I’ve always struggled with consistency and staying committed to fitness on my own, so actually sticking to a routine and seeing real progress feels huge for me. For the first time ever, I genuinely look forward to working out. The classes at Barbell Academy are insanely fun, challenging, and always different, so you’re constantly learning and pushing yourself. Easily a 10/10 experience.

I’ve been going to this gym for about 18 months and I’ve never been more consistent with an exercise routine. It’s a really positive community with coaches who are both knowledge on all the movements, and encouraging no matter how we scale them. I love the variety in the workouts and most of all…I don’t have to think about “what to do today.” I show up, get a great mix of flexibility, stability, strength and cardio plus loads of laughs and along the way. Game changer for my health and wellness.

Best gym ever! So welcoming and friendly to people of all ages. I'm 63 and have no problem working along side 30, 40 or 50 year olds. All workouts can be adapted to make sure you are working hard, but safely within your ability. My overall strength and mobility have improved a great deal in the two years I've been working out hete

Barbell Academy has been a huge part of helping me get in shape and stay in shape. The environment is motivating, the coaching is solid, and the people make it even better.

Come for the workouts, stay for the community. I’m 5 months post-partum and have made more progress during my 3 months at barbell than any other training in my life. The gym is immaculately clean and organized, the coaches are knowledgeable. The culture is inclusive and adaptable. There are modifications for everyone - whether you’re a beginner, learning a new movement, injured or postpartum. Smaller class sizes, so you get lots of 1:1 guidance. You don’t need to be fit to start, just start! If I can do it, you can do it too.

I’ve been going to gyms by myself for a long while now but nothing has felt quite like home like The Barbell Academy. Everyone from the coaches to fellow athletes are friendly and encouraging. It truly feels like one big family!I’ve noticed a huge boost in my confidence on how I approach working out and have learned so much from my time here. Classes cap at 10 so coaches are able to provide individual assistance as needed which is awesome. I look forward to coming to classes, tracking my progress and seeing my improvements!Couldn’t recommend The Barbell Academy enough for anyone looking to start or continue their fitness journey!

The Barbell Academy is a fantastic and very inclusive "box", Mike and the coaches do a great job of guiding, encouraging and keeping us motivated. There are no clicks and everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. Class sizes are smaller which gives the coaches more time to focus on each athletes needs. I've personally made tremendous progress since I joined 2+ years ago. If your thinking about joining a CrossFit gym give Mike a call!
