After being forced to shutdown for the Covid-19 pandemic, Kansas City Barbell is reopening up on May 15th at 6am, which follows the guidelines Kansas City laid out in their 10-10-10 rule

We moved from a 1500 square foot floor space to more than double the size at 3400 square feet.

Our gym added squat racks, platforms, more power racks, a reverse hyper, sleds, turf, strongman implements, doubled the amount of weight plates, and much more.

Scott Hall joined us from Mississippi:

Scotty Hall earned his USAW Level 1 when he studied and certified under USAW Senior International Coach Mike Gattone at the University of Memphis.

He went on to certify as a USAW L2 coach under USAW Senior International Coach Mark Cannella at Rogue headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.

He continued his education studying under USAW Senior International coach, and Chairman of the Board, CJ Stockel, in Alpharetta, Georgia. In 2014 he studied under Olympic silver medalist Dmitry Klokov, in Little Rock Arkansas.
Scotty opened Hall Barbell and Fitness, in 2015, for one on one training and small group coaching, out of Premiere Athletix in Tupelo, MS. He then moved on to open FitLab Tupelo/Tupelo Barbell Club in 2018. This new facility was born of the desire to provide unparalleled coaching in a quality, supportive, and private training environment. He enjoyed great success and client satisfaction.

At the Mississippi State High School championships, in 2017, he successfully coached Tyler Roberts to an overall third place win in the 198 class. At this same competition he coached Dylan McGregor to the strongest 5A squat (680) as a 220 pound high school powerlifting athlete in the history of the State of Mississippi High School powerlifting championships. Dylan took 1st place and was awarded best lifter for his performance at this meet. In 2018 Scotty coached Dylan to a WPA world record squat, and tota,l in the 16-17 year old division. Dylan is now a USAW Certified Coach and continues to study under Scotty’s guidance.

In 2019 Scotty successfully coached Brook Kirk through the MS State High School championships. Her performance at this event earned her a powerlifting scholarship to Blue Mountain College where she continues her studies.
Scotty has worked with lifters from all walks of life and all ages.

In 2016 Scotty held the Mississippi squat, bench, deadlift, and total records in both the USPA and APA Submaster 220 division. His APA records stand to this day.
