Magni Barbell Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: This is a REAL gym with REAL lifters. Both men and women. Definitely a dedicated crew that takes training seriously.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Iowa City BY FAR. Wide selection of powerlifting and strongman equipment, monolifts, deadlift platforms, indoor turf for sled pulls and carries. Though the gym exceeds my needs for working out, it is the people that keep me coming back. Magni is a family and an unbelievably positive environment for serious and casual lifters alike.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Training environment that would be very hard to beat. There is an extensive variety of equipment, the expansion now allows for more indoor strongman and other non stationary strength training, and the people cannot be beat. Primarily a powerlifting gym but accommodates strongman, Olympic lifting, Highland game training and overall strength training. This gym with its welcoming committee of members doggos has people coming from all over to take in the training atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Ive been training here for a few months now...couldn't have made a better choice. The atmosphere is great and the people are very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great gyms offer 2 things; good equipment and good people. Magni has both!
Fantastic experience: If you want to learn how to train well this is the place to be. Not only excellent facilities and selection of equipment, but if you take the time to get to know people you'll discover a wealth of knowledge and experience available to learn from.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal place to lift. Great equipment and environment. Above all fantastic hospitality. I would recommend this gym to anyone serious about getting stronger
Fantastic experience: Been lucky enough to call this place home for the last 5 years. The gym being 24 hr access is a huge plus, but the fact that it has such specialized equipment makes it even better. Everyone there is more than willing to help spread their knowledge and cheer you on during a big lift. The new expansion with turf just puts the icing on the cake for the perfect gym.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in eastern Iowa, just expanded. Has everything you need for every group of lifters with a great set of owners
Fantastic experience: Great, friendly gym. It's more catered towards powerlifting but I've seen all sorts of exercises being done, nothing exclusive about it. I don't believe any classes are offered but just about everyone I've met is inviting and most are willing to give advice or knowlege about fitness. Just be prepared to be around some of the strongest humans you've ever seen in person. Some of the men and women here are national competitors, and the training I've seen proves that. In terms of equipment, there's two squat racks, a "monster" rack (I'm not sure the official name, but it is essentially another squat rack). Two bench presses, two deadlifting platforms, and a BUNCH of different bars, bands, straps, pretty much anything you need. There's a dumbbell rack with dumbbells going up to 150 lbs. And a few machines for leg extensions, pulldowns, and chest supported rows. Overall, a great gym if you're on a budget but still would like to work with barbells (looking at you PF). Not a Smith machine in sight. Only drawbacks that I can think of is that it's in a warehouse, and the only form of a/c is large industrial floor fans and opening the garage door. These work fine until the weather starts pushing 90°+, then it gets almost a little too hot to lift in. Also, you may have noticed there's not an abundance of racks to work with, so working in with others or adjusting your routine to accommodate should be something you expect walking in on busy days/times. But like I said, great gym, great people, perfect place for gains.
Fantastic experience: Met One of the owners on our way to Vegas. Awesome dude!
