RTS Barbell

RTS Barbell is a Cincinnati strength gym built for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, strongman, and independent conditioning. The training floor features six deadlift platforms, six Olympic lifting platforms, dedicated benches, combo racks, and a monolift. Lifters can work with specialty barbells, calibrated plates, and machines such as belt squats, reverse hypers, and pendulum squats. An eight-station rig, pull-up bars, turf, and Atlas stones support functional training and strongman practice. Conditioning equipment includes rowing machines, SkiErgs, Echo bikes, and treadmills. The range of equipment serves recreational lifters as well as athletes preparing for strength competitions.

Access is available around the clock, including holidays, through the Kisi mobile entry app. Members and visitors can purchase access online without visiting a staffed reception desk. Day passes and longer visitor passes are offered alongside standard and student memberships. Two private showers, including an accessible shower, and water bottle filling stations provide practical conveniences. Prospective members can schedule a tour with owner Kevin Kist. Independent coaches also provide training services at the facility under separate arrangements.
