Celebrating four years of what is now known as Bontrager Barbell. For both of us(Von and Kalli)...our "why" is the reason we eat, sleep and raise children in between doing what we love. Without the very first people to support us, believe in us and put some of their sweat equity into Bontrager Barbell, we definitely wouldn't be where we are. Through Christmas parties, tearing down walls, and everything in between...we are like family.
The man behind it all, Von. For 14 years he’s been kicking peoples asses, from young to old. He loves showing people what they are capable of, how lifting weights and exercise can help with any aspect of life, through highs and lows, the gym remains constant. He is often a man of few words, which makes him good at listening to your bad day while you hit new personal bests!
The second half of Bontrager Barbell is Kalli.
She says "Though many seasons in my life, the gym has been my safe haven. I didn't have to talk or listen to anyone. I didn't have to think (as a natural over thinker) this saved me. She lives by the quote "take care of your body, its the only one you get." Physical fitness and mental fitness compliment each other. The gym is the only place in the world where you get exactly what you put in. Muscles and hard work can't be bought. I love empowering women and showing them what they are capable of! I have a special relationship with each and every one of them. It isn't just business. We build trust and friendship (along with muscles)
Since the beginning, our members have consisted of our friends and gym family who we’ve built relationships with over the years. Each member that joins feels like our gym family just grows and grows in the right direction, and to those who might not know us as well as they would like, please come join us. We would like to give you a week free to to see if this is the right place for you!
