👍👍 This place AWESOME!! Even better banter! Been a member since opening and it’s not like any other gym. This is a true strength and conditioning facility. Highly professional trainers and owners. No trash music as you have full control over requesting your own jams. There’s no douchebags standing in... People often mention trainers, great, people, training, community, friendly,

    I have been training at Barbell for nearly two years. I was initially hesitant and nervous as it was a very different style of training than I was used to. I had never done weights-based training. With the small group classes, you are in awesome hands! There is lots of guidance and form correction to ensure you lift safely. They have a great app where you log your weights each class so you can see your progress which is something I love. In addition to that, there is a great sense of community and comrade.

    Friendly and knowledgeable trainers, warm and encouraging community and culture, and the most adorable gym dogs.

    I love this place! The coaches really make this place - they are supportive and caring people who pay very close attention to technique, who will make adjustments to each individual’s goals and physical condition, who will push you to progress safely and sustainability. The community and atmosphere of the people here are also very friendly and welcoming. I am a reserved person and dreaded the thought of exercising in a social environment but this gym has changed my mind. Also, the gym is dog friendly and there are sometimes cute dogs to pat in between sets.

    Been going here for over five years now, and cannot recommend it highly enough! Barbell Samurai is more than just a gym, it's a community of awesome, hard-working people (and dogs are welcome too). Shawn, Mason and the gang are highly knowledgeable and work hard to constantly innovate and improve the space wherever possible. Trainers and members alike are approachable, friendly, and welcoming, and the space is always a judgement-free zone. If you want a place to work out on your terms without vain gym bros grunting excessively through their 50th consecutive bicep exercise, then this is the place for you!

    Awesome gym, I go here 3 times a week to the group classes. There are usually between 1-8 people in each class so I still get individual attention and the trainers are very focussed and knowledgeable. I’ve been a member for a couple of months and have made considerable progress with my fitness, diet and general mentality.

    I have been going to Barbell Samurai for over two years. This is not your average gym, not even close. This performance gym has a great setup with plenty of different equipment, combined with awesome knowledgeable staff. One thing that really makes this gym stand out from all the others that I have been to is the sense of community. It is something you just can't find at your standard commercial gym and makes a huge difference. It is nice to go somewhere where the people know your name.

    I’ve been a member since 2019 and have enjoyed working with coaches who care about my lifting technique and ensuring that the members get a solid foundation to build from. The team has a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye for detail, and the members are very friendly and lots of fun to be around. The atmosphere is very open and inclusive.

    A great gym with a chilled out vibe & super knowledgeable trainers. This place has a grassroots feel with no ego - just awesome people who know their stuff & want to help you. Highly recommend to people of all fitness levels.

    I joined BBS 3 months ago after getting bored with my old gym, which was large chain gym that lacked soul, atmosphere and friendliness. BBS ticks all the boxes and the Small Group Training has helped my to push through my plateaus. All the trainers are friendly and welcoming, and they easily accommodate whatever your fitness level is. Highly recommended!

    Cannot recommend this gym and its trainers more highly, Mason particularly!!! Really interesting workouts (way more fun than your average gym) and super effective too. Results have been spectacular. I joined to rebuild strength and ensure proper recovery after childbirth - which was immediate and amazing!!! Sign up today, you won't regret it :)

  • 5/5 Chayan R. 4 years ago on Google
    Very different to your standard gym. People at the gym are always nice and friendly, all the staff are great, been training with my PT here for more than a year now. Lots of racks to use, so unlike major chains there's always free to use which is great. All the equipment they have is practical so you actually use everything that is there.

    This place AWESOME!! Even better banter! Been a member since opening and it’s not like any other gym. This is a true strength and conditioning facility. Highly professional trainers and owners. No trash music as you have full control over requesting your own jams. There’s no douchebags standing in front of a mirror (there aren’t any) doing curls. Plenty of weights and machines to do what you need to do. You always feel comfortable to ask questions or just join in the banter of the trainers and members alike.

    Prior to joining Barbell Samurai I was struggling for over 6 months to get back into my strength training regime. Thanks to their coaches Patrick and Chris, not only was I able to get back into consistent training, I also lost over 10kgs in the first 6 weeks of being there. Their knowledge ensured me to successfully push past limitations that I had in the past and exceed my strength expectations.

    One of the best gyms in Melbourne - it is not like your typical commercial gym, it is a gym that has a real sense of community and friendship. The trainers are the best of the best and are there to help whenever you need. The equipment is top quality and they are always getting in new and exciting equipment. Highly recommend this gym to all fitness levels!!
