Don’t let the name fool you into thinking that Heavy Metal Barbell Co. is just one of those “Go big or go home” types of businesses. Whether you are a competitive athlete or a “newbie,” you will be pleasantly surprised because they are able to accommodate the needs of anyone aiming to get fit, get toned or get strong.

First off, this convenient, centrally-located downtown business has lots of parking right in front. That’s right... downtown AND parking!

Secondly, they’ve got everything… yoga mats, fitness accessories, small dumbbells to heavy ones, weights (rubber-coated too), a huge variety of bars, belts galore, cable accessories, protein and other supplements, gloves, straps, cardio equipment, multi-function systems, kickboxing supplies, heavy-duty equipment, travel fitness sets, and most importantly, qualified people with experience who can actually tell you how to use these correctly.



In addition, they are the exclusive distributor of Life Fitness equipment (the one’s you’ve seen all over the place with trainers, treadmills, bikes, etc.) and PowerTec (the leading heavy-duty plate-load) equipment—killer strong.



Finally, a place where Service IS the way they do business and Kevin Yoshida, the owner, exemplifies this. I found Kevin to epitomize customer service—something that more businesses today need to focus on. No macho, muscleman attitude to deal with… just sincere, knowledgeable, and helpful people that you can trust.

I’m making Heavy Metal my first stop for exercise supplies and equipment and for a refreshing bit of old-style, local business carrying modern innovations in exercise.

Heavy Metal Barbell Co. - 627 South St, Ste 102 (808)536-7323.
