Check out Catherine!!!

When Catherine started she was on the mission of losing weight...dropping 4 stone on that time

Looked amazing...but wanted to improve

Gained weight to add more muscle to her frame

And thats the head f*ckery right there

Adding weight when you have got so lean so that you can look even better a year later

She soldiered on and the improvements have been made!!!

At 43 having a demanding job and being there for the family...this s**t aint easy to fit it in

But its been her time, time to grow, time to socialise, time dedicated to herself without distractions

Thats what you need these days

And when the plan is in place and the goals are set....the magic happens

All here at The Barbell Club

Absolute top lass and a pleasure to coach

And if you wanna start exactly like Catherine has then tap that link below and lets get started

Meet Lucy... the newest addition to our Durham team.

Lucy may be new to us, but she’s certainly not new to coaching. With six years of experience under her belt, she brings a wealth of knowledge, plenty of enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for helping people become stronger, fitter and more confident.

In the short time she’s been with us, she’s already fitted right in. She’s got class banter, a brilliant attitude, and the kind of energy that makes people feel comfortable from the moment they meet her. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time or chasing your next big goal, Lucy has a way of making you feel supported, encouraged and capable of more than you thought possible.

Now, no introduction would be complete without addressing the controversy. Lucy prefers Galaxy over Dairy Milk. We won’t hold it against her... although discussions are ongoing.

More concerning, however, was the discovery that she’d never seen the original Lion King. Thankfully, this situation has now been rectified, friendships have been preserved, and we’re pleased to report she is officially one of us.

We’re excited to have Lucy on board and can’t wait for our members to get to know her. She’s already proving to be a fantastic addition to the team, and we know she’s going to make a huge impact here in Durham.

Welcome to the madness, Lucy. We’re glad you found us.

20lb down. Lean again. Stronger than ever.

If you want to see what consistency looks like when life gets hard, this is it.

Jonny has been with us for over two years. One of the original 5:55am Consett crew and someone who sets the standard every single day.

His journey hasn't been easy. A long-term shoulder injury, surgery last summer, a newborn baby, sleepless nights, a high-pressure job, and an 80-mile daily commute.

Most people would have fallen off.

Jonny didn't.

He kept showing up. Kept training. Kept building strength and muscle.

Then in January, he decided to dial things in again. Tighten up his nutrition and see what he'd built underneath.

Twelve weeks later, he's over 20lb down.

The difference? He's just as lean as his last photos, but half a stone heavier.

More muscle. More strength. A completely different physique.

This is what happens when you stop waiting for the perfect time and commit to the process.

No excuses. No negotiating. Just turning up and doing the work.

Imagine where you'd be if you did the same.

Nic is 42 years old and has lost over 30lbs with us 👏

But the best part about her transformation isn’t just the weight loss… it’s the lifestyle change and the mindset shift she’s had along the way.

Nic works a seriously stressful job.
Like most people, by the time Friday at 4pm rolled around it was straight into “switch off mode” with a bottle of wine to de-stress from the week.

Then you add family life into the mix…
Kids classes, running around everywhere, constant responsibilities, never-ending to do lists.

Life is BUSY.

And that’s exactly why her results are so impressive.

Because instead of saying “I don’t have time”, she decided to make time for herself.
4 sessions per week.
Non-negotiable.

Not only has she completely changed physically, she’s now got the mental clarity and energy to deal with the pressures of everyday life so much better.

She’s tried pretty much every gym within 5 miles of her house and said nothing compares to The Barbell Club.
Not just because of the results she’s had… but because of the people, the atmosphere, the support, and the banter she gets every single week.

This place has become part of her routine and something she genuinely looks forward to.

Top lass. Fully deserved 👏
