THE PROGRAM
Personalized Programming and Coaching for Strength that Lasts
We coach members through individualized barbell strength training programs designed to improve performance goals, long-term health, and confidence.
Whether you're looking to fine-tune your performance, get ready for an upcoming sports season, or are new to lifting, our coaching meets you where you’re at. Each program is tailored, you will receive coaching every session in a small-group setting, and we make adjustments in real time as you progress.
What’s Included
Custom programming based on your goals and experience
Small-group coaching during every training session
A clean, no-fluff training space with high-end barbells and platforms
Ongoing education on technique, progress tracking, and recovery
THE EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY
As barbell specialists, Tri-City Barbell Club does have:
High-quality and specialty bars
High quality plates, bumpers, and micro-loading plates.
Anchored squat racks on 8x8 platforms
An assault bike, airdyne bike, and rower.
Chalk for your hands!
A clean, open, and organized facility.
Our facility does NOT have: mirrors, machines, group challenges, timed exercises, foam rolls or yoga mats, a sauna or a cardio center. There is plenty of encouragement, but not in the form of cheering, screaming, or yelling. We also have a zero-cell phone policy (because you’re being coached, focusing on your training, and contributing to the members around you) which means limited distractions, no selfies, and no chance of being recorded by someone else.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Expect to train individually among a tight-knit community of like-minded people. Our members love the environment; we're just a group of folks working to become stronger with the same understanding in lifting technique and gym etiquette.
Your training sessions are your own. You will come in, get ready to lift (training clothes and shoes on), and set-up on an available rack with your training log in hand. Tim will give you an overview and guide you through your day's training session including warm-ups, working sets, and rest periods. There are no time limits, random surprises, egos, screaming or yelling. Each training session you'll add a little weight, track your progress in your training log, and we'll go from there. It's like taking a college course in proper strength training.
All new members receive "intro coaching" in the first month. After that, you will be expected to learn proper set-up and take-down, counting your own plates, warming up, and how to assist others with equipment. You will ALWAYS receive constant feedback from a coach on everything training related, we just slowly take the “training wheels” away. It’s not scary— you’ll feel accomplished when you can start doing these things without being told. You’ll be a bona fide member!
ONE service: membership
Your membership includes:
gym access + programming + in-person coaching
Investment: $200/month— flat. No fees. Tax included. No contracts!
You will follow a 3-day program: typically M/W/F or Tue/Th/Sat.
Coaching from Tim is ALWAYS available. It’s the only option here.
Q: How many people are training with me?
We do not offer one-on-one. We are a limited-member facility. This means we have a total membership cap of 40 members per month and ensure that everyone has an open platform for their scheduled training session. There is an average of 6-8 trainees at one time. You will train among a community of like-minded people, but nothing you do is truly “in a group”.
Certain members (those just starting out, post-surgery, high risk, etc.) may receive more coaching attention than advanced lifters and longtime TCBC members, but no one is left without instruction. You will ALWAYS receive the coaching you need to succeed, and only from Tim.
