North Shore Barbell is a powerlifting and strength training gym in Wairau Valley, on Auckland's North Shore. It was started by a group of lifters who wanted to train for strength without the constraints of a commercial gym, and it now has Eleiko powerlifting equipment and 24/7 access. Coaching is offered to help people improve their squat, bench press and deadlift. The gym supports the Auckland Powerlifting Association and the New Zealand Powerlifting Federation, and it is close to the Valentines buffet restaurant. Enquiries can be made through the website's form, or by Facebook or Instagram.
Its gym hours vary, so the gym asks people to get in touch before visiting. The gym is for people who want to compete in powerlifting as well as those who want to build strength. Our pick in Wairau Valley for a serious squat, bench and deadlift session.
