WHAT IS YORK COUNTY BARBELL?

WHAT is York County Barbell?

York County Barbell is an inclusive space for anyone and everyone to improve their strength, athleticism, coordination and balance through Olympic Weightlifting and Strength and Conditioning. We don’t care if you’re a teen or in your 80s we’re here to help you reach your goals.

We help people gain a new sense of confidence that they carry into the other areas of their life. We help people get stronger for their daily lives whether it’s playing with their kids, carrying groceries into the house, or on the job carrying heavy loads in precarious ways. We build strong resilient humans.

You may see photos or videos on our site and social media of our athletes competing, and yes that is a big part of what our community does, however that’s not the only reason our athletes/members come into the gym. You may have no aspiration to compete and you can still come in and push yourself on a daily and weekly basis to get better and stronger.

We believe in educating our athletes on proper movement and function before moving heavy loads(unless you have previous lifting experience). So when you are just getting started with us the intention is to move safely with little to no weight then build you up. We never want you to feel like we’re throwing you into the deep end.

We are located in Berwick Maine right outside of Seacoast NH (Somersworth, Dover, Rochester, Portsmouth) and a stones throw away from Portland Maine. If you’re interested in learning more about us or how we can help you in your fitness journey please reach out to info@yorkcountybarbell.com .
