    Strength Matters. Find YOURS with us.0

    Starting Strength is in Europe!

    Squat, press, bench and deadlift. From your very first session with us, you’ll learn all the terminology and how a barbell will reshape your body — every muscle, ligament, bone and tendon. The barbell is proven to be by far the most efficient tool for building strength, as it loads the body in a systemic way that cannot be duplicated by any other machine or fitness tool. We begin at a weight that’s right for you (maybe even no weight!) and coach you to achieve a strength you never knew possible.

    Why Strength?

    Strength is at the core of everything we do — all day, every day because it is the most general and fundamental physical adaptation we can make. Whether we’re carrying boxes, playing with kids, grocery shopping or participating in sports, the foundation is always the same: it starts with strength.

    People who are strong experience increased energy, stamina, coordination, balance, mental vigor and power. It’s the basis of health — both physically and mentally — and the most important change you can make for a high quality of life. So ... are you ready to get strong?

    The Barbell

    Squat, press, bench and deadlift. From your very first session with us, you’ll learn all the terminology and how a barbell will reshape your body — every muscle, ligament, bone and tendon.

    How We Do It

    At Brussels Barbell, we do things a little differently. Don’t expect a spin studio, hot yoga classes, or smoothie bars. We don’t have rows of cardio machines, and we don’t treat the gym like a fashion runway. There are no elastic bands, medicine balls, or kettlebells, and you won’t spend time performing random, inefficient exercises because your time matters, and we won’t waste it. We’re here for one purpose: to get strong. Whether you’re young or old, beginner or advanced, we look forward to supporting you in your journey.

    The Starting Strength Method

    Brussels Barbell is proud to be the first and only Starting Strength Affiliate in Europe. No other facility in Belgium guarantees its members a private platform, rack, bars, plates and access to expert coaching from a Starting Strength Coach — every time they train.

    Group Sessions with Personal Attention

    Our sessions are held in a small group setting, with no more than 6 people training at the same time. This allows us to offer personal, targeted, one-on-one attention, while also having fun in an environment that’s supportive and encouraging. Every work set you perform is meticulously and actively coached by a Starting Strength Coach.

    • Weight Loose : $250 / month
    • Personal Training : $500 / month

    I started to train with Steve a few years ago, after being stuck at the same level for years. I’m not as consistent as I'd like to be, but now I can move weights more than twice as much as when I started. It’s not just the increased strength - this knowledge I can use in other sports and everyday activities. Most importantly, though I work in an office, sitting over eight hours in front of the screen, I have never had any pain in my back or joints.

    “I reached out to Steve right after the first lockdown, as I realized I wasn’t physically and mentally ready for any global disasters. After a few months of real coaching and training with Steve, I managed to achieve what a couple of years of intense post-ACL surgery rehab in some fanciest-in-town sports physiotherapy establishments and self-training hadn’t allowed me to: not only I finally gained all my strength back, I am stronger than ever before.”
