Colosseum Barbell Club — Local services in Webster

Just WOW. What can I say about this facility that will actually do it justice? I probably won’t, so go check it out and see for yourself asap. But I’ll try so here goes: From the VERY warm welcome from the staff (you can feel how much pride they have in this gym and how they genuinely want/love to be there). Upon entering, you’ll find a HUGE selection of protein bars/snacks, apparel, drinks, supplements, (even a jar of bubble gum for us teeth grinding lifters lol). The equipment is top notch; whether you are a strongman, powerlifter, Crossfitter, bodybuilder, OLY lifter, or just an average Joe wanting to get in shape-this place has it all and continue to expand with their members needs in mind. It’s obvious that the owner(s) spared no expense in the quality of equipment they chose. The facility is very clean, the colors are aesthetic and the lighting isn’t harsh. If you are intimidated by gyms-I can assure you, not only is this place state of the art gorgeous-the atmosphere is so welcoming, warm and full of that community feeling. Run, don’t walk, to check this...

This is the most fantastic gym I have ever worked out in. It’s always clean, the equipment is first class, the staff is friendly, and there is a growing community here of people with the goal of just being better than yesterday. Whether you just want to be fit and strong enough to keep up with your kids, stay fit for your job, or are training to powerlift, Olympic lift, bodybuild, compete in strongman comps, this spot has the equipment for you and a supportive community of people to learn from, train with, and to stop what they are doing to coach you into a PR. Plenty of equipment and space for cross training, stretching, cardio, and whatever fitness methodology you want to test and grow yourself with. They won’t remember your name at Planet Fitness, but the owner will smile, greet you by name and check in on your workout and progress. And if you’re a headphoner who doesn’t like to talk and likes to just get your stress out solo with the weights, people respect that too. Beyond worth checking Colosseum...

This is THE place to train at if you are a powerlifter at any level. For main lift training they have combo racks (more than 8 of them), calibrated plates (eleiko, rogue, ghost, TSS, and hansu power), competition standard clamps, power bars and basically every specialty bar you might need based on the federation you compete it, and deadlift platforms. Aside from specialty competition bars, they also had some pretty rare specialty training bars and plenty of strongman tranining equipment. For accessories they have all the essential machine and free weight equipment needed.

On top of being a powerlifters playground, the gym staff are incredibly friendly and helpful AND the facility is impeccably clean and well cared for.

Don’t pass up training at this gym if you live close enough. I was visiting New England for the holidays and the thirty minute drive was more than worth it for me. The have normal memberships but also day, week, and as of this writing, 10 day...
