Both Movement and BRC are good, they have slightly different vibes so it depends on what you're looking for. Movement has a bit more of a young hip scene and BRC has more of the seasoned climbers. Movement has childcare and both gyms have classes included in membership though Movement may have more options. I like both for routesetting, but actully prefer BRC because Movement gets really crowded and is too much of a scene for me. Movement is more expensive, and BRC has trade days at the Spot if you like bouldering.

Powerlifting gyms in Boulder or surrounding area? Hey all,
I'll be in Boulder over the summer, and I'm planning on living in Boulder once I graduate. One thing I...

If you want a real PL gym you have to go to Denver. In Boulder the CU rec center gym has decent equipment: 9 racks, 6 benches, 3 platforms, a GHR, 3 full sets of Eleiko competition bumpers and an Eleiko power bar. The downsides are that it can get crowded and if you're not a student it could be expensive.
There are about 4-5 of us who regularly train together there and we go to all of the USAPL meets around CO. My training partner and I are both USAPL CO state referees.
We're always happy to lift with new people and we're at the rec center 3-4 times a week. If you want more info or want to meet up at some point feel free to PM me or reply here, whatever's easiest.
By the way, there's at least one PL meet here over the summer, near the end of July, if you're looking to compete.

I recommend staying away from the 24 Hour Fitness on 28 th street if you plan on deadlifting. They have octagonal plates that make it a real pain in the ass. My roommate goes to Flatirons Crossfit and I hear they kind of cater to Olympic & powerlifters. Have no idea what the registration is like.

Mountain’s Edge fitness has a few power racks and enough weights that you can do some powerlifting there. But there’s rarely more than one big guy in the gym at a time, so don’t expect to find a power lifting group there. You probably won’t even be able to get a spotter for your heavy lifts. Otherwise Boulder is not a serious weightlifting town. If you want to do power lifting you’d be best off picking a different town or finding a different hobby.

There is not a powerlifting gym in Boulder. You would need to go out of the city. I would not want to have to drive on 36 just to go the gym, though. What kind of rates are you looking for and what equipment do you need? There are some well equipped gyms in Boulder, but I'm not aware of one with a reverse hyper, for example.

Not that I want to suggest it, but Colorado Athletic Club Boulder location is suited alright for power lifting (as far as Boulder goes). They only have two squat racks though, but one is on a platform, and they do have bumpers. The reason I don't want to suggest it is because it's always crowded, and the squat racks are typically monopolized by a triathlete doing 95 lb squats for 45 minutes in a row.

I'm glad you found Barbell Strategy and that its opening date works for your timeline. It is run by really good people, FYI (no affiliation, just know the owners socially).

Hi Redditors! I didn't know this thread was going on until I saw the referrer link on my web analytics. I love that you guys found us! We are now officially open for business. We'd love to have any redditors in the area to come work with us. We're a serious S&C gym targeted at the average human, not just the elite athlete. We're hidden in the back of the Basemar shopping center at Broadway and Baseline, behind "The Egg and I" restaurant: [Map](http://www.barbellstrategy.com/p/visit-us.html)
