Warhorse Barbell Club - Philadelphia (PA)

5 /5 Mary Rodgers: Warhorse is an amazing community to be a part of! I originally joined when I wanted to get back I shape before my wedding. I immediately felt welcomed by owners Chris and Jaclyn, and worked a lot with coach Caolan. I had not done strength training for a few years when I joined, and Caolan helped me hone proper techniques and achieve my goals. I have continued my membership for a few years because of the inclusive and fun environment at Warhorse. The coaches have all been great, and Ahmad was an awesome addition! He is always encouraging and has helped me push through training plateaus. The training programs they write are challenging, and can be individualized to meet each person where they are. Warhorse has taught me how important consistency is, and I can tell how that has made me stronger. I had an initial goal of being able to chin-ups, and now can do weighted chin-ups. Thank you Warhorse!

5 /5 David Joyner: I started training here just over a year ago. I was looking for a place to incorporate lifting into my training program. As an athlete coming from a more endurance focused background, I had very little experience in the gym. The coaches at Warhorse are very patient while teaching me new exercises while also ensuring that I was performing each movement with proper technique. Every workout I complete at the gym feels very productive and has led to massive improvement in my race results. I highly recommend training at Warhorse!

5 /5 Alex Nagle: Warhorse is great! They create an inclusive environment welcoming to people of all fitness levels while scaling the workouts to help everyone reach their individual goals. Prior to joining, I spent a long period of time away from consistent strength training and joining Warhorse restored my focus and got me back to hitting PRs. I mostly train when coach Caolan is leading the class and his keen sense of when to push vs scale back intensity or modify programming has been invaluable in helping me make progress. Coach Gavin is also excellent and has helped refine my technique on difficult exercises, like the barbell front squat. Besides the coaching, the facility itself is also very well-maintained which makes for a productive training environment.

5 /5 Amanda Coffin: I joined Warhorse about a year ago and cant say enough about the coaches and programs they create for their members! I started in the StrongHer program knowing very little about lifting, and I quickly gained confidence and strength alongside a group of awesome women. When my work schedule changed, I moved into their small group classes, which are the perfect blend of independent work alongside personalized recommendations and supervision from the coaches. As a dragon boat paddler, I needed a spot to help me take the next step in my fitness goals, and Warhorse is the perfect place! The individualized attention and willingness to adjust workouts to fit my needs are exactly what I need to improve as an athlete. I have tons of other gyms around me, but I still drive to Warhorse because its that special.

5 /5 Natalie Alleva: Just started at this gym a few weeks back. It’s been such a breath of fresh air, from the way they structure the classes to their programming. You sign up for a time slot (no more than 8 per session) and already a program to follow for the day. I love how I can just come in and get started on my workout if I know what I am doing, but also have a coach there to talk through variations of whatever exercise we’re doing and truly have it cater to MY needs. All of the program can be tweaked to be customized in some capacity, it’s really great to feel heard from the coaches. I’ve already seen lots of progress in certain areas. They even have helped me through an injury in the last few weeks and have made me feel confident about getting back into certain moves that otherwise I would avoid. Love this gym and can’t wait to see where it takes me physically and mentally. They even offer a bit of a discount for households so my fiancé and I are able to capitalize on that AND workout together!
