Welcome to the DCW Family!

DCW Wrestling is incredibly proud and grateful to welcome Earned Not Given Barbell Fitness Center as our second $1K sponsor! 💪🔥 We want to take a moment to recognize just how important fitness, exercise, discipline, and taking care of your body are in everyday life. As a wrestling promotion, we understand firsthand the dedication and hard work it takes to stay strong, healthy, and ready to perform. That’s why we’re especially excited to have a sponsor whose mission is centered around fitness and helping people become the best versions of themselves. Earned, Not Given is a mindset that perfectly represents the dedication we see from our wrestlers, our fans, and our entire DCW family. Please join us in giving a HUGE DCW welcome to Earned Not Given Barbell Fitness Center! Thank you for believing in DCW and helping us continue to build something special right here in Dubuque! 🏋️‍♂️🔥 This partnership is truly EARNED, NOT GIVEN!

We have now officially 2 spots left for the $1K option. This is your chance to get your logo on our ring aprons, and even a sponsor plate on a championship belt we are preparing to have made! These options will sell out in no time flat! So reach out today to get your spot and have us be able to represent your brand/company on a championship belt!

✅️ Thank you all to our continued members and supporters!

🚨 ATTENTION, LOCKER HOARDERS & MYSTERY OWNERS 🚨

It's time to figure out who's claiming real estate in the locker room. 😅

If you're using one of the ENG lockers (whether you're a current member or not), shoot us a message with your locker number (they are now numbered with white numbers by handles) so we can get our locker map updated.

If you're no longer a paying member but your stuff is still enjoying its extended vacation in one of our lockers, please reach out so we can set up a time for you to come rescue it. We'd rather not have to start naming the abandoned gym bags. 👀

We will have to remove items from unclaimed lockers after a bit if they are not claimed or cleaned out.

We're officially keeping track of who has which locker moving forward, so let's get everything cleaned up and organized.

Thanks for helping us out—and remember, lockers aren't a long-term storage unit. 😉💪

Hey members!
We are in the middle of some improvements around the gym. We are getting new seating for the lobby, any gym equipment and personal items that were surrounding these couches, were moved over to this shelf in the lobby.

Going forward we will be redoing the locker layout to hopefully offer more lockers to members.
Thank you!

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from all of us at Earned Not Given Barbell. 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate 250 years of the United States of America, a legacy built by those who answered the call, embraced sacrifice, and fought for the freedoms we enjoy every day.

At Earned Not Given, we’ve always believed that the greatest things in life aren’t handed to us, they’re earned through discipline, grit, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to something bigger than ourselves. Those same values helped build this nation and continue to define the men and women who keep it strong.

As you celebrate with family and friends, take a moment to remember those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Have a safe, blessed, and unforgettable Fourth of July.

Happy Birthday, America. Here’s to 250 years of freedom, and to the generations who will carry that legacy forward.
