Diablo Barbell

I first came to Diablo Barbell because I couldn't walk without a cane. After being seen and evaluated by Dr Vitz she suggested I joined a rehab class at Diablo. It took 3 months to get off the cane and then 3 more to come off all the pain meds I was on. Im now starting a strength class and a food program. I will be the best version of myself. With the help of Coach Ted and Dr Vitz and the Diablo community everyone is so supportive.

This gym is amazing. Their back class is so helpful and my one-on-one time with Dr. Andrea was exactly what I needed. I appreciate Ted and Andrea's approach to total mind and body health and am grateful for the opportunity to work with them.

An absolutely awesome fitness and lifestyle experience. The coaches and ownership are absolutely incredible and helpful. I am generally intimidated by gyms and sometimes can feel insecure. This is the first place in the multiple states I have lived in, where I didn't feel that at all. Coaches and patrons on day 1 were extremely friendly and welcoming. I saw a tremendous amount of progress in my first two months. They also sit with you one on one to discuss what your goals are. From there your workouts and regiments are tailored to you. I would recommend Diablo to anyone at any fitness level. I was probably on the bottom half of that and continue to see great results. It's a wonderful community through and through!

I came her experiencing discomfort in my lower back due to work related injuries. I had lifted on and off for over ten years at many different gyms (24 Hour Fitness, Crunch, CrossFit, Fitness 19) and had decent progress in my fitness journey. It wasn’t until I started working with Ted, Andrea, Jenn, and Jeff that I started to make incredible gains. In a 6-8 week period I went from struggling to squat 225 lbs to getting a PR of 305 lbs. The best part was, I was learning to lift correctly, with proper form and doing it all PAIN FREE! I learned how to bench correctly and quickly started moving weight with ease that I had previously struggled with. They have a phenomenal program that uses powerlifting and brutal conditioning to get you in the best all-around shape possible. I am incredibly thankful for this place and they have definitely found a life-long member in me! If you’re interested come and see for yourself. You won’t regret it.

For Andrea and Ted, I realize you have to make a living and that's why we work but from what I observe it's so much more. It contributes to a higher good! A place where people can become their best selves. You guys know all of your clients, their strengths, their weaknesses, their ups and downs and you are on from the minute they walk in the door until the minute Ronnie finally leaves the gym. Your love for what you do and the people you do it for amazes me and frankly I have not experienced before. I look forward to developing myself as we go on this journey together 😊@levelheadeddoc @diablobarbell

Can’t say enough good things about training at this gym! Ted and Jen and Andrea offer so many paths to better fitness for anyone at any level. All you need to bring is a willingness to work, open mind to the possibilities and a desire to be your best. IMHO.

I was referred to Diablo Barbell by Dr. Andrea Vitz, whose chiropractic office is next door. After Andrea got me out of pain, she sent me here for rehab and strengthening, so that I'll never end up in pain like that again. Six months later, I am stronger & feel better than I ever have. Whether you want to get stronger, lose weight, correct back issues, or just feel and look better than ever, this is the place where they will listen to you and help you achieve your goals, and beyond...

I found Diablo Barbell when looking for people to lift with. The owner Ted's driving philosophy is to help anybody who walks in the door achieve self-mastery, through learning about themselves in the weight room. Really, it's an amazing place. Everybody gets individual attention, with a path set to achieve individual goals.Suffice it to say, this gym is not a typical gym. It's really a place to learn how to get healthy and fit, both physically and mentally. I'm so glad they decided to open up this gym to the lay people, so average people like me can benefit from years of expert level knowledge. There is a lot to be learned, and all you have to do is show up!

The best group of trainers I’ve ever come across! If you are struggling with an injury or just want to push past a personal goal this is the gym for that. For the past 2 years since my spinal surgery I have been struggling and within 2 months of going to Diablo Barbell I feel like a new person. They encourage and support you to meet your goals with positivity And knowledge all while kicking your butt.

This is more than just a gym this is a community you join. I walked in broken from past injuries, child birth, and generally not taking care of myself. On the advice of a close friend I walked in and was greeted by Jenn. She listened to all my concerns, showed me the schedule and introduced me to Dr. Vitz to start me in the back rehab classes. Within a month and half Ted and Jenn started to ease me into their conditioning classes making exceptions for things that might aggravate my issues. Almost four months later I am a completely different person. I haven't had a back issue in months. I'm leaner and clear headed. I'm strong and confident. All along the way with the complete support of my trainers. When I'm feeling rundown and haggard from my busy schedule with two kids, work, and home life, they bring me back, center me and remind me how everyday I get better and closer to the new self I'm creating.Do yourself a favor. Come in and see what you they can help you create for yourself and leave all your reservations at the door.
