HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO TRAIN WITH A GROUP OF STRONG, LIKE-MINDED AND AMBITIOUS WOMEN LIKE YOURSELF? NOW YOU CAN.
Barbells & Babes is not just another group class. We enable and encourage women to reach their full potential.
Our 12-week program was carefully designed with the goal of increasing full-body strength, all while promoting an uplifting and rewarding training experience in a judgement-free gym environment.
By giving them the tools they need to succeed, our strong ladies develop the confidence and knowledge that naturally results from working with a dedicated and knowledgeable strength coach.
Babes will improve their squat, bench and deadlift technique, as well as learn how to progress each lift on a weekly basis. We will also dedicate time to developing full-body strength and fitness by combining powerlifting movements with a well-rounded, balanced approach to training.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS...
Every week, our group of 6 babes meets for two 90-minute training sessions carried out at Barbell Strength. Each training session is supervised and coached by B&B Head Coach Barbara.
During our 12-weeks together, babes will…
• Learn how to efficiently and safely perform the big three lifts: squat, bench press and deadlift
• Increase full-body strength, including mastering the pull-up and other bodyweight movements
• Build and accentuate curves, reduce body fat and look their best this summer and onwards
• Be introduced to program design that focuses on long-term progression, proper recovery and individuality
• Master variations of the big three lifts, and learn how to progress or regress them based on their own training level, abilities and limitations
• Train in a welcoming, judgement-free zone that promotes self-growth and challenges
• Build healthy and supportive friendships with other ladies who are also on the path to stronger, more resilient bodies and minds
NEXT PHASE BEGINS ON SEPTEMBER 30th, 2019!

Krystle C.Barbara’s approach is sustainable and the foundational knowledge she provides is easily translated into an ongoing healthy lifestyle. Besides helping me get into shape (and lose 30 pounds), Barb definitely helped me get over my intimidation of knowing my way around a gym!

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by a program that is "customized" to an individual?
At Barbells & Babes, our goal is to build efficacy in the big three lifts and their variations, as well as to promote full-body strength through assistance exercises and bodyweight movements like pull-ups and push-ups.
However, we know that injuries happen, and that some individuals may have physical restrictions that prevent them from properly performing certain exercises.
With that in mind, we are able to tailor the program to suit a specific person’s current needs and abilities without straying too far from the main goal: to build a badass, strong, resiliant body and mind.
Do I need a certain level of training experience to join?
Due to the nature of the program, we expect participants to have at least some experience with barbells and strength training (from 6 months to 1-year).
If you don’t think you’re ready to join yet, don’t worry! In the future, we will be offering beginner-level programs to accomodate all you ambitious babes.
What happens if I miss a class?
All participants will have access to their weekly program prior to the start of the first session of the week.
If you have to miss a class, you can make it up on your own time at Barbell Strength.
Note: We cannot guarantee that the coach will be available to assist you with training on your own, therefore it is strongly recommended that you do not miss group sessions!
I would love to get stronger, but I am also interested in losing weight.
How is this different than a regular group class?
We’re glad you asked!
Barbells & Babes is unique in that we establish specific strength goals from the get-go. Our strength program was carefully crafted with the aim of building a solid foundation, progressing each week and adding numbers to the main powerlifts.
We not only focus on the outcome, but we are very meticulous with the process.
We pay special attention to individualizing technique, which helps guarantee the best possible results.
Why are spots limited to 6 people?
One of the key features of our program is the immediate availability to an experienced coach who will be assisting and monitoring each member during training.
In order to deliver great quality coaching, we have capped the number of participants to six to ensure each individual is able to get the attention they require.
Are there any events associated with Barbells & Babes?
We host exclusive events and outings to promote and foster the friendships that will inevitably surface from training together every week.
At the end of our 12-week program, we will also host a big final event to celebrate all that we’ve been able to achieve as a group!
Are you ready to become a stronger version of you?
Phase III of Barbells & Babes is set to start on September 30th, 2019!
