West Chester Barbell Club

Have been doing the intro to Olympic weightlifting lessons with Ryan and am really enjoying them! Great instruction with good feedback for improvement and growth. I was just thinking today how much I have learned in a short time. The gym itself is nice too - good equipment and vibe. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to learn lifts, or anything else related to weightlifting.

I have been going to West Chester Weightlifting for over a year for private lessons and in small group. All of the coaches are excellent, friendly and really know their stuff. Olympic Weightlifting is really an excellent sport and I really enjoy both competing and training. I also want to say thank you for making a great environment in the gym.

Absolutely blown away by West Chester Weightlifting and the coaches who work and train there. Outstanding coaching from extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly staff. The equipment is top of the line and facility immaculately cleaned and maintained. Whether your goals are to learn the classic lifts, just get in shape, build confidence and skills in the gym or even get to a competitive level of weightlifting. There is no better gym in the area.

An awesome gym with great coaches who will help you achieve your goals. A very welcoming environment where everyone is friendly and want to see you succeed. For anyone looking to get into the sport of weightlifting this is a great place to begin your journey and I cannot recommend it enough!

We’ve had a wonderful experience working with West Chester Weightlifting. Ryan and Jenny have worked with our 11 year old son to teach him the proper weightlifting technique and build his strength level, all while helping to grow his confidence in a new sport. WCW is a very positive, encouraging environment.

I have been coming to WC weightlifting for private lessons and a few group sessions for a few months now. I am very happy to have found a Olympic weightlifting gym that focuses on the details of the lift and help me improve every step. WC weightlifting also holds regular challenge events and support the members in various weightlifting competitions, giving the members opportunities for growth. If you are looking for a gym with friendly coaching, a tailored workout program, clean and welcoming environment, I highly recommend WestChester Weightlifting gym.

West Chester Weightlifting has been one of my favorite places to go during the week! They have top level coaching and a friendly atmosphere that allows for your growth in the sport of weightlifting to thrive. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to learn about strength in general or specifically in weightlifting.

Great gym! Ryan has gathered an excellent team. My son's progress for an year is amazing. He loves being there. Would recommend the gym to everyone!

We love West Chester Weightlifting!! Both my daughters lift here and Ryan and his team create a warm, welcoming, inclusive, encouraging and affirming environment. It has been very empowering for them and helps with self confidence.

My favorite weightlifting gym in the Philadelphia suburbs! Friendly atmosphere, patient and up-to-date coaches, team spirit, and a good range of equipment. The 1:1 on-ramp lessons with coaches Ryan, Jenny, and Maeva helped me pinpoint my top areas for improvement and develop good technique from the start. After finishing these lessons, they still work with me during group classes to give me pointers and support. The members are a diverse mix of beginners, intermediates, and seasoned weightlifters who help one another in each other’s goals. Additionally, the club hosts a number of fun special events for members, as well as competitions and fitness challenges.
