Cherokee Barbell

Fantastic experience: Stopped in for an open house to check out the gym about a month ago. Coach Ayse was attentive and provided positive feedback to help improve my form. The atmosphere is very laid back, come and go as you please, while still providing the attention when necessary. The members there were all very friendly and inviting, as well. This seems like a place to go whether you are experienced or just starting out.

Fantastic experience: I have had phenomenal Olympic weightlifting coaching and nutrition coaching at Cherokee Barbell. The owners are professional, attentive, and take care of their athletes like family. Youth, adults, older adults, and all athletes new or experienced to weightlifting (Olympic or Powerlifting) are welcome here. I’ve known Coach Ayse for years and count her among my friends as well as my weightlifting coach.

Fantastic experience: I can’t tell you how much weightlifting (in general) and this team (in particular) have done for my strength, fitness, physical health, and mental health. Our coaches are always refining their skills, and they put everything into their athletes. Our members are such solid, awesome people. We have such a strong community — I commute 40-45 min to train here 4-5 days a week. It’s beyond worth it.

Fantastic experience: I live in Columbus, GA and spent Labor Day weekend in the Atlanta area. Cherokee barbell is an awesome barbell gym that I was able to drop-in to on a Friday morning. The owner, Ayse, is very responsive and passionate about helping people grow and improve in the sport. I look forward to future training sessions at Cherokee barbell in the future! ????????‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I’m new to Cherokee Barbell but have years of lifting experience. I’ve always struggled with squats and in ONE session with Rachel she determined what was causing my flexibility issue and was able to fix it immediately. My squats are better than ever! I highly recommend Cherokee Barbell. It’s affordable and the coaches are phenomenal, plus the training is completely customized to you! I’ve definitely found my new gym home!
