I've recently joined BCB, a 12-week silver programme, and have been paired with PT Iain. I never thought I'd enjoy the gym again after going through ill health during my 20s and becoming unfit as a result. But, I am absolutely loving my programme - I look forward to going, and it's already building my confidence. My goal is to gain a little weight, get stronger, and get some control back over my body - which feels much more attainable with the accountability and the support from BCB. Iain is very knowledgeable, who has got to know me well and knows exactly what I need from each session. He's also been encouraging me to go to the gym by myself, providing step by step exercises through the Train Heroic app - again, something I never would have done otherwise. If you think the gym isn't for you, please try BCB - there are all sorts people training there for various reasons. Thanks to the BCB team! ❤️💪 Less

I want to start with the positives me and my girlfriend signed up for 12 weeks with a personal trainer we both have had a good experience with george (our PT), as he was very friendly encouraging and approachable, we had a 1 to 1 session per week and he was available text 24/7 for any advice. The gym itself is very well equipped and maintained with new equipment and the staff are welcoming.Unfortunately when we came to the end of our contracted 12 weeks we were looking for gym access only. Where upon we were quoted £95 per month per person this came as a bit of a shock due to knowing the prices that some other members pay (£39.99 pppm)In conclusion i would have been more than happy to give the gym a 5/5 if not for the cloak and dagger variable pricing strategy.

I was worried before I started due to a previous back injury, but I’m now able to back squat double what I could previously (prior to injury) and now working my way to my first unassisted pull up, and that’s all down to Abi and her amazing coaching. She sets realistic goals, and makes the effort to understand you and what you want to achieve. I’ve had coaches before, but Abi truly does go above and beyond =) Less

He’s fun, really knows his stuff, and somehow manages to push me just enough without making me totally hate him. I’ve gone from barely being able to lift anything to feeling genuinely strong, which I never thought would happen. I definitely credit him and his training as tbh, there's no way I could have done it on my own.If you’re thinking about giving it a go but feel intimidated, don't, it's a great place to train, and I’d 100% recommend it.

Under excellent instruction from Abi Gennard I have seen improvements to my fitness, getting stronger, increased cardio fitness and losing body fat but increasing lean mass. The equipment is excellent with plenty of variety, well layed out and always kept clean. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is well placed in Stourbridge. I can also go whenever suits myself as I work discontinuous shifts and can not commit to the same time slot each week. The training plans put together by Abi are challenging and get changed regularly so you don't become complacent or bored and it keeps the gym visits interesting and always moving forward. Less

After retiring early I knew I needed to put some work into my physical self. I had heard pretty good things about BCB and know a few folks who train there. So when one their adevrts caught my eye I took the plunge and after an initial consulattion with Lewis and I took the plunge into a 12 week Gold Ignition package. Well, I am in week 12 and have lost weight, gained muscle, look better but most importantly feel so, so much better. My Coach, Jack Tait, has been patient and given me just enough kick up the **** to make good steady progress. I was carrying knee injury when I started and we trained around that. Lately I have had recurring back / shoulder issue - no matter Jack has managed to provide meaningful workout programmes despite this. One to one coaching is not a cheap endeavour, nor should it be, and it is certainly quite an investment in monetary terms. That said I have certainly achieved far more than I would have on my own so have to reccomend Black Country Barbell and its programme to anyone thinking about it. This is just the beginning... Less

Everything I have experienced about BCB so far is top notch. From my initial consultation with Lewis through to the last six weeks of training with my coach James, everything is done to the highest standard. I have trained in many gyms before but none have 'felt/feel' like BCB does. Call it the 'vibe', the attitude or the ethos, whatever it is, it is having a positive affect upon my physical and mental well being. James makes sure every session is fun, interesting and tailored to my needs. He is meticulous when it comes to ensuring the execution of the exercises are performed properly and is always delivering clear info about what each and every exercise does and will achieve. Not just that, the 'banter' we share as we work together is a real tonic too. In just six weeks, I feel stronger, walk better, breath better, sleep better and have way less aches and pains than I had before I started. I'm motivated to improve and actually look forward to going to the gym, as I can already see (and feel) that I am getting fitter and stronger with every visit. As a 56 year old, overweight bloke, who has a desk job, I hadn't realised how much I needed to 'get fit' and it's clear that BCB will and are, playing a pivotal role in my lifestyle change. The other thing that is worth mentioning is that the gym has the most diverse group of members I have ever experienced in a gym. One might get the impression with the black paint and bold graphics, that the place is filled with muscle-bound 'Arnie' wannabes, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, there are some super fit men and women who train at BCB but there are way more 'normal' people like me training. When I trained the other day, there was as a chap who must've been in his 70's, and two ladies who were easily 65 plus. It's a very motivating and liberating place to train. Less

I’ve never been a gym bunny but I’m aware of all the benefits of strength and resistance training and I wanted to become stronger. That was my main goal. So I decided to give BCB a try.Always one to fully commit to something when I make my mind up, I signed up to the gold membership and met my coach, Jack Tait.I must admit, the prospect of PT sessions 3 times per week was a little daunting. However, 6 weeks in and the beneficial impact on my life and wellbeing has already been huge. Jack is fantastic and he knows exactly how to challenge me and get results. I look forward to every session. I even find myself in the gym when I don’t have a session!The improvement in my sleep quality and energy levels is fantastic. I’ve tweaked my nutrition following guidance on the macros I now need and I eat better and more than ever before. The body scans I get as part of gold membership have confirmed loss of fat mass and gain of muscle mass in greater amounts than I could have hoped in just a few weeks. Clothes I’d relegated to the back of the wardrobe fit again and I feel stronger.I couldn’t recommend BCB and Jack enough. I just wish I’d joined sooner! Less

Bright lights in gyms are a no no for myself. The music is always awesome to work out too, and you can add to the playlist!Genuine high quality equipment with plenty of racks available. I have never had to wait for a piece of equipment to come available!If I wasn't moving abroad I would be staying at this gym as it was always a pleasure to work out in! Less

Half way through a 12 week programme with Jack and couldn’t recommend this gym enough. Great choice of equipment and great atmosphere in comparison to other gyms.

Great gym facilities and equipment. Staff and gym members are friendly. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional.

I have been on a bronze personal training programme for 12 weeks at BCBB, and can honestly say, it’s the most comfortable I have felt in a gym, and I have used a lot. Iain my PT, has encouraged me to push myself while taking into consideration my fairly damaged knees and a shoulder injury.

Really love this place. If you’re not sure it’s for you, just swing by and check it out. You’ll see that it’s usually not too busy so you rarely have to wait for kit.

I know I will be a member and a regular of this gym for years to come. I well and truly have the bug and i’m loving my fitness journey. If you’re thinking about joining and want a great PT, you won’t get better than Jack, he is so personable, makes you feel it ease and is so knowledgeable! You won’t go wrong! Less

Great gym, Jack my PT is really informative, very knowledgeable and has made huge changes to my physic.

Joining BCB gym has probably been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.

Joining BCB gym has probably been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I'm in my 50's (the latter half of it!) with no real experience of strength training, but I had read about the age-related benefits it could bring to counter muscle mass loss and help build bone density. So I thought if I'm going take this up then I'm going to need to find a quality gym that caters for all levels of trainer containing coaches that specialise in a diverse client base. After an informal chat with Lewis at BCB I knew that this gym would be the best place for me to begin my strength training journey...I've just come to the end of the 12 week Silver training program with my coach, Iain, who has provided me with immense motivation and knowledge during the individually personalised sessions (3 per week). Although I consider this as just the start of my strength training journey I have noticed measurable benefits, both physically and with improvement in my mood. I'm learning a great deal from Iain and Lewis, and from others at the gym. I'm discovering the types of exercises and work out routines that suit me best, and understanding how the variation of techniques and session schedules can enable me to adapt my training as I progress each week. I also enjoy the continous learning experience gained from feedback during coached sessions and reviews of my individual training session.Lewis and his team have created a very inclusive and welcoming community environment at the gym where there is a diverse mix of beginner and experienced members. I look forward to every training session and strength training has now become an important part of my life! Less

I recently just finished a 12 week coaching package at BCB with Connor and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Having this be the first time joining a gym to lifting weights I couldn't imagine ever doing , I have really enjoyed the process of exercising, which I have found has helped my mental health and overall mood each week.The owner Lewis is so friendly and welcoming, he checks in regularly to see how training is going or if I have any questions regarding anything. All the staff are so welcoming each time I come and go and are very helpful with anything no matter how small it may seem.Connor is an amazing coach and his passion and knowledge of weightlifting really shows through his support he gives in his coaching.He is so patient and is always happy to explain key info in great detail, as well as give clear feedback on weekly updates, monthly goals and on overall working out techniques.My training plan was specifically tailored for me and focused on key areas that needed strengthening. I saw such progress each week and having a coach really pushed me to get out my comfort zone, become more confident and independent with lifting heavier. The support throughout my training really helped build my confidence and I always leave the gym feeling happy and motivated.I definitely recommend Black Country Barbell to anyone and thank them for all their support.

I wanted to restart my fitness journey after several years of excuses and neglect and found these guys online and booked a consultation with Lewis. After an honest and open chat about my goals and lots of questions answered, I felt this was the right place for me, where the people and the business genuinely care about you achieving your goals by understanding you and your situation.After my consultation, I was paired up with a PT named James who understood what I wanted to achieve and supported me in a style that suited me.On first entering the gym I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse mixture of the other gym goers, those who are regaining skills, just starting out or training to compete. What was clear was clear was BCB Gym is a place people feel comfortable to come and improve themselves in a judgement free environment.Facilities are fit for purpose, lots of parking nearby and very open and honest fee structure. There is also regular and relevant contact and support out of hours.Highly recommend to anyone, whatever stage they are at in their training/fitness journey. Less

BCB is a brilliant gym with a fantastic & friendly management team and a top notch set of coaches. I've walked past BCB gym many times on my way to the pub and occasionally been intimidated by sounds of clashing metal weights hitting the ground.

BCB is a brilliant gym with a fantastic & friendly management team and a top notch set of coaches. I've walked past BCB gym many times on my way to the pub and occasionally been intimidated by sounds of clashing metal weights hitting the ground. I never imagined I'd end up training there 3 times a week and actually enjoy it so much that I'd go before work at 7am ! My wife joined first and after 3 months doing a training program with a coach her fitness improved and her enthusiasm was so contagious that myself and my son joined too. 3 months later we are all regulars and we feel healthier than we have for years. If you've not weight trained before I highly recommend signing up to their personal coaching program. you'll be assigned a coach (personal trainer) who'll teach you the basics and get you up to speed asap. My coach (Iain) has been fantastic and in 3 months I've noticed a difference to both my health and physique. In our 1hour weekly sessions he managed to teach me a lot of his extensive knowledge, from the basics of weight training, to the best techniques to maximise my training gains. He also set me a program to follow on the other 2 days a week when I train on my own. I'm very impressed with the progress I've made under Iain's guidance and would not have made those gains without his knowledgeable coaching BCB Gym is very well run and managed, it's clean and in no way as intimidating as it might look from the outside. If you want to improve your physical and mental health I recommend weight training, and highly recommend BCB Gym and its coaching program. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Less

It’s a brilliant gym - staff really friendly and great equipment - a proper gym - Mena Health are definitely right in their reviews - Lewis is great and really helpful - I look forward to my transformation journey....

Fantastic gym that is a highly motivating environment where everyone is welcoming and friendly. The gym has so much equipment, great facilities and PT’s. I’m a regular guy who just wants to be able to move better, be less injury prone and feel good. So pleased I found this gym and I feel lucky that we have a gym that is of this high standard right on the door step. I’d highly recommend this gym ... More

Amazing equipment, great atmosphere, no other gym compares �

Succulent burgers, low fat fries and endless supply of Pom bears, beast gym around for miles 👍🏼

The best gym I have ever been to. Highly recommended

The best gym I've been to, up there with the best specialist gyms in the country. The amount of unique equipment available is unbeatable, when they have the only leg press outside of North America, which allows for unilateral and bilateral movements, to work on double or single legs movements, you know you're on for a winner, other equipment such as the leverage squats and personalised weights ...
