Moved across the country and saw great reviews for this gym. Immediately welcomed by Carlos and his wife, Paige. There are so many exceptional aspects of this gym. The coaching is amazing. Between Amanda, Carlos and Sean, they have many years of experience between them. The classes are small enough that you can get the 1:1 help you might need or want to hit your heavier lifts. Carlos is great at programming the lifts we don’t always want to do, but need to do. There is a huge emphasis on technique here which I really appreciated. All the athletes here are respectful, including the space and equipment. The space was very clean, too. In the 90 days I was here, going to Calavera Barbell was my favorite part of my day. I’m so happy with my growth (10 lbs increase for my snatch) while I was here and all the great people I met. Couldn’t have done it without their support and I look forward to returning! Go Calavera Fighting Wombats!

I have had the pleasure of doing a few competitions here. The volunteers and coaches are very knowledgeable. The environment is very family oriented and every time I enter the building someone goes out of their way to great me. I would recommend Calavera without hesitation.

After moving from the East Coast, I found this gym after a random Google search. I stopped by to check it out & the owner was so nice that I joined. It's been 3 years & I love my Calavera FamOLY. Great space to work out, even better group of members/coaches that care about you.
