Areas of Expertise & Special Focus
The Goal:
Weatherford Barbell Club "officially" started in May 2024 as a way to formalize the vast knowledge the founder, Len Nuanez, accumulated over decades of working with and competing against world class athletes from every facet of fitness. From physical training with elite special force units in the military, to senior citizens with nerve damage. "There isn't much we haven't seen." as Len says. After being medically separated from the Navy and told he would never lift again, Len moved to Weatherford, Texas where he dedicated his time to turning "I can't" into "Watch me". Now, he is sharing his passion with the world and so.... Weatherford Barbell Club is now open for business!
What sets us apart is integrity. That is one thing that is demanded from EVERY Coach and Athlete we work with. Our staff carries decades of experience and a voracious appetite for continual self improvement. What that means is, if we find a better way of doing something, we use it! No "well that's the way we've always done it". The science of sports and human movement is an ever changing landscape. One that we readily adapt to so we can provide the very best for our Athletes. This goes both ways, our Athletes bring their best effort every training session and the ego stays in the parking lot.
