Powerlifting gym in Tarragona

Bollodromo is built around the squat, the bench and the deadlift. Not as a marketing angle: the room is physically laid out for them, and the equipment is the equipment people compete on.

The equipment, specifically

• Seven competition power racks, Eleiko competition racks among them, so squat and bench never queue. Safety spotters, adjustable J-hooks, band pegs.
• Calibrated Eleiko and Maniak plates, over 3,000 kg of them. Calibrated, not cast: what you load is what you lift, which matters the moment you are working to a target total.
• Dedicated Eleiko deadlift platforms at standard dimensions with proper impact absorption. You can drop a heavy pull without anybody looking up.
• HiPower competition benches at competition height and surface, plus ATX and Titanium Strength for accessory work.
• 20 kg Eleiko Olympic bars and specialist bars, including the variations you need when a programme calls for them rather than when a gym happens to own one.

Coaching and competition

The gym is run by Daniel «Bollo» Villacampa, an AEP powerlifter who has competed since 2018 (his record on OpenPowerlifting), and the Ultra plan (€150/month) is built around that: coaching sessions, a programme written for you, video analysis of your lifts, and someone in your corner on competition day, handling attempts and warm-ups so you only have to lift.

If you want something more limited (a few sessions to fix a technical fault, or a peak into one meet), that can be arranged without changing plan. Message us and describe the situation.

The Catalan powerlifting scene

Tarragona sits an hour from Barcelona, which puts most of the Catalan federation calendar within a comfortable drive. Bollodromo organised the I Copa Bollodromo, an official AEP meet, in Tarragona on 7 March 2026 (results on OpenPowerlifting), and there are members on the platform at regional and national level through the year. If you are moving here and want to keep competing, you will not be doing it alone.

Practicalities

Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on the Unlimited (€70/month) and Ultra plans, which means you can run a programme around shift work, travel or a training partner's schedule. Chalk is fine. Free parking at the door. See the full prices, or come and look at the room before you decide anything.
