The Bay Area’s best Olympic weightlifting gym

It all started when Kevin Doherty went to a strength and conditioning clinic in the winter of 1999 and sat in on a session with Tony Ciarelli. The session inspired Kevin to start Hassle Free Barbell Club.

We’ve been creating high level Olympic weightlifters since 2004. 24 years and 6 Olympic cycles later we have helped two of our own make it to the Olympics and 100’s more to Nationals and International Championships. Send us a message if you’re interested in getting started!
