Powertec Workbench Power Rack
Clinton O.

This place is a hidden gem. I haven't visited Heavy Metal Barbell since they were located in the Westridge Shopping Center in Aiea years and years ago, but I'm glad they are still around. I wanted to convert a spare bedroom into a home gym and found everything I needed here. The staff was very accommodating with my questions and last minute changes to my purchase. Even better, everything was delivered and installed in three days! Customer service is on point, both in the store and during delivery and setup in my home. You can't beat their delivery and setup charge, which is a straight up bargain. I'll be back again soon when their next Powertec stocking order comes in. Thanks again guys.

Ultra 40 Liver Tablets
Bryson B.

First off I have nothing but good things to say about Heavy Metal. I have been taking Ultra 40 for years now. Liver pills. I've noticed an increased energy throughout the day especially on contest prep. I recently have had a mishap which has set me back and ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding. I went from 16 to 7.4 hematocrit in just a day. I was admitted for 3 days. The tear has healed and was discharged. I left stable at 7.4 hematocrit. I had to make a plan to get my hematocrit back upto normal rage as fast as possible so I once again turned to Ultra 40 liver pills. I have done my research and used 5 pills between each of my meals which I eat 6 meals a day right now. In just 2 days they pulled my blood to check my hematocrit numbers again. I am up from 7.4 to 7.6. Praise God! I truly believe that with Ultra 40 apart of my regimen it really help the red blood cell count go up. With the Ultra 40 I should be back to normal range in 4weeks which is perfect timing for me to compete at the Nationals Bodybuilding Show in Texas. Thank you Kevin! Thank you Heavy Metal! And Thank you God for giving me another chance at life to full fill my visions that you have given me. God is GOOD!

Home Gym

Biggest Mahalos to Heavy Metal Barbell Co. for their service and expertise. With all the COVID shutdowns, I thought it would be ready to make my own gym. It's been EXTREMELY difficult to buy weights, equipment, etc. because of the price gouging. Heavy Metal Barbell Co. was there for me when I needed bumpers for my CrossFit home Gym. They were friendly and courteous, even during these trying times. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Heavy Metal Barbell Co.

The ownership and staff are knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The equipment selection is plentiful and fairly priced. Delivery and Setup (only $60) was fast and easy. I really couldn't have had a better experience. Big or small, look no further for your home gym needs. Thank you to Kevin and the rest of the team at Heavy Metal Barbell.

Placed order in September to have shipped off Island to Kaua'i. One Big item was out of stock. Told we'd be contacted when it was in stock and entire order would ship together. They'd hold the remaining items on the side for us in the meantime. Ended up not being contacted for some time. They ended up following up later, and apologized profusely. Holidays are busy times. They even ended up being willing to pack up a sliding miter saw and saw stand to ship along with our big order. Kevin kept in touch the entire way, updating us on when it was packed up, shipped etc. Honestly if this was a big box chain we'd have given up. This is a local, family run business with great pricing on quality equipment. The initial visit was great and they had or could order everything we wanted/needed. We looked around the island and didn't really find anything that could compare to the quality for price.

My fiancé and I are getting married later this year and are wanting to get in shape for the wedding and to have a healthier lifestyle. We did the go to the gym deal but it became hard with clashing schedules. Kevin help us choose a rack and weights, bar and bench for our needs. He's very informative and friendly. He's very knowledgeable in the industry as he has practically set up most of the gyms on the islands. I highly recommend checking this place out and buy local. He has the best of the best equipment and good prices.

HMBC Leather weightlifting belt that lasted forever! Monday August 26, 2019
Tod K.

The first time, that I bought weightlifting equipment from this place. They were in the west ridge shopping center in the back parking lot. Then I remember buying stuff from their store on Waialae Avenue too. Then I haven't bought anything for a very, very long time. Until now, when I needed a new bigger waist size and a more comfortable weightlifting belt and weightlifting gloves with the wrist wraps that helps when I try to lift heavy again. The store is on South Street across from the fire station which is on the left side of the street and HMBC is on the right side of the street right after Motor Imports Toyota parts and repair center. The guy or the owner of the store that was working when I went there was very friendly and very helpful in me finding what I needed right away. That's great customer service! He had what I needed and I will be back when I need more stuff again. The products that I bought before way in the past lasted forever! Great quality stuff!

Upon walking in, we were asked if we needed help finding something. Immediate yes from this mom who has only a slight clue on what was needed lol. He was extremely helpful. My son tried on a few helmets and then he pumped air into his chosen helmet. This is something I did not know about. Next up was the shoulder pads, back plate, practice jersey and pants. The guy was very patient in getting my son into the right size. We went with the Riddell speed flex helmet and although it was pricey, I believe it was a good investment and the best idea to try it on in store even though it was a bit cheaper online. If you need the gear immediately, then this is a great shop and they are open on the weekends.

And we have a store here in Hawaii too--located along Ward Ave between Waimanu and Kawaiahao Street with plenty of unshaded parking. The inside is very open, clean, cool, and comfortable. Everything was quite organized and each section was spacious. The first time I came here I couldn't really understand how most of the clothes aren't even for Hawaii weather..... or Hawaii pockets.... unless you travel to many places to do winter sports and activities. Funny enough, I received a gift card for Pantagonia shortly after my first visit. Now that I need to actually buy something. I focused on the casual, running/training, ocean activity areas. Needless to say, everything was quite expensive in my opinion. The quality is there and the clothes do feel similar to other brands. Is it worth THAT much though? My co-worker says this place is like the Lululemon for outdoors. Sounds about right. Overall, this store was really nice, cool, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything really organized. It's quite niche. I guess if I need some ice climbing gear, I'll know where to go. Eventually I got a pair of shorts. Regular price is $135. Thankful for the gift card cause I'm not on THAT level...yet.

We left with 5 or 6 more shirts from here so to us, it's definitely worth checking out if you're big on location specific stuff.

But there's more! there are batting cages that you can rent or have some hitting time. We usually come here for the boy to hit with Coach Jamie Ahu. Yeah, that Jamie Ahu from UH time. He has three teenage boys that are awesome baseball players. Anyway, the boy practices his hitting with Coach Jamie and most of the time, I am watching him hit. It gets really noisy in the batting cages. My watch tells me that it's too loud! There are screens up that would say where the ball potentially goes depending on how it is hit. It's pretty cool. Anyway, the batting cages make up a good portion of this space. The other portion is the store. The cashier is towards the back. Don't worry, they have to let you in if you are gonna buy something or even look around. I think the prices are fair. But I am not always buying pants, bats, or gloves. If you are a serious ball player, you must come here at least once to check this place out.

I joined the new Aloha Vintage Base Ball Association this year, which had led me to businesses I…read morenever knew existed. This is one of them, and boy is it cool. This store focuses on baseball equipment and apparel, including shoes, but also has a full indoor area for batting and pitching practice. They have a few dedicated stalls right outside up the ramp, ring bell to be let in. They have jerseys, cleats, gloves, belts, training gear, bats, balls, and anything else you could need. If they don't have the exact thing in stock, they can order it. The associate Ella working that day was very friendly and immediately helpful to find what I needed. I purchased shoes and a belt; they had just the sizes I needed and she was patient to help me find just the right things. I thought their prices were reasonable, plus it's great to support a local business over ordering online and potentially not getting what you need on time. I'd love to come back and check out the cages sometime soon. If you're a baseball fan or need equipment for school or community leagues, this is a great spot!

You have 30 days and you can get something else. They cannot survive as a business if they allowed refunds because tourists would buy gear, go hike or climb with it during their visit, and returned it afterwards. That would be a rental business!
