618 Barbell Adelaide: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, lots of great equipment (FOUR Monolifts...) top tier coaches, the best community. Cannot recommend enough. Have been coming for many years.
Fantastic experience: Great strength and powerlifting gym with an awesome community! Some question why I travel an hour some days to train there and it’s because of the great equipment and great environment! I would not have grown stronger physically and mentally without the support of the 618 community!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym environment with a good selection of equipment. Friendly and supportive culture, everyone is always willing to chip in and help out others. They host some pretty excellent competitions for any experience level as well. I've been coming here for almost 7 years now and have seen just how dedicated the owner is to consistently improving the gym space and the selection of equipment. Best gym I've ever trained in that's for sure!
Fantastic experience: Whatever stage you are at in your training journey, you will find an encouraging and supportive environment at 618 Barbell
Fantastic experience: One of the best strength and powerlifting gyms you’ll ever go to. The sense of community among the members is indicative of the friendly and inclusive culture that comes from the owner right down through to the newest members. The competitions are run professionally and of the highest standard with quality equipment.
Fantastic experience: Best gym around. professionally run. Great bunch of people
Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for over 6 years now, and I couldn't think of a better place to train. The gym is spacious, has all the equipment that you could hope for in a strength facility and the members are incredibly friendly and supportive. It's not just a gym, it's a community Oh and the comps held there are very excellent, from novice to elite, everyone is catered for!
Fantastic experience: Great powerlifting gym with everything you need — quality equipment, a supportive crew, and no egos. Two very experienced coaches are available to help you progress and reach your full potential. Everyone’s happy to give you a hand with your lifts or setting up the equipment if you’re not sure. It’s a great place to train, get stronger, and feel part of a real community.
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing gym with a great community I’ve been training at 618 Barbell since 2016 and honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. My son started coming with me when he was just 8 years old, and a few years later my daughter joined too — it’s been awesome to train as a family in such a supportive, welcoming place. The people here are friendly and down-to-earth, and the coaches are world-class. Whether you’re just starting out or competing at a high level, everyone’s treated with the same respect and encouragement. It’s a really inclusive environment and you’ll always feel like part of the team. If you’re looking for a gym that knows strength and values community, 618 Barbell is the place to be.
Fantastic experience: Such a great training environment! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place to learn the basic fundamentals of lifting and to smash any weight/ strength or personal training goals with the support and safety of other experienced athletes.
Fantastic experience: An epic and friendly gym. Great powerlifting equipment but just seriously the best crew in Adelaide in both staff and members.
Fantastic experience: I consciously choose to travel 70km for this gym purely for the way I feel when I leave. Great equipment, even better staff, and a solid community. You can understand why this gym succeeds when compared to constant closures of other gyms nearby.

Fantastic experience: You won't find a better gym around!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic powerlifting event held here, very professional gym and great people.
Fantastic experience: It's been a few years since I trained consistently at 618 Barbell, but I remain confident that my experience holds true: - good quality equipment. There aren't 50 NordiTrack or Nautilus or Hammer Strength machines, but if you're powerlifting or powerbuilding focused, high quality and everything you need. - good people. The clientele and the staff have a way of 'weeding out' people who f don't fit the culture by natural selection. Mutual respect, willingness to help, willingness to give you your space to train unencumbered. - good atmosphere. If you want or need to be pushed, the right environment is waiting. If I lived nearby, I'd definitely be training there on occasion - even with a home gym that ain't far from being as well equipped as 618!
Fantastic experience: Great powerlifting gym. Good selection of equipment with area to workout in so its not cramped. Owner and staff are great with lots of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Wery nice atmosfire to train plus top powerlifting equpment Best strangh training gym in nortside.
Fantastic experience: Good people and top of the line equipment what else could you want
Fantastic experience: Best Power lifting equipment available, great space, great people.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!!! The equipment is top of the line (not like the cheaper gear you find in commercial gyms) and the owner (BJ) knows his stuff. He is always there, helping people out, sharing the wealth of fitness knowledge he has accumulated over the years working in the industry (he's SUPER nice too :)). The other gym goers are also really, really friendly and heaps of them are more than willing to share what they know (and they know A LOT!) and spot you when you need. I was pretty intimated at the thought of going to a 'powerlifting/strength and conditioning' gym to start with but after 1 session there I quickly realised it was the place I needed to be to reach my health and fitness goals. No one, regardless of how big or strong they are or aren't, makes you feel anything other than welcome, inspired and motivated. Switching to PTC from my previous Anytime Fitness gym was the best move and I'm so glad I did it. Highly recommend making your way down to PTC Adelaide regardless of whether you are in it for powerlifting, bodybuilding or general health and fitness. Give it one week here and I am sure you will be hooked! #strongerthanever
