North Augusta Barbell Coaching

What people are saying:

  • “I wanted to learn how to safely perform Olympic lifts & Olga came highly recommended by other athletes/friends. Once I saw she was opening her own gym I decided that was my sign to go for it! Our 1:1 lessons are fun, challenging, and her coaching is top notch! Her custom programming builds on the fundamentals & gives me the confidence that I can train safely by myself. NAB is a very encouraging community with athletes from beginner (me) to elite levels; all are welcomed! The facility is clean, organized, with quality equipment! 10/10!”

    Charina V.

  • “I have known Olga for years as an athlete and a coach, and I can’t say enough good things about her and her gym. Olga is extremely attentive and invested in her athletes. She creates customized programming, adjusts for specific needs, and gives constructive feedback for those wishing to grow in the sport or whose wishing to just have fun and be fit.

    I love the feel of North Augusta Barbell. The facility is very clean and the equipment is top-notch. I’d recommend this spot for anyone interested in weightlifting!”

Was fortunate enough to be able to drop in for a training session when visiting town for the holidays and was welcomed with open arms and a wonderful experience. Between top of the line equipment, the most friendly community, and without a doubt the best coaching you'll find in the area for weightlifting, this is the location you'll want to come to whether you are a beginner looking to get started in the sport or an experienced lifter looking to be pushed towards your accomplishments.“
