Fantastic experience: Great Facility with a real Team/Family feel of not only great equipment but vast knowledge and great human beings and something for all fitness backgrounds and needs!

Fantastic experience: I knew from the initial assessment this place was special and would be a big help to me. Coach Andrew has worked with me to become stronger in my 40s than I ever was decades before. What started as looking for a running coach has now transitioned to overall strength training, adding in some golf conditioning and a switch from the big commercial gym. Couldn’t agree more with others- it’s a family feel, you are treated with kindness and care for your goals, the equipment is awesome and they keep the place so clean and filled with great music! I am always impressed to see the diverse clientele from beginners to high school/college athletes to power lifters. You feel part of a community and something great here. Highly recommend giving it a try!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at all kinds of gyms throughout my life and west indy barbell takes the cake. This place is perfect for anyone at any level of experience when it comes to fitness. The owners/coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. Membership is beyond reasonably priced, 24 access, coaching, ice baths, all the toys you could ever want for lifting, and a friendly atmosphere makes this place the easy option.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere and have about every exercise equipment you can think of.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Beyond happy that I made the move and commitment to this gym. Everyone there is all about progress and helping you in making you the best you can be! Team like atmosphere and more support than I could ever dream of! Quickly becoming a second family! 10/10 would suggest West Indy Barbell!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Great equipment and location. Staff is friendly and always helpful in whatever way possible. Some very strong lifters and athletes moving through here. They put on very well run meets as well. Well worth checking out and joining up!

Fantastic experience: I was working out at a big gym previously, and I will never go back. I am still new to lifting, but I am already in love with this gym and the people! Even though I am a beginner I haven't felt intimidated once. Within the 10 weeks I have been a member, I am already improving and making huge strides in my strength & fitness. I would recommend West Indy to everyone!

Fantastic experience: West Indy is truly the best gym I’ve worked out at. I was a D1 shot putter and got to work out in some of the best facilities in the state, yet West Indy tops them. The atmosphere, the equipment and the people who run the business made this place a new home. They have everything you need whether you’re losing weight, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, CrossFit, combat sports, track n field, etc. It can be as hardcore as you want it to be, but it’s never intimidating to newbies or new members. Check this place out if you’re serious about any fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to West Indy for a while now. I came a few times before covid, but after the numbers started studying I felt so much more comfortable coming to this gym versus LA fitness. A gym more for specialized lifting versus casual"working out". The access and equipment available is great

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great environment and awesome people. They are professional and care about the members. Best gym in Indy!!

Fantastic experience: Most definitely check this place out. Owners are awesome - nicest people you will ever meet. Every member I have met here, I can also say the same for. Absolutely love this gym. 24/7 access for members, the ability to hook up to the speakers to blast my music (!!!!!!!!!), every machine/equipment I could need, and the shower on site are some of the top reasons I love this place. Very easy to communicate with them through Instagram. Perfect gym for a drop in as well.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality The culture of West Indy is very welcoming and Comfortable, My teammates and I felt accepted and welcomed training here despite the age difference. I’ve learned a lot of knowledge and found a great environment in West Indy Barbell!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in indy no contest! Coaches are super knowledgable about programming training to any client that comes in the door. Community as a whole a very welcoming and one of my favorite parts of the gym are the signs on the wall that list the three rules ”rack your weights” ”be courteous” and ”get better everyday!”

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and excellent personal training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been on the powerlifting program at West Indy for a year and a half now and I cannot say enough good things about it. Right off the bat the coaches were helping me with form, teaching the “why” behind the exercises we were doing, and giving constant encouragement. The environment is so welcoming and you feel like part of a family!! West Indy is most definitely a second home for me.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place and awesome people

Fantastic experience: If you’re on the internet looking for a gym to achieve whatever goals you’re looking to accomplish - West Indy is that gym. The coaches take genuine interest in making you better and individualize training to get you there. The lifters come from all walks of life and are eager to welcome everyone who come through the door. Any piece of equipment you need to improve is available and the owners constantly invest back into the membership. Check out their instagram @westindybarbell for proof.

Fantastic experience: Love working out here! Feels like family. Definitely recommend this place is you’re looking to improve your powerlifting training and overall strength!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and very knowledgeable staff! I had a high school athlete patient in whom I suspected a pulled groin, but was not improving with treatment. West Indy appropriately determined the cause for his pain, started him on rehab, and now he's posting his best track times ever! These guys know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and facility, feels like home!

Fantastic experience: Badass place would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: West Indy has fantastic, helpful, and knowledgeable coaches! Lifters range from beginners, powerlifters, oly lifters, bodybuilders, and other athletes looking to gain strength. Great community, awesome equipment, and all around five star experience. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Olympic lifting, movement correction, speed work, supportive atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Trained at WIB for the first time today. I've been in the strength/fitness business for almost 10 years, and have an exercise physiology degree, so I know silly B.S. when I see it. You won't find any of that here. This place is great. Everything you need to train for strength, nothing you don't. Andrew (the owner) seems like a super solid guy, and the other people I've met here all seemed very friendly as well. It's not the typical meathead environment that you might expect in a gym filled with very strong people. There are no shirtless sweaty guys yelling and slapping each other around, and there is no blaring death metal music. An acquaintance of mine takes his 7 year old daughter here to be trained, and there are several middle and high school aged kids who train there as well. The facility is clean, it has heat and AC so it's comfortable to train in, and it doesn't seem crowded from what I've seen so far. The equipment is of high quality, lots of Rogue and Texas Strength stuff. For those who move serious weight, they've got a monolift with a number of different specialty bars (buffalo bar, safety squat bar, etc) and calibrated plates. There is also a competition bench and a reverse hyper. The staff utilize evidence-based training principles to drive strength gains. You won't find any trainers here who think the way to get strong is flopping around on a bosu ball with 3lb dumbbells. If you want to really improve in a legitimate manner, this is your gym. Overall, 5 stars. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and knowledgeable staff. They have been instrumental in my development and helped me set a state record for raw bench. Thanks Andrew and Darwin!
