This place is perfect. 24/7 access with your own key FOB, dry sauna, showers, lockers, and all the equipment your heart desires. Cheaper than you would think to join and never regretted a moment of being there. I never got a training session from Mike, but seen him working with a ton of happy clientele over the past few weeks. If you’re looking for a great gym, would 100% recommend checking this place out πŸ€™πŸ€˜

If I could give this gym a negative stars review, I would. Their customer service is terrible.I have been getting mail for Andy Reed for over a year. I have marked it β€œreturn to sender”, called this location multiple times, left multiple messages for Greg(?) to return my call with no response from anyone.None of these actions have worked.I am still getting these letters.I stopped by today (3/13/21) to try to resolve the matter. After asking to speak with the person responsible for billing, a man said that was him. After explaining my situation, I was immediately met with aggression by the guy on duty. He told me I needed to speak to the owner. When I told him I already tried that, he responded β€œI don’t know what to tell you.”As loathe as I am to say this, I can’t recommend supporting this local business. A corporate business (like Gold’s Gym or the YMCA) would have resolved the issue immediately.****Once again, I have called your business with no one answering the phone.I have reached out many different times, through several different ways, and this issue is still not resolved!Its very simple, stop sending me mail for someone that I dont know.Its really that simple.

Been going here a few years now. It’s a good facility and it’s a local business here in candler. Very convenient to my apartment. Great training staff here. The equipment is a bit dated but it is maintained. I also feel that the prices are reasonable.

I love this place. They have everything you need and the best part is that they are open 24hr. Workers there are very polite and just chill! I love the rugged look of it all. Makes you feel like you’re in one of those body builder gyms πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ I’m definitely recommending this place to everyone!!

For me this gym works perfectly. Its low-key and not flashy like some of the other gyms but thats perfect! I like the fact that its locally-owned by a small business owner and not some corporate behemoth. The gym has plenty of weights and plenty of machines and areas to do stretches and cardio and such. The staff and patrons are friendly. The 24/7 option is great so you can come anytime. I definitely recommend this gym!

WNC Barbell is a wonderful place to workout. With plenty of equipment and very spacious facility. Especially like the Hammer Strength machines and free weights. They always keep the place clean and it is a 24 hour facility which gives plenty of flexibility. I highly recommend this facility for all your workout needs

Weights, bars, and machines well maintained. Stays clean. Large open area so even on busy days it doesnt seem too crowded. Multiple bench and squat racks so rarely a wait for your lifts. 24 hour access is a great plus.

I feel very comfortable at Barbells gym. They allow me to watch FOX news while I am on the treadmill. Everyone is friendly, and helpful. Some of my friends also use Barbells so that is great. I feel very safe entering and leaving---- that is also important to me

Fantastic gym with a real and authentic feel to it for people that want to work hard. You feel like youre in an 80s bodybuilding magazine. More than adequate equipment for your workouts and a clean environment makes this a great gym that Id recommend to anyone with a passion for lifting.

WNC Barbell is a great gym! My wife and I have been members for around five years and have really enjoyed the small-town feel over the big box gyms. The facilities are kept clean and the 24-hour access is very convenient! If youre looking for a gym for weights, cardio, or fitness classes, Barbell is the place to go!

Review β„–15

I’ve been a member of this gym for several years and I like that it’s a bodybuilding style gym. No frilly classes, just weights, machines and people working hard.They have personal trainers and also a studio for marshal arts in the same building (priced separately).I’ve always been treated well by the owner and the staff is really nice too. It’s open 24/7 and I always feel safe working out even late in the evenings.I miss being able to come work out here now that it’s been closed during covid-19.

WNC Barbell is a great gym! It is clean, comfortable, and homey. The employees are kind and ready to assist. The people who go to the WNC Barbell are also super friendly and gives off a sense of being a part of the community. Overall, it is a great gym.

WNC Barbell is a great local gym with something for most folks. It has a large free weight area, machines for those with limited mobility or those inclined to a safer method for weight bearing exercise and treadmills for indoor walking and running. There’s also spin machines and limited programmable exercise bikes. There’s a padded floor exercise area and an adjacent martial arts school as well as a classroom for senior exercise classes or other activities.You can even access the equipment 24 - 7 for those working odd hour shifts or other schedule restrictions.A qualified personal trainer and licensed exercise physiologist is available.It accepts Silver Sneakers which is a plus for us!

Awesome gym! Has all the equipment you need whether youre there to run on the treadmills, ride on the bikes, modern cable machines for the people that like to excercise in a civilized manner or the good Ole cold Steel for the ones who prefer to old fashion method. The staff is very friendly, always see someone cleaning the machines and the membership is fairly priced.

Review β„–29

My husband has numerous diseases which impact his balance, strength and stamina. I go to relieve stress and maintain/improve myphysical and mental health. Before COVID-19, I attended Silver Sneaker classes at the gym and hope to again. Mike and other staff welcome us when we arrive. Greg, owner, always acknowledges both us with a β€œ Hi”, smile and an often gentle teasing comment. The gym and bathrooms have always been clean!! Now the equipment is sanitized often by staff. In addition , all members are provided spray bottles with sanitizing liquid and cloths to use before and after using each piece of equipment. My husband and I highly recommend WNC Barbell on Sardis Rd for everyone including the serious athletes.

Review β„–31

So get this I had this girlfriend right I bought her a membership but I stole her from Colorado I was like she might leave to the owner of the gym and he put on the agreement if she leaves then will void out her side of the contract which I was paying for so she left I waited about a month just to see if she would come back She never came back So he voided out that part of the contract. Think about how crazy amazing beautiful and awesome that is.

Greg and the staff are very helpful with the proper use of the equipment and any questions you may have regarding nutrition. The facility and equipment is extremely clean. There is always chemicals and towels for patronts to use, and available. The atmosphere is always extremely friendly. I would recommend wnc barbell to anyone looking for a gym facility, or wanting a change. This is also a 24/7 facility, which I love.

Review β„–62

WNC Barbell is a great facility for those who are looking to really concentrate and focus on their lifts without distraction. This is what youd call an old school facility with no with frills and advertising.The gym consists of a large number of weighted cable machines and a large number of free weights. All of which, are well maintained. Surprising to see, especially with a cable row machine that sits on the floor. You feel like you stepped back in time. There are a good handful of treadmills, bike machines and ellipticals.I know the facility offers taekwondo and a silver sneakers program, as well as massage therapy (recommended).I chose this facility because it is not a flashy franchise with all the added extras you dont need in a membership. It has all I need and it is also open 24 hours. Weights and cardio.

Lower key local gym, with simple structural lay out, great range of machines, free weights (you wont run out of weights.....) and most important of all, it was spotlessly clean.
