Old-school iron, modern coaching. Barbell strength, kettlebells and combat sports training in the heart of Monaghan.
Retro Barbell is Monaghan's home for serious strength and combat training. Since opening our doors in 2020, we've built a no-nonsense gym around the barbell, the kettlebell, and the mats — for lifters who want to get strong and fighters who want to get sharp.
Whether you're chasing a bigger total, learning to strike and grapple, or just want a gym that trains hard without the flash, Retro Barbell is built for you.
Every session is built around the barbell and the bell — with combat sports on the mats for those who want to fight as well as lift.
Barbell-based programming to build raw strength, power and work capacity.
Striking, grappling and MMA training for all levels, right in Monaghan city centre.
Old-school kettlebell conditioning for grip, core and full-body power.
Hands-on coaching that keeps technique honest and every session progressing.
