Barrie Barbell Club

2024 Centrals was a fantastic showing for both our own athletes and those we were fortunate enough to help with meet day coaching.

A special thank you to for coming out and helping ensure everything ran smooth and athletes were always taken care of.

Congratulations to all of our athletes on their fantastic performances all weekend and always thank you for trusting us to help you perform when it matters.

We look forward to doing it again soon

Great showing from everyone !

With regional events around the corner we have gotten lots of game day handling requests.

We pride ourselves on executing at high level well eliminating all stress around the competition, this means all you need to do is be the athlete and execute at your highest level. Numbers, timing etc is all handled.

Currently we are awaiting finalized schedules for both CPU Centrals and CPU Westerns.

Once final schedules are posted we will be able to finalize our coaching schedule.

Priority is to our own athletes, athletes we do not coach but are interested in utilizing our game day coaching are encouraged to reach out as we will only be taking on 1 athlete per category to ensure we provide the highest quality coaching.

We are beyond happy to announce the newest addition to our coaching team.
menegon has been a part of our community for years well building his own coaching brand and working with countless athletes. He’s always been a valued member so we couldn’t be happier to have him come on as our newest coach for both in person and remote coaching.

Here’s a cliff notes about Matheus.

"I have been training for over a decade, but my journey with Powerlifting started in 2016 when I decided I needed more objectivity in training. The pursuit of strength and the relationship with the sport of Powerlifting gave me meaning. It fortified my mental health. It allowed me to meet amazing people and experience amazing things. Without it, I wouldn't be a shadow of who I am today.

As a Coach, I have taken beginners to an advanced level, both in person and remotely, nationally and internationally. I have remotely coached athletes through their first Powerlifting meets, bigger totals in the recreational level, helped athletes improve their body composition and taken advanced athletes to their next level. I have also helped beginners develop a healthy relationship with strength training, as well as improving their overall health and body composition.

I take pleasure in every single win my athletes have, regardless of their level, and I have great satisfaction being part of someone's health and strength journey, being their greatest supporter, striving to be the best coach that I can possibly be.

My formal education consists of being a Fitness and Health Promotion graduate, a Certified Personal Trainer by NSCA, a Powerlifting Instructor by ISSA and a Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach. "

If you’re interested in working with Matheus keep your eyes peeled for some exciting promotions over the next few days 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Best of luck to team members competing at IPF Worlds this week!

Who would have thought we’d start off in the broom closet and be moving into our third space already 😂

Thank you to our members, athletes, friends and everyone that has supported our dream of creating a strength community in our region.

We can’t wait to continue to grow strength sports in the province and see all of you inside our new space soon enough.
❤️❤️

With our new space getting closer to be a reality this means a lot.

This wall art was originally done by a member/athlete and quickly became something special, use in 99% of advertising.

Obviously their was a desire to try and “take” it with us, that quickly proved impossible 😂

Our members/athletes went and had this beautiful banner made and we can’t wait to hang it on those new walls.

Sincerely thank you to our community.

❤️❤️

As some of you may know,
We need more space 😂

Happy to announce our new space is currently under renovation with us expected to move in a few short weeks. Consider these the “before photos” as it will be drastically different once we’re in there.

A big thank you to member/gym mom/realtor for getting everything sorted and getting us into our new space, we can’t thank her enough!

Looking forward to unveiling everything once all work is completed and we’re moved in 🤙🏻🫡

Ps keep an eye out for some membership promos as we will finally be able to open our membership up.

Best of luck to our team headed to Vancouver for CPU Nationals!

Christmas dinner with some of our amazing community ❤️❤️
