I started with B&B 8 months prior to my wedding and enjoyed the time leading up to the big day. While I didn’t hit the size 8 goal I mentally planned for, I was able to confidently try on dresses after just 3 short months, find my perfect dress and ordered a size smaller then recommended! Like most people, I had some financial struggles due to… Covid but B&B own Kat was able to work with me so I didn’t have to leave the gym and could continue my workouts. Eric was an awesome trainer and worked with my schedule and scheduling difficulties I had as we got closer to the

I was hesitant to sign up for a personal trainer, mostly out of fear of wasting money/not getting results - but Bells & Barbells exceeded all expectations! I've worked with Eric for the past 6 months, and my body has changed SO much since day 1. I really leaned on B&B to hold me accountable with workouts and eating healthy through the stress of wedding planning + quarantine, and they did NOT let me down. B&B helped me feel like an athlete again, gain confidence, and helped me develop healthy habits that I'll take with me even AFTER the wedding. I can't recommend B&B enough!

PERSONAL TRAINERS PLEASE AVOID :
I was recently hired and went through the on boarding process with Bells and Barbells. The job posting was for a part time position but at the interview Kat the owner said she needed someone full time and was not considering part time positions and needed someone to start immediately. Kat also told me that I could… not work elsewhere because they needed me full time, but gave me no specifics on specific hours said it could take up to 1 additional month to get to full time hours. I agreed to these terms and quit my job to give them the availability they requested

Absolutely loved Bells and Barbells! The team there is absolutely amazing and took one more thing off of my plate (desperately needed) while I was busy wedding planning. Even if you know how to work out and are in shape, you can use this team. They will work you out and keep you motivated and accountable, all without having to think twice. It will be the best decision you make for yourself!

There is no way that I could be any happier with a personal trainer. Kat is seriously the BEST!! She really listened to my goals and helped me achieve what I wanted for my wedding day. I've never felt more beautiful! Very happy with my results and I know that there is no way I could have gotten there by myself. The program I chose with Kat was very affordable and totally worth it. Kat noted some posture issues and really helped to correct those issues and give me the tools/stretches I need to continue to always work on my posture issues. I had a previous foot injury that caused me a lot of pain

I worked out at Bells & Barbells for about 2.5 months before my wedding, and I do not regret it. I am not much for working out, but Kat and all of the trainers were always there for me. I loved working out with Monica, Daniel, and Ryan. They know their stuff and helped me so much with proper technique. Each trainer was patient and understood that I was new to everything and was working hard to learn. I have toned up like I could never have done on my own, and I can’t thank B&B enough. I definitely recommend them!

I love Bells and Barbells! They were so key in helping me reach my fitness goals before my wedding! I ended dropping 5% body fat by my wedding day! The schedule is flexible, which was really appealing to me as a Doctor. The trainers were awesome as well! They not only focused on my goals but made sure I had a comprehensive work out! Having nutritional guidance during my training really helped me round out my fitness and overall health goals! Love the guys and gals at B&B!

Bells & Barbells is without a doubt, a one of a kind gym for brides to be. It’s the only workout facility of its kind & a must for gals getting ready for the big day. I was so skeptical about personal training… but in this environment I have absolutely loved it. I love being a part of a group of women who are around the same fitness level and working towards a common goal. Kat, the owner, does everything she can to make the experience the very best it can be - she pours her heart into this business and her clients. I’ve done the majority of my sessions with trainers Andres

I couldn't say enough great things about Bells and Barbells. I was already pretty active at a big-box gym but decided I could use a bit more focus before my big day. I trained at B&B for six months and saw a dramatic shift in my body-results I had been striving for, for years! The personalized work-outs, nutrition plan, fun environment, and AMAZING… trainers are what makes B&B so special. Kat is great with rehab as well-she gave me some stretches to help strengthen a weak hip I've had issues with since high school. I felt so confident in my wedding dress and received so many compliments

Incredible workout tailored exactly to your needs. Kat is super approachable (gyms can sometimes be intimidating & she makes you feel right at home) & extremely knowledgeable about how to train & challenge your body. Her training pushes you but also honors what's right for your body. Cannot say enough good things about my experience here!

Kat is beyond amazing at what she does. Regardless of how busy she may be she has the remarkable way of making you feel like you are her only client. She is completely investing in her bride's goals and success. I went into the experience not really sure what to expect but Kat quickly put me at ease. She is beyond knowledgeable about all things… fitness and very cautious about any prior injuries you may have. A really cool aspect about her program is that it is completely tailored to your needs. No bride does the same workout. I felt absolutely stunning in my dress!! I've been active and
