This is my go-to gym when visiting the Roswell area. The equipment is plentiful and well maintained, owner/coach Calahan is supportive and friendly (I haven't met Anna yet), and the fellow gym-goers create a very positive environment.They are very welcoming of drop-ins and go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Gyms like these are becoming harder & harder to find these days, so any time I'm in the area I always make it a point to stop in here. The owner Callahan has a great space and is super nice & approachable. This gym is a no-nonsense space to train and a great place to lift!

I have been calling and calling this business with no return or email or anything. I only had a few simple questions about the facility but it seems no one is doing their job. Who would want to join a gym that fails to answer a simple phone call? What happens in case of emergencies? I think I’ll take my chances elsewhere.

I walked into this gym for the first time back in April 2022 because I wanted to fix my back, which would just go out on its own - you know, I have one of those desk jobs, always sitting - everything was tight and out of balance. At 54+, I still have a long way to go and I know too many folks that think back surgery and pills are the answer - that's just not me. I asked Callahan and Anna to "fix" me, and that I wanted to learn how to squat and deadlift PROPERLY. I took some private lessons, had Callahan draft up a program, and I began to train and work myself into the gym and its professional, welcoming, and friendly culture. Almost a year later now and I am stronger than ever before, and much safer in comparison to my CrossFit days. Back pain is a distant memory and I'm more focused these days on proper execution. I've gone from just barely being able to support 185 lbs. across my back on spindly legs to squatting just under 350 lbs., and SAFELY. I can't even begin to describe what a gift this is. I wasn't planning on it, it just happened with Callahan and Anna's support, and just as importantly support from the other members of the gym, that and commitment. This place is awesome and addicting! If you have kids you love and want the best for them, you send them here. If you want to compete, you come here. If you're middle-aged and in a rut, you come here. If you're old and do not want to leave this world falling down, breaking a hip, going to the hospital, and having them fast-track your exit from this world, you come here. And, important note, DO NOT let Callahan catch you staring at your cell phone while sitting on his gym equipment. You want health, strength and longevity, you come here. You want selfies? Go someplace else and lovingly stare into the mirror at yourself - good luck with that.Jim

Best gym I've lifted at. The energy there is incredible, even when I don't have the energy to lift I still get a good workout. Owners are super nice, everyone I've interacted with in the gym itself have been great. Definitely recommend checking them out.

One of the best gyms I have been to! Roswell Barbell has literally every single piece of equipment you need for powerlifting, strongman, bodybuilding, whatever you want to do. They have safety squat bars, Buffalo bars, power bars, deadlift bars, atlas stones, sleds, prowlers…you get my point. Everything you need for anything strength or hypertrophy related. Talk to Callahan or Anna and they will hook you up! I live out of town but always train here when back in town. Awesome environment and extremely fair pricing

You have lots of choices of traditional gyms in the area. They all suffer from the same issue: corporately-run, sales-oriented operations coupled with decades-old body-image shaming favored by the health industry and terrible client culture. This is the solution if you're looking to add lean muscle mass, enjoy getting to know other gym members and like the daily involvement of a knowledgeable, fun, and dedicated owner. And for women who are intimidated by lifting and strength training, this is your breakthrough solution because many of the women members are seasoned competitive lifters of all ages. To be clear, you're not going to find a room full of cardio machines or a schedule of yoga classes. Roswell Barbell is focused on building strength and has all the equipment you need to accomplish this goal. Despite its small size, there's plenty of equipment to use. I've been going for six months, starting as a white collar novice lifter who had never used a barbell in his life and didn't understand how chalk was used. The team here has supported my training, taught me the skills, and made it fun, healthy, and respectful. Now, I spend 3-4 days a week lifting heavy things, challenging my body to get stronger, and learning from some of the best athletes. I leave chalky and exhausted, and motivated to come back again. Strength training is one component of health and gyms like Roswell Barbell are exactly what people need, not the terrible big box gyms full of corporate salespeople and terribly unhealthy messaging.

I am a woman in my 50's and this was the best decision ever. They are friendly and very helpful. They are serious about helping you with your goals. Both Anna and Callahan are extremely knowledgeable and will meet you where you are physically and push you to next level.

Has all the equipment you will ever need in a gym . No fake weights . Trainers always available , super friendly staff and always willing to help you in anyway they can with your workout or advice. Also never really a super busy time . So all the machines and workout areas are always open
