About Gainesville Barbell

Gainesville Barbell is a powerlifting gym in Gainesville, Florida, built for anyone serious about strength. Beginners, seasoned lifters, and competitors all train here with the same goal: to get stronger with purpose.

Gainesville Barbell was created to be a place where discipline and community meet. We believe strength training builds more than muscle. It builds confidence, resilience, and focus that carries into every part of life.

• Competition-style monolift
• Pound plates, specialty bars, and chains

Gainesville Barbell is proudly family-, veteran-, and woman-founded. We continue to be veteran-owned. Our roots are in service, hard work, and commitment. Those values guide how we train, coach, and build community every day.
