I simply can't express how wonderful it has been training at this gym! Ted, Jen, and Andrea provide numerous avenues to improve fitness levels for individuals at any stage. All you require is a readiness to put in the effort, an open mindset towards the opportunities, and a determination to reach your peak. In my honest opinion.
I'd give them 5 stars because that's the maximum google allows me to give. They're a team of highly educated, experienced, open-minded, accepting individuals who work with everyone based on their unique needs to unlock and enhance the strength within.
Dr. Vitz is a remarkable individual. She possesses a unique talent for carefully listening to and understanding your body, devising tailored routines, adjustments, and exercises that cater specifically to YOUR needs. She has a keen eye for identifying an athlete's individual requirements and formulates a comprehensive approach to enhance fitness, taking into account nutritional considerations.
I have had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Vitz several times for chiropractic sessions, and after each visit, I have experienced a sense of alleviation and expansion within my body. Any tightness or tension I had been feeling was significantly reduced or entirely released.
Most recently, Dr. Vitz provided me with online consultations to fine-tune my workout routines (I noticed asymmetrical gains in my biceps and increased soreness and vascularity in my weaker arm) and evaluate my dietary habits. Through a webcam session, she observed my movements and guided me through various exercises to incorporate into my regimen. These exercises were instrumental in preparing my body for an adjustment! She directed me on hand placement and movement techniques on my arm, which left me astonished. She even performed a remote adjustment on me via Zoom!
Despite Diablo Barbell being known as a "powerlifting" facility, Dr. Vitz and her team are capable of assisting athletes across various disciplines. I am not the only long-distance runner under her care. Whether you are facing obstacles, reaching a plateau, or simply seeking improvement, Dr. Vitz and her team are steadfast in their support.
Dr. Vitz's talents are truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly endorse her and Diablo Barbell. This is the level of training and attention that your body truly deserves.
This place is no ordinary gym; it's a tight-knit community you become part of. I came in feeling broken from past injuries, childbirth, and not prioritizing my own well-being. Following a friend's suggestion, I stepped inside and was greeted by Jenn. She took the time to listen to all my worries, showed me the timetable, and introduced me to Dr. Vitz to guide me in the rehabilitation sessions. After about a month and a half, Ted and Jenn began gradually integrating me into their fitness classes, making adjustments to accommodate my specific needs. Now, nearly four months later, I feel like a whole new person. I haven't experienced any back problems in months. I'm fitter and more focused. I feel empowered and self-assured. Throughout this transformative journey, my trainers have been unwavering in their support. When I'm feeling worn out from the demands of juggling two kids, work, and household responsibilities, they rejuvenate me, help me refocus, and remind me that every day brings me closer to the better version of myself that I am striving to become.
Take my advice. Drop by and discover how they can assist you in creating the best version of yourself, leaving all your doubts at the entrance.
The most wonderful bunch of trainers I've ever encountered! If you're battling an injury or simply aiming to surpass a personal goal, this gym is the place to be. In the two years following my spinal surgery, I've faced challenges, but after just two months at Diablo Barbell, I feel like a brand-new individual. They motivate and back you in achieving your objectives with optimism and expertise, all the while pushing you to your limits.
If you're looking to get in shape with strength training, this is the spot for you. The trainers here are top-notch and they offer a range of class times to fit your schedule. Plus, they have plenty of space for working out while maintaining social distancing.
To Andrea and Ted, I understand that work is necessary for a living, but it seems like so much more than that. It's about contributing to a greater good! A place where individuals can strive to be their best selves. You two are familiar with all your clients, their strengths, weaknesses, highs, and lows, and you are there from the moment they step through the gym doors until Ronnie finally heads home. Your passion for what you do and the individuals you do it for is truly inspiring and something I haven't encountered before. I am excited to grow and improve myself as we continue this journey together 😊 @levelheadeddoc @diablobarbell
You couldn't find a more positive and genuine group of coaches anywhere else, I tell ya!
I stumbled upon Diablo Barbell while in search of lifting buddies. The owner, Ted, has a profound belief in aiding anyone that walks through the door to attain self-mastery, by discovering themselves in the iron paradise. Truly, it's a remarkable establishment. Each person receives personalized attention, following a tailored path towards their unique objectives.
To put it simply, this gym is far from your typical fitness center. It serves as a hub for acquiring both physical and mental well-being. I am thrilled that they have opened their doors to the general public, allowing regular folks like myself to reap the benefits of their extensive expertise. There is a wealth of knowledge to absorb, and all you need to do is show up!
A splendid group of individuals well-versed in rehabilitation and training for all your fitness aspirations..definitely worth exploring!
The best kept secret, I tell ya! Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about sharin' about 'em because they're just so bloomin' great!
Initially, I popped by to support a mate, but what I've gotten out of it is somethin' more. I'm one of those yo-yo diet and workout enthusiasts. I'm either goin' all in or loungin' on the sofa. I've tried me fair share of workout classes, HIIT, crossfit, runnin' 25-30 miles a week, and even liftin' weights on me own (six days a week, four hours at a pop). But I have to admit, I'm probably in the best shape of me life without havin' to exhaust meself at the gym. And when I say exhaust, I mean wastin' a load of time on me fitness routine. I swing by 'ere thrice a week for 'bout an hour and a half each time. Totally doable!
Let me start by sayin', I ain't a mornin' person. At the start, I was a bit reserved, which ain't really me style, but when you're risin' at 4:30 am to get to the gym by 5:30 am, chances are you ain't overly thrilled to be awake, let alone headin' to work out. Nonetheless, the folks in the class with me were right there with their support and encouragement. I felt like I was miles behind 'em, but they were cheerin' me on, somethin' I ain't too good at doin' for meself. The sense of community is top-notch! They inspire and push you to work harder, but you gotta be willin' to open up to the idea of community.
In all me years of trainin', there ain't been a place where you can find as much one-on-one trainin' and support. They're keepin' an eye on ya, makin' sure your form's spot on, givin' corrections, and ensurin' you're focused and in the zone.
They'll change your life, not just physically but mentally too. You just gotta be open to the idea of becomin' your best self!
Cheers to Jenn, Ted, and Andrea - I ain't too sure where me end game is, but you lot definitely keep me pushin' for more.
They 'elped me sort out my back pain.
I initially found my way to Diablo Barbell because I was struggling to walk without a cane. Upon consultation with Dr. Vitz, she recommended that I participate in a rehab class at Diablo. It took me 3 months to no longer need the cane, and an additional 3 months to completely wean off the pain medication I had been relying on. I am now embarking on a strength class and following a new food program. I am determined to become the best version of myself with the guidance of Coach Ted, Dr. Vitz, and the supportive Diablo community.
I absolutely adore this establishment. I shall never exercise at any other fitness center.
This gym is absolutely brilliant. Their back class is incredibly beneficial, and my one-on-one session with Dr. Andrea was just what I required. I admire Ted and Andrea's dedication to overall mind and body wellness, and I feel blessed to have the chance to collaborate with them.
I came here in the hopes of finding relief for the discomfort in my lower back resulting from work-related injuries. Over the past decade, I've been lifting weights intermittently at various gyms such as 24 Hour Fitness, Crunch, CrossFit, and Fitness 19, making decent progress in my fitness journey. However, it wasn't until I started training with Ted, Andrea, Jenn, and Jeff that I truly began to see remarkable improvements. Within a span of 6-8 weeks, I was able to make a significant leap from struggling to squat 225 lbs to achieving a personal record of 305 lbs. What's even better is that I learned how to lift properly, with correct form, all without experiencing any pain. I also picked up the right technique for bench pressing and found myself effortlessly handling weights that had previously been challenging for me. Their exceptional program incorporates powerlifting and intense conditioning to help you achieve optimal overall fitness. I am extremely grateful for this gym, and they have definitely gained a lifelong member in me! If you're curious, come by and experience it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
I was referred to Diablo Barbell by Dr. Andrea Vitz, whose chiropractic office is next door. After Andrea relieved my pain, she recommended this place for rehabilitation and strength training, to prevent future discomfort. Six months later, I am feeling stronger and healthier than ever before. Whether you aim to build strength, shed weight, address back problems, or simply enhance your overall well-being, this is the spot where they will attentively hear you out and assist you in reaching your objectives, and more...
What a smashing fitness and lifestyle experience! The coaches and ownership here are absolutely top-notch and ever so helpful. I usually feel a bit intimidated by gyms and can sometimes feel a tad insecure, but this place is like no other I've encountered in the various states I've resided in. Right from day one, the coaches and fellow patrons were incredibly friendly and welcoming. In my first two months, I've seen a bloomin' tremendous amount of progress. They even take the time to sit down with you one on one to chat about your goals, and then tailor your workouts and routines to suit you. I'd recommend Diablo to anyone, no matter their fitness level. I probably started off in the lower half myself, and I'm still seeing jolly good results. It's a splendid community all around! Cheers!
