Gorilla Barbell Club

About

Gorilla Barbell Club is a free training and nutrition resource for people who actually lift — no account, no paywall, no app store required.

What you get

  • Workout programs built around a goal you pick: bodybuilding, powerlifting, general strength, fat loss, general fitness, fitness over 50, home gym and more
  • A meal planner and a library of recipes you can scale to any number of servings, with a grocery list that adds itself
  • Strength, body-composition and nutrition calculators that run right in your browser
  • A Learn library of plain-English guides on training, nutrition, recovery and supplements

Why it is free

Every calculator uses an open formula, every meal plan is built from a written recipe database, and every workout is assembled by rules from an exercise library. Nothing you use here sends a request to a paid AI service, so the site can stay free to use at scale.

Your numbers stay on your own device unless you send us something on purpose, like a coaching application or a contact message.

The coaching side

Gorilla Barbell Club is also a coaching practice run out of Lakeland, Central Florida. Online coaching is available anywhere, and hybrid coaching adds in-person sessions for local clients.

Coaching is intentionally kept affordable, and it is optional — the free tools are meant to stand on their own.

Where the information comes from

The guides summarize widely accepted training and nutrition practice rather than any single study. They are written to be useful to an average person, not to be a textbook.

Everything here is general education. It is not medical advice, and it cannot replace a doctor, a registered dietitian or an in-person coach who can watch you move.
