Chicago Barbell Compound

The new owners have brought back the original "Chicago Barbell Compound," to bring back a tradition Chicago Barbell Compound was originally opened in 2012.

The former owner had dreams to build one of the most hardcore gyms in Chicago and that's what he did. Eventually, he would change the name to "The Barbell Compound," which suited the culture within the gym to fullest. So many big name powerlifters and bodybuilders worked out here and would visit when they were in Chicago just to get the opportunity to experience the madness that is now called Chic
