Time to change your new "normal"

“The art of strength is the way.”

Our facility is a community of strength enthusiasts joined for a collective goal: to be stronger, healthier, and better than yesterday.

Some of us compete and test our strength; some choose not to. We have a team of Powerlifters and an in-house Weightlifting team under Team Kansas City Barbell of USAW. Many walk into our gym new to barbell-based training, while others have been training for years. The common denominator we share is the love of strength training in an “old-school no-frills” gym where you are treated with respect.

The Kansas City Barbell owners and coaches will teach you, encourage you, and push you to be your personal best while our community of members train beside you and support you through your journey.

As a USAPL silver level facility, we are full-service. This means EVERYONE gets coached even if you don’t use our resources for workout programming, you have a coach at our gym to assist you, help you, correct your form, maximize your progress, and help you with anything related to training and nutrition.

We also provide programming, personal training, and nutrition counseling. We are the only gym in Kansas City to offer coaching each time you step foot in the gym to train. We do this without overly packed classes, which are bound to have a lack of personal attention.Why join any gym? Join a movement and embrace the art of strength training with Kansas City Barbell.

Kansas City Barbell is downtown KC's first and only gym dedicated to the art of strength training.
