Make progress, not excuses.
We are passionate about strength and we believe that getting stronger can help achieve your goals whether it be improved body composition, general physical and mental health, rehab, sports performance or learning a new skill. We also believe that when you make strength the main focus, this becomes a positive journey where everything else, such as body composition, becomes a by product of your progress.
When you commit to personal training at Desert Barbell we provide you with a clear road map of your strength journey so that you know where you are going, and how to get there, with measurable outcomes. By seeing and tracking progress you will naturally stay invested in the process, celebrating small wins along the way and truly finding new ways to enjoy staying fit and healthy.
We achieve this by using a scientific approach to strength training, applying well structured programs that are tailored to each client as well as utilizing a wealth of coaching experience. We track all elements of your training data, including training stress, to make sure each session is optimized for you. This means we also consider other factors outside of training to ensure we get the best results while making your training more sustainable.
So if you are new to strength training, or the gym, or you want to learn or perfect your Olympic Weightlifting technique or are a Powerlifter that wants to add serious kilos to their total, then this is the place for you. Get in touch with us and let one of our coaches guide you towards your goal.
What's more is that you only pay for what you want. You do not need to have a Club membership to access personal training services. Choose the path that best suits you, and your budget.

"I started training with Chris and he has me doing things I never thought I could do - full squats, deadlifts, pull-ups etc. He's given me an attitude that shows I have no boundaries. With Chris' encouragement, expertise and a program designed to my specific fitness level and goals, not only have I shed inches off my waist, I have more stamina & confidence. Four months into my personal training journey and it is amazing how much better I feel! Desert Barbell has been a blessing, it is more a community than a gym label."

"There comes a time in a person's life when they look at their reflection in the mirror and realize their reflection doesn't fit in said mirror, and that's where Desert Barbell comes in. Under the surgical observation of Angelica, I've found myself addicted to the idea and practice of strength training and improving tremendously at a solid rate. Needless to say, the community of trainers and practitioners at Desert Barbell foster a healthy and reliable network of companions who push for better results. I am a helpless addict and the results motivate me to carry on; highest possible recommendation for anyone wishing they could surprise themselves."
