We raised $1,000 for PWA Toronto Toronto PWA.

The WERKOUT was everything we hoped it would be.

A workout.
A fundraiser.
A Pride celebration.
A room full of people showing up for something bigger than fitness.

Thank you to everyone who registered, donated, cheered, volunteered, shared the event, brought the energy, and helped make this day happen.

Thank you to Bella Bimbo for the performance and to Craig’s Cookies Barrie for donating Pride cookies for the event.

The Barbell Academy was built to be a place where people feel welcome, supported, and free to show up as themselves.

Yesterday was a beautiful reminder of what that looks like.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

This is what community looks like!

This is why our classes are capped at 10.

Because coaching actually matters.

Smaller classes mean your coach can see how you move, give you feedback, and help you train safely with more confidence.

More attention.
Better movement.
Safer progress.

At The Barbell Academy, you are not just another body in class.

And if you’re new, you start with 3 personal training sessions so we can learn where you’re at, build your plan, and help you feel ready before jumping into classes.

Ready to train with more intention this summer?
Send us a message and we’ll help you get started.
