Our Story
​
As a fitness professional, it has always been my goal to make fitness more attainable for everyone. Not everyone has an inherent love for "working out". Not everyone responds to the same style of coaching. Not everyone thrives in a traditional gym setting. That doesn't mean that fitness can't be your jam...
​
I started Bar None Fitness in September of 2022 for that exact purpose; to provide fitness coaching and guidance to those seeking quality advice from a source they can trust. To remove some of the barriers standing between you and your fitness goals. To offer training how you need it, when you need it, and where you need it. Whoever you are, and whatever your goals might be, we've got you covered. Thanks for stopping by. Now, let's get to work!
