Americans celebrate…everything. Staying true to this great country I want to share our last two weeks of accomplishments and celebrate all of the small victories at Force Barbell.
As you will see below we have not only crushed a few PR’s, but we have also welcomed many newcomers through the door. We would like to especially thank Staci S and Brandon P — both are owners of health and fitness companies and have been extremely kind in reaching out to us. So thank-you!
To all of our new members, thank-you. We are so excited to have you join the Force Barbell Family. We are lucky to have the opportunity to work with you.
