OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING AT YORK COUNTY BARBELL
Whether you are a youth, junior, senior or master weightlifter, with zero or a ton of weightlifting experience, we're here to get you to your next level.
Unlike other gyms where athletes receive disassociated coaching, little to no feedback, and poor programming, YORK COUNTY BARBELL is the only gym in the area that provides the opportunity to enhance your technical understanding of the lifts, get stronger, and join a team that trains to compete. We have a long-term approach that develops well-rounded athletes, self-confidence, and mental strength that extends beyond the platform.
When you get started with us we don’t just throw you into group training and programming, our head coach is with you every step of your training. You will meet regularly with your coach to ensure your programming and development is on track with your goals while doing the majority of your training in a coached open gym environment. This means you get individualized coaching and programming without the price tag of personal training.
We offer competitive and non-competitive weightlifting, masters (35+) training, remote coaching, and open gym access.
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
York County Barbell
York County Barbell has been great. I tend to be cautious about gyms, but YCB is super welcoming. Stephen is a good coach, he worked with me and gave me training based on my personal goals. One of the most helpful things is he is present. I tend to have issues with motivation when by myself, especially when it comes to training. He also fosters a good community at the gym and I'm glad to be a member.

My time at YCBB was by far the most progress I've made with my workout regiment and physique. Coach Steven will know immediately how to help you improve, and guide you to where you want to be. I haven't met anybody with more knowledge about the human body and weightlifting than Steven. Hours are flexible and even if it's busy you will get your moneys worth out of this gym. I highly recommend it.
-Cormac
“I started working with coach Stephen because I wanted to get stronger and to learn how to lift. I've been working with him for about a year, and not only am I stronger and my lifting technique is dramatically improving, I've also gained a ton of confidence. I've never been someone who was excited to go workout, but I look forward to Barbell club and get excited to go! Stephen is patient, friendly, motivating and so knowledgeable on all things fitness. If I could give more stars to this business, I would!”
-SARAH FELDMAN
“I came into York County Barbell with no barbell experience, and after 7 months with Stephen I've been seeing consistent results in my body and a significant growth in my confidence! This community has both experienced lifters and those new to strength training coexisting and supporting each other's progress. Stephen is passionate, positive, and a world-class coach. If you're fortunate enough to be close to his space do not miss the opportunity to experience this top-tier training environment. This space is also a very inclusive one. It supports queer and trans athletes and all body types and abilities. Just bring yourself and the right attitude!”
-TIM ATKINS
Coach Stephen was one of the best coaches I’ve worked with on my Olympic weightlifting. He is able to pick out the smallest of details in my lifts to improve performance, and he gives pointed, simple, and differentiated cues for each athlete. The atmosphere in the room when Stephen coaches is always positive, and he’s genuinely interested in his athletes inside and outside the gym and that’s what sets him apart from the rest.
