I cannot recommend Queen City Barbell enough--Todd knows his stuff and gave me a bunch of actionable suggestions on how to improve my deadlift and squat form. Each hour workout is jam packed with a barbell lift (squat/deadlift/bench/overhead press, etc), a ton of accessory lifts, and even some cardio so each session feels like a solid day at the gym without pushing yourself to the absolute extreme.
Todd is also just generally a great guy and makes powerlifting really accessible--would highly recommend him to anyone with any level of lifting experience!

I had never touched a barbell until five months ago, I had been a member at the Y and was curious about lifting so I tried a few barbell lifts on my own and quickly realized I had no Idea what I was doing so I started looking for a gym with a focus on weightlifting and that's how I found Todd at QCB. I am so thankful for him! Todd worked with me individually (as he does for each member) to create a plan to help me reach my goals. I love that everyday Todd already has the workout planned for me-- I don't have to think about anything, I just do the workout that he made specifically for me! If you are interested in lifting but don't know where to start, this is totally the gym for you!

New to the Cincinnati area and looking for a personalized, local gym to work out in and meet some new people, QCB was all of that and more! Todd delivers great programming and a serious workout that will challenge you no matter where you're starting at athletically. All the equipment, programming, and coaching is in place to help you improve and achieve your goals as long as you bring a good work ethic and a willingness to be coached!

Man.... words can't explain of how proud I am from putting all my time and dedication to this weight loss journey. All thanks to my brother/personal trainer Todd because he guided me to achieve my goals and pushing myself to the limit no matter how hard the workouts were. All that guidance that he gave me when it came to a diet plan or whatever, I applied it to myself. That led me to lose almost 20 pounds in 2 and a half months. I highly recommend anyone who is willing to put in the hard work to achieve their goals to come to Queen City Barbell. It's worth your money and time, trust me. Todd will help you to the fullest and he will push you to the limit but it is worth it.

I have been going to QCB for a little over 7 months now. I could not be happier with my experience at the gym with Todd, and the programs that he has cycled me though thus far. I have been strength training and working on my over all fitness over the last 15+ years of my life in various capacities. Like some people I have had my ups and my downs with my overall fitness level.
Over the years I have read many books, searched the internet, as well as participated in many lifting programs administered by coaches, and collegiate strength trainers in my quest for fitness. I have found Todd to be very well versed, in not just the what, but the how, and why of the various strength training, fitness, and nutrition theories out there.
I really enjoy being able to show up to the gym and get right into the workout with the program for that day already being laid out. This allows me to get into the gym and be as efficient with my time as possible. No waiting for a station to open up, or me searching for the different exercises on my phone for the program that I am working on. Its great to have Todd right at my side so I can ask whats next, he can explain/correct my form, as well as him to kick me in the butt every once in a while when I need it.
I have also found a lot of value in his stamina part of the training session. In the past when I would have a hard strength training workout, I would often justify omitting the cardio portion of the workout. But, having Todd around to hold me accountable ensures that there are no skip days.
My only regret is that I did not find the gym sooner. Not only is Todd a great knowledgable coach that has me feeling great, he's also a great guy to be around. My advice to you would be to give QCB a try.

Its the end of December 2017 and I go to put on my suit pants that I always wear to the Xmas lunch. Problem is they dont fit I cant button or zip them and my stomach is hanging over the waist band.I stepped on the scale and I was more than 20 lbs over my normal weight I knew then I had to start exercising again and eating better. So the first week of January a friend takes me to Queen City Barbell to meet Todd Siegel and go thru a trial run at the gym. After a one hour session I was hooked and havent looked back since. Todd put me on a weightlifting program to increase total body strength and build stamina. By the end of February I dropped all the xtra weight and was starting to show pretty good muscle defintion. During the first 60 days we also dialed in a nutrition plan to maximize weight loss and maximize muscle growth. By early April I'm flat out ripped especially in the abs and biceps. I constantly get compliments on the muscle definition and am repeatedly told my vertical jump is insane ( I play sand volleyball ) Im also 46 years old.
IF You have the determination and want to be stronger and healthier THEN Queen City Barbell Plus Todd Siegel will Equal results. Come See us at QCB for the proof !!!

I have been training at Queen City Barbell with Todd for over a year now. The experience has been fantastic. I started with no previous training or experience, and Todd has guided me every step of the way, from being completely out of shape, to stronger and faster than I have ever been. The process has been challenging but completely manageable, and one of the most rewarding things I have ever done for myself. The atmosphere in the gym is perfect, and Todd is great about being motivating without being overbearing. This makes every workout at Queen City Barbell a great way to relieve stress. If anyone is considering giving training a try, I highly recommend coming in to talk with Todd!

I have been a member for over a year now and can't imagine going back to a Globo type gym or Crossfit Box. The atmosphere is exactly what every gym should strive for; this is not a country club gym! The workout program has made a major boost in my mountain bike riding/racing which was the goal from day one. Five stars without question!

The thought of getting back in shape for a woman can be intimidating, specifically when thinking about the atmosphere of mainstream, big-box gyms. Upon my first meeting with Todd, I knew immediately that I was in the right hands. My workouts were basic, albeit tough for me, and were a great combination of weights and cardio. Todd knows how to keep you engaged, while staying positive and working towards the results that you're aiming for. A year later, I am proud of my results, and cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Queen City Barbell is an awesome place to go if you are looking to get stronger, faster, and lift with proper form! Since working with Todd, a shoulder injury that I had doesn't seem to bother me anymore. This is a great place for anyone to workout at but I highly recommend it if you are interested in or already in the military or first responder profession.

Todd has provided some of the most thorough training I've had to date. He tailors training to your specific needs, goals and abilities with more emphasis on proper form and safety than I've experienced anywhere else. It's apparent he's in the business because he really wants to be. If your looking for a new gym or a new approach or even just looking to start physical training for your first time ever I highly recommend QCBB. One last thing that may be important to some people...there is no ego flying around this gym, it's a very approachable and comfortable place to workout.

Amazing knowledgeable trainer (Todd) who resolved my knee and back problems while helping me get a lot stronger and more flexible, diverse surprising and fun workouts, great equipment, really nice friendly client base, terrific value, good location. Perfect for anyone who needs to build strength, improve mobility (including many of us with lingering joint pain), broaden their range of workout activities, or for anyone who's tired of making up their own workouts and wants some expert guidance. Can't recommend highly enough.

Queen City Barbell is by far the best gym I've belonged to for a variety of reasons. I have now trained with Todd for two years and can say I'd never go anywhere else. Having had a background in collegiate sports, my expectations were high for a personal trainer -- over the last two years Todd has stayed with me in my journey to pursue a career in law enforcement. As a result of his program I sailed through physical aspects of training. QCB prepared me for every challenge training demanded and MORE leaving me feeling STRONG!
The best part is that at QCB Todd will fine tune a workout program to fit your personal fitness goals/needs while providing you nutritional guidance to ensure maximum gain and satisfaction. If you're looking for a personal training gym, QCB is the place. Invest in yourself!

I've been a member of Queen City Barbell for one month. Its a complete paradigm shift from group fitness classes or a big box gym. The intro meeting is about your fitness goals, nutrition planning, and what you want to achieve. Combine this with an approach that centers around no frills, one on one training, and you have a great environment for results. Also, no contracts of any sort which is awesome. This is the best investment I've ever made in my health.

I came to Todd after breaking my back & foot and tearing muscle in my knee several years ago. I'd seen another trainer first that made my injuries worse, so I was skeptical of my abilities and expected to get hurt again. I was out of shape and starting to beat myself up mentally for not being able to do things I'd been able to before. Fortunately, Todd is just the right amount of laid back and encouraging and he's great at tailoring routines for your needs. I'm now able run, lift and ride horses again like my injuries never happened. Coming to QCB was the best thing I've ever done for myself. Going on 32, I'm stronger and healthier physically than I've ever been in my life. Do yourself a favor and pick this gym.
