WHAT IS THE BARBELL SAVES PROJECT?
The Barbell Saves Project brings individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction to community-based fitness classes with the aim of improving their physical and mental well-being. Our classes focus on strengthening the community for participants and increasing overall health for each participant. In addition to building strength and fitness among members, we provide nutrition guidance and support members to achieve their health goals, while sustaining their sobriety.

Did you know one of the biggest impacts on your health is actually quality relationships? That’s why, at The Barbell Saves, we open every class with an ice breaker and focus on building connections between members. We believe strongly in our community and are so grateful each day for everyone that shows up!

Join us in wishing a Happy 9th Sober Anniversary to Rob Best, The Barbell Saves Project founder, CEO, and Head Coach. Rob has one driving force behind what he does, to help others. This focus has enabled us to grow and serve over 100 different people in less than a month of opening. On any given day, Rob can be found laughing, connecting with others, and dropping knowledge and support while coaching. We are so grateful to Rob for his compassion and dedication.
Rob says the thing he is most grateful for in sobriety is, “No longer hurting my family. Being there for my kids. Being a loyal and reliable husband.”
If he wasn’t coaching, “I guess I'd be a high school counselor. I love talking to young people and helping them to see they have an almost unlimited amount of potential to do whatever they set their minds to. That job would never get old for me.”
