West Coast Barbell Club

Fantastic experience: Ben immediately spotted and corrected issues contributing to my shoulder pain and limiting my progression on bench, squats and deadlifts. Could not recommend enough. I'm excited for what's ahead.

Fantastic experience: Having fallen off the fitness band wagon for a few years, Ben has made my start back into weight lifting again very practical and achievable. I had my first session yesterday and it was such a relief to find a trainer who is friendly, non judgemental and so knowledgeable. These traits are also reflected in the gym itself- it's a calm and welcoming space :) Looking forward to training with WCBC!

Fantastic experience: Have been training here with Ben for a few years now - it’s a great little club with an excellent team atmosphere. After lifting weights for many years with little goal or focus I’ve now found both here.

Fantastic experience: Great private facilities, well equipped and a nice atmosphere to train at. It's been difficult to go back to a commercial gym. Ben's taken the intimidating out of powerlifting and has helped me build so much confidence in my lifts. Really happy with Ben's programming and approach to training. Only neg is I wish I had started sooner!

Fantastic experience: We have been training with Ben for over a year and have consistently seen improvements in our strength and wellbeing. We have never trained anywhere quite like Ben’s… the programs are 100% personalised, the facility and equipment is top notch and there’s a genuinely friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment where you would feel at home whether you’re a performance athlete or (like us) just trying to be a bit healthier and stronger. What makes it five star is Ben - we think of him more like family than a coach. If you’re considering a gym where you will see results and feel welcome - this is it.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to West Coast for the last few months and am lifting heavier than I ever have (after hitting a plateau that I couldn't mentally get past for years). Ben has definitely given me the confidence to get there and that has made such a difference ☺️ highly recommend coming here!!

Fantastic experience: Today I had an initial session with coach Ben. This is a place anyone can feel comfortable showing up, with or without any experience. If you’re thinking of getting in shape, don’t hesitate, learn how to move safe right from the get go. I’m a strength coach and reached out to Ben because I wanted to find someone to coach me and a like-minded community. I’m so pleased to have found WCBC: Clean organized space, high quality equipment, small group classes, and capable coaching. I’m looking forward to going to my first actual class tomorrow morning!

Fantastic experience: Ben is super knowledgable and has created a welcoming, supportive environment. As someone who was a bit 'out of practice', I was a little hesitant, but Ben made me feel right at home and at ease. Would definitely recommend, thanks Ben :-)

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Ben at West Coast Barbell Club for around 4 months, after having trained in regular 24/7-type gyms for the better part of 7 years. Ben's scientific approach to programming has allowed me to navigate my strength plateaus and re-establish my knee, hip and ankle mobility post knee reconstruction. Subsequently, I am stronger and move more athletically in my 30s than I did in my 20s. Beyond my strength progression, Ben has cultivated a supportive community of all ages and experience levels that has made training a highlight of my week.

Fantastic experience: Awesome venue with great personalised training for people who are new or for those well experienced. Lots of friendly people

Fantastic experience: An outstanding establishment that truly excels in its field! I've had the privilege of being a member for six months, and without a doubt, each and every session at this gym has been an absolute delight. I am immensely grateful to the coach, whose unwavering dedication and expertise have consistently transformed every workout into an immensely enjoyable experience. My heartfelt thanks go out to the coach for making my fitness journey truly exceptional.

Fantastic experience: If only I could give 10 stars! I am a 56 year old guy and had major surgery on my spinal cord 2 years ago. Thankfully the surgery was a great success and it saved me from being wheelchair bound for the rest of my life. However I was told that from then on I had to take it easy and that exercise would be walking the dog at best. I got referred to Ben at Westcoast Barbell 2 months after my surgery. I went to my first session with little expectation as I could barely move or bend down without a lot of difficulty. However, 12 months later I was deadlifting 120KG and competing in my first amateur strength comp and I am now the strongest I have ever been !! Ben is an intellect and a specialist. He listened and researched my situation carefully and in detail and used all of his experience in rehabilitation and strength training to develop a programme specific to me … and the results speak for themselves. I am so fortunate to have been referred to Ben as he has been transformational in my life. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Paul

Fantastic experience: After my second total knee replacement surgery my physio had advised me to undertake some strength exercises. I sought help from Ben at West Coast Barbell Club some 9 months after the surgery and was encouraged to try out light squats, bench pressing and deadlifting for a start. I never thought I could do squats and deadlifts at my advanced age especially after TKR. However, under Ben's guidance I was able to and since then I feel my overall health and mobility has improved considerably. The twice a week cardio exercise on the freeform cardio air bike at the gym prescribed by Ben has also helped me with my body weight. I highly recommend anyone who has not done squats, deadlifting and bench pressing to try out at West Coast Barbell Club. I like to thank Ben and fellow members for their encouragement.

Fantastic experience: I've had a great time at this gym! Ben is a fantastic coach, very knowledgeable, and makes strength training/powerlifting really accessible. I've developed a lot at this gym - from my strength, technique, but also coming to really enjoy training. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Since I joined WCBC last year, Ben has been an amazing and very knowledgeable coach, he has coached me through 2 competitions both in which he was extremely supportive. The gym provides a great atmosphere and everyone is supportive of each other and always encouraging! I highly recommend WCBC for anyone wanting to start strength training

Fantastic experience: Three weeks in and I feel like I’m being spoiled. What a great community! Great strength and size gain. West Coast Barbell Club doesn’t feel like a conventional gym where you just go in and lift weights. This is a community where members, and coach Ben are genuinely care about each other. Thanks to all the members and Ben, lifting weights there are not intimidating at all, they make lifting accessible to everyone, just like a warm cafe, but with extensive knowledge about powerlifting. Best club in southern hemisphere, if not the best in the world.

Fantastic experience: I first started training power lifting on recommendations from physios and Chiro’s for lower back pain. Benno came highly recommend from friends in the power lifting community. I have since trained at West Coast Barbell Club! Benno has been fantastic and I couldn’t sing his praises high enough. After 6 months of programming with Benno my back has never felt better! He not only has extensive knowledge and experience in powerlifting, he also has the knowledge and common sense to factor in clients with existing injuries. The atmosphere of the gym is also very welcoming and it feels like you are part of the team every session. If you are looking to start powerlifting for strength, rehab or pre-hab…go to West Coast Barbell, it has enhanced the quality of my life dramatically!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend WCBC enough, regardless of your goals. The group is fantastic ranging from those wanting to lift as much as possible, get that 'hot for yacht' summer bod, or just work towards a better quality of life in general! Personally I have managed to add around 150kg's to my Powerlifting total in just over a year and have been guided through each part of the process by Ben; even on comp day! Great people, great place and a great alternative to a 'standard' gym!

Fantastic experience: Signing up to West Coast Bar Bell Club was one of the best decisions I've made. After years of trying to find a gym where I felt at home, comfortable and not like I was in a nightclub (what's with that!) this place has been perfect. Ben has created a lovely community of people who are supportive and from all walks of life. There's no ego here, and I love it! Ben has helped me to rehab a back injury, building my confidence to return to lifting. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has a strong focus on safety and technique. The group sessions work really well. You have the benefit of being around people but your program is tailored and Ben makes sure that he spends a good amount of time with each person. Group training days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This schedule really works because you know that you can't skip a Monday because there isn't a class on Tuesday. It has been one of the best motivators for me to actually go and work out. Can't recommend West Coast Bar Bell Club highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - very friendly and welcoming, Ben is super supportive and encouraging with great advice! Longest I have ever committed to a gym!

Fantastic experience: Ben's coaching and programming gave me exactly what I needed - a solid strength base to stay injury-free while running and more recently playing field hockey. At 30 I was very running-fit, clocking a 22:17 parkrun PB. But after life circumstances prevented me from training for several months it took me a long time to get back into it, and persistent knee niggles and a lack of structured programming meant my training was lacklustre and I wasn't getting anywhere. In early 2021 my husband and I started 2-1 coaching with Ben, and after a few months I transitioned to group coaching 2-3 times/week (combined with 1-3 runs/week). In Aug 21 we took part in a friendly interclub powerlifting comp, at which I squatted 70kg, benched 42.5kg, and deadlifted the magical 100kg (at 57kg bodyweight), all roughly double what I was lifting when starting out. After a break, I did more 2-1 with hubby, then more group coaching, working through some left hamstring strain probably resulting from running too much/too hard after the lifting comp (ego got the better of me going for that 100!). Ben provided lots of encouragement and expert guidance through all of that, and much to my surprise and delight I have been able to play my first season of hockey this winter without anything beyond very minor post-game soreness and a little bit of quad and hamstring strain after going a bit too hard in my first game! I've got a powerful hit, am always first runner on a short corner, and it feels so good to be able to play a whole game (~6km total distance) without needing to sub out. And the hockey has massively improved my running, such that I recently clocked a new 5k all-time PB of 22:03 (just before I turned 36). I'm stoked! These accomplishments have been so very rewarding, and I am convinced that laying that foundation of strength under Ben's guidance is what has enabled me to progress so much this year and remain injury-free. Highly recommend WCBC to anyone wanting to get strong - whether it's for competition, for other fitness activities, or simply for life. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Ben is a fantastic coach and the gym is top-notch: great people, amazing equipment, welcoming vibe - but still just the right amount of hard-core (it is powerlifting after all). Ben helped my wife and I to learn the fundamentals of the main barbell lifts, increase our strength profoundly, and compete in a novice powerlifting comp, which was a fantastic experience I can recommend highly enough. Also, Ben mentored me as I went through studying to be a personal trainer. As a former Physio (graduated 2000), I was impressed by Ben’s wide reaching knowledge across areas outside of standard coaching - including injury management and pain physiology. The fact that he’s trusted by many great Physiotherapists as a safe pair of hands to help people experiencing persistent pain speaks to his high level expertise.

Fantastic experience: I spent a few months training at West Coast Barbell Club during an extended trip to Perth. As an expat, I’ve trained at many gyms overseas and none have come close to this little gem. Ben is professional, approachable and seriously knowledgeable about strength training and has managed to create an environment that is unpretentious and non-intimidating. The facilities and equipment are awesome and all of its members have been welcoming and encouraging. The group training program is a brilliant concept - you get the benefit of Ben’s stellar coaching and programming in a small, sociable group environment. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Ben has established a new, roomier and brighter gym. Facilities are excellent and his support, as always, is terrific.

Fantastic experience: I started with the West Coast barbell club after a long period of stagnation following a beginner powerlifting program. In the short time I've been here, Ben has helped me overcome injury, helped me understand what proper programming looks like and helped me get to the strongest I've ever been. Great community and vibe. Great for those interested in strength training at ALL levels.

Fantastic experience: I got a reminder today of why I've been with West Coast Barbell Club for over 3 years now. A huge new gym has just opened in my neighbourhood. It's close, its affordable, it's shiney...but it scared the hell out of me. West Coast has such a special vibe that I'm not intimidated to train there. I came to Ben having no background in lifting or excersise at all. Fast forward a few years and I have a powerlifting state gold medal hanging in my living room (I didn't "win" it but I have it). Lifting has helped me in so many ways from personal confidence to work performance to pain management. West Coast Barbell Club also has a shiney new home so come on down, you'll be very welcome

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good people, Oi you LIFT! Benno is very knowledgeable about anything weights related.

Fantastic experience: Just a great gym. I have tried a few different gyms and fitness styles and after training with Ben for the better part of a year I am the strongest I have been and feel physically 'well' (not run down). A very welcoming atmosphere for small group classes. Good programming and a lot of individual attention for technique. Ben is obviously incredibly passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to strength training and is happy to share the knowledge if you're interested.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, which gave me the perfect introduction to powerlifting. Ben is an attentive, passionate and knowledgeable coach whose enthusiasm and encouragement makes me look forward to every session. The supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere really sets this place apart and makes it feel like a little community and not just a place to work out. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone thinking about getting into weight training.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined West Coast Barbell Club, with absolutely no lifting experience, based on other people's reviews of how knowledgeable and supportive Coach Ben is. I don't think any of those reviews (or mine!) can really do WCBC justice. Ben takes the time to ensure that you not only understand what to do, but also why you're doing it, in everything from technique and programming to rehab and pain management, and he celebrates every lifter's achievements with the same enthusiasm. He's built a friendly, encouraging and safe community of like-minded people, and I can honestly say I look forward to going to the gym each session. I'm easily the strongest I've ever been in my life, and look forward to getting even stronger!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I’ve been a member for over two years, and within that time, I’ve seen coach Ben continually hone his knowledge and skills as a fitness professional, triple the size of the gym itself and help so many people achieve their desired body weight and body composition goals; including me. The group coaching sessions are fun, the programming designed to build strength (new PBs, yay!), and all within a very supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: This is an outstanding gym and Ben is an incredible coach. Ben offers a unique and flexible service, catering for all ages and abilities. I initially started doing the group training sessions, which i loved but due to work commitments was unable to attend regularly. Ben was able to offer me the online service-creating a personalised program for me and regular online support, which enabled me to use the facilities at my local gym (closer to me) but still get the benefits of Ben's coaching. The pricing of both online and group sessions are extremely good value. In addition to the coaching and fun group atmosphere, the equipment in the gym is of exceptionally high quality-something which i only realised when i went back to train at my local gym! I am continuing to improve and can honestly say that joining WCBC is one of the best decisions Ive made, both for my mental and physical wellbeing. In addition to the coaching, Ben is always keen to advise on nutrition within his scope of practice and other aspects that affect training, such as managing other training loads and injury management . An all round great package, my only regret is that i didn't start sooner !

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended - Amazing coach, community and support! Ben is a breath of fresh air with his stellar coaching and passion to support his client's strength and health journey. You won't easily find a gym like his because not only is he dedicated and passionate, but the whole West Coast Barbell community encourages you to do your best every time. I've become so much stronger since I started, initially with one-to-one personal coaching to help me integrate into group training. I had often found myself getting bored of gym routines and felt stagnant with my progress - Ben curates his training into blocks with variations to help you achieve the goals you want. Trust me, once you start...you'll enjoy it more than you think! P.S. Powerlifting is for all ages and genders! There's a lot of female clients including myself and even my partner, brother and partner's dad goes too!

Fantastic experience: When my husband suggested we trial a new gym I was apprehensive because I have always been afraid of lifting weights due to lower back issues. Ben’s knowledge and experience have been fantastic and now I am lifting confidently and I look forward to every training session at WCBC. The members are friendly and supportive with a great mix of males and females.

Fantastic experience: Great gym run by Coach Ben, friendly atmosphere and safe environment where everyone puts in the work to get stronger. The members are very supportive of each other and always encouraging. If you want to focus on strength training I recommend West Coast Barbel Club

Fantastic experience: I’ve only started my training with Ben and I can tell I will be here for a long time. His one to one sessions are top class, he has 100% focus on my form and you can tell how passionate he is about coaching. He had my training block sent to me very quickly also, which I’m a nearly a week down and I look forward to every session now! When I ask him something over text/email there is a very prompt and professional reply. I know I’ll get everything I ever wanted out of a gym and coach at West Coast Barbell Club. I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. If you are thinking about starting training or need a change, Ben is your man!

Fantastic experience: I joined WCBC last year after my friends were raving about it how great it was. I was feeling pretty disengaged with my previous gym and rarely trained, so was excited to see what all the fuss was about. I was super impressed with the gym from the get go - I honestly look forward to each training sesh at WCBC and love seeing my gym buddies each morning. Ben has built a strong culture of commitment, support and respect at WCBC. Everyone puts in the work to get better and better week in week out, none other than coach Ben himself. TL;DR: Great gym and excellent coaching.

Fantastic experience: First thing you notice with this gym is there is no mirrors. Ben is an excellent and supportive coach. He is always encouraging and gets the best out of you. I never even considered powerlifting until my wife and I started going earlier this year. Now I am hooked and just completed my first max rep testing. The community he has built is just as supportive and are easy going. Not a gym for meat heads or steroid users! If you are interested in powerlifting check out this gym, you might just get hooked like me

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to improve your strength this is the place to be with a knowledgeable coach and a great bunch of people to train with.

Fantastic experience: Ben is a fantastic trainer and exceptionally good at understanding what's best for you, and helping you meet your short and long term goals

Fantastic experience: I started training with Ben (head coach) at WCBC just over 6 months ago in Perth and was so impressed with his support, knowledge and motivation to help me get stronger that I continued to train as a remote client when I relocated interstate. His dedication to his clients and their training is phenomenal and I couldn’t be more happy with the results he has allowed to me achieve through his tailored training programs. The gym itself has the most welcoming and supportive vibe of any gym I’ve ever trained in.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Coach Ben through a friend who was introduced through a friend and that pretty much sums up the atmosphere at West Coast Barbell Club, everyone you meet is friendly and supportive and encouraging. I started working with Ben about 5 months ago, I had no strength I struggled to lift the bar alone more than once or twice and to say minimal fitness would be an overstatement since then I have lost weight and seen my strength grow in a way I never actually believed was possible all of which is awesome and well worth the work but the unexpected part is that my confidence in myself has grown along with everything else and that is invaluable. As a coach Ben is patient, knowledgeable and dedicated, if you commit to the program it will be one of the best decisions you make for your physical and mental health.

Fantastic experience: Ben is an extremely encouraging and approachable coach, he teaches you the right techniques from day one so you can train with the confidence that you're making the most of your time in the gym. If you're a newcomer to strength training, WCBC will make sure those vital first steps are headed in the right direction.

Fantastic experience: When I first started training at WCBC I quickly felt welcome by the friendly, supportive and inspiring team and members, which makes up a small community I feel happy to be apart of. This makes training so much more enjoyable. Ben does an amazing job to make sure everyone feels welcome and provides absolute top quality personalised strength coaching. Only after a few weeks into training I was seeing results I thought I would be reaching much further down the track. I highly recommend WCBC!

Fantastic experience: What's special about this gym? The reality is that a lot gyms have decent equipment, but only a few are staffed with knowledgeable powerlifting coaches that can actually train members to lift correctly and provide sound programming to develop strength. You will find both at West Coast Barbell in Perth. I've trained at gyms in Hong Kong, Canada, the US, and the UK, and this is one of the best gyms going. Many thanks to Ben and his gym members for helping me improve my lifting technique and making feel at home during my visit to Australia.

Fantastic experience: I started training at West Coast Barbell Club with no weight lifting experience at all, and very worried that I would not fit in at all, but I was made to feel comfortable and welcome from the second I walked in! Ben is amazingly friendly and knowledgeable, and invests so much time and effort into your training to make sure you get the most you possibly can out of it. I only started a week or two before social distancing restrictions forced everything to shut down, and Ben still did his best to keep me in the loop and find options to keep me training. I already feel so much better for it, and am very glad I was recommended WCBC!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Ben over 2 years ago and could not be happier with my progress. Ben is a fantastic trainer and has build such a great, friendly gym to train in. His knowledge and dedication to all his clients is amazing. This is the best gym I have ever trained in!!!

Fantastic experience: As a couple of not-full-fitness seniors experienced a warm welcome at West Coast Barbell Club. We were encouraged and motivated by our meeting with the club's owner and trainer and we look forward to working with coach Ben!

Fantastic experience: I had been going to a well known gym chain for years and found the environment to be quite isolated, despite the number of people. I've been going to West Coast Barbell Club for four weeks now and the contrast is astonishing. It has a real positive vibe and everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other. The head coach, Ben, has always been there to provide me with invaluable information on technique, fitness, and nutrition. On top of that, the encouragement and feedback I continuously receive from Ben really boosts my confidence and gives me a sense of accomplishment. This place is more than a gym and to use the word, doesn't do it justice.

Fantastic experience: A great environment and community to develop motor patterns and strength. Ben is attentive, friendly and highly knowledgeable. In a few months with his understanding of proper programming I was able to exceed plateaus that I've been stuck on for years.

Fantastic experience: If you want quality and quantity it’s here. This boutique club has evidence based programming so the attention to detail will have you PBing your lifts in no time. If you’re a beginner then your like me, I use it for injury prevention for my work and footy. I’m easily the strongest I’ve ever been. Great club great gang.

Fantastic experience: Right from my first training session at WCBC, I felt supported and encouraged and head coach Ben had me safely pressing, squatting and dead lifting weights I never thought were possible at my beginner level. There is no ego lifting here; WCBC is about sustainable training to develop genuine strength and improve well being, in a friendly and fun community. Ben is very approachable and generous with his vast knowledge of barbell training and programming and who is clearly passionate about improving the strength and well being of people of all abilities and goals. Whether you are someone training for a power lifting competition or are a retiree who wants to get stronger for a greater quality of life, Ben will get you there!

Fantastic experience: I came from a crossfit background and was looking to do something a little different. I always had a penchant for lifting rather than heavy cardio. I was quite surprised to find my body composition basically stayed the same swapping out high intensity for Ben's (very!) methodical and calculated programming. Still a bit of a cardio burn in there every now and then which is good but certainly things everyone can manage. Above all else - after my first block of training with Ben all of my lifts increased by 10% which was a massive increase for where I was t the time and quite surprising! The difference in training specific movements rather than being hugely varied (Which seems to be the current circuit style training trend) was interesting and the results spoke for themselves. Results and programming aside, its a great little group, chilled vibe, no turbos.. it just feels like a grassroots no frills gym - thats what i love about it. Follow the programming and you will get results, its really simple. Ben is also scarily knowledgable!

Fantastic experience: I didn’t even know what I was missing from a gym membership until I started training at West Coast Barbell! Ben offers a fun, challenging and supportive environment, and an individualised approach to getting results. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: In only a short time Ben has been instrumental in helping me find confidence in my body that has been missing for years after a severe lower back injury. Ben’s advice and guidance aswell as the friendly and supportive atmosphere at the club has been extremely motivating. For the first time in a long time I am really excited about training and confident I can reach all of my health and fitness goals. West Coast Barbell Club is the only gym I’ve ever really enjoyed training at. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym. It has a strong focus on correct technique, and programming to build your strength and conditioning. Top quality equipment, clean environment and a close-knit community feel.

Fantastic experience: Ben's a great coach who focuses on health and building a body-positive culture in his gym for men and women. I had never trained before and was worried about the perceived culture of weightlifting, but I've had the best experience with Ben and WCBC!!

Fantastic experience: With years of playing in multiple competive sports and working in a variety of gyms, WCBC is the edge you need in your training to achieve your body and strength goals! Ben, the coach, is knowledgeable, transparent and will pick up the smallest of details that require tweaking in the first few moments of your lifts. Whether you're new to lifting or are experienced and want to take it to the next level, WCBC will be there for you every step of the way. This club is like no other gym I have trained or worked in that genuinely values their members and their journey.

Fantastic experience: My partner was always telling me how she enjoys the atmosphere and camaraderie at the club. Being honest I was always a bit sceptical as I never enjoyed the gym scenario but I had to see for myself what all the fuss was about. Since joining I have learned so much from Ben on the importance of technique, having structured training & guidance and the importance of diet for fuel & muscle recovery. I’m still in the early stages but can already see progress and gains in my training.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at WCBC for a few months now and it's been an amazing experience..Owner and coach Ben is dedicated to provide a great atmosphere to seasoned and new lifters all the same. A great team environment with some amazing people and a great place to build strength and for all the gainzzz . Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I don't think giving a 5 star review is adequate - this place deserves atleast 10 stars! Thanks to Head Coach Ben, I am in the best shape of my life both mentally and physically. Training at WCBC has made me proud to be a woman who powerlifts - I am strong physically and mentally and I now have the utmost respect with what my body is capable of. I have made some fantastic friends and been exposed to such a great community. I have also started on a career path within the strength training world which I'd never have the opportunity to do without this place. 10/10 the best gym in Perth.

Fantastic experience: A great little space tucked away in East Perth run by the ridiculously knowledgeable and all round top bloke Ben. His dedication to expanding his knowledge around training and health is awesome and he is determined to pass it on to you. I got fitter and stronger and had a great time doing it.

Fantastic experience: Ben is a talented, committed and passionate strength training coach. I have been training with Ben for about 10months now, both locally in WA and remotely from VIC. His ability to adapt his coaching style to each individual members ever-changing needs, goals and aspirations make him an exceptional and down-to-earth coach. Don't even think about going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Very good strength training gym for beginners and experienced alike. Coach Ben is friendly and very knowledgeable. If you're interested in getting fit in a very friendly and pressure free environment I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a committed and engaging owner. Great place to build strength and get fit.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train ! Ben is a great coach and the gym has a friendly lift culture. I originally attended the club for five and a half months , where I achieved Pr's in major compound lifts. My biggest gain was in my back squat, where I had never achieved the numbers I got training alone or attending a Crossfit gym. I have recently rejoined and I am looking forward to further gains ! Ben is also adhering to COVID regulations, and all the rules are respected by gym members. This is a major plus in our current circumstances.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous joining a new gym, considering I had ZERO experience with weights and was coming back to physical activity after an ankle injury. Coach Ben really took time to explain everything to me and the atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging. I already feel stronger while at work and playing sport, and experience less pain in my back too. I couldn’t be happier with the level of care and knowledge Ben passes on to his clients and I am grateful to be a part of the group at West Coast Barbell Club !

Fantastic experience: Training with Ben is teaching me so much about training progressively & safely. I know I can make a long term commitment here / this style of training; this is the sustainability Ive been looking for. I’m getting stronger fast and can immediately see results. This is a fun and friendly community with no juice heads!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!!! Ben offers a personalised, fun and professional coaching service in a small sociable group setting which makes strength training really effective. Before I came along to the group, i dabbled in strength training but it was a bit of a chore, and never really made any progress. Since joining i have become heaps stronger and really enjoy my training sessions. Ben is knowledgeable, dedicated , approachable and highly motivating , couldn't ask for a better coach! :)

Fantastic experience: I joined WCBC recently because I was looking for more guidance and assistance with strength training. Ben has a great coaching style and is extremely knowledgeable, and I can honestly say I’ve made more progress in the last two months working with him, than I had in the previous two or three years. The atmosphere at the club is very friendly and everyone has been very welcoming. Love it!!

Fantastic experience: Ben is an extremely knowledgeable and approachable coach who stays up to date with the latest research and takes a holistic approach to coaching. This enables his clients to achieve their own personal goals (whatever these might be) through receiving the highest level of evidence based coaching.

Fantastic experience: Awesome space right near the CBD. Quality equipment and first-class, knowledgeable coach who spends a lot of time doing research so you always know you're getting the best advice from both health and strength standpoints. Online coaching also a great option! Ben can write all your programming needs based on your goals and always happy to give advice on form when you need it.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Ben for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. He is really dedicated to strength training and his knowledge in the field is second to none. He has been patient with me during my knee injury and gone out of his way to educate himself on the best possible action to assist my recovery. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

Fantastic experience: Awesome addition to East Perth. Great attention to detail and technique Thanks WCBC !!

Fantastic experience: A great space with the loveliest of people.

Fantastic experience: With years of playing in multiple competive sports and working in a variety of gyms, WCBC is the edge you need in your training to achieve your body and strength goals! Ben, the coach, is knowledgeable, transparent and will pick up the smallest of details that require tweaking in the first few moments of your lifts. Whether you're new to lifting or are experienced and want to take it to the next level, WCBC will be there for you every step of the way. This club is like no other gym I have trained or worked in that genuinely values their members and their journey.

Fantastic experience: Ben is an exceptional coach and training here has dramatically increased my strength and confidence in my abilities. The group training environment encourages attendance as well as creating a fun and open place to train. Wouldn't go anywhere else and I would recommend this to anybody who wants discipline and strength from training

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to build strength and endurance!

Fantastic experience: Been training with head coach Ben for about 9 months and have seen really good improvements in strength and general health. Highly recommend if you are looking for a gym with a great team and coach that is focused on your personal performance and improvement!!
