Redbeard Barbell & Fitness
We are the Mercers - a powerlifting couple who turned our lives and health around. In 2011, we started our journey from overweight and inactive to competitive powerlifting. Collectively, we've lost 125 pounds, developed a sustainable diet, and started coaching others on methods for total health. Join us to get fit and lift heavy things!.
Services
Redbeard Barbell has been coaching athletes since 2013, and in 2018 we opened our own gym space. We've been providing online coaching to powerlifting athletes since 2015, and we've built systems and processes to effectively manage athlete development remotely. I've been around sports my whole life!
Tim has been training to improve performance in sports (and life) for over 20 years! Jackie has been around sports her whole life and has an inherent understanding of performance. Together, we have the taken the journey from fat couch potatoes to lean, strong athletes! We work with folks who are trying to get healthy, get stronger, and/or lose weight.
Tim set his first state record in 1997 and has been around the sport of powerlifting since. He has held as many as 13 state records (at one time), has won a national championship, is a USAPL and USPA certified Powerlifting coach, and has brought more than 20 lifters to the platform at the local, state, national, and international level.
Looking to join a small community of like-minded individuals trying to better themselves through powerlifting? We're building a small, but mighty team! Team members will receive top-notch programming with in-person coaching, in a personal, unique and supportive environment. We are committed to providing you everything you need to succeed in the sport of powerlifting.

My husband and I lift here when we're in Portland, and we LOVE it. The space has exactly what we need to keep the gain train going while we're traveling. And the couple who run the gym are fun to talk to and super knowledgeable about powerlifting. You've got to stop by if you care about getting strong!

Whether you're just beginning strength training or already a competitive powerlifter, look no further. Tim and Jackie are amazing coaches! They emphasize form so you lift safely and maximize efficiency. They'll teach you different exercises to get the proper muscles firing to increase your lifts. Both are well versed in nutrition and recovery to maximize your gains both inside and outside the gym.
