"I’ve been going to Spindell Barbell Club for almost 8 years, and it has been fantastic. As a college athlete, it’s rare to find a gym that truly supports sport-specific training. Bobby designed the gym to meet the needs of serious athletes while also creating a welcoming environment for people of all ages, experience levels, and goals. Bobby is always purchasing, updating, or even building new equipment based on what members need and what he notices is missing, which is exactly what you want from a gym owner. The 24/7 access is another huge plus; it's something you rarely find, especially at gyms that are actually worth training at. I’ve never had a single complaint, and I can’t recommend Spindell Barbell Club highly enough."

"Excellent gym with tons of strength training equipment. This is a gym for people of all ages and you will see that from it's members. Barbell exercising is important for every person as it makes you harder to kill than weak people and more useful in general. Most gyms map their floors with one squat rack and dozens of elliptical. Bobby has his gym decked out with multiple power racks, some of the best benches I've used, and a variety of different bars, implements, and gets new equipment when requested by his customers. Strongman training had been something I was interested in and this gym had everything to get a beginner started and able to compete."

"This is my second home. A great atmosphere with a bunch of hard-working people who motivate you to better yourself. Owner is always looking to improve the gym for his customers. Whether you are into strongman, powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, or strength and conditioning programs, all the necessary equipment is here to train. They have some nationally ranked athletes who train here that are motivation enough, working out next to them."

"I was at SBC for nearly 2 years and the atmosphere and community is hands down the best you can find in Massachusetts, seriously. Seriously debating driving an hour each way every weekend just to get some quality sessions in. New lifter, old head, powerlifter, strongman, bodybuilder, oly, or just general fitness, I swear you’ll have everything you need and supportive folks around if you need people to cheer you on."

Coach & Owner
Bobby Spindell
B.S. Exercise Science – Florida State University | NSCA CPT
30+ years under the bar. 20+ years coaching. I've been in the high school weight room, the collegiate locker room, and some of the highest-level strength facilities in the world — not as a coach watching, but as an athlete doing.
My style is built on two things most coaches separate: performance and longevity. I've trained for peak output and I've rehabbed my way back from serious injury. I bring both to every client.
The people who thrive with me are motivated, disciplined, and hungry to understand the why - not just follow a program. I don't want to push you through workouts. I want you to invest in the science so deeply that consistency becomes inevitable. The physique is a byproduct. Show up long enough, and it follows.

on working with Bobby
...I have been working out with Bobby for over a year and half. I have lost almost 10 pounds since the beginning. But the real accomplishment is in how I feel. My lower back pain and sciatic is almost non existent. I now have more muscle tone in my upper body. That even makes my daughters jealous. I have more energy and can walk/run longer distances. So do yourself a favor and check it out! What have you got to lose?
