Small group personal training · Charlotte

This is The Barbell Club.

Small group personal training for people who take their training seriously but don't want to do it alone. Small groups, real programming, and coaches who actually coach. Built for adults who plan to be strong, capable and moving well for the next 30 years.

Every member starts with an in-person consultation at our studio. By appointment only.

Our mission is simple

Train in a way that makes the rest of your life better.

Stronger lifts. Healthier joints. More energy for your work, your kids and your weekends. We care less about how tired you are at the end of a session and more about how you feel walking into the next one.

The Barbell Club runs on the same principles we use with professional athletes: structured programming, coached technique and progressive strength. The only difference is your game day isn't on a court or a field. It's everything else.

Inside a session

What a class looks like

Every session follows a plan, and every plan builds on the last one.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need barbell experience?

No. Technique is coached from your first session, and with four people or fewer, your coach can correct form on every set.

Can I drop in to see a class first?

Our studio is appointment only, so we don't take walk-ins. Book an in-studio consultation and we'll show you around, walk you through a session and answer your questions in person.

When are classes?

We'll share current class times at your consultation and help you find the sessions that fit your week.

Can I combine the club with 1:1 coaching?

Yes. The Essential membership pairs well with private coaching or your own training. Ask us on a consultation and we'll recommend a mix.

Which membership should I choose?

Twice a week is where most members see steady strength progress, which is why Performance is our most popular plan. We'll recommend a plan at your consultation, and the 30-day intro gives you time to decide.

Why do you require a consultation?

The Barbell Club is small group personal training, not an open class. Groups are capped at four, so we meet everyone first to make sure the coaching, the schedule and the group are the right fit.
