The Pound Fitness & Barbell

What makes The Pound different? A LOT, but here’s a few major points that make us stand out from other gyms! 🤘🏼🖤
1) Our Barbell program is designed with intentionality. Progression-based & technique-focused, always.
2) Our fitness program is designed with specific progressive levels to help you reach your goals
3) Our coaches actually coach - we aren’t just cheerleaders - and we will hold you to high expectations
4) Some gyms say they have a strong community, but we mean it. Give us one week and you’ll experience the difference.

The Pound is truly a place where fitness meets family. We would love to see you here!

We are so excited for another 6-week strength & conditioning camp with the Optionals girls! 💪🏻

Coach Kristin is teaching these gymnasts all about the barbell as well as functional fitness to help keep them in shape in their off season & develop explosive power as well as improved body awareness. We are so excited to see their progress over the next 6 weeks after working with Coach Kristin! 🤘🏼🖤

Last week, we said goodbye to our Kels as she moved to DC, and this post has been hard to write but she deserves for us to try.

Kelsie has been a part of our story since the beginning, as an athlete, a friend, and to nobody’s surprise, a coach. Kelsie has, since the beginning, been a “do anything and be anywhere” kind of member, showing up by herself or with kids in tow, no matter what else is on her plate. She would hold your kids while coaching a workout so you can get yours in, or stay late after class to entertain her “little buddies” that didn’t want to stay contained. She was always putting in extra work, always leading by example, and in turn making herself an easy person to look up to, and even easier to love. The loss of her in our community and leadership team is a heavy one that we will feel for a long time, but we are so excited to see the impact she has at whatever gym she chooses to call “home” in DC.

The beauty of “do anything, be anywhere” kind of people like Kelsie, is it’s never really goodbye - just goodbye for now, so we know we will be seeing her soon for .games and weightlifting meets and down in Pensacola. People like Kelsie don’t get to leave easily, and even though we will see her soon, we will be missing her until then.

We love you always, Coach Kels! You will always belong here 🖤

We are so excited to have Coach Holly in-house to help you take one more step closer to reaching your goals through fine-tuning your nutrition, beginning the week of June 8th! 🍽️

Holly is offering nutrition consultations with InBody Scan data to give you real, measurable goals and feedback. These InBody Scans will help us see your:
✔️ Muscle mass
✔️ Body fat percentage
✔️ Water balance
✔️ Progress you can actually measure

Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or overall health, knowing your numbers helps you train and fuel your body smarter — not harder.

All of this information gives Holly a baseline goal to build off of nutritionally. She is able to figure out ideal macro goals for you, and monitor how they are working and where she needs to adjust during check-ins.

Holly’s goal is to find the most practical fuel intake to meet your needs and your lifestyle to help you reach your goals!

Ready to schedule your first appointment? Text Holly at (205) 413-5753 to book your first consultation!
