barbell Club because it's different than any other gym I've been to. It's more than just a gym actually—it’s a community. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere where everyone supports each other. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned lifter, the trainers take the time to understand your goals and offer personalized guidance. There is a camaraderie and motivating vibe here. The space is equipped for serious lifting but maintains a focus on the collective, making it a place where you truly feel like you belong.

Love my gym with my whole heart! Great facility for powerlifters, weightlifters, and people who just want to better themselves. I am a powerlifter, and I am super happy with all the equipment there. A good amount of TSS squat racks and bars and lots of comp specific plates to help make training easier. A good amount of machines and equipment to perform accessory exercises to boot including cable machines, dumbbells, pendulum squat machine and a hip thrust. And to top it off, you are surrounded by some of the most motivating and friendly lifters in the tri state area. So happy I joined here in 2022. I have met an amazing community here and lifting here is one of the highlights of my week ❤️!

The equipment is competition standard, the space is spacious and spotless, and there is even excellent coaching available. The owner goes above and beyond to foster a welcoming and supportive community, making it a great place to train. They even offer meal prep food on-site, which is super convenient. Whether you’re new to powerlifting or experienced, this gym provides an ideal environment for growth and progress.

I am so grateful I've had the pleasure of training at Adelante Barbell Club for several years. The facility is super spacious and has all of the equipment you could ever need for powerlifting, weightlifting, and general strength training. Not only is this a top notch facility, but there is also a strong sense of community (in a super friendly, welcoming, and not intimidating way). This place truly feels like a second home; training here has made me a better athlete and has also given me many close friends, both of which I am very thankful for.

I was a member at Adelante since they opened their first location. Since then I’ve made countless relationships and the owner Maku is now one of my closest friends.

Maku and the Adelante team have built a community that you won’t find anywhere else in NJ. Not to mention their coaching and equipment at the gym is next level!

I highly recommend checking out Adelante Barbell Club if you’re in the area.

Adelante is much more than a gym - it has provided me with a community. I’ve been a member since May 2023. From my very first day as a member, Maku and Evan knew my name and welcomed me every time I came in. A year and a half later I can say that I’ve found a family away from home and the support I get from the staff and members far exceed anything I’d expect from a commercial gym. 10/10, 5 stars would recommend to anyone - not just powerlifters.

I love this gym, started coming here about 3 months ago. Weight-lifting is my fitness of choice, and while I am not a serious powerlifter by any means, I like being surrounded by folks who are serious about their workouts. This gym is the best of both worlds: not intimidating at all (the owner is great and brings his two dogs in all the time), very friendly vibe, but folks are there to build muscle and strength. Granted, I usually come in the early afternoon, but I've never had to wait to use anything.

This is a powerlifting gym, so not a big selection of machines (if that is something you are looking for), but there's plenty of equipment (and space) for more sport-oriented training (kettlebells, bands, sled, etc), in addition to plenty of olympic platforms, squat racks, dumbbells, etc etc.

I came into the sport of powerlifting alone and quite frankly intimidated. I joined Adelante and months later I am now stronger, more confident, and leveled up! A great environment for beginners as well as seasoned lifters. Great diverse space, cool aesthetic, and dog friendly 👍🏼 supportive staff and members definitely helped me grow out of my shell and form connections with other lifters

If you are looking for a powerlifting gym this is it. Everything you would want as a powerlifting. Racks, plates, etc
Good equipment for accessory lifts. Dog friendly! Nice powerlifting community. Clean atmosphere and new equipment. Convenient location. Coaches available which is huge. If you are not a powerlifter another gym may be better for you.

Came to NJ to visit family and I’m in currently in comp prep. I needed a place I could go to workout and I found Adelante. Staff was extremely professional, facility is very clean, organized and has everything someone would need. Members were also very respectful and made you feel at home. Highly recommend anyone that’s out of state visiting or even instate looking to get into powerlifting or working out to visit. I’ll see them again next time I’m in town. Thank you for the hospitality.

Top notch equipment. I’ve worked out all over the world for work. The owner had all rogue racks, professionally equipped powerlifting stations, all rogue weights. There is so much space to get that perfect workout in. Best of all, there’s a pup that comes around to greet you and lets you pet her. This gym doubles as a weightlifting haven and a Jiu Jitsu club :)

Great non-commercial alternative for fitness. Mostly a barbell facility, but they do have dumbbells and other equipment. The atmosphere and community is what made me drop my previous gym membership. Everyone is motivated to help you, the owner gets to actually know you, CrossFit feel without the cult feeling or price tag, and the only intimidation is in your own head. Power and olympic lifting focused but doesn't mean that's a bad thing. Been seeing more results than paying for expensive classes at a commercial gym or niche programs where it would take me years to see the results I've been getting in a month.

The price is super fair with absolutely no enrollment fees, maintenance fees, nor are there any surprises. You could even just try the place out for a $10 day pass.
