WNC Barbell

Fantastic experience: This gym and staff are phenomenal. Members were very friendly and they were more than accommodating for hurricane relief workers. A gym that pays attention to hard work and reciprocity. I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: It's a well equipped gym. Bar bells, workout machines treadmills, etc. Everything is clean and well maintained. Staff is very helpful. There are classes and shower facilities. A little tricky to get into and hard to make a left upon leaving.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town. You walk in the place and get at least 3% stronger. Fantastic ownership and employees, we highly recommend WNC Barbell if you are looking for a gym !

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Asheville hands down. not only does it have all the equipment/machines you could ever want, it’s also 24/7 and well maintained. the owners are very proactive and making lots of improvements. if you are serious about working out this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: We switched to WNC Barbell after going to Gold's for a while. We were specifically looking for a lifting coach for personal training, and were pleased to find several options here, each of whom had a wide breadth of specialized knowledge. It's a smaller space than Gold's, which I actually prefer, there's still plenty of equipment options-- and all the staff I've interacted with have been very friendly and helpful, including the massage therapists whose offices are on site. We really appreciate having a gym that's focused on weight lifting (and not just cross fit) that feels low-key and local.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Awesome! A genuine old school gym, I love it!!!

Negative experience: Needed to cancel my membership as I obtained a personal gym as to avoid the monthly payments. They took $75 as a payment and caused my car payment to bounce back, I had to transfer from my savings and now don’t have enough money for lunch this week.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently moved to Asheville and we are thrilled that we found this incredible gym. It’s so spacious, has plenty of quality equipment, and everyone who works here is friendly and helpful. This is a legit gym for people who want to put in serious work. Great atmosphere all around.

Fantastic experience: I work out there, hours are perfect! 24! Weights and a good local atmosphere! Boom!

Fantastic experience: This is the classic lifting gym that I was looking for. Great sense of community and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Wife and I came here while we where visiting. Great gym. Loves it. Thanks.

Negative experience: If I could give this gym a negative stars review, I would. Their customer service is terrible. I have been getting mail for Andy Reed for over a year. I have marked it “return to sender”, called this location multiple times, left multiple messages for Greg(?) to return my call with no response from anyone. None of these actions have worked. I am still getting these letters. I stopped by today (3/13/21) to try to resolve the matter. After asking to speak with the person responsible for billing, a man said that was him. After explaining my situation, I was immediately met with aggression by the guy on duty. He told me I needed to speak to the owner. When I told him I already tried that, he responded “I don’t know what to tell you.” As loathe as I am to say this, I can’t recommend supporting this local business. A corporate business (like Gold’s Gym or the YMCA) would have resolved the issue immediately. **** Once again, I have called your business with no one answering the phone. I have reached out many different times, through several different ways, and this issue is still not resolved! It's very simple, stop sending me mail for someone that I don't know. It's really that simple.

Fantastic experience: This place is perfect. 24/7 access with your own key FOB, dry sauna, showers, lockers, and all the equipment your heart desires. Cheaper than you would think to join and never regretted a moment of being there. I never got a training session from Mike, but seen him working with a ton of happy clientele over the past few weeks. If you’re looking for a great gym, would 100% recommend checking this place out

Fantastic experience: very clean excellent gym. highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym!! Staff is super friendly and very helpful. All of the equipment you would need and brand new!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. They have everything you need and the best part is that they are open 24hr. Workers there are very polite and just chill! I love the rugged look of it all. Makes you feel like you’re in one of those body builder gyms I’m definitely recommending this place to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality WNC Barbell is a great gym. They offer a 24 hour access option which was great for a busy schedule. They have top knotch equipment for powerlifting and bodybuilding, and it's a great environment to work out.

Fantastic experience: Just found this place and got a day pass. Really friendly people running the gym and the folks I met there were great as well. The equipment is first-rate and there are plenty of stations -lots of good stuff. The place is clean and I really enjoyed my time there. When I visit Asheville , this will be my gym. Thanks guys -

Fantastic experience: Perfect place to workout when you want with what you want. A good gym isn't brand new and fresh smelling, it's not a country club and this gym isn't rundown, top of line service and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Greg and the staff are very helpful with the proper use of the equipment and any questions you may have regarding nutrition. The facility and equipment is extremely clean. There is always chemicals and towels for patronts to use, and available. The atmosphere is always extremely friendly. I would recommend wnc barbell to anyone looking for a gym facility, or wanting a change. This is also a 24/7 facility, which I love.

Fantastic experience: We go to the gym 4-5 times a week. We’ve been members for many years. The environment is extremely comfortable and professional. Great staff. Clean environment. Exercise equipment is updated and fits all of our needs.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout !

Fantastic experience: For me this gym works perfectly. It's low-key and not flashy like some of the other gyms but that's perfect! I like the fact that it's locally-owned by a small business owner and not some corporate behemoth. The gym has plenty of weights and plenty of machines and areas to do stretches and cardio and such. The staff and patrons are friendly. The 24/7 option is great so you can come anytime. I definitely recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great owners. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great Place to workout even for a Beginner everybody is Respectful and nobody stares at you working out like they do at some other Gyms. Very Clean and Excellent Equipment, Love working out here.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a good workout in. Always clean!

Fantastic experience: No frills, no excuses. You want results? WNC is where you can get it. Love this gym.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym, staff is professional and helpful.

Fantastic experience: So get this I had this girlfriend right I bought her a membership but I stole her from Colorado I was like she might leave to the owner of the gym and he put on the agreement if she leaves then will void out her side of the contract which I was paying for so she left I waited about a month just to see if she would come back She never came back So he voided out that part of the contract. Think about how crazy amazing beautiful and awesome that is.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Would highly recommend going here. Prices are Good and the place has well maintained equipment!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at WNC Barbell for over 12 years. I've always enjoyed working out there and always having access 24 hours a day makes working out easier. Greg and his staff work hard to keep the gym and equipment up to date. Thanks WNC Barbell

Fantastic experience: Very clean facility. I never had to wait to use any of the machines.

Fantastic experience: I was a member at..W.N.C. Barbell for 3 year's...it's a gr8 gym.they have gr8 machines..for any thing you want to work on... Tons of free weights...lots of cardiovascular machines..lots of gr8 people...and gr8 employees..I had to drop out for a health problem..I hope to join back soon..it's just a gr8 place to get healthy..

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Greg is always great to deal with and keeps the equipment top notch!

Fantastic experience: Friendly service, great equipment, no wait, 24/7...and they have a fabulous medical massage therapist.

Fantastic experience: WNC Barbell is a great facility for those who are looking to really concentrate and focus on their lifts without distraction. This is what you'd call an old school facility with no with frills and advertising. The gym consists of a large number of weighted cable machines and a large number of free weights. All of which, are well maintained. Surprising to see, especially with a cable row machine that sits on the floor. You feel like you stepped back in time. There are a good handful of treadmills, bike machines and ellipticals. I know the facility offers taekwondo and a silver sneakers program, as well as massage therapy (recommended). I chose this facility because it is not a flashy franchise with all the added extras you don't need in a membership. It has all I need and it is also open 24 hours. Weights and cardio.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for those looking to get after it and improve as an individual!

Fantastic experience: Best selection of powerlifting equipment in AVL. Everything is well maintained. Casual atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: AWESOME GYM , I have been going to barbell for about a year now and love that is a smaller gym I am able to get in and out. I love how well they have adjusted to covid and how everybody respects the rules put in place to keep everybody safe. GREAT GYM!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Friendliest "small gym" you will find, with equipment you don't always find at every other gym. Everything you need in a gym!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym if your there to work out. It has all the equipment I need for heavy lifting . If your coming to sit around and chit chat and clog up the equipment go to golds.

Fantastic experience: WNC Barbell is such a great gym and I can’t wait until they reopen!! They have all the best equipment and it’s always clean. They have convenient hours for everyone and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Good old school, heavy lifting, there to get bigger, stronger, and in shape. Great atmosphere. No fluff. Check it out you won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Best gym in western North Carolina

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and great people. Always clean!

Positive experience: Large gym with everything you need. Not very crowded either which was nice. I recommend this gym!

Negative experience: Owner continues to ignore me, many months after countless calls/emails/FB posts/etc. I have continued to receive delinquency threats that have NO DIRECTIONS or contact info in order to settle the matter. Avoid this place at all costs.

Negative experience: They just focused on the money. My 18 months expired a month an half after nc closed all the gyms due the COVID19. i tried to start the membership again and they said i have to pay the inscription fee again. They said because I waited too much on renewing it.. So how long its been since they allowed gyms to reopen .?? Oh they wantednme to be paying with the gym being closed?

Positive experience: Been going here a few years now. It’s a good facility and it’s a local business here in candler. Very convenient to my apartment. Great training staff here. The equipment is a bit dated but it is maintained. I also feel that the prices are reasonable.

Positive experience: 24 hour access gym with a plethora of equipment. Definitely focused more towards weight lifting. Very affordable and a great option compared to other places with limited hours.

Positive experience: WNC Barbell is a contemporary gym with Old School roots. I have been a member for over a decade and it is the best bargain for your workout dollar. I appreciate having 24/7 access to the gym which is the flexibility I need for my work schedule.

Positive experience: WNC Barbell is a great local gym with something for most folks. It has a large free weight area, machines for those with limited mobility or those inclined to a safer method for weight bearing exercise and treadmills for indoor walking and running. There’s also spin machines and limited programmable exercise bikes. There’s a padded floor exercise area and an adjacent martial arts school as well as a classroom for senior exercise classes or other activities. You can even access the equipment 24 - 7 for those working odd hour shifts or other schedule restrictions. A qualified personal trainer and licensed exercise physiologist is available. It accepts Silver Sneakers which is a plus for us!

Positive experience: Have been a member of WNC Barbell, great 24 hour gym. It works great for anytime work outs. Plenty of equipment, very little time if any spent on waiting on equipment, more time working out less time waiting.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! Its a gym to train hard, no bells and whistles but all the equipment you could ever ask for and its in good working order. Love its age, reminds me of an old bodybuilding and powerlifting oriented gym. They have very reasonable prices and no bureaucracy. You guys rock!

Fantastic experience: We came here while visiting family over Christmas. Great gym and everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be coming back when we are in town again.

Fantastic experience: Mike is awesome! Local gym that has been in business for years. Equipment is top notch just like the service.

Fantastic experience: Love it. Very convenient.

Fantastic experience: We came here while visiting family over Christmas. Great gym and everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be coming back when we are in town again.

Positive experience: Lower key 'local' gym, with simple structural lay out, great range of machines, free weights (you won't run out of weights.....) and most important of all, it was spotlessly clean. The outside might give the impression it is just a shed, but it actually is a REALLY good facility and worth a visit and or a membership. Good experience.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. There is an abundance of well maintained equipment, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Going here has helped me so much. I have never felt that comfortable in a gym before but I do here - WNC Barbell is probably the only place I feel is what a gym should be like. Thanks Greg and your team for the effort you put in to make this place welcoming to ALL especially with all the new updates and renovations you have done. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful no pressure place to workout.

Negative experience: Good gym but wouldn’t cancel my membership when I wanted to leave even though I was on a month to month contract. Billed me 3 times after I cancelled, had to get a new credit card to stop them.

Fantastic experience: Love this place.

Positive experience: I've worked out here a few times with clients. Good looking gym. Hours are a little short for me and I'd like some type of Sunday option but for most people they would be fine. Clean with a good selection of weights, plus there is a martial arts following here so if you like to spar you have that option.
