2011 Client of the Year Suzanne Deaton

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”

blythe 3

  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”

Picture2

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 Highly Recommend Him!”

“I’ve known a lot of personal trainers as a professional golf instructor and Clint is the ‘real deal’. If all my clients would spend 2 or 3 hours a week with Clint, it would make their learning curve a whole lot shorter. As someone who has gone through his program, I highly recommend him.” Dave Cowger, PGA Professional Owner of Dave Cowger Golf Academy Ridgeland, MS … [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. I couldn’t imagine going to anyone else. I don’t think that I would have been as educated anywhere else! I don’t think I could trust anyone else the way that I have Raising … [Read more...]

“You are a miracle worker. Thank you once again!”

“Clint, I just want to say a BIG, BIG thank you. What I’ve experienced through our workout sessions seems nothing short of a miracle!!! I was out-of-shape and extremely overweight when we met. I have lost 19 pounds! My body is the firmest it’s ever been. I have lost inches in my arms and waist. My legs actually have muscles in them now and they feel quite firm. My torso appears to be … [Read more...]

“I couldn’t have done it without Clint!”

“At a recent alumni dinner I had more than 15 people tell me how good I looked and asked what I was doing to lose weight. It made me feel really good. I couldn’t have done it without Clint as my trainer. No doubt.” David Rula, Ridgeland, MS … [Read more...]

“Your expertise in training as it relates to sports specific movements is 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...]

“Thanks to Clint, I look and feel better than I have in years!”

My recent battle with cancer has presented me with some unique challenges, physically, due to the damage caused by chemo, radiation, and surgery. When I began working out again, I definitely needed to work with a fitness professional to help me overcome these challenges and prevent further damage. Clint understood the challenges I was facing… and what he did not understand, he researched … [Read more...]

I have made tremendous gains in strength and coordination in the last few months by training with Clint in Olympic-style lifting. I have added about 8-10 pounds of muscle mass during that time.

His knowledge of strength training and conditioning has been very … [Read more...]
