Best gym that I have personally been at. It's all about business at this gym. I can really focus on lifting and working out. Owner and workers are friendly and hard working. No hidden agenda here. Everyone is just ready to work out and have a good time. A really fun place to work out in for all levels.

I love this gym so much! It has everything you need for weight lifting + more, great location and hours, and environment where you can really focus on working out. The owner is super friendly and always open to talk and give you tips. I recommended this gym to all my friends and definitely a place for long term!

Barbell culture is one of the best gyms I have ever been to I tried out many other gyms and I never been to such a welcoming great area just full of lifters! The owner is very welcoming and friendly always works with you and if you have any questions he answers them with no problems. Also just the members is just one big family it’s honestly so crazy I went from going to normal gyms to now being part of a family! I definitely recommended barbell culture ! Thank you guys so much for all the support and help I have received from everyone!

A good value gym. Lacks the amenities of competitors, but for the price it's a great value for weight training. Gym staff can be hard to reach if you need something but they work to make things right.

Like others I tried cancelling my membership through multiple phone calls and voice mails, and just got the run around or no response.

They rarely have employees present, so I had to get a new debit card.

*BEWARE* impossible to cancel a membership. I have called, emailed and visited in person repeatedly over the last 6 months and they continue to charge my credit card for a membership I cancelled in January. Had to cancel my credit card after no resolution.

ALSO this gym has *NO AC* and *UNHEATED LOCKER ROOMS* in the winter. I have literally had strangers threaten to puke next to me while working out at this gym because it was so hot.

Take your money to reputable business that will properly cancel your membership when asked.

Edit to respond to owner's response:
"One actual phone call would have solved this! " - I have called you repeatedly and spoken to you directly on the phone. You had the ability to cancel my membership then and there and instead directed me to come in person to fill out a form

"Cancellation forms are at the front desk, at all times. Right under the waivers." - They were not at the front desk on January 23rd when I came in person to cancel my membership. Nor was any staff from the gym present to assist me in finding the forms that are purportedly always available. However I did ask every person in the gym for help and none had any idea where these forms were located. I also left a voicemail on 1/23/25 explaining that I was unable to find the form that was needed and never received any response. I also sent multiple emails to the gym outlining my issues in writing and asking for assistance. When I spoke to you on the phone you told me you do not check your email. I gave you ample to time and opportunities to resolve this issue before taking it public and am happy to share receipts with any gym-goers who need further proof.

Positives: Nice squat racks.
Good deadlift platforms.
Good selection of quality barbells that are color coded for the lifting application, e.g., deadlift vs Olympic lift.
The patrons there are nice and accepting. People who go there are serious about getting their lift on, but without the meathead vibe. No gym bunnies trying to be social influencers. The fellow lifters there might very well be the strongest positive.

Negatives: Sometimes it becomes an Easter egg hunt to find a plate you need due to insufficient quantities. Not enough bumper plates in anything other than 45 pounds. The Olympic lifting area gets cluttered with miscellaneous gear such as hex "deadlift" bars.
The locker room is substandard. The electric hand dryer is anemic as best and does not sufficiently dry your hands after washing them. No paper towels are available for drying.

Overall: If you're dedicated/serious about lifting, this is a very good choice. I've been to other gyms in the Cleveland area, and they come up short against this one.

Canceled and moved out of Cleveland back in October. Gave written notice in person, owner knew I was moving when I signed up and when I handed in my notice.
I’ve been charged every month since October 2023.
Every call has gone to voicemail with no call back. Writing this review to hopefully get this cleared up, and if not, warn others of this behavior.

Great new strength/powerlifting gym in CLE. I travel a bit for work & always try to check out new places to train. This will be my go to spot moving forward when I’m in CLE. The staff is very friendly & willing to help if you need it. Plenty of power racks, combo racks, deadlift platforms, etc (most of it Rogue Fitness). Definitely worth checking out!

If you’re looking for positive vibes, good energy, motivation, and a place where everyone belongs... Barbell culture is the gym for you! They have the best power lifting coach, phenomenal personal trainers, and countless hype men/women. This is truly a place where everyone is welcomed and the goal is for everyone to improve and grow no matter their fitness style. The owner and gym manager are so down to earth. There’s also a 165lb powerlifter who trains there that’s pretty impressive πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
