VIP Barbell Club, located at 121 Friends Lane, #600, in Newtown, has been providing area residents an opportunity to optimize their physical well-being since 2005. “There are many health benefits to training here; including alleviating arthritis pain, improved mood, mobility, and a better all-around quality of life.” said Emily Reed, co-owner of the establishment with her husband, Brian.
“We offer a well-balanced program that includes strength training,” said Brian. “It’s not really based on how much weight you can lift; it is based more on how healthy you want to be overall. We also do sports therapy, massages, body tempering (a tool used to accelerate sport activity performance and recovery by combating soft tissue restrictions), and cupping (an ancient healing method that may ease pain by using suction cups to pull on skin and draw blood to the treatment area.”
The club will work 1:1 with clients, offering a personalized program through their mobile app, based on clients’ individual needs and skill level.
“We even have our own doctor who will do a workup on members to help them get the best workout that they can,” continued Brian, who holds a B.A. in kinesiology, the study of movement and how physical exercise affects the body.
Both Brian and Emily are testaments to their own philosophy on working out. Recently, Brian had both hips replaced and Emily had a spinal fusion done, and throughout their recovery they both continued with their exercise routines.
And the support their club provides is all-inclusive and around-the-clock.
“We are a private club with 24-hour access. Our members are like a community, they all help each other, they do not judge, members of all ages, many different skill levels, and different issues. It is a very welcoming environment,” says Emily.
Since VIP Barbell Club is a member-only gym, you are encouraged to reach out for additional information, or for a tour of their facility.
