Our Mission

Creating strength training spaces that are fun, inclusive, and affirming — for all.

RCF Barbell Club, RCF SODO, and RCF Powerbottom are three separate facilities serving the Seattle/Greater WA Community. As a branch of Rain City Fit, our mission is to create a safe and welcoming space for all people—one that inspires joy, movement, and strength, empowers individuals and builds community, and provides top-of-line coaching and equipment you need to achieve your goals.

It is important to us that everyone feels comfortable in our gym. We recognize and celebrate the diversity of our members and will do everything we can to ensure that you thrive here. In particular, we encourage the participation of LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, women-identifying, and other people who may have felt marginalized in traditional gym spaces.

RCF Barbell Club

RCF Barbell Club is our first Barbell Club location. It’s also Capitol Hill’s only barbell/powerlifting gym. The Barbell Club has state of the art competition specific powerlifting equipment and a fun and inclusive community feel. RCF Barbell Club is welcoming to all fitness levels and membership includes access to RCF Powerbottom, RCF Barbell SODO, as well as our main Rain City Fit gym.

RCF Powerbottom

RCF Powerbottom (yes, that’s the real name) is the newest expansion to our Capitol Hill gym community! Located just across the street, it serves as an expansion of RCF Barbell Club. Powerbottom has 60ft of turf space and plenty of room for sleds, yokes, atlas stones, tires, and more specialty equipment for strength athletics!

RCF Barbell SODO

RCF Barbell SODO is located on 4th ave, about 10 minutes South of our Capitol Hill locations. SODO is our third strength training/barbell club location with an emphasis and specialty on Olympic Weightlifting. With 9 platforms and a plethora of Oly weightlifting training and competition equipment, we were finally convinced to build a gym with strong enough floors to withhold drops from over head! RCF Barbell SODO has group classes and membership includes access to all of our Capitol Hill locations.
