GET STRONGER. BUILD MUSCLE. LOSE FAT.

Our programs are designed to make you stronger. No matter where you are starting, you can always get better. 

This is not your typical gym.

Our goal is to make people
strong, and to do so in a way that promotes virtue. We aren't here to "get ripped for summer" or to
impress the opposite sex. . We are training for Holy War against the devil, to discipline our minds and bodies, and to crush our temptations.

Ad Majorum Dei Gloriam!

Rising up to a higher standard.

  • Professionally designed programs put you on the right track to success.
     
  • Access to a certified coach will help you break through plateaus and train safely.
     
  • An active community will motivate you and support you in your fitness journey.
     
  • Our emphasis on Catholicity will keep you on the right path. We aspire to make fitness and the Faith go hand in hand.

Going against the grain.

The fitness industry promotes vanity and false solutions. "Get RIPPED in 30 days! Lose weight sitting on the couch! Buy our supplement!" They capitalize on your own temptations and sell you quick fixes that don't really work.

The Barbell Club rejects this. We are in this for life-long change. We use weight training as a form of spiritual growth. Lifting teaches us patience, perseverance, and self-discipline. It also makes our bodies more useful so we can help people and make a good witness.

Our training offers no-frills, no-gimmicks, time-tested methods for growing stronger. If you want a quick fix, you're in the wrong club.

NO CONTRACTS. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

Cancel any time, for any reason, with no penalty.

I don't want to train someone who doesn't want to be here, and I don't want to take money I have not earned.
About-Coach-Joe-Enabnit.jpg

Joining our Club is the first step on a great journey.

My name is Joe Enabnit and I have been teaching people how to lift weights for over 10 years. I enjoy helping people to become stronger than they ever thought possible. In my club we train hard, pray hard, and live hard. No matter how weak or old or young you are today, you can always get a bit stronger tomorrow, next week, next year. 

​

You will be challenged. You will have good and bad workouts. You will make gains, have setbacks, and overcome them. I will be there with you every step of the way, giving you professional coaching, encouragement, and prayer.
