Bear Barbell — Local services in Tuscarora Township

I used to go to your average gym with machines and free weights. Hardly ever talked to anyone, never felt encouraged to hit a new goal and was hard to stay motivated in the middle of a workout.

Jenna, the ownerof Bear Barbell reached out to me and invited me to come workout. I have been going to bear off and on for the last 3 years and it's one of the best decisions I have made. The atmosphere of this place is absolutely incredible. You will never feel out of place or discouraged. No matter what you decide to use for weight, how you scale a movement or if you just can't quite finish in time. You will ALWAYS be cheered on by others working out with you and by the coaches.

Jenna, Caitlin and Sarah are by far the best coaches. Super helpful, full of knowledge and always encourage you to keep pushing!

Seriously, if you are thinking of making a visit to the small town of Indian River, come and check us out. Visit the website or just call for schedule times and lol in for a visit! You will not regret it! If you live around the area and have been contemplating joining, I promise you will love it! The people, the gear, the equipment, the music and the environment...

As soon as you walk in the door at Bear Barbell, you will be greeted by friendly and welcoming faces. If you are new to the area or on vacation, looking for a box to drop into, you have found the perfect place! The coaches at BB are amazing and knowledgeable in all aspects. The box may be a little small compared to some, but it is filled with heart and an overwhelming sense of community.

I'm a Bear Barbell OG. I became a member back when it was just starting. I joined within a month of them opening and was hooked from the start! I was nervous to walk through the door on the first day, but there is no need to be. Each workout is tailored to your specific needs. Can't do a burpee, or dont even know what one is?! No need to worry. The coaches will help you through every step of the workout and will adjust each movement, so that you can be successful!

Over the last few years, BB has given me something to be proud of. Its pushed me to new levels and encouraged me to make goals for myself. Not only has it been a huge part of my life, but it has been a huge part in my family's life. We now look forward to doing something together. Bear Barbell has members...

Just walk in the door, you will be so happy you did.

I did not know anyone when I first joined, and immediately, everyone made me feel like family. I had not worked out in over 10 years and felt so awkward. Jenna patiently taught me the workouts, made modifications to adapt to my level, and encouraged me to try to improve as she knew I could. Since then, I have grown tremendously.

They are always doing fun things outside of the gym too; hikes, bike ride meet ups, nutrition/goal workshops, yoga classes, etc, trying to get people more active. They also have fun competitions that everyone is involved in, from young teens to seniors.

At Bear Barbell, you can count on the coaches always showing you how to use the equipment, pushing you to go a little farther than you thought you could, other members cheering you on with loud claps and screams, good music to wake you up in the morning, people that will become life-long friends, and most important of all, a new love...
