The place is absolutely stunning. It is truly a testament to the blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into opening this place up. A lot of gyms that label themselves as "powerlifting" or "weightlifting" gyms don't have the equipment to back up the claim. This gym offers some of the highest quality equipment of any gym in the United States. Some examples include but are not limited to -Eleiko Equipment (Steel Calibrated Plates, Competition Bumper Plates, Collars, Bars, Rack) -Rogue Equipment -Kabuki Equipment -Specialty Bars -Dumbbells -Machines -Weight Trees Something that really differentiates this gym from others is that not only do they have the best equipment available, they have plenty of it. Several powerlifting gyms offer fantastic equipment, but in very limited quantities. Fortunately, Gameday Barbell offers a LOT of the best equipment! The struggle of having to walk halfway across the gym to get the "good" plates is a nonissue at this gym! The fact that this place is also owned by 3 very passionate lifters comes as no surprise at all. It is clear that they knew exactly what people wanted. The gym is run by people who care about lifting, and that's honestly something that is important with "specialty" gyms. Something that many people might not find important is aesthetics/vibe, but I think atmosphere is incredibly important for gyms. It makes lifting feel much more "home-y", and fortunately there are plenty of passionate lifters here! The gym is also very neat and organized, which adds to the overall beauty of it. Whether you are a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or olympic weightlifter, this gym leaves no holes uncovered. You will find pretty much anything you look for here. I'd recommend this gym to anyone in the Austin area. read more

I'm in the military, so I get to travel alot. I've been a powerlifter for a little over 3 years now and I've been to gyms all across the nation. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Gameday Barbell in Austin, TX is in my TOP 5 of best gyms I've been to. They've got everything from Eleiko combo racks and calibrated weight plates, Rogue 6x6 monster rack, to bodybuilding machines and dumbells that are high quality brand names. Lastly, the staff is a group of young guys that have a passion for fitness and love their community so you can only imagine how great their facility is ran. If you are in the Austin area I highly suggest coming in to see the gym. read more

We were headed to camp and decided to drop by on their grand opening day. You could feel the work, dedication, and aspirations coming from the building. They have a variety of gym equipment ranging from certified powerlifting platforms and plates to exercise machines, to accommodate the gym-goer. I was able to meet and have a genuine conversation with the co-owner, Richard Cho. You can tell the happiness and the sense of proudness that he had. I traveled with my dog and he welcomely allowed me to bring her in for the duration that I was there. Amazing experience, a definite visit whenever I go to Austin. read more

I recently moved to the Austin area (I promise not from Cali lol) and was looking for a solid weight lifting gym. I tried a few and then heard about Gameday Barbell so thought I'd give it a shot too. Not only is the space large, the equipment is top notch. I've only been weight lifting for about a year, but it's the best equipment out there. The facility is really nice and they allow dogs which is a nice plus. Highly recommend this gym if weight lifting is your preferred exercise! read more

I love it here. I visited earlier today to train during their open all access gym day. The equipment, music, and atmosphere is amazing. Andrew was so responsive on site and shared his personal contact info if i had any questions. That's customer service! Pug congratulated my friend who broke a PR, and that meant so much my friend. What positive vibes. The competition bars feel great. I know my strength and SBD will increase after seeing everyone here I can learn from. read more

The energy of this gym is IMMACULATE! They have quality equipment and merch! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I went during grand opening and when they invited the longhorn powerlifting team to come out. It was such a great experience and witnessing so many strong lifters at this gym has inspired me. I can't wait to transfer over to this gym next year and continue my powerlifting journey! Also they have the cutest dog ever!! Miso the doggie read more

I really enjoyed my time at this gym and i recommend everyone to visit this gym as it is a great experience :) read more

Great gym, Great community, got to meet my hero romezus when I was there. He showed me around and made sure I had a great time. The equipment was outstanding. From eleiko combo racks and competition plates, to tons of weight lifting equipment. Best gym in Texas. Also got to meet pug the goat, he was cool, but romezus by far was the greatest content creator in the facility. Be sure to come check out GameDay barbell if you are in Austin. read more

Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to visit Gameday yet since I'm located in Austria. Powerlifting isn't that big of a deal where I'm from! So you have to get used to shitty commercial gyms. From all the footage I've seen online, Gameday certainly is the perfect place for powerlifting and strength training in general! Should I ever be anywhere near Austin, I'll be sure to stop by and work out! read more

Gameday barbell is a top of the line facility with the best equipment and some of the most experienced powerlifting coaches and athletes.
