This place was great! I got to use this place a week out from my first powerlifting competition and bunker was more than well equipped to help me. Overall this place was awesome and I’m excited to come back!

Came to visit Lubbock for a couple days and found this gem. Great hospitality, equipment was great, the music was perfect so I didn't even need earbuds, the vibes were just perfect! I would recommend stopping by if you're visiting Lubbock or want to get into powerlifting or strongman or just want to be part of a good community

The owner is super cool, really enjoyed lifting there i would most definitely comeback, everything felt modern and what you'd expect from a powerlifting gym, their environment felt really old-school and the community is very welcoming. Would recommend if your in the area

Was visiting family in town and dropped into this hidden gem. If you're a powerlifter, it has everything you need. Really liked the options available and the owner was quick to respond through DM on Instagram (when I asked about a day pass). Highly recommend if in the Lubbock area!

In LBB for a few days and called JP. He said gym is yours and get after it. Incredible equipment and space to get in whatever you want to do. Cannot recommend you visit/join Bunker. If I lived in the 806 this is where I’d be. Thank you, JP!

Came by for the open house and never left! JP shows what it truly means to put your all into a gym. No other gym is comparable in LBK and thats a fact! The atmosphere is top notch and you'll always feel at home here. Perfect equipment for any of your powerlifting or strongman needs and he's always adding more. So excited to see what this next year brings!

There is not a better gym in Lubbock. If you’re serious about strength - this is the place to be. The community is untouchable, the equipment is exactly what you need, and there’s even gym doggos running around for moral support. Not only is the owner strong as hell, but he’s sexy as hell, and you would be too if you got a damn membership.

See ya there.

Best gym in the WTX period. As a traveling strongman competitor, it's VERY niche and hard to find strongman equiped gyms. This gym has it ALL! Stones, sandbags, logs, and yokes! The community itself felt like "home" love it here and will always return when im in town.

Came to Lubbock for a visit and ended up finding this powerlifting gym and honestly, it’s incredible. Not just the equipment, but the whole community vibe. It feels genuinely safe, welcoming, and full of good energy.
And the owner, JP, is an absolute gem. He made me feel like I’d always been part of the team! I reached out to him on Instagram and just 30 minutes later we met at the gym and he showed me everything. There’s plenty of PL and Strongman equipment, and stuff you can use such as Foam rolls, bands, charger etc.
There’s a clean bathroom with running water, drinks, snacks and supplements you can buy.
I’m back in Germany now but I genuinely feel like I’ve found amazing friends 🙌
Def worth a visit. I’ll be back for sure.
Sending lots of love from Germany! 🇩🇪💪🦍

Dude, honestly this place was super cool. I wasn't sure what to expect at a powerlifting gym, but it was awesome!!! A friend of mine recently became a serious athlete as a powerlifter and trains here. I got to come check it out with her with a day pass and it was so chill! 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve gotta say, this gym is seriously one of the best I’ve ever been to! Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to learn and explore. JP, the owner, is always around to lend a hand or answer any questions you might have. He really puts his heart into making sure the gym is the best it can be. Plus, the vibe is super respectful, no matter who you are or where you’re from. And the best part? There’s no contract, and you won’t find any sneaky fees with the membership.

Best powerlifting gym in Texas. Has everything you’ll need to make progress in your sport and on top of that the cleanest and best organized gym I’ve been too. Been to other gyms such as lift atx but it didn’t compare to being at the bunker.

The best gym ever, frankly debated permanently moving to Lubbock just for it. The environment and people are amazing and there’s really no place like it .. it’s got everything you need and more, and now even a snack table with honey buns that I have to stare at longingly in between sets. Just don't get your hopes up about it actually being underground like I did (spoiler it’s not.)

This gym is so awesome, you will enjoy it if you are a manly man and have high testosterone. Also the owner is super kind and is the best squatter (Like the lift not the homeless kind) I know. If you want to be a better lifter and be in an environment that allows you to do so, you should come here

A, genuinely, fully equipped strength gym. Huge abundance of powerlifting and strongman equipment. If there's a piece of equipment you need that isn't there, the owner will drive hundreds of miles to pick one up or build it himself. Its a strength training oasis
