Denver Barbell Club

Great gym for anyone serious about powerlifting or olympic weightlifting. Love the 24/7 access and the coaches are very supportive and good at working with everyone from beginners to more experienced competitive lifters. The training program with optional in-person coaching hours I get from them only costs a little bit extra on top of the basic membership I have. A very good deal in my opinion. Training programs are well designed to accommodate people with full time work and other obligations that can make working out more difficult. Its a clean space with lots of wooden platform space, tons of barbells and bumper plates in great condition, good stereo system. It also shares a wall with a nice CrossFit gym which is cool. all around a great community to train with. Everyone here has a good attitude and pushes each other to be their best.

I wanted to share some feedback about Lindsay's coaching style. I saw her working with a new member on the snatch, and she's a pro! (For what its worth, all of the other coaches seem great - but due to the times I go, I usually only see Lindsay.) Lindsay struck a great balance between offering positive feedback for what the newcomer did well and providing constructive criticism without overwhelming them. Was there like a dozen things she could have corrected about their snatch? Sure, but what good would it do to drop all of that on them day 1? Lindsay chose to focus on just one or two corrections at a time. She had the person try again, then introduced another point for improvement, and so on. Ive been reading Greg Everetts olympic weightlifting book (nerd alert ) and her coaching approach aligns perfectly with his error corrections section. Specifically, coaching what to do instead of what not to do, limiting the critiques to just one or two at a time, and finding something positive to focus on. I really appreciate Lindsay's approach. A few things about the gym itself.. Its all competition-style kilogram plates, actually nice olympic barbells (I.e no rusty, bent, trash barbells. Theres also a good split of 15kg and 20kg bars), plenty of racks, and restrooms that dont look like a tornado went thru them. Parking is also never an issue. Would recommend.

Ive been a member of Denver barbell club for about 7years. Not only have I become a better power lifter an Olympic lifter, its also made me a better person overall. The team mentality that this club has is like no other place Ive ever seen. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable the other members themselves are always helpful and friendly. The facility is like nothing else in Denver
