Gus's Barbell Club

Friends of the Club

No gym can be everything to everyone. I’ve personally been a member of three gyms at the same time when it assisted my training to do so. If there’s something I can do to make the barbell club more suitable to you, please talk to me personally at (502) 472-3042 and I want to help. But for some common needs that I simply cannot provide, I want to recommend some friends for you to consider.

I was a member here and if I want to join a CrossFit class this is where I will go.

At-Home CrossFit

CrossFit Linchpin programming has no-equipment and limited equipment options. These programs got me through the Covid pandemic with dumbbells on a sidewalk.

Access-only Gym

Mid City Barbell. No-nonsense, affordable, supplies chalk. Only steel plates. Cash only. Some conditioning equipment.

Multi-location access-only gyms

Crunch Fitness gyms dependably have squat racks and platforms suitable for barbell training with memberships that let you workout nation-wide. Some may have policies against chalk or being too loud but I’ve never seen them enforced at the locations I visited. Only bumper plates. Expect crowds. Bring your own chalk and lifting straps for deadlifts as bars will likely be pretty smooth from wear.

A foggy gym.
