Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there. A special celebration and thanks to Rob Best, our founder and Head Coach, and to Eric, one of our fantastic new coaches. We are grateful for the support, knowledge and fun they both bring to every class and what a welcoming environment they make The Barbell Saves. We hope you all have had a wonderful day.

And just like that, we have a new record for class attendance!! You people seriously rock!
In a Barbell Saves class, we open with an ice breaker so that everyone gets a chance to answer deep questions, like what was your favorite childhood cartoon. We believe in community and learning who else liked He-Man and She-Ra is one way to build that. Saturday’s are partner workouts and our members were on fire encouraging each other.
We can’t wait to see you next week. Until then, rest, relax and enjoy your weekend.

Who says you can’t have fun while you exercise?!? At The Barbell Saves we believe that laughter is one of the keys to connection and community and those are vital to each person’s success. We work hard and we laugh hard.
Did you find something to laugh about today? If not, pop into a class and I promise, Coach Rob will fix that.

Wow! Thank you to everyone who showed up today. From all of the members who put in serious hard work in every class, to all the different agencies and people that came by to learn about how we can serve people in their recovery. We are blown away.
In one week of being open, we have had over forty brand new individuals sign up and just about every single person has already attended two classes - or more!!
We can already see the community growing and we are humbled by the courage and strength of each person that’s walked through our doors. We hope to see you this week!
