Black Country Barbell: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Since joining at the beginning of September I've noticed how much stronger I feel and how much better my clothes are fitting. I'm more energised after a gym session and I feel much better about myself. Sean is a fantastic trainer who is encouraging and supportive. He's also very knowledgeable and makes me want to achieve the weights he's increasing at every session!!
Fantastic experience: As a busy full time working single mum of twins, I’ve rarely felt that I had time for me over the years. However, a few months ago, I decided it was time to start prioritising my health and wellbeing. I’ve never been a gym bunny but I’m aware of all the benefits of strength and resistance training and I wanted to become stronger. That was my main goal. So I decided to give BCB a try. Always one to fully commit to something when I make my mind up, I signed up to the gold membership and met my coach, Jack Tait. I must admit, the prospect of PT sessions 3 times per week was a little daunting. However, 6 weeks in and the beneficial impact on my life and wellbeing has already been huge. Jack is fantastic and he knows exactly how to challenge me and get results. I look forward to every session. I even find myself in the gym when I don’t have a session! The improvement in my sleep quality and energy levels is fantastic. I’ve tweaked my nutrition following guidance on the macros I now need and I eat better and more than ever before. The body scans I get as part of gold membership have confirmed loss of fat mass and gain of muscle mass in greater amounts than I could have hoped in just a few weeks. Clothes I’d relegated to the back of the wardrobe fit again and I feel stronger. I couldn’t recommend BCB and Jack enough. I just wish I’d joined sooner!
Fantastic experience: I started on a silver program in July and I was a complete beginner. My coach Jack made me feel really comfortable and alongside the progress that he has supported me to make physically, I also now feel confident to train alone too, something I was really apprehensive about. So I have had a really positive experience, being supported every session and pushed 'in a good way' to keep progressing, thanks to Jack. The environment and staff are really friendly and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BCB to anyone thinking about signing up.
Fantastic experience: BCB is a friendly, welcoming, well equipped gym with great staff and members. I’d never set foot in a gym until 3 months ago and was anxious about joining but was made to feel safe and supported immediately. There’s always a friendly face and someone nearby to help. My coach, Jack Tait, is the perfect balance of supportive and encouraging and I feel like I’ve made great progress already. He takes into account my goals and other training when writing my training plan and is flexible around my shifts when arranging coaching sessions. I’m glad I chose BCB for the excellent coaching and friendly environment to continue my journey towards strength and longevity ☺️
Fantastic experience: Showed up to BCB fairly early in my fitness journey, and have since found it improve. Staff are friendly and straight forward - never once have I felt lost, confused or frustrated with them. Other gym-goers are friendly, and I have yet to encounter a problem with them either. Equipment is solid; lots of free weights and even when its busy, I rarely find myself needing to wait on or skip my next excercise until its freed up. Though it could stand to maybe be a little bit cleaner; barbells especially, but its by no means off-putting levels of bad.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave this review! So glad to hear that you’ve felt right at home on your fitness journey with us—our team and members are all about that friendly and supportive vibe. Appreciate the shoutout on the equipment too, and we hear you on the cleanliness feedback! We're always looking to improve, and we’ll definitely take that on board, especially when it comes to the barbells.Thanks again for the feedback, and we’re excited to keep helping you smash those fitness goals!Cheers,Lewis & the BCB Team
Fantastic experience: I joined black country barbell 2 months ago never really doing weight training before and it was the best thing I ever did. I was really nervous but my trainer Jack is so fantastic he put me at ease straight away and I hve gone from strength to strength I get such a fantastic feeling after working out. I would 100 % recommend Jack he is a fantastic trainer and thankyou to Lewis for providing a fantastic gym and wonderful atmosphere to enjoy lifting weights for the first time .
Hey April,Thank you so much for this! We're absolutely buzzing to hear that joining BCB has been such a positive step for you, especially since it was your first go at weight training. Jack's top-notch at making everyone feel comfortable, so it's great to hear he's helped you find your stride and go from strength to strength. It's awesome to know you're loving the vibe here too – we work hard to create an atmosphere where everyone feels good about training, so this means a lot.Keep smashing it, and we’ll see you in the gym!Cheers,Lewis & the BCB Team
Fantastic experience: Great Gym! I signed up for initially for 12 weeks after a consultation with Lewis. This included coaching sessions, training schedules and a whole host of support. I’m currently 7 weeks into my programme and so far I can’t fault anything. I have lost body fat and gained lean muscle. My personal coach James keeps my schedules varied and our one to one sessions push me to my limits. The gym itself is great, functional and designed for purpose. The other members are friendly and always happy to help out if I get stuck. I would highly recommend Black Country Barbell for anyone who’s serious about training.
Thanks for the awesome review! We're thrilled you're loving your 12-week program and seeing great results. Big props to James as he is a great PT.Glad you find the gym functional and the community welcoming. Thanks for the recommendation—keep crushing it!Cheers,The Black Country Barbell Team
Fantastic experience: Half way through a 12 week programme with Jack and couldn’t recommend this gym enough. Great choice of equipment and great atmosphere in comparison to other gyms. Even during peak times you can get your workout done no problem. It’s also the only gym where forgetting your headphones doesn’t hurt your soul. Always has tunes on blast!
Thank you so much for your stellar review, Lucie! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience with the 12 week programme with Jack and are happy with the gym environment. Keep jamming to our tunes and continue enjoying your workouts!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a great experience at Barbell. I met Lewis for my initial consultation after seeing his advert on Facebook. Lewis was great and put me in touch with my personal trainer Abi. Abi has been fantastic, supporting me through my journey in becoming fitter and healthier, learning about the equipment and nutrition and setting up a program for my needs which is reviewed as I progress. Abi is friendly, helpful, informative and flexible. Most of all I’m enjoying going to the gym and completing my workout. The gym has a lovely atmosphere and the team are always on hand to help.
Hi Jennifer, I'm so glad you are pleased with your results and the experience in the gym. You have done so well and work very hard! I knew Abi would be the perfect fit for you, making sure you are matched up with the right personal trainer is half the battle. Like you said, Enjoying your health and fitness journey is the most important part!
Fantastic experience: Joining BCB is one of the best decisions I've made for my physical and mental health. I started on the bronze package and am still having PT sessions with Abi many months later. Abi is everything you want in a coach. She supports, encourages, listens, adapts, pushes and knows my capabilities better than I do. The gym atmosphere is great. The staff, coaches and members are friendly, supportive and approachable. A real community.
Thanks for the awesome review!We're so glad joining BCB has been great for your physical and mental health. Abi is amazing, isn't she? We're happy she's making a difference for you.It's awesome that you love the gym vibe and feel part of our friendly, supportive community.Keep crushing it!Cheers,The Black Country Barbell Team
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to. I've always been a sucker for signing up to a gym and not lasting more than a couple of months. Abi (my coach) has completely changed my attitude towards the gym and has helped me shift my focus to feeling healthier and stronger rather than just what's happening in the mirror. She pushes hard but not hard enough to make you never want to come back plus her sense of humour is There is nothing about this gym that is intimidating, despite me thinking it was from the outside! Everyone is on their own journey and everyone is there to help. Great gym, great coaches. 10/10 from me
Hey Slaine!This review made our day! We’re so glad to hear Abi’s coaching has made such a positive impact on your fitness journey (and kept you coming back for more ). It’s awesome to see you focusing on feeling healthier and stronger—exactly what we aim for! You nailed it too: everyone’s on their own journey, and we're just here to help make it the best one possible. Thanks for the 10/10!Catch you at your next session! Cheers,Lewis & The BCB Team
Fantastic experience: From a total beginner- this looks an intimidating space, but it’s quite the opposite! You’re made to feel welcome whatever your fitness level. I’ve been having PT sessions with Abi which are tailored to you. She’s amazing ! Her nutritional advice has been super helpful too. I’m pleased my results following my initial 12 week. Would highly recommend.
Thanks for the review, everyone thinks we look scary until they come in for the first time. I think its great that you pointed out that your started as a total beginner ( as a lot of our members are). Your results in the gym have been brilliant too, keep up the good work Sarah!
Fantastic experience: A gem of a gym located in the heart of Stourbridge! Members and staff are always polite and friendly. The lower lighting around the building is wonderful especially as someone who is neurodivergent. Bright lights in gyms are a no no for myself. The music is always awesome to work out too, and you can add to the playlist! Genuine high quality equipment with plenty of racks available. I have never had to wait for a piece of equipment to come available! If I wasn't moving abroad I would be staying at this gym as it was always a pleasure to work out in!
Thanks so much for the kind words! We're really happy to hear you felt at home here with the vibe, music, and lighting—especially knowing how important that is for you. Glad the equipment was always free when you needed it and that you could add your tunes to the playlist!We'll miss having you around, but best of luck with the move abroad! Pop in and say hey if you're ever back in town!Cheers,The BCB Team

Thank you for your positive feedback, Dee! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our facilities, equipment, and staff. We strive to provide a friendly and professional environment for all our members.
Fantastic experience: I have been on a bronze personal training programme for 12 weeks at BCBB, and can honestly say, it’s the most comfortable I have felt in a gym, and I have used a lot. Iain my PT, has encouraged me to push myself while taking into consideration my fairly damaged knees and a shoulder injury. Having an app that Iain logs my training on is really useful and encouraging when working alone in the gym. Overall it’s a great gym, really friendly staff and members. Haven’t felt intimidated once, and with so much equipment and I’ve never once had to hang around. I really recommend BCBB and will definitely be staying
Thanks a ton for the awesome review! We're super happy to hear that you’ve been loving your time at BCB and that the bronze personal training program has been a good fit for you. Iain's great at helping people push their limits while being mindful of injuries.Glad to hear the app is working out for you too! It's awesome to know you never feel intimidated and always find the equipment you need.We’re stoked to have you with us and can’t wait to keep supporting you on your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Great getting back in the gym and feeling the natural buzz come back as I make progress again. Big thanks to PT Jack on tailoring my routine and plan, especially when I pick up the odd old injury from sport. BCB is a perfect gym for me and my goals and the right amount of support from Jack to listen and push me when I need it.

Fantastic experience: Can't fault this gym or the staff. The gym is well equipt and never too busy, so there is never a struggle for equipment. The members of staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, making for a nice environment to work out in, this helped with consistency and motivation which I found particularly hard before coming here. Over my short time hoing there i have seen great improvement in my health from growing more muscle to having better mobility in joints. The price of this gym is higher than other gyms but is completely worth evey penny for what you get and can achieve here.

Fantastic experience: Joining BCB gym has probably been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I'm in my 50's (the latter half of it!) with no real experience of strength training, but I had read about the age-related benefits it could bring to counter muscle mass loss and help build bone density. So I thought if I'm going take this up then I'm going to need to find a quality gym that caters for all levels of trainer containing coaches that specialise in a diverse client base. After an informal chat with Lewis at BCB I knew that this gym would be the best place for me to begin my strength training journey... I've just come to the end of the 12 week Silver training program with my coach, Iain, who has provided me with immense motivation and knowledge during the individually personalised sessions (3 per week). Although I consider this as just the start of my strength training journey I have noticed measurable benefits, both physically and with improvement in my mood. I'm learning a great deal from Iain and Lewis, and from others at the gym. I'm discovering the types of exercises and work out routines that suit me best, and understanding how the variation of techniques and session schedules can enable me to adapt my training as I progress each week. I also enjoy the continous learning experience gained from feedback during coached sessions and reviews of my individual training session. Lewis and his team have created a very inclusive and welcoming community environment at the gym where there is a diverse mix of beginner and experienced members. I look forward to every training session and strength training has now become an important part of my life!

Hi James, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're so happy to hear about your positive time with us at Black Country Barbell and the atmosphere we've created to allow you to get your training done without being overwhelmed with people.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to restart my fitness journey after several years of excuses and neglect and found these guys online and booked a consultation with Lewis. After an honest and open chat about my goals and lots of questions answered, I felt this was the right place for me, where the people and the business genuinely care about you achieving your goals by understanding you and your situation. After my consultation, I was paired up with a PT named James who understood what I wanted to achieve and supported me in a style that suited me. On first entering the gym I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse mixture of the other gym goers, those who are regaining skills, just starting out or training to compete. What was clear was clear was BCB Gym is a place people feel comfortable to come and improve themselves in a judgement free environment. Facilities are fit for purpose, lots of parking nearby and very open and honest fee structure. There is also regular and relevant contact and support out of hours. Highly recommend to anyone, whatever stage they are at in their training/fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: As an older female I think this is a great gym because: I feel safe. No one judges you. The staff are all friendly & helpful. They regularly check in to make sure you’re doing well & if they can be if further help. They patiently answer questions when I forget what they said the last time I asked, (how heavy is the wibblywobbly bar..?)! It’s clean and tidy. Toilets are always spotless. Excellent variety of equipment. There’s a good variety of music & you can change it if they play that hideous dancey stuff! I fully recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I recently just finished a 12 week coaching package at BCB with Connor and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Having this be the first time joining a gym to lifting weights I couldn't imagine ever doing , I have really enjoyed the process of exercising, which I have found has helped my mental health and overall mood each week. The owner Lewis is so friendly and welcoming, he checks in regularly to see how training is going or if I have any questions regarding anything. All the staff are so welcoming each time I come and go and are very helpful with anything no matter how small it may seem. Connor is an amazing coach and his passion and knowledge of weightlifting really shows through his support he gives in his coaching. He is so patient and is always happy to explain key info in great detail, as well as give clear feedback on weekly updates, monthly goals and on overall working out techniques. My training plan was specifically tailored for me and focused on key areas that needed strengthening. I saw such progress each week and having a coach really pushed me to get out my comfort zone, become more confident and independent with lifting heavier. The support throughout my training really helped build my confidence and I always leave the gym feeling happy and motivated. I definitely recommend Black Country Barbell to anyone and thank them for all their support.

Fantastic experience: Its been years since ive been in a Gym properly, i am always anxious, needless to say Lewis and his team have shown me the ways and are always approachable with questions. with my plan they are tracking my progress and not only can i see improvements but ive had a few notice ive got some gains! I know from personal experience that from the outside it can look like you "wont fit in" or "its full of muscle guys", but trust me there just as normal (or weird) as the rest of us! there`s young, not so young, big members, little members, members with disabilities, larger members, people from literally all our walks of life!

Fantastic experience: This gym is definitely the place to workout if you are seriously wanting to improve your fitness and get totally toned up. It has a good mix of weights and other equipment, and the BCB team are a great bunch of people. There is a pleasant atmosphere and fellow members are a pleasant bunch of people too. Black Country Barbell takes etiquette seriously regarding respect towards fellow members and staff, replacing weights and other equipment after use, and the gym is well maintained. Definitely the best gym I have so far visited/joined in the West Midlands region to date...

Fantastic experience: I am currently half-way through a bronze package with Sean as my PT. I am really enjoying the training and support through the process; and I am feeling motivated. I have had several gym memberships over the years with little results due to a limited knowledge of routine and equipment. Also, I find having a trainer makes me push more, gives me confidence to try new things and keep to the plan. The gym itself, I find great. I live fairly local and walk into town. It’s really well equipped and having loads of the squat type racks means I have never had to wait around to get my plans completed. Staff in here are excellent and friendly, just like the overall vibe of the gym.
Hey Danny,Thank you for sharing your awesome 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you're halfway through your bronze package with Sean as your coach and that you're enjoying the training and support you're receiving.It's fantastic to hear that having a trainer like Sean has made a positive difference for you. Pushing yourself, trying new things, and sticking to the plan can be tough, but having that extra support and motivation can make all the difference!And of course, we're thrilled to hear that you find our staff excellent and friendly – creating a positive vibe is what we're all about!Thanks again for choosing our gym, Danny! We're here to support you every step of the way on your fitness journey.Keep smashing those goals!Cheers,The Black Country Barbell Team

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I have ever been to. I’ve recently finished a coaching package with Iain and it is the best decision I have ever made. Lewis did an amazing and thorough job in pairing me with Iain and I couldn’t be more grateful. As an autistic person with severe social anxiety issues, they could not have made me feel more welcome, especially now I am on a regular membership starting my training journey without a PT. Every other time I have been to the gym it has felt like a fad, this place feels like home.

Fantastic experience: Just finishing the Bronze, 3 month package with BCB. Absolutely fantastic, thoroughly enjoying it. The staff are brilliant, always on hand, even for just a bit of advice (Usually when I need to check something re a machine). Sean, who has been training me once a week has been especially instrumental. I'll continue for a few months remotely - Everything is tailored via an app at least the week before, so you'll know what to do. I must stress, I had zero knowledge of the inside of a gym before I joined. I can't fault the process of introducing someone new to it. Many Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around by a country mile. Connor Oates is an amazing trainer, who, unlike most personal trainers, understands the human body and believes that personal training is not just about hammering you for an hour. I have worked with various trainers over the years, and have ended up with significant injuries caused by the lack of understanding of the human body and the effect of stupid exercises. The equipment in the gym is fantastic and unlike many gyms, there are no cross trainers or treadmills. Just in case you think I am 21 and full of testosterone-I am 72 and had cancer twice.

Fantastic experience: @black_country_barbell is one of the best gyms that I've had the privilege to train at. The UK needs more gyms like that!! Epic layout, all the equipment for serious lifters, good vibes etc and supplements on tap. Music wise? They had a mixture of dubstep, hip hop and metal blasting. 10/10 I will be back #lifting #barbell #weights #strength #powerbuilding #strengthsports #gym #blackcountrybarbell #weightlifting #powerlifting #bodybuilding

I have not tried weight training before , and wouldnt have had the confidence to do this on my own , but Abi has been absolutely brilliant at explaining , showing me , and giving me the confidence to start proper weight training . I have been coming now for 6 weeks , and i can feel such a difference in my body . I am feeling stronger and more confident in what my body is capable of . Now I have started , I am absolutely not stopping . Everyone at the gym is friendly and helpful , its a relaxed atmosphere , and so near to the 2 hours free parking at tesco . I look forward to my training with Abi every time , and feel great afterwards , like I have really achieved something . Abi is a nutrionalist as well , and is coaching me in my nutrition , which is a large part of fitness I can actually see some glimmers of muscle already I 100% recomend Black Country Barbell . Claire

Fantastic experience: I have quite a physical job and had too many aches and pains for my age so wanted to do something about my upper body strength, tone and also challenge myself mentally as well as physically. I signed up for the Bronze Package PT coaching. I was clear in my no obligation consultation that I wasn't intending on getting "beach body" ready. I wanted to start a fitness programme that was going to be sustainable in improving my health and well-being in the short term but more importantly in the long term, especially as a female as I've come to understand the benefits of weight training for dealing with the impacts of menopause on the body so I wanted to be proactive! Abi is a brilliant coach, no question is small or stupid I never thought i would be able to lift weights but I'm doing it with Abi's encouragement, Ive also been given homework that i can do at home with resistance bands when i can't make it into the gym! Yes I'm not going to become world's strongest women but I feel so much better for doing it. It's made me think more about my posture and how I lift heavy weight even around the house. I would definitely recommend black Country Barbell, it's great to support a local business rather than a chain gym. It's friendly. Well equipped and clean. The tunes are amazing, from Queens of the Stone Age to Vengaboys to keep you motivated what is not to love?! Im glad to be building a stronger body at BCB♀️

Fantastic experience: I love this gym ❤️ the owners Lewis and Emma are amazing. Sean is fantastic. I have visited alot of gyms in this area over the years. But this place gets me results and feels like home. Nobody is judgemental. Alot of my friends say "I couldn't go somewhere like that". Believing that they wouldn't fit in. But people of all shapes and sizes from all walks of life are here. All of them are welcoming and friendly

Fantastic experience: I'm half way through a 12 week programme and I have a great coach called Connor! I'm in my early 40s and never thought I would be a member of a gym like this. I'm making strength gains week on week and my confidence is back. I got a great feel for the place from the online reviews and the gym tour with Guy. Before signing up for the programme the owner (Lewis) wanted to ensure he found out more about me and my goals. We covered so much ground in that meeting (e.g. hormones and mental health) things that I wouldn't have expected a gym to focus on. This is definitely not a sign up and forget about you type of place. This is the gym for the people that don't like gyms!
Thank you so much for leaving an amazing 5-star review of our gym! We are so happy to hear that you have a great coach, Connor, who is helping you make strength gains and regain your confidence and you're only halfway through your 12-week programme!At our gym, we take pride in offering a personalised approach to fitness that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Fantastic experience: First off, let me say I love this unique and awesome gym!!! I have been to many different gyms all over the region and never felt so at home and comfortable in any others like I have at Black Country Barbell. The whole vibe is welcoming, including fellow customers, coaches and staff. I joined over a year ago now and I can't imagine going anywhere else in the town or around here to be honest. The place is spotless, clean and tidy. The kit is quality and I can always get on the equipment in need. If you're serious about lifting you'll love this place, BUT if you don't have a clue like I didn't until I joined BCB then THIS is definitely your place to start. I soon learnt about how to squat, deadlift and bench properly without feeling stupid for not knowing after going to gyms for so long. I had always just stuck to the cardio machines. Now, having started my lifting journey at BCB I feel like I want to be there training instead of dreading the monotony of your other usual high street gyms. Well done BCB and thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you love our gym and feel comfortable and at home while working out here.

We're honored to be your gym of choice and we can't wait to continue helping you on your fitness journey.Thank you for your support and for being part of our community!Kind regards - The friendliest gym in Stourbridge
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for two years now and came as a complete novice. I started having coaching sessions and have slowly moved to training with an app which my coach uploads my programme onto. The support and friendliness of everyone at the gym makes training more enjoyable. The staff will help out with any training questions or spotting so you can achieve new PBs!! My only wish is that I’d started training sooner rather than wait until I was 50!!
Hey Fiona, Thank you so much for leaving us a brilliant 5-star review! We're so happy that you've been training with us for two years, you're such a positive presence in the gym.

It's never too late to start on a fitness journey, and we're so glad you're with us now. Here's to achieving new milestones together!
Fantastic experience: BCB is a brilliant gym with a fantastic & friendly management team and a top notch set of coaches. I've walked past BCB gym many times on my way to the pub and occasionally been intimidated by sounds of clashing metal weights hitting the ground. I never imagined I'd end up training there 3 times a week and actually enjoy it so much that I'd go before work at 7am ! My wife joined first and after 3 months doing a training program with a coach her fitness improved and her enthusiasm was so contagious that myself and my son joined too. 3 months later we are all regulars and we feel healthier than we have for years. If you've not weight trained before I highly recommend signing up to their personal coaching program. you'll be assigned a coach (personal trainer) who'll teach you the basics and get you up to speed asap. My coach (Iain) has been fantastic and in 3 months I've noticed a difference to both my health and physique. In our 1hour weekly sessions he managed to teach me a lot of his extensive knowledge, from the basics of weight training, to the best techniques to maximise my training gains. He also set me a program to follow on the other 2 days a week when I train on my own. I'm very impressed with the progress I've made under Iain's guidance and would not have made those gains without his knowledgeable coaching BCB Gym is very well run and managed, it's clean and in no way as intimidating as it might look from the outside. If you want to improve your physical and mental health I recommend weight training, and highly recommend BCB Gym and its coaching program. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Fantastic experience: I joined Black Country Barbell after stalking them on insta for a few months and, even though I don’t live locally, I couldn’t join any other gym. They’re very well equipped, with knowledgeable and helpful coaches, great atmosphere. Offering attractive events. I’ve been training with Abi for a few months now. She’s a fantastic coach, she’s got a great balance of motivation and compassion, and creativity. Couldn’t recommend Abi and BCB more.

Fantastic experience: Becoming a member of Black Country Barbell has changed my life! I joined because I was feeling miserable about myself and my body, had many various health issues and never took any time for myself. I was a complete novice and was anxious about joining, but it's such a welcoming gym, with really helpful and friendly staff and fantastic equipment. I now look forward to going to the gym and if I'm "too busy", I will work out a better time to go rather than give up. I am on a bronze package so have a PT session once a week. I'm still struggling with past injuries, but Abi has been amazing, changing my workouts to suit me so I don't injure myself further. She's really listened to everything and I love my workouts. She pushes me, but only because she knows I am capable of it, which is great for someone like me, who has easily given up when things get too much. She is really supportive and encouraging and I am learning so much from her. I also love getting emails from Lewis and the team with info on nutrition, health and fitness, as well as just checking everything is OK. I feel happier and stronger, both physically and mentally. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Fantastic experience: The gym itself is brilliantly stocked with equipment to address all your training needs, but where it stands apart is the friendliness and expertise of the staff.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant gym! Staff are fab, really friendly. Loads of equipment and really clean. Such a great community feel to the members, I was really nervous first time I went as it was the first time I'd been in a gym for several year since before my little one was born, once I'd been a couple of times I was relaxed and now I don't feel nervous at all.

Fantastic experience: I’m just about to complete my first 12 week programme with Black Country Barbell and my coach Connor. Not only am I 8.6kg down, 10cm off my waist and feeling great, I’m stronger, more confident and the best part, I love going to the gym now. Connor is amazing and has really taken the time to show me good techniques, safe exercise programming and we talk nutrition. He’s truly interested in how I’m feeling and getting on. I’m looking forward to the next few months and more progress. I’ve already had to buy smaller trousers for work I highly recommend joining if you’re on the fence, and if you’re not, check it out! Thanks Team!
Wow, congrats on almost finishing your first 12-week program with Black Country Barbell and Coach Connor! That's seriously impressive! It's awesome to hear that you've shed 8.6kg and 10cm off your waist—talk about incredible progress! But it's not just about the numbers. You're feeling great, stronger, and more confident, which is amazing.The best part is that you now actually enjoy going to the gym! That's a game-changer right there. Kudos to Connor for being an amazing coach who took the time to teach you proper techniques, design safe exercise programs, and chat about nutrition. It's awesome when someone genuinely cares about your progress and well-being.
Fantastic experience: I started my journey with BCB in August this year, the atmosphere in this gym is amazing, so different to other gyms. I love how everyone is so friendly, talkative and willing to help if needed. I need to give credit to my Coach Sean, he has been my gym rock, he is really knowledgeable, he listens when I want to work on a specific area and generally an all round lovely guy to work out with and I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without his support. you guys are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the greatest gym I’ve ever been too. After having a total hip replacement, I needed a gym where I felt comfortable and safe. I have Abby as my coach, who tailors my goals precisely with the ultimate safety and care. It’s a fabulous gym, with all the facilities you need to train amongst friendly members and staff. My Daughter is now a member and my Son is signing up too. Best Gym ever. Thankyou so much lucky to have you so close. x
