BB Barbell

🚨 NEW EQUIPMENT ALERT! 🚨

We finally have a new recumbent bike on the floor!

First off, sorry it’s taken us a while to get this replaced. We originally planned to repair our old bike, but the part we needed has been on backorder with no real end in sight. After waiting long enough, we decided it was time to quit waiting and upgrade instead.

Thank you guys for being patient with us while we got this taken care of. Come give it a try! 💪

Hey Gang, we now have a vending machine! This is privately owned so, all transactions will go through the POS system on board! If anyone has any questions, let us know! They will be adding Ghost energy drinks and water soon.

Good News, the newest addition is in! 😅😮‍💨
I hope you guys love this piece as much as I do, I missed having one of these from a previous gym and now we have one. Big shoutout to Michael Norton II for hooking us up with this piece and Jesse Crisco for the labor! Featuring the Hammer Strength ISO Lateral Row 😤😤😤

Hey Everyone! We have some good news! We are going to be adding a vending machine that will take cards Friday (hopefully) with more options to include some snacks. Saying that, clean the fridge out! $2 for energy drinks/protein while they last! Come get em!

🚨FREEEEE🗣️🚨 -Current members: Don’t forget, if you refer someone to our gym, we will rest your free guest passes and give you a credit on your account for your following months dues!

WELL… our last post isn’t exactly winning any popularity contests. 😂

BUT… I’ve got some good news instead!

We’ll be adding a new piece to the gym floor this week. Stay tuned to see what it is—I have a feeling it’s going to be a hit. 💪👀

Howdy, everyone!

Let me start by saying our gym isn’t like our competitors. We aren’t a facility that’s trying to sign up every person who walks through the door just to pack this place shoulder to shoulder until it looks like every other commercial gym.

When Kaitlyn and I started BB Barbell nearly 4½ years ago, our mission was simple: build a gym that we genuinely wanted to work out in ourselves. A place you could come at any time of day and get a workout in without having to sit and wait on equipment or deal with overcrowding or distractions. We also hoped we’d find a bunch of cool people who’d want to be a part of it and help us pay for it. 😅

We’ve always wanted this place to feel more like your gym than just another membership. Because of that, there have been a few housekeeping things over the past few weeks that have bugged me, but I’ve kept them to myself because, at the end of the day, they’re usually not worth making a post over.

Today, though, I grabbed the dirty towel basket, threw everything in the washer, and when I transferred the load to the dryer, I found one of our most-used TV remotes mixed in with the towels.

Over the years we’ve found the occasional paper towel or random piece of trash in there. It happens. No big deal.

But someone had to physically take a remote from the cardio area, carry it over to the dirty towel hamper, and bury it in the laundry where we wouldn’t notice it until it had already gone through the wash.

So… I guess that’s on me for not checking the dirty laundry for electronics before starting a load? 😂

In all seriousness, help us out a little. Please put things back where they belong, throw trash away, and treat this place like it’s your own. That’s how we’ve managed to keep BB Barbell the kind of gym you all signed up for, and we’d like to keep it that way.

We appreciate every one of you who helps make this place what it is. ❤️
P.S. I will get a replacement remote ordered ASAP! In the meantime, you can use the remote that controls the couch TV!

✨New Employee Spotlight✨

Meet Bissy. She’s our newest hire, and unlike the rest of us, she doesn’t complain, doesn’t call in sick, doesn’t ask for vacation, and works for nothing but a little 110V pull from time to time.

Her main responsibilities include:
🧼 Keeping our rubber floors clean.
💪 Saving my back from hours of mopping.
👣 Cleaning up after all the PRs, sweat, and chalk you all leave behind.

She’s still in training, so if you see her wandering around the gym looking confused, just let her do her thing.

Please give our newest employee a warm welcome… she’s already the hardest worker on the payroll. 😅

Added some protein options to the fridge! I know these don’t look like your typical “gym protein” shakes but, I’ve been drinking these for a long time and love them! They’re really light and don’t taste like a normal pre-made protein drink. My favorite is the strawberry banana!

🚨 New at BB Barbell! 🚨

We’re excited to officially start offering a drink station for all of our members! 🥤💪

We stocked the cooler with a few drink options today to get things started, but we’re currently working on partnering with a distributor so we can offer more selection—including protein shakes and other grab-and-go options.

We appreciate your patience as we get everything up and running. Payment instructions are on the fridge, in my beautiful hand writing, please keep it honest! -Drake
