So grateful to have found this place and Rob. I am chronically ill and have tried so many times to find a trainer that is patient and informed enough to work with me in a way that doesn’t make me feel awful the next several days. I am amazed at how quickly I am feeling progress working with Rob. On bad days he is patient and pushes me just enough. Highly recommend Rob and Austin Barbell Club no matter where you are at on your fitness journey.

Best weightlifting club in Austin period. Coach Rob is a top tier coach who has a passion for his athletes and is a wealth of knowledge. For any athlete or adult looking to make tremendous performance and longevity gains this is your gym.

I've been going to Austin Barbell for about six months.I can’t recommend Coach Tina highly enough. She is incredibly supportive of your individual goals and has a remarkable ability to push you just enough so that every session feels productive and successful. Her technical expertise is outstanding—I always felt safe, confident, and assured that I was using proper form.Olympic weightlifting can be intimidating, but Tina made the experience welcoming and empowering from day one. If you’ve been on the fence about trying this sport, don’t hesitate—train with Tina. You’ll be in expert hands!

I've had a great experience working with Coach Rob in personal training sessions. I came in with zero experience or love for the gym or weightlifting, but 1-1 sessions have helped me build confidence with barbells and general strength training. Its been an awesome experience working with Coach Rob to get introduced to weightlifting, and I've been able to see clear results and progress in just a few months.

Joined with no prior weightlifting experience and was made to feel welcome and part of the community from day 1. The coaches and programming are top notch and there are lots of convenient team training times. ABB has upleveled me in many areas of my life not just in the gym.

Great community, eleiko and uesaka barbells, tons of kilos plates, streamline sign up and easy access. Met coach Michelle and she was very kind and knowledgeable! Without a doubt one of the best weightlifting clubs I’ve ever been to.

THE Olympic Weightlifting gym in Austin. Everything you can hope for with all the right equipment, platforms, and friendliest staff & lifters. Lots of platforms, excellent barbells, tons of plates & 2 locations. We first visited while traveling to Austin & felt welcomed right away. This will be our home gym when we are in Austin. Highly recommend. Day & weekly passes if you’re just visiting.

Austin Barbell is easily one of the best weightlifting gyms I’ve ever dropped into. Rob made organising training while travelling completely seamless, and the gym had every piece of equipment I needed and more.10/10 people, equipment, and communication. Can’t recommend these guys enough! Will definitely be dropping in next time I’m in Austin 🙌🏼
