Saint Michael Barbell Club is a Catholic Barbell Strength Training Community founded in 2020 by Coach Joe Enabnit in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The club offers personalized training programs delivered through a convenient app, access to a private Facebook group for discussion and support, and the option to work out at their private gym for local members. With a focus on strength training as a means of physical and spiritual growth, the club emphasizes humility, patience, and perseverance in achieving fitness goals.
Since its inception, Saint Michael Barbell Club has grown from a small group of men from the same Catholic parish to a thriving community of men and women dedicated to improving their physical strength and spiritual well-being. Coach Joe, a Certified Personal Trainer with a passion for strength training, provides professional coaching, encouragement, and prayer to guide members on their fitness journey. The club’s philosophy centers on integrating strength training into an Orthodox Catholic life, offering a refuge for like-minded individuals to fellowship and grow together.
With a strong emphasis on community, faith, and fitness, Saint Michael Barbell Club aims to provide a supportive environment where members can challenge themselves, make progress, and support one another in their fitness goals. Through customized workout plans, in-person coaching, and online training options, the club seeks to spread the joy of barbell strength training while upholding values of integrity, camaraderie, and dedication to personal growth.
