DSM Barbell Club

Fantastic experience: I was coming from out of town and needed a place to train for a day. Their communication and sign-up for a one-day pass was really good. The gym itself has a tremendous amount of really solid equipment for any type of strength training. I highly recommend this gym if you are in the Des Moines area! I would definitely go back.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, awesome atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in the DSM area. I was a member for almost a year before I got a new job with its own private, well-equipped gym (for free). Figured even though it meant going back to a “commercial” gym, it was worth it to save some cash. I was wrong. There is just nothing like DSM Barbell. The people are awesome, the environment is great, equipment is first class, music is always killer. AND, if you’re someone like me who finds it hard to get and stay motivated to work out and train hard, commercial gyms just won’t cut it. The environment at DSM Barbell inspires you and makes your training something you want to show up for. Happy as hell to spend the money to come back!

Fantastic experience: The attentiveness of the staff is on point. The environment is very friendly and has everything that one would want.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for powerlifting/bodybuilding and never gets too crowded. Great people here too!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member and visited quite a few gyms over the years, and nowhere has felt more like home than DSM Barbell. Jake has created an incredibly inclusive environment which has attracted quality people, trainers and members alike. I appreciate this community so much. So, whether you are a beginner or been in the lifting game for some time, I would encourage you to check it out.

Fantastic experience: Great place for people looking to train hard. The owner is very responsive and listens to members. A lot of unique barbells and equipment that you won't find at a commercial gym.

Fantastic experience: Classic powerlifting and overall training gym. Owners are very attentive to equipment condition’s cleanliness and safety. Crowd is friendly and enthusiastic. The facilities are classic old school warehouse style. If you’re a serious lifter and want a place to train close to downtown and the east village this is it.

Fantastic experience: The first time I stepped into this gym I was greeted with friendly smiles and waves by the members. Jake and Dylan took the time to meet me and check in with me to make sure my gym needs were met. I immediately bought a membership then and there. DSMBARBELL brings the community together and prides themselves on representation and inclusiveness by serving the diverse population in the area. I’m able to ask for help on how to do specific movements and gain some more insights into the realm of powerlifting without feeling nervous or ashamed. DSMBARBELL is my new home and will be my home for a long time.

Fantastic experience: DSM Barbell caught my attention while I was killing time on IG. I was impressed with what I saw and decided to purchase a day pass. Within minutes of purchasing the day pass on their website, the owner provided me with the info I’d need to access the building that same day. I had a great experience, got in a tough workout, and met some friendly people. I’ll DEFINITELY be back sometime when the garage doors are open! I decided to by a DSM Barbell, LIFT DSM, shirt while I was there (they have some of the best gym shirts I’ve seen in town). It’s my new favorite Gym T-shirt and I only feel a little bad wearing it to other gyms. Lol! Go check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Last week I did the one day free trial, and the moment I walked in I knew I was hooked. This gym has all the equipment you need for any sort of workout plan. The owner Jake is a great dude and even helped me out on a Sunday night. Can't wait to keep progressing here at my new gym.
