The gym feels like home from day one. Good people run this place and they do a fantastic job at it. Don’t expect eucalyptus towels, or Zumba classes. This is a real deal PL gym with calibrated plates and IPF legal gear, the bathrooms and showers are always clean, there is chalk for you to use and most importantly there are no swarms of thirsty “trainers” trying to sell you shit that you don’t need. Everybody minds their business and has a good time lifting. The only way I’d be leaving this gym is if I would have to move out of state and that’s not happening. Thank you, Elite Team

"I've been training at Elite Barbell and I'm blown away by the community, coaches, and equipment. The atmosphere is motivating and supportive, pushing me to reach new heights. The place is always clean, and the shower room is top-notch. They've got professional power lifting equipment and top-of-the-line trainers to help you achieve your goals. If you're looking to join, I highly recommend asking for Milton and signing up - you won't regret it! The gym's also conveniently located near the subway, making it easy to fit a workout into your schedule. Highly recommend Elite Barbell to anyone serious about taking their training to the next level! They will give you a free trial training session. *Elite Barbell* 204 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232"

Excellent training gym with a full range of equipment that you won’t find in most conventional gyms. Kaya is A+. Been training with him for the last couple of months, and have been thrilled with my progress. He’s super knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with!

Absolutely love this gym, it's a true diamond in the rough. I was just looking for a gym to get a day pass for a quick workout. This gym has some very solid old school equipment and specialty equipment you just don't find in other gyms like a Wenning belt squat and a ton of speciality bars like the mars bar or khabuki football bar. They had Indian clubs which I haven't touched since in school at Swedish Institute. Milton is awesome too, very fair pricing, he is trying to build a community of lifters who are tired of the commercial gym setting. Really love my time at Elite.

To all readers, please keep in mind that this review exhibits an opinion that is unique to my experience. I am sure that each individual will have different things to share with the public. After being a member of this gym for three months, I have decided to leave and join another gym. Here are a few reasons for that decision. Music: There is no dedicated sound system in this gym; however, large Bluetooth speakers are provided for patrons to connect their phones. Unfortunately, most of the time, whoever chooses the music plays it at one of the loudest settings. This will prevent even the most advanced noise-canceling headphones from being useful. Many times, I would give up and turn my music off because I figured I was only damaging my ears if I increased the volume. Even at the highest setting, the gym speaker's music would still permeate the noise-canceling barrier. I decided to purchase the plan that includes the “exclusive” lifting rooms in the back, and even when closing the door to the innermost room, I could still hear the music. It felt as if I were in a music venue. This setting was not ideal for me, as my music taste differs from the music being played most of the time. Towels: The gym does not provide its clients with towels, but that’s okay; they make up for it in other ways. They do provide sturdy paper towels; however, the issue was that there were several days when no paper towels were provided at all, which meant I couldn’t wipe down the equipment. Most of the front staff spend their time on their phones and seem to be in their own world. Again, I don’t mind, but it would have made a better impression if they were just a little more attentive to the few amenities of the gym. Side note: You will need to bring a gallon of water for your own consumption during training, or opt to drink tap water from the bathrooms. No filtered water is offered here. Some of the conveniences: A block away from my residence. This was a significant factor i
