Warhorse Barbell Club

"After a year at Warhorse Barbell Club, I can confidently say it's been the perfect place to regain my strength and fitness. Having gained some weight and feeling generally weaker due to the pandemic and lack of exercise, I was a bit hesitant to jump back into a gym setting. However, the coaches at Warhorse, especially Ahmad, Caolan, and Jeff, were incredibly supportive and understanding. They helped me create a personalized program that addressed my specific needs and goals, and their guidance and encouragement have been invaluable. I've seen significant improvements in my strength and overall fitness, and the positive, encouraging atmosphere makes working out a truly enjoyable experience. TLDR: A year in, and Warhorse Barbell Club has exceeded my expectations with top-notch coaching, personalized programs, great results, and a fantastic gym environment - highly recommend!"

"Warhorse Barbell Club is a gym for everybody. As somebody who has been going to gyms and part of athletic teams for most of my life, I have never been to a gym that is so welcoming, where the staff and owners genuinely care about their members, and where the sense of community is so strong. While there are many amazing things about Warhorse Barbell Club, I think the single best thing is how inclusive it is. The members range from people who have never touched a weight before to veteran lifters and everywhere in between. What constantly impresses me is that the needs of all of these members are met. The staff members take meticulous care to ensure that all members have balanced training programs that are appropriate for their individual goals, they are constantly providing friendly and encouraging feedback on exercise form and weight recommendations to the members so we can push ourselves physically while also decreasing risk for injury, and they truly cultivate an environment where the staff and members feel a sense of community. Again, I don’t think there is a better gym in Philadelphia (if not the entire state) for anybody who is looking for a way to build confidence, find community, and develop a love for fitness that will serve them for life."

"Joining Warhorse around six months ago has truly been a game-changer for my health. Whether you're a novice lifter, getting back into the groove, or an experienced powerlifter, the coaches here craft personalized plans to help you achieve your goals. Not only are the coaches highly experienced, but they also make every gym session enjoyable. I want to give a special shoutout to Caolan, who welcomed me into this community and has been an incredible mentor, teaching me so much along the way!"

"Hands down the best gym I've ever been to. I've belonged to several gyms over the years and was never able to create or stick to a workout routine at any of them. I either just showed up and wandered around lost, or more often the case, didn't show up and paid my monthly fee in seeming perpetuity. This gym is different. Each session is small so that you get individualized attention from the trainers, who are all are friendly and encouraging. They will make sure that your form is correct and provide any modifications you need so that you don't get hurt. They also make sure that you are properly challenging yourself so that you progress towards your strength goals. I've been coming for 8 months and I am the strongest I have ever been. I never thought I would look forward to working out or make it a priority. Warhorse changed that! I highly recommend checking them out whether you're new to strength training or not."

"I've been a member at Warhorse over a year and can't recommend it strongly enough. Everything from the staff to the programming to the equipment to the member community is top class, far and away the best fitness experience of my life. The staff provides each member with a program that's customized to their specific goals, and then with excellent coaching during each session to ensure both that proper and safe technique is applied and that you're pushing yourself to progressively build on those goals. At the Northern Liberties location I work primarily with Ahmad, Jeff, and Caolan, and they're all absolutely elite. Not only do they each have top notch technical knowledge of their craft, they're also just great characters who radiate positivity in their coaching and are fun to be around. In my opinion, Warhorse is tremendous value for money and not something that I've seen replicated in other places. Jaclyn and Chris have built something really special and I'm grateful to be a part of it!"
