Red Beard Barbell Club - (Near Berkshire, UK)

5 /5 Joanne Chittenden: Ive been training at RBBC since the start of 2020 and all I can say is that Charlie Knight will go above and beyond for his members when they need him. He will gladly put together personal training programmes for you if you have a specific goal in mind or a competition you need to prepare for. Every class programme has been meticulously thought about and put together to ensure members hit their peak performance ahead of any competition that they have coming up. Having been a member thats gone through everything from the Olympic Lifting to Powerlifting to Strong(wo)man training I have enjoyed seeing and feeling the physical changes and developments over this time and cant wait to keep going with this! Not only am I training at RBBC but the fact I can take my eldest daughter through to her own training sessions (which she absolutely loves) makes me so excited as shes getting in from the ground level and can only go up with whichever path she chooses! Thank you for making RBBC what it is Charlie!!

5 /5 Chris Thompson: Ive only been training here for a couple months now but I can safely say it is the best place Ive ever trained. Everyone is super helpful, friendly and supportive. The atmosphere is great. The equipment is great, there are so many toys that you wont find in a commercial gym, and best of all everyone reracks their weights and clears up after themselves. The owner Charlie has already gone above and beyond in helping me out. Providing me with a cold compress after I had a clumsy moment. And even gave me the shirt off of his own back (back/bag whats the difference) after I had forgot to bring a spare. If youre serious about strength training or looking to get into strength training I cant recommend it enough. I had never done strongman before and everyone is super helpful and patient in teaching the movements and giving little technique tips.

5 /5 Matt Kingston: Charlie’s barn is the perfect place for complete beginners and experienced lifters. With quality coaching and equipment it is hard to not make progress, especially in such a technical sport like weightlifting. The best part about the barn is the atmosphere. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, how long you’ve been lifting or what you look like, expect a couple of jokes to be made at your expense so be prepared to give as good as you get!

5 /5 Lyndsey Oliver: Charlie has created an incredible club and community at the barn for kids and adults alike. Theres no other place that compares - its unique, and one of a kind. Charlie is brilliant. His barn is brilliant - it might not be deluxe but it is exquisite & that is because it is steeped in love, passion and a desire to encourage everyone and anyone to be their very best - & whether that be a 10kg personal best or a 100kg - everyone will be celebrated. You don’t get that in many places.

5 /5 Paul: An absolutely amazing place that has the most supportive members. Let’s get one thing clear RBBC is NOT a commercial gym. There is no cardio equipment, there is no steam room or sauna. There is 1 tiny round mirror on the back of a door (that’s for 1 person that requested it) What RBBC is - *A weightlifting/powerlifting/strongman training facility. *A community of like minded people that spur one another on to be better & to get stronger. *A magical place where anything is possible, if you dream of doing something strength related Charlie will help you achieve it. There is so much more to describe RBBC but the only way to understand is to come down and join in.
