As a 50-year old woman, I've started lifting weights to improve my basketball skills. I want to get…read morestronger so I'll have more confidence to stand up to anti-Asian harassment. The trainers at this gym are very observant, mindful and supportive. Members use apps to report our quality of sleep, mood, and soreness levels each day we train, so that the programs can be tailored to our capacity and motivation for that day. I appreciate that there are no mirrors and no music - just the sound of people working hard and getting stronger with occasional feedback from a trainer to ensure correct form. In just six weeks I have already noticed myself getting stronger and tackling more goals in my life outside fitness. Lifting weights is more meditative than I imagined; at SBWC it is practiced almost like a form of martial arts.

I just finished the intro class (waaaaah!) and I am hoping that a membership fits into my budget…read more(who am I kidding, I'm going to make it fit). I genuinely enjoy working out (insert joke about how runners are crazy here), and have been wanting to get into powerlifting for a while after being inspired by some of my friends who are really into it. I didn't want to pay for personal training sessions at my local Cr*nch, but rather I wanted to go straight to the real deal, a gym dedicated to lifting with specialized knowledge. I think I googled "Brooklyn intro to powerlifting" or something like that, and up popped SBWC. I read some reviews, checked out their website and thought OK, it's kind of scary to do this on my own, but I have to try. My class was relatively large (5-6 people at least), but I felt that Becca and Paulie (owners and coaches) were able to give us truly individualized attention. During class, you learn the proper form step by step and then get to practice. In addition to the baseline lifts, you learn accessory lifts, the best nutrition for getting and staying strong, and the culture/vibe of the gym. The intro class includes unlimited access to the gym, and they suggest you stick with the training sessions at first so that a staff coach is available to guide you. Both Becca and Paulie are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They make everyone feel welcome, from the hugest, most swole dude in there to the smallest newbie (that would be me). From seasoned lifters looking for some expert guidance in a great environment, or a brand new lifter with no idea where to begin, SBWC accommodates everyone on the spectrum of experience.

Gashford's training sessions mix Muay Thai and regular weight lifting with some cardio. In only a couple months, I feel much stronger and have noticed increased focus and energy during the day after each session. He also has helped with meal planning and explains the science behind his workouts which i really appreciate. I've never really seen more than 10-15 people in the facility at a time, and as someone who hates big gyms, it's a super welcoming environments for complete newbies like myself. Perfect place and trainer if you're looking to mix up your workouts and create a real life style change!

Upon taking a tour and listening to my goals, SevenBell placed me with Sergio who is a mobility expert and has experience training people with disabilities. In the last 7 weeks working with Sergio, I've gained more than just muscle, I've gained confidence in my body and the strength I have inside and out. He continually finds new, creative ways to push my limits and I actually look forward to what he cooks up every session, so much so that I booked sessions with him through the end of the year. I can't recommend him and SevenBell Fitness enough!
