Granite Barbell

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym! It has all the equipment you could possibly imagine as well as superb environment. It's a great culture where experienced hardcore lifters are training next to everyday folks in a mutually supportive environment. I think this mainly comes from the serious but still FUN vibe Brett the owner brings. I can't recommend Granite Barbell highly enough! -Mark Sayer

Fantastic experience: My home away from home.

Fantastic experience: By far and away the best gym I have ever been to. The staff and trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and create and environment fit for anyone. The gym-goers create an environment of fun and kinship. Could not recommend any higher.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The best injury rehab I've ever done.

Fantastic experience: You won't find a better group of passionate trainers that are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. No other gym in the area like it... 5 stars falls short of my true opinion of this place. Fun & friendly environment to top it off; you can't ask for more.

Fantastic experience: AN AMAZING GYM THAT GOT ME READY FOR MY TOURNAMENT

Fantastic experience: Great gym!! Everyone is so helpful and awesome!

Fantastic experience: Granite Barbell has been the BEST gym I have been too. I have seen Incredible changes in all aspect of myself. They provide a safe and comfortable workout environment. It's a pleasant, clean and an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great place. Whether you are beginning your fitness journey or you are a high level lifter or athlete this is the place for you. They have everything you could ask for and more. Great friendly environment where everyone knows each other and you can be completely comfortable knowing everyone wants to see you succeed

Fantastic experience: The Granite Barbell has been changing my body, and as a result, my life as well. People who go there are there for many different reasons. Some to loose weight, some to get stronger and slow down the effects of aging and some to prepare for competitions that they have coming up. Once I started I realized how much it means to me to be there on regular basis and what it is doing for me. I not only get a gym but also a trainer who has been doing it for years and knows what they are doing and what is best for me. Brett Katie and Rob are really great people and make me feel welcome. I could go on and on about the unique methods I have learned about, but more importantly is the fact that these guys are competitors and make it thier business to help those there to achieve their goals, not just people who have received limited training to become trainers themselves. This is the real deal......

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility. No gimmicks, just great coaches with the right equipment.

Fantastic experience: I found my new home. The staff was very helpful and the owner is really a nice guy. I recommend to visit and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here since the gyms opened in 2021 and I've never looked back!

Fantastic experience: I recommend Granite barbell to everyone. Brett and the GB team are so knowledgeable and go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. Truly a place where everyone feels welcome and empowered to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming environment with knowledgeable coaches in all aspects of strength. Great little gym that gives back to the community. A gym for everyone from strongmen to powerlifters and people who are into general fitness!

Fantastic experience: Granite Barbell is the place to go if you want to get strong and learn how train the right way. The trainers are unbelievably knowledgeable. It’s not like walking into your average commercial gym where some smiling chucklehead behind the desk who just printed out his PT certificate after taking a 3 hour online course is going to tell you how he’ll get you to lose your love handles by cutting out carbs and spending a 30 minutes a week doing the ab machine. The trainers at Granite Barbell know their stuff. They will teach you the right way to train in order to reach your goals whether those are to become a competitive powerlifter or strongman/woman, rehab from an injury or just build and maintain strength so that you’ll be able to get up off the toilet unassisted when you’re 75 years old. The best part about Granite Barbell is the sense of community and diversity. At any given time you can find yourself working out next to world class powerlifters and strongmen, high school athletes, and people just looking to stay in shape and everyone is supportive of each other. It is truly, to borrow the slogan of the purple gym, a judgement free zone. There are no strutting peacocks staring at themselves in the mirror. If you’re looking for shiny machines and gimmicks you’re not going to find them there but come in anyway because you’ll realize that’s not what you need and let Brett and his crew help you get fit, stronger and better.

Fantastic experience: Brett is an amazing trainer and love the atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: The knowledgeable coaches help people from all backgrounds to become the strongest version of themselves, physically and mentally. Everyone is also extremely welcoming and supportive. Granite Barbell is the best gym I’ve ever been to, hands down.

Fantastic experience: Been working out here since 2016 and I have learned SO much from Brett. Very casual place to workout in and work at. No one pushes the sport of strongman on you, but there’s tons of equipment to give some of the events a try if you want. Definitely better than the chain gyms in the area. Granite Barbell has so much more to offer like personalized training programs, help with rehab and recovery, or even just someone to chat with in between sets. You’ll never find me training anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly atmosphere and the trainers do their best to make every workout great workout

Fantastic experience: Granite Barbell is one of the BEST communities Orange County/Hudson Valley has to offer. When I first stepped in the gym I was welcomed immediately despite being nervous my first time. I quickly realized the owner loves to create long term bonds that will undeniably last a lifetime. My strength’s gone up significantly overtime due to his coaching methods. It has now been two years since I started competing in Strongman. I would not change that for the world. This gym helped me to unlock my true potential. I made so many friends that I now consider family. If you do not come to this gym, I can confidently say you are missing out. If you want laughs, good times, and heavy weights, this is 100% your gym. I cannot thank Granite Barbell enough for changing my life.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! This isn't planet fitness and I'm so happy it's not. Super chill and welcoming environment. I highly recommend for the ladies who don't want to feel watched at commercial gyms and basically any guy who wants to get jacked.

Fantastic experience: Don't let the looks of this place fool you! This is not a crossfit gym! Brett does a fantastic job creating personal workout plans for each of his clients.

Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely amazing! The coaches here are really knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and competitive training. They are super friendly and communicate effectively. Since Day 1 we felt welcomed, there's no real ego here. As Hard as this gym is the people here are all really friendly and encouraging! I love the atmosphere here. I served 10 years in the United States Marine Corps Infantry as an 0351, and both me and my wife feel right at home! This gym has everything you need to improve your health, fitness and lifestyle to effective strength and conditioning for athletes and competing in strong man competitions. Come through if you don't fall in love at first sight then you don't belong here!

Fantastic experience: Transforming lives every single day. This is strength building for everyone and it's done as a community. Start your journey with the crew that knows and makes you feel like one of their own! Personalized & Supportive every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: I don't put 1 star reviews

Fantastic experience: I'm not sure where to even start when it comes to Granite Barbell. I have tried several commercial gyms and never have I been so motivated and felt so welcomed than I am at Granite Barbell. The first day I walked in and met Brett, who became my personal trainer, I knew that it was the place for me. Him and the other trainers are always so encouraging, positive, and helpful. It seems as though everyone leaves their egos at the door. There has not been one person I've met there that has not been encouraging and uplifting. All of the clients and the trainers genuinely want to see eachother succeed and push eachother to meet their goals. I have been going to Granite Barbell now for almost 5 months and I cannot wait to see where the future with GB takes me. I've slimmed down, gained a ton of confidence and have Granite Barbell to thank! Don't miss out!

Fantastic experience: Great place to get ripped

Fantastic experience: Positive experiences here, great motivation and coach!! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to train!

Fantastic experience: I don't put 1 star reviews

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best. Brett Somerville is a fantastic trainer that will get you where you need to go. No joke, I've gained 30 pounds of pure muscle through his programming and my totals have shot way up. In addition to all the bars, racks, and platforms you need, there's a ton of awesome strongman equipment to work with. And everyone is cool! There are no jerks or egos here.

Fantastic experience: Brett has a definite dedication and passion to creating results. I visit when I am up from Virginia and have noticed the progress with the clients. For one on one training, Brett is able to adapt programs and most certainly knows how to have fun. Always
