“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 making excuses for myself and I began looking into personal training. I knew that I had to do something to get me out of this unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle, and I had had success with trainers in the past. After much research, Raising the Barr certainly stood apart from the rest of the pack. I could really tell that working with Clint and his staff would be a much more “full service” experience, which is what I desperately needed. I began working with Raising the Barr’s head trainer, Drew, in February of 2011, and I immediately began to see results. Over the course of the last two months I have dropped 10-15 lbs of fat and added around 5 lbs of muscle. While I still have a ways to go before I realize my goal, I have absolutely no doubt that I will get there with the help of Raising the Barr.

“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 day. He continually pushed me to goals I never thought I would have met when I walked in for the first workout. If I had the budget, I would be there three days a week for an ongoing 12 week rotation. The hard part now is just keeping that momentum outside of RTB. Around the office, my family and friends have noticed a difference and I have noticed a difference in myself too. So, thank you for all that you have provided through RTB. The staff you have is “One in a Million” and really almost create a family atmosphere once you have been there for weeks on end. I will definitely be recommending RTB to anyone and everyone I can!

“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 conditions and their management. One conclusion that I came to is that strength training is one of the very best courses of action not only for the chronically ill, but for those that want to prevent future health problems. Helping mom helped me know what steps I needed to take not only for her, but for myself. As I approach my fortieth birthday I am mindful of what the next fifty years or so may hold. I want to be able to embrace the future with a little more grace and balance because of the steps that I am taking now. After 12 weeks of working out at Raising the Barr, I enjoy how my everyday activities are easier to do, of how I have opportunities to try things that I wouldn’t have dared to do before because of problems with knees or lower back, of how I will have more time with my husband because of all this (not just on the chronological clock), but because I can keep up with him and all of the things that he likes to do. Maybe we’ll start biking together, now, because we can. Maybe it’ll be walking more or kayaking more—-but the important thing is that we have options for spending that time together that I didn’t have before. And I am grateful. I entered the program not intending to lose weight, but to gain strength. I entered hoping to learn techniques for exercise. I entered hopeful, willing to do the work, and committed. I got out of it as much as I had hoped and a little more. Now, if only I can find a seamstress to take in all of my pants so that they fit!

“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.”

“You ARE changing lives!”
“Since you are all so great at encouraging us, here is a little encouragement for YOU! You are great. You are changing lives!!! You have taught me a new way of life, nutrition and health. Thank you for all that you do for us all. I pray Gods greatest blessings for you and your business!! Thank you!!!! (and everyone else in Boot camp, I am am sure would second this!)”
Kim Oakes“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 complete turnaround with my energy. Overall the training, coaching and knowledge provided at Raising The Barr were all outstanding! Keep up the excellent work in helping people reach their goals and dreams!!”

“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 The Barr Fitness.”
Dru Davis, 28Kindergarten Teacher

“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 longer and thinner. I’ve dropped 2 dress sizes. The results have been overwhelming!! I honestly believe it was your exercise routines that have transformed my body. I cannot thank you enough and I have told so many people about how wonderful and patient you are. I just wanted you to know that your workout sessions have made a huge difference in my ability to function and become a healthier person. You are a miracle worker. Thank you once again”
April King, 29, Jackson, MS
“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
“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, conditioning, balance and a well designed fitness program is what has been missing…..not a new club. Your expertise in training as it relates to sports specific movements is top notch. A paradigm shift for me in fitness. Thanks again for your time, effort and patience with me. I look forward to continuing your additional conditioning programs.”
Chino Gutierrez
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 until he did. Clint spent extra time to develop workouts that were tailored to my specific needs. Not only that, Clint makes sure I am getting the most out of my workouts and that my program continues to address my changing needs. Thanks to Clint, I look and feel better than I have in years. Also, working with Clint has given me essential tools to continue to fight the effects of my cancer and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Avery, 33 Finance Officer
Clint is extremely knowledgeable and highly motivating. His workouts are very intense and are extremely challenging. We get a lot of work done in a short amount of time and I have a great feeling that I have accomplished something. I am very pleased with the program I am on because of the accountability and feel that it works very well for me. Plus, its fun!
Allyson, 46 From 31% body fat to 25% body fat in 12 weeks!
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. I sleep better at night and can do chores around the house without being exhausted. Clint has been very patient with me in my training. His knowledge of strength training and conditioning has been very helpful for me meeting my goals. I strongly urge anyone interested in fitness to get off the machines and use free weights and/or body weight training. I have no hesitation in recommending Clint as anyone’s personal trainer.
Sam, 50 Gained 10 pounds of lean muscle!
I feel the program Clint has developed for me has been one of my better investments. He is very knowledgeable, organized, and caring in his work. Clint has a knack for knowing what is best for your workout and making it work. His program is well worth my time. I am proud to have him as my personal trainer.
Bill, 50 Increased strength by 30%
“I just finished Clint’s 8 Week Golf Conditioning Program and I can say without question this has been the best money that I ever spent on golf. I’m hitting the ball farther and my scores are coming down. Plus I’ve even lost a few pounds and I’m in a lot better shape than when I started. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you give this program a try.”
