The end of an era 😢

After 7 years I am sad to announce Barbosium Fitness will be closing on Friday Dec 16th.

Issues with our landlord, physical location, and the drastic rising costs of operation post pandemic have made it unsustainable for us to continue the fight to keep the doors open.

To all of those who have supported my dream to make the local community look, feel, and perform it’s best…thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

The next chapter for me is still unknown, but I am staying optimistic as I take some time to step back and see what opportunities present themselves moving forward.

In the short term I am looking forward to being able to spend more time with family as we approach the new year.

It has been an insane journey since 2015, so I’ve put this video together as a reminder of everything we were able to accomplish through trials and adversity having what I hope is a lasting impact on everyone that ever was a part of the .
