    After living in Belgium for 8 years, Brussels Barbell is the only place I've found where I'm guaranteed to have a quality workout every time I visit. A platform, rack and weights to yourself and a top coach in Steve Ross makes the whole experience really enjoyable - not to mention the really friendly and supportive community of staff and fellow lifters. Also as someone who has struggled with back problems over the years, this place has been lifechanging. Thanks to the workouts, I haven't had any issues with my back since. If you live in Brussels and want to get stronger in a sustainable way then I can't recommend Steve and his gym more. There's also a cute dog.

    Steve is the best coach you will find in Brussels. At the Clinic you will feel included, encouraged and have so much fun with your peers and Steve. You will also learn so much about strength training so you can progress injury free and know the rationale behind what you do in the gym. No matter your fitness level, age or gender, if you want to feel accomplished after every session by making progress and feel stronger, you need to try out the Barbell Clinic!

    Visited for the starting strength camp 09/22 and enjoyed every minute. Steve is a great coach and a nice guy. Gym has everything to perform the barbell lifts. Hope there will be more coaches and SS gyms in Europe soon to help people Join the Fight Against Muscular Atrophy.

    Joining my cousin we went for a ‘private’ barbell clinic and didn’t know what to expect. I was very curious to see how much I could improve my technique and man I learned a lot from coach Steve. This will help me a lot to get stronger and relieve my back problems. Coach Steve is very knowledgeable and knows how to explain in detail about the 'how' and 'why' and that is so important because you are explained in an understandable way what you are doing. After all you are working on your body to get stronger and not to ruin your body, because that will happen when doing exercises on the wrong way During the clinic you will get to work and you will immediately experience how to do the exercises in the right way which is very valuable. Thank you Steve for your patience and taking the time to teach us these important exercises so we can apply them properly from now on. It was very nice to meet you, your parents and Zoe. I am sure we will come back for a form check.

    It was just a randomly searching on google for weightlifting and gym, but after 6 month being here, Brussels Barbell, that search turns out to be my best investment in Brussels! Now not only I’ve been stronger, healthier and able to lift more weights, Gabi, Steve and Pedro, are so nice and have a good way to guide members to achieve their higher goals. Must come! Join the vibe, no disappointment. The photo is the awesome Steve😉

    Positives: Professionalism, Communication, Quality of equipment Brussels gym offers the best detailed strength training in the whole Europe as the only Starting Strength affiliate gym and it really stands up to this programs name. The training method is explained to the smallest detail by coach Steve and you can start to tell the difference on your main exercises immediately. I had followed the Starting Strength program through online videos and had already learned the basics but my form still needed correction and now every kind of pain during the exercises is gone. This was a place where everyone can fuel the motivation and desire to work out with the knowledge of the correct technique and I think that is the only way to really have a strength progression.

    I started training by myself in a commercial gym for a while until one day I found Brussels Barbell on social media. The first clinic section was amazing and coach Steve Ross corrected a lot of mistakes I had in strength training. Since then I visit the Brussels Barbell every week without skipping. You can have your own power rack and weights in the 1.5hr training section and coach Steve will guide every work sets. The vibe and people here is amazing!

    Steve is great even for people like me that I have never done a minute of sport since I was in school and I am 56…Great coaching and motivation. I was very skeptical when I started three months ago, but I am still there, never miss a class twice a week and my back problems are gone. If you want to invest in your health for later in your life, this is the place in Brussels!

    I love it, I love it, I love it! Thank you Steve! I had my first session the other day and it was amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect and was a little apprehensive at first, but the moment I met coach Steve I felt welcome, comfortable, at home. He made everything seem so simple, and yet it was obvious the depth of knowledge of the mechanics of the human body this guy has. Overall I had a fantastic time in this comfy, friendly gym like no other I have ever seen. While my session didn't seem exhausting, probably thanks to the good judgment from Steve of weights and exercises to do, the next day I did feel this healthy muscle feeling that was saying "you did good!" I am going to be a regular, so see you all there!

    As someone that stopped training many years ago & was quite intimidated by strength training, Brussels Barbell has really been a transformative experience. You immediately feel at ease & there is an atmosphere of inclusion and support for all levels. The coaches are fantastic - they know exactly where you are and they are with you at every step of your strength journey. The model / set-up of the work outs are tailored to your level and you are able to focus on getting a few key things right, and then gradually you are able to build on that. Extremely happy to have found this amazing gym in Brussels!

    Visiting from London, Brussels Barbell is founded and run by ex-professional sportsmen, they are professional, passionate and caring. Highly recommend this well-equipped training centre if you are serious about improving your fitness. Great community and friendly members. Free coffee, and you're likely greeted by the CEO, Zoe (Chihuahua) who will supervise your lifting. Well equipped with changing rooms, showers and everything you need.

    If you want to get in shape with strength training, this is your place 💪. Other gyms in Brussels don't even come close. The coaching staff is fantastic. Steve and the rest are very attentive and knowledgeable trainers. They know how to work with anyone from beginners to more experienced, and they love what they do. They know all of their clients, their strengths, their weaknesses, and they are dedicated to you from the minute you walk in the door. They keep you engaged with incredibly insightful and specific feedback about how you should be exercising and about your safety and good technique. Aside from the positive atmosphere and support, great and well-maintained equipment (chalk allowed), super friendly community, excellent music, and the fact that you will become stronger while having a good time. I'm very happy that I became a member.

    The perfect place to cut back the noise and reach new heights. The level of coaching is excellent, Steve’s always locked in on your technique. Making sure you deliver everything with precision and purpose. This support and the confidence it brings is exactly what you need when things start to get heavy! A testament to years of hard work that went into becoming the only Starting Strength affiliate in Europe. If you want to get serious, this is the place.

    I was initiated to Brussels barbell as a team building outing with my rugby team and I was SOLD! The atmosphere, the owners, the coaches make it the perfect blend for an amazing place to train. 100% recommend to anyone who’s starting out or who’s an experienced weight lifter. There’s a place for everyone! PS: a cute little dog runs around the gym, which is just a bonus.

    Fantastic gym! It's great that Brussels finally has a serious place to train and the standard of coaching is outstanding. The other lifters create a warm and friendly environment that make training so much more fun. You can tell this is a Starting Strength Gym!

    I’ve been following the progress of Brussels Barbell since they opened and finally managed to plan a trip from London to Belgium to visit. The gym is everything you would expect from a Starting Strength affiliate gym. A warm welcome at the door from the gym dog Zoe, a cup of coffee to get you going, great quality equipment and first class coaching from Steve, Pedro and team. It all makes for a brilliant training session. The vibe in the gym is extremely welcoming with a wide mix of nationalities and people from different backgrounds all working together to be better and stronger versions of themselves. I was pleased to hit PRs on all three lifts in the training session all under the expert guidance of Steve and Pedro. I could have stayed all day (I nearly did!). If you are into strength training - and even if you are not - Brussels Barbell is a must visit. Can’t wait to go back.

    If you're looking for learning the core barbell lifts and getting strong, Brussels Barbell is definitely the best gym in town and one of the best in Europe. Every rep you make is supervised by a coach and the environment is super friendly.

    6 weeks back we arrived in Brussels and began looking for the best gyms in our area. Brussels Barbell caught our attention most because of the overwhelmingly good reviews. We've never done any strength training, however, and were nervous, thinking it might be too advance for us. We could not have been more wrong. We are so glad we reached out. Steve, the owner and head coach, made us feel welcome and guided us through our first clinic (if you're new like we were definitely do the clinic!). We got hooked and for the remainder of our stay in Brussels we attended multiple classes per week. All the coaches are terrific: Giorgi, Fran, Chloe, and Roberto, will help you get stronger with proper technique. The strength training was as good as the reviews say. I'll also echo what others have said: the community in the gym was amazing. All the other trainees were so kind and everyone was encouraging of each other. Brussels Barbell made our time in Brussels extra special. Thanks to the whole crew.

    If you want to become strong and stay fit in the long term, Brussels Barbell is your place. Brussels Barbell has excellent personal trainers that provide very specific and actionable advice. After two months, you and people around you will start to see the difference. Plus, Steve and the team create a great, motivating atmosphere in which working out is fun.

    I had the best experience at Brussels Barbell! Despite knowing how important strength training is for health & longevity (especially for women), I’ve always been intimidated by strength training gyms. Steve and his team of coaches completely changed that- they are so welcoming and kind and made me feel totally comfortable. They train people of all ages, genders, and experience levels, and they make sure you build good habits & enjoy yourself while you’re there. I’m so glad I made Brussels Barbell part of my stay while I was in town- I can’t recommend it enough.

    Steve is a highly knowledgeable and world class strength coach and is dedicated to teaching the members of Brussels Barbell the art of getting strong. His gym is a classic black iron gym, equipped with all that is necessary to perform the big important lifts.

    I've been a Brussels Barbell member for 8 months now (since September 2022) and I don't think I've ever been part of a such great community. Serious training that results in stellar progress made all the more enjoyable thanks to owner & head coach Steve, Gabi, Pedro, Roberto and Georgi. Really enjoy the coaching and supportive environment. Easy to book via app and great communication when needed. Recent expansion was great and more room to train and extra variety for supportive exercises beyond the barbell. Easily worth every penny, an investment you will not regret. Some idea of progress in the pictures :)

    Literally the best gym ever! Highly professional and motivational coaching in a friendly atmosphere. At this gym you are not doing some random exercises - you are keeping it simple by sticking to a few basic lifts and following your own programme, which of course takes into account your personal starting level. Highly recommended!

    I joined Brussels Barbell six months ago as I was looking to increase my strength and therefore my health and longevity. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Each coach is very knowledgeable and dedicated to getting the best out of their clients. It also helps that the atmosphere is super, and the coffee tastes good too. 😊

    This was my first time being coached by a Starting Strength Coach, and Steve exceeded all expectations. He was welcoming, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer all my questions in depth in various easy-to-understand ways. The gym has top-notch equipment and is the kind of place you’d want to hang out in for multiple hours while getting to know the awesome members. Thanks again to Steve! I’ll be back soon!

  • 5/5 Natalia V. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic team, great studio and brilliant ethos. I joined Brussels Barbell little over 3 months ago and have no regrets. The concept is simple but the progress and reward, both mentally and physically, is unmeasurable. Brussels Barbell provides a safe, clean and welcoming environment for strength training. The team have a wealth of knowledge (and good humour!) and support you through every step of your training. I'm finally training consistently, seeing progress and enjoying the journey. Thank you !

    From the moment I stepped into Brussels Barbell, it was evident that this facility is in a league of its own. Housing an extensive range of top-tier equipment—including specialized Olympic bars and competition-grade powerlifting bars—the gym sets the stage for peak performance and unparalleled training sessions. The team, led by Steve, went above and beyond to ensure an outstanding experience. Not only did they offer essential refreshments like water and coffee, but their proactive approach made it abundantly clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority. Steve's hospitality epitomizes what it means to feel genuinely welcomed and supported in a fitness environment. But what sets Brussels Barbell apart is more than just its premium equipment and stellar staff. The gym exudes an aura of community and camaraderie, amplified by the presence of a charming canine companion who brings an added layer of warmth to the atmosphere. This delightful touch transforms an already exceptional facility into a unique, soul-enriching experience. Whether you're a seasoned powerlifting athlete or an aspiring fitness enthusiast, Brussels Barbell offers an exceptional training ground that elevates both your physical performance and your overall well-being. In a nutshell, Brussels Barbell doesn't just raise the bar—it redefines what a gym can be. I can't recommend this facility highly enough for anyone committed to achieving their best in both sport and life.

  • 5/5 Benjamin D. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym has a great atmosphere, and all of the other members are really great people and fun to interact with. The gym has the essential facilities to actually be called a gym, unlike some other large corporations who call themselves a “gym” but have a pitiful free weights section. The gym is able to accommodate 5 people each with their own lifting platform, bench, and rack, and they are even expanding and increasing this number. The platform and the rack are essential for completing core strength building lifts, and frankly I find it disappointing that many of the other gyms in Brussels I have been to had either none of this equipment at all, or had you fighting with 4 other people to share one bench or rack. Honestly, one of the best parts of Brussels Barbell is that I know that I am going to have everything I need to get a meaningful lift in a reasonable amount of time. Now, what you are paying for at Brussels Barbell is not just a gym membership, but a Starting Strength certified personal trainer who will be there to give you advice and improve your form; a guaranteed platform, rack, and bench to ensure that you can work on all core strength building lifts; a personalised workout programme to increase strength that will give you visible results if followed consistently, and just a great place to lift with great people! The head coach here (Steve) is a knowledgeable person who is there to help you every step of the way, and without his insights, I would’ve stayed at a plateau on many of my lifts. Before making the decision to join Brussels Barbell, I had become seriously unmotivated because i wasn’t seeing very many improvements in my lifts. In the six months that I have joined Brussels Barbell, I have made more strength gains than I have in the past 4 years.

    I always had a tough time motivating myself to go to the gym consistently. Since I found Brussels Barbell going for workouts no longer feels like a chore. Steve, Pedro & Gabi are great to be around with and make the gym sessions extremely gun & engaging. After less than 6 months I have already become much stronger and my posture has improved dramatically. Needless to say I will continue working out here regularly for as long as I am based in Brussels

    Would recommend Brussels Barbell to everyone! What I like is the focus on proper technique & form. It's a safe space for people who are starting out as you get 1 on 1 feedback. This is the first time I have been training this consistently and the progress is immense. On top of that, Steve and his team are really nice & I always have great time!

    Brussels Barbell 🏋‍♂️ Strength training is the need of the hour. And Brussels Barbell 🏋‍♂️ is the right place for it ........ Steve, Gaby, Roberto, Georgi, Zoey 🐶 everyone are there for your every question during your training. Your workouts are curated to best fit you. And they even remember your last lifted weight though you forget 😲. They coach you properly on your movements, stance, angles, balance, rest and everything associated. Working out the right way is very important and that's ensured here. I have been training with the team for last 6 months and it's worth every moment. Great environment, coffee, music, brand and community to be part of Brussels Barbell 🏋‍♂️ Stay Strong 💪

    I really love Brussels Barbell. I have started around 5 months ago and, since then, I have seen sustained progress day by day with my strength. In addition to that, a lot of people around me have told me that I look way better and in shape. This is the first time in my life that I have actually been able to gain weight. To be precise, I have gained around 10 kg just eating normally and doing exercise at Brussels Barbell. The special thing about Brussels Barbell is the expertise that all the coaches have to ensure that we exercise appropriately, specially Steve. Steve and Gabi have been able to build a really exiting brand, but even more importantly , a very cozy community of people that exercise to become stronger. It's like all of us share a common goal! Roberto, Giorgi and Francesco are perfect complements to the combo; each of them with their own style, you're sure to always be supervised by a knowledgeable coach, but also very nice folks. Cherry in the cake is that you're always greeted with a warm smile and with a coffee or tea, whichever you prefer. If I had to start again, I would. Can't recommend Brussels Barbell enough. Just go andexperience it yourself! 🙌🏼

    Brussels Barbell is by far the best strength training gym in Brussels. Every person always gets their own platform even in group coaching situations. Really friendly and supportive atmosphere and the coach Steve is highly professional. His advice and guidance is always geared to my own needs! Highest possible recommendation!!

  • 5/5 Meghna S. 7 months ago on Google
    I have been a member of Brussels Barbell for about 3 months. I truely love my workouts there. They have a wonderful, welcoming and friendly environment, that is not intimidating for beginners like myself. There are always instructors watching and supporting you. Its a great way to build strength in a safe, non-judgemental environment. I highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Cecilia S. 7 months ago on Google
    I dropped in at Brussels Barbell while traveling, and was super impressed. Steve was so welcoming, and the gym is well equipped. I was able to do my Olympic weightlifting program in the gym with no problems. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Joao D. 10 months ago on Google
    There’s no other place in Europe to train coached by Starting Strength Coaches. The standard of expertise and care here far surpasses any gym I have ever been to. The coaches go through rigorous testing before becoming official starting strength coaches and it shows in their ability to coach through each lift and cater to all kinds of lifters, young and old, new or experienced. I wish I had made the trip much sooner than I did. Anyone who is willing to put the time and effort into training weekly, needs to come down to Brussels Barbell, Steve Ross helped me get back on track and I can’t wait until my next visit!

  • 5/5 Brutha F. 10 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately 5 stars is the maximum, otherwise I would give more! The 5+ hour drive from Fulda, Germany was more than worth it. From the moment I arrived to my form check, I felt welcomed by Steve and his talented staff and other members (and Zoe, his cute little dog). On the platform, Steve took the necessary time to explain everything in great detail and identified problems with my form - which he was able to help me correct immediately. As someone very familiar with the proven Starting Strength method of getting stronger, I am able to fully appreciate the amazing skill level of Steve. Fact is you won't find a better strength coach anywhere in Europe! Highly recommended gym for strength enthusiasts of all ages! Thanks again to Steve and his team. See you again soon! -Gary

    Phenomenal experience at Brussel’s Barbell. Steve, the owner, is an awesome guy, very organized, and keeps the gym clean. I was impressed and happy to see a strength gym offered with the specialty equipment that they have. Weight lifters, this is a great gym to train at while you’re passing through on vacation!

    I have been lifting weights for many years and thought I knew much about it, seeking strength and performance, but the concept of Brussels Barbell is on another level. beginners but also very accomplished weightlifters will find an interesting approach and a challenging matching their profile, no doubt about it.

  • 5/5 Markus W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym and more importantly: great trainer! Steve is super knowledgeable and professional and creates a fun and motivating atmosphere. Small group format (max 5 people) is perfect. Highly recommended if you are serious about your training!

  • 5/5 Suzanne van den B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gym in whole of Europe! Getting stronger is one of the best ways to improve your overall quality of live and your health (and to just feel badass) and Steve uses the best method out there (starting strength method) to get you strong!! The training style is simple and very effective. I started working with Steve a couple of months ago and I love how enthousiast and welcoming Steve is and how he is always ready to answer any question you might have. And of course I love that I am getting stronger, setting new personal records every week :) The gym atmosphere is amazing: training with people that have the same mindset but that can be from all different backgrounds and ages. And you have everything you’ll need when you’re training: a personal rack/barbell/plates. No need to wait around for equipment. On top of that there’s a cute gym dog to keep you company, what more can I say.

  • 5/5 paul j. 2 years ago on Google
    If you’re looking for a gym that works on building up your strength - Brussels Barbell is the place! Steve Ross is the man, he puts you through your paces, and builds you a solid approach. I been going to gyms for years, but this place beats them all! Helps to have Steve on hand to make it, a good coach is hard to beat!

  • 5/5 Lauri S. 2 years ago on Google
    Congrats Steve for opening the Brussels Barbell! Finally a dedicated strength training place for serious work. A highly professional gear and super coaching with very friendly and meticulous explanation (even I could understand, coming from a Nordic country...) of the physics', correct way of lifts and follow-ups. Very much recommended for everyone, regardless of age or gender. Even chalk is provided!

  • 5/5 Francisco G. 2 years ago on Google
    Been using Steve for two years. His understanding of the body and how to deal with injuries is impressive and superior to most coaches. I’ve never known a coach that was so attentive to the right technique, which allows you to progress effectively and injury free. Starting strength coaching has allowed me to get stronger and I haven’t suffered from neck or back pain since, no matter how many hours I sit in front of the computer.

    I traveled to Brussels for a few days during the week and wanted to makes sure I was able to get in my normal workout. I'm a Starting Strength disciple, and I was familiar with Brussels Barbell as a Starting Strength affiliate. When I walked through the door I felt immediately welcome. Steve, the owner set me up with a rack and let me know he and his coaches were available to answer any questions. He even offered me coffee and water. During the workout, I had a few coaches come over and give me some very valuable feedback. I'm an experienced lifter, but I love to get form checks and adjustments from experienced Coaches. I found the coaches to be very capable and knowledgeable. There was a great and supportive community in the Gym and Brussels Barbell truly embodies the culture I love about Starting Strength affiliate gyms. There was a range of ages and ability levels, but all were lifting and all were getting stronger. I will continue to train at Brussels Barbell for the duration of my stay in this wonderful city, and anytime I come back. Thank you to Steve and the crew at Brussels Barbell; and to all the lifters I met on the platform.
