Barbells don’t have to be intimidating—and we’re here to prove it.
This February, we introduced a brand-new Small Group Training (SGT) series: Intro to Barbells, led by our newest intensity instructor, Chelsea Cirruzzo. Designed specifically for members who want to feel stronger, more confident, and more capable on the strength floor, this six-week program breaks down barbell training in a supportive, skill-focused environment.
Whether you’ve avoided barbells altogether or you’re ready to refine your technique, this series meets you where you are and gives you the tools to move forward with confidence.

What Is Intro to Barbells?
This six-week series focuses on one of the most effective—and often misunderstood—tools in strength training: the barbell.
You’ll learn how to properly, safely, and confidently use barbells for foundational movement patterns, including push, pull, hinge, and squat. Each week builds on the last, helping you develop both technical skill and real-world confidence so you can apply what you learn beyond this series.
This isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight in the room. It’s about learning how and when to use a barbell, understanding your own strength, and moving with intention.
What You’ll Learn
Over the course of six weeks, participants will gain:
- Mastery of basic barbell movements, including deadlifts, front squats, back squats, and bench presses
- A clear understanding of 1RM (one-rep max)—what it is, when it’s appropriate, and how to calculate it
- The ability to confidently and safely use racks and benches on the strength floor
- Practical knowledge you can integrate into your existing workouts or future training plans
Who This Series Is For
- Members new to barbells who want a structured, supportive introduction
- Anyone who feels unsure about using racks, benches, or loading a bar
- Strength-curious members ready to level up their technique
- Lifters who want to build a smarter foundation before progressing heavier
Small group training means personalized coaching, real-time feedback, and the chance to ask questions—without the pressure of a crowded floor. If your membership includes classes, you have access to small group training!
Why Barbells?
Barbells are one of the most powerful tools for building full-body strength, improving movement efficiency, and tracking progress over time. When used correctly, they’re not just safe—they’re incredibly effective. This series gives you the education and confidence to make barbells work for you.
If you’ve ever watched others lift and thought, I wish I knew how to do that, this is your moment.
