Barbell Brigade Gym

Absolutely loved this gym.
I wish it was located on the west side.

6 squat racks - 4 olympic lifting platforms
4 benches - no machines except the assault bike, rower, and a cable machine.

Best pure strength focused gym i’ve been to in LA

Cool gym for the serious powerlifter. Very well kept with friendly and knowledgeable staff. No AC, but the fans keep the air circulation going and you don't notice it much when you start lifting. Worth checking out if you get the chance.

Always come here when Im in town for a couple of days with their 5 day passes. Nice environment, and really nice people. Really dig the powerlifting and old school gym vibes with majority metal weights. There are also bumper plates available for those who prefer as well for olympic lifting.

Love it. Get set up of bench presses and squat racks. Definitely a lifters dream. The rap music lyrics are pretty funny and entertaining. Thanks for the 😍 gym.

A well equipped gym that remains clean. Everyone was very friendly which made it easy to feel comfortable, they also provided a tour, offered assistance or to rotate music should it help with your lift. I look forward to being back in the LA area again as this gym is a MUST. Couldn't resist the nice apparel they have up front as well. I have nothing but good things to say and encourage all to check it out.

If you're thinking of getting some high quality gym apparel, Barbell Brigade offers some of the best quality material items out there. I decided to get one of their mystery boxes and I was pleasantly surprised with all the items that were included. Everything in it was something I would get myself. Sizes do run a bit on the larger side, but that's just additional motivation to fit in them.

Also special shoutout to the customer support team for addressing my shipping issue in such a timely and receptive manner. Incredibly professional all throughout.

The best place I have ever been for strength training, powerlifting or wieghtlifting, with all the possible accessories, a really respectful and welcoming atmosphere from the customers and from the personnel. Everything was clean and tidy.
Trained there for 5 days as we were visiting LA, and was one of the best things from LA.
I wish we had something similar in Barcelona.
Thank you so much!

I’m in the area for my birthday (originally from Florida) and wanted to get in a good workout. Mike was awesome and gave me a tour of the facility and made sure I knew what was what. Had a great workout and everyone was super cool. Next time I’m in town I’m 100% coming back.

Great amount of equipment for the space, plenty of accessories if needed, AND you can shoot some hoops.

Friendly and polite staff and gym goers. Clean and organized equipment. Thank you to Jose for providing me a tour and accommodating me on my visit to barbell brigade

Good atmosphere. Fun place too train, both for the very serious lifter and beginners. The members and staff are friendly and supportive.

Versatile gym for all levels. I will always hit Barbell Brigade when I visit LA! A morning workout sets the mood for the day. Get the $50 pass

Amazing gym with the old school feeling. It has the perfect mix of strongman and bodybuilding.

- $100/month, but no contract which is a plus.

- Friendly gym staff.

- Some street parking.

- Great gym for powerlifting and Olympics, but I wouldn’t body build here.

- Chalk is provided.

- Best to come in the morning.

- Like many reviews mentioned, the music is really loud 😂 You can ask them to lower the volume, but I don’t bother because I listen to my own music through my AirPods anyways.

Great and amazing atmosphere! A lot of patrons are photo ready but they also have the barbaric people like me who don't mind getting their clothes dirty. The machines are well kept and the outside section is one of my favorites. Also you don't have to wait for a squat rack because there are so many there!! By far one of my favorite gyms

Great gym and friendly staff!

Best workout I've had during corona. This place is great for lifting, they have everything you need. The ambience is relaxed and enough space for social distancing and they have and outer space. Even though I might only do 3 or 4 times a month due to corona it still a great place for workout for a great price.

Great place. Friendly staff, professional, and allows you to get in and out. No one bothers you and everyone pretty much does their own thing. I'm in town visiting and was able to go online and reserve a space. I purchased a five day guest pass. Whenever I am in town again, I would definitely go back here. Opens at 5 a.m. and closes at 12 a.m. whatever your schedule it can accommodate. Only thing to know is that it is currently reservation only. So you must go online and book a time slot. They book up fast so you would want to be proactive for the days and times you want.

Best gym in Los Angeles!! Bart and Geo are the best owners ever! If you didn't already know, they are also YouTubers they have many channels including JKNews, JKParty, and their vlog channel 🎥💪🔥

Location is a little difficult to get to if you don't drive, but a plethora of equipment and a relatively quiet Sunday afternoon crowd make for a great place to go get a pump. Lots of nice people and a really enjoyable environment to master the barbell.
