The BEST gym in Illinois! Whether you want to do basic exercise, bodybuilding, strength training, powerlifting, or more, Barbell 4:13 has the best of what you need! Owned by two world champion powerlifters, and home to numerous other world and national champion powerlifters, this gym is set apart by members who really want results and come here to train on the best equipment around. Come personal train with world champion strength athletes for the same price as the comercial gyms whose trainers have no credentials and little to no experience. Month to month memberships, no hidden fees, what you see is what you get; a grungy, rusty, sweaty gym where the girls are stronger than the guys at that overpriced fancy gym!

Old school gym for serious workouts and weight lifting. This isn't the place to go if you want to take up space playing with your phone. Go to Planet Fitness for that.

If you prefer old school and don't care about clean equipment... this is your place. There are often few people training during the week and you can make more progress than in gyms that are full with people who are just sitting on the equipment doing nothing with their cell phone in hand.

The environment is encouraging, especially for heavy lifting. Everyone is so friendly and open to giving advice on different lifts and how to progress further. Very glad i’ve switched to this gym. Also has all the equipment you need!

This gym is perfect. No hassles of signing up for extra stuff. Great equipment. Atmosphere is awesome. People there to push you and bring you to your best potential. There’s no reason to feel intimidated by anyone there, because everyone there is there for a purpose and to help out. It’s honestly a family feel. Egos are left outside. Go here if you want to get healthier and feel good and look good.

One of the best gyms I've been a part of. The team is excellent and very helpful with tips. The best part about Barbell is that the people that go there, go there to work hard. You don't see a bunch of people standing around taking pictures of themselves. They create an awesome environment.

I’ve seen both Dr. Anderson and Dr. Shelby at Barbell 4:13 for muscle related issues. Both did an an incredible job releasing my muscle tension and to allow me to get back to performing at optimal levels in the gym. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍

4:13 is an amazing gym, full of amazing people. From the ownership to the members, everyone who frequents this Paradise is incredible.
The equipment heavy reflects the intent and training of the membership - any bar you want, you will find, from cambered squat bars to heavily knurled deadlift bars.
Three monolifts, equipment and supplement sales, training, and general community. It's all here. If you're serious about powerlifting and serious about strength, this is THE gym to go to in the area.

I had a great time lifting here. Everyone was friendly, and the facility had everything you could ever need. Their merchandise is also awesome with some really cool designs. If you are in the area and in need of a power lifting home; I hope you find one here. I know I wish I could.
The only downside is that I won't get to lift here for longer!

I can guarantee you will not find a better gym with a supporting family structure where regardless if you are a amateur or pro, you are treated the same. Every coach/personal trainer in this place are immediately keen to help if needed, the gym has state of the art old school style and newer alike equipment. Go in and check it out and you will not be disappointed.

By far the best gym in the area.
It’s clean, priced right without any crazy contract gimmicks, and has fantastic equipment.
There’s something here for people wanting to get in a little better shape all the way to people who want to be competitive powerlifters.
The regulars here are friendly and I like the environment a lot.
Definitely recommended.
