core values
FORTIUS -- "Stronger." We believe the pursuit of strength is a journey undertaken in the mind as rigorously as it is developed in the body. All walks of life will face burdens, but to be unyielding and endure under the weight of adversity forges a spirit of unmatched quality.
EXCELSIUS -- "Ever Upward." Apply our strength of body and soul to endeavors that seek to elevate our personal development. We reject complacency in pursuit of Excellence that enriches the self.
COMMUNITAS -- "The Whole is greater than the Sum of its Parts." Let no one claim to be self-made: we are the product of those around us and it is each individual's responsibility to contribute a greater share than they reap. A supportive, driven community impacts the world in resounding ways.
“Heavy Metal Barbell is first class. Their knowledge and level of instruction is unmatched anywhere around.”
