Log scale. Each tick is a listing; Barcelona Barbell Club sits between Halterofilia Barcelona and Across the Limits.

Analyst note

Two central sites (Gràcia and Glòries) built around platforms, power racks and calibrated plates, with no more than eight people on the floor. No showers: you came to lift, not to linger.

An iron temple. The bar respects you and so do we.

Rating: Iron TempleA PR here is worth more than the plates on the bar.
