About a year ago I dragged myself out of bed one morning to face someone in the mirror I didn’t recognize. How in the world had this happened? About three years earlier I had started my gradual decline. I had taken a more sedentary job. Also, I suffered an illness that made it difficult to exercise, and the prescribed medication exacerbated the weight gain. After my recovery, however, I … [Read more...]
Jackson Personal Training Video Testimonial
Upon joining Raising The Barr, I felt like I had exhausted my options on losing weight and getting fit. In August of 2010, I saw and endocrinologist and determined that I was insulin resistant. Trying different methods and expensive medications, nothing was working to jump start my weight loss and get my insulin under control. As you can imagine, being a young female, not having control over your … [Read more...]
“I Knew I Needed To Make Some Changes in My Life”
My life became very chaotic after graduating college four years ago with three new jobs and three moves across state lines. Taking care of myself was not on the top of my To-do list. I became extremely lazy and my eating habits were horrific. Watching the latest episode of the Bachelor became more important than going to the gym or cooking a healthy meal. From the lack of exercise, the morning … [Read more...]
“Your Team Knows What They Are Doing”
I'm going to be really gooby for a second, so just bare with me... I really can't thank y'all enough for all y'all did for me, while I was doing bootcamp. I have never had a training experience like I did with your team. I knew it before, but realize it even more after being away and trying new programs. It's just not the same. I've tried bootcamps here and they are either not challenging … [Read more...]
“They sincerely want to see and help you to not only meet, but exceed your goals”
Admitting and accepting that I was not treating myself well was one of the most humbling moments of my life. I am a perfectionist who gives every facet of my life 150%, yet I invested very little time and effort into nurturing my body. I wasn’t sleeping well, my eating habits were poor, my weight was ballooning and my stress level was through the roof. I knew that I needed to approach my … [Read more...]

“Raising The Barr Fitness certainly stood apart from the rest the pack!”
From an early age, I have always battled issues with my weight, yo-yoing between fit and fat. Over the course of the last two years, I was definitely losing the battle. Beginning in the Summer of 2009, I started becoming sedentary and developing horrible eating habits. The result of this lifestyle was a 40+ lb weight gain that finally topped out at 212 lbs. By January, I was finished … [Read more...]

“I will definitely be recommending RTB to anyone and everyone I can!”
I just wanted to thank you again for everything! I just checked my mail and found the newsletter and the “client of the month” section and it meant a lot. I couldn’t have done this without the help, motivation and accountability you and Brett provided during the 12 weeks. Brett was great and even though it was early, I enjoyed every morning I worked out. It always brought a great start to my … [Read more...]
“I am grateful!”
Last year my mother suffered a debilitating illness that brought us both to a realization: That health is a process, a commitment, and is much more than the absence of disease—- it is the best to embrace your life. Trying to engage her doctors in meaningful conversation about her condition and what, as a family, we could do to support her caused a lot of self-education about chronic health … [Read more...]

“I have used other trainers, and nothing compared to this!”
“This has opened my eyes to a better way to live and exercise for life. I have used other trainers, and nothing compared to this. I learned what types of foods to eat to help enhance my fitness program, the importance of boosting metabolic rate, and that it is not about the time you spend in the gym, but the quality of time you spend in the gym. Mentally and physically I have experienced a … [Read more...]
“My experience was very personal and explicit to my needs. I saw good results and it motivated me to want more!”
“Raising The Barr provides an excellent quality of training and coaching for excercise but the fact that they educate each client with the utmost knowledge of their individual process makes the program top notch.

“Clint, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed participating in your 8 Week Golf Conditioning Program. This has been a great experience and is truly the best money I have ever spent on my golf game and health. I have wasted thousands of dollars and many years buying golf equipment to “fix” my golf swing. After starting your program it was clear that core strength, … [Read more...]
