Barbell Club

WHO WE ARE:

UCL Barbell is the center of all things strength training and fitness on campus.
Whether you are a beginner, pro or anything in between, join us to get stronger and fitter together!
The club caters both to competing athletes, those wishing to learn and progress in a new sport and anyone who wants to get fitter and stronger! Our members currently train and compete across the strength disciplines of powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, as well as those who train for aesthetics and bodybuilding. We also support the average gymgoer who wants to use strength training to progress in their own sport, or for general wellbeing.
We offer training sessions, competitions (Novice Comp, Varsity Series, BUCS) and events throughout the year, providing opportunities for novices and senior members alike.
Members benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience from our highly qualified coaching teams in both powerlifting and weightlifting!
And, we're the largest and strongest barbell sports club in London!
