“I have gained confidence and self- love and now know how to work out properly without hurting myself.”

“Before I had done weightlifting but since the Barbell Club I felt more of a personal connection with the experience. I was able to push myself more without fear of being judged or failing in front of people; this experience has helped me with how I feel about my body and my strength.”

“This thing has done so much for me in every way–it’s gotten my eating habits so much better and it's made me feel strong and appreciated–I really feel like it's a place where I can say anything.”

“It definitely has made me more confident and happy. Working out with supportive people has definitely helped me mentally. Through the whole six weeks I have been the best mentally than I have been in a while. I feel stronger for tennis season.”

“It made me realize that I am strong. Before I didn't think I was a working out kind of person, it made me realize that you don't have to be a certain standard to participate and get healthier.”

“Joining the Barbell Club helped increase my confidence, outside and inside the weight room. It helped my overall mood be more positive and helped create new friendships.”

“It is very fun and it has helped me with self confidence.”

“Barbell Club has helped me become comfortable in the weight room and more comfortable in my body.”

“Everything because they make me feel happy and part of the group. And now I'm gonna miss them.”
