Stopped in a few times while in town. Always such a great place to train. Wonderful atmosphere and very well equipped. Jean is the sweetest and always makes you feel so welcome.

Love this small family owned and operated gym. The equipment is a bit on the older side, but there is a wide selection of machines, racks, plates, benches, bars, dumbells, and accessories to choose from. They even have giant truck tires outside for flipping, farmer walks, etc. Wide range of clientele, from younger folks and regular guys like myself, to serious power lifters.The friendly atmosphere and great people who run this place make it truly special. Ms. Jean (owner) and Tom have made my family and I feel welcome from Day 1. Highly recommended.

My husband and I were in town to see family and worked out here for a week. They gave us a great rate for the week and the staff was helpful and friendly! They also had all the equipment we needed. There was no AC, but that didnt bother us too much. We will be coming back for future visits.

I was blown away with the team sportsmenship and uplifting and understanding atmosphere. When I arrived I everyone was welcoming but you could tell by the feel of the room that you around very experienced personal. After 30 minutes of pure shock of how strong the members of Marietta barbell are and also how clean functional the gym was I was induced to want real functional lifting looks like. I love lifting weights but some the machines I had never seen before, each member was quick to explain how and what it worked. Let me put it this way I will be going again. To all the members of this gym thank you for one of the best gym days I had in years it was worth the six hour drive to me. A side note the World Champion is still the beast of iron realm.

This is such a great gym. From the first time I walked into here, Mrs. Jean was one of the friendliest people I had ever talked to. Everyone is eager to help and will give newcomers a hand. As far as the actual gym, its mainly for powerlifting, but theres no reason why it isnt also a great bodybuilding gym. There are tons of great machines on top of the wide selection of barbells, and theres no shortage of plates. Only con is that it can get a little hot. Otherwise, 10/10.

Due to COVID hotel gyms are closed so I needed a place to workout during a week long business trip. I’ve been going to gyms for 25yrs and this one is one of the best ones if you’re a dedicated hardcore weight lifter. Weight equipment is solid, numerous, and have a great staff that’s knowledgeable and will take care of you. Don’t come here expecting to do lots of cardio as that equipment is limited.

Came here on vacation during my powerlifting meet prep, and I have to say it is one of my favourite gyms I’ve ever been to. Perfectly combines the old school gym atmosphere with top notch powerlifting equipment. The music that’s played here carries the same feel and I barely caught myself with my headphones in here. The owners are very nice, helpful and hospitable to all members. Wonderful place to come in and get some work done.

Well equipped. Heres my story and some constructive criticism.As a new guy, the second time I went, I parked across the street because the gym side was full. In the lot across the street, spaces along the office building are marked as exclusive parking to that business, but there are no signs for the ones along the bushes. On my departure, the gym owners wife came out very upset, informing me that I can only park there after 4:30. Said she told me before, but I really dont think so. My bad, wont do it again.The 3rd or 4th visit, I asked for a pen from the office and grabbed one of the two from the sign-in sheet, as well as a business card, to log my lifting. This resulted in a talking to about how business cards are expensive and the issue of people not signing in if theres no pen, even though I wouldnt have taken the pen if there was only one.On my most recent visit, I was deadlifting with bumpers in the Olympic room. This is bad. My first day there I had asked about a sign that says absolutely no deadlifting..(etc) because she said bumpers are okay- not steel plates, and bars are marked for no deadlifting in the Olympic room. I had also seen other folks do clean and jerks etc and asked specifically if DLs are okay with bumpers, and they thought it was fine. The room is full of Olympic lifting stations, after all.Soo, my most recent time I was in there deadlifting with bumpers by myself and she showed up very upset, asking if I was deadlifting. Saying she cant trust me, and that kids built the lifting platforms so they cant hold up to dropped weights. I had deadlifted in that room every single time with no issue until then. Looked to me like she was about to cry.This all has made be feel pretty dumb. I like the other guys that work out there and have tried of be respectful of the gym and the folks. I unfortunately wont be coming back because of my experience.. the drama is stressful, even though Im typically pretty zen. Please type the rules on a piece of paper and go through them all on the first visit.

Lots of great training equipment, supportive and friendly (and really strong) community. Literally a mom ‘n’ pop business deserving all your support!

The gym owner gave me a tour of the gym here today. The gym is probably the cleanest and most functional strength place north of the perimeter. I think champions are created here. On a diferenent note, the gym owner is a very nice person and even recommended me to a competing gym in the area once I explained my goals to her. She is probably the nicest person I have ever spoken to in Atlanta. The members here have it nice! Seems like one big family!

Love it!! Been there 3 times now. Always feel welcome. Friendly faces, wonderful lifting environment and a very clean gym! 💪👍

Awesome, inviting gym with 24 hour access. Clean equipment, awesome staff!

Family vibe gym, very well taken care of and good diversity of machines available. Helpful people and very friendly. One if not the best gym Ive been in thats for sure.

Awesome place feels like a family has everything you need if you are a westside guy or a powerlifter in general. Some world famous people train here strongmen,Olympians, pro athletes.

This is my regular gym. Im in here 5 times a week and I love it. Very kind staff and other members. They take care of the equipment and really respect the gym and the other patrons. They are also very encouraging and definately help pump you up. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Clean equipment and a nice staff and it’s always clean.

The owners are really nice, easy to work with. The gym is a classic old school style where most of the dudes are more focused on their progress and not noticably gawking at women working out. I appreciate that Im not the only woman here thats actually lifting heavy weight. I like that I can drop the weight when I deadlift and no one complains about it, this is actually a safety measure. I dont want to worry about rounding my back when Im lifing so much weight. Ive had lower back issues in the past so its very satisfying to still be able to lift heavy. It doesnt make sense why some gyms are against this and insist upon a person lowering the weight slowly and quietly towards their last rep when the body has become fatigued: thats a recipe for injury.

Great gym great people! World class strength training and more!

This gym has everything you could imagine for a power lifting and Olympic lifting. The people and owners are very friendly. Theres no contract and the monthly membership is super affordable.

Friendly atmosphere, but it is clear everyone is training hard.

By far, best gym Ive ever been a part of. Big family, great owners, and like someone said before, best gym in Atlanta!

Curtis and Jean are the best! Great gym!

Classic powerlifting gym with world class owners

Best gym you will find in GA!
