At Barbell Coalition here in Cedar Park, we believe every athlete has the potential to be great with the proper training.
Not just good. Not just decent. We’re talking explosive, confident, resilient, amazing.
And our mission is simple: help young athletes close the gap between where they are now and where they’re capable of going.
So how do we do it? Let’s break down exactly what separates our training program from the typical “just lift weights at school” approach.
Individualized, Not Cookie Cutter
Most athletes are forced to train in large groups with generic workouts that don’t reflect their sport, position, or personal needs.
At Barbell Coalition, we take a different route.
Every athlete starts with a plan tailored to their goals, current abilities, and schedule.
Whether they're trying to build muscle, jump higher, recover from an injury, or improve conditioning — we’re focused on them.
No guesswork. No fluff. Just real, results-driven programming.

Self-Paced, Coach-Guided Training
We run our training in a semi-private format. That means athletes train at their own pace while being coached through everything.
Our coaches aren’t just standing at the front of the room shouting reps — we’re walking the floor, cueing technique, pushing effort, and making sure no one is going through the motions.
This model creates a perfect blend of freedom and structure. Athletes learn how to take ownership of their training and execute it with high-level precision.
Building Strength Where It Matters
Our programs aren’t built on random circuits or flashy Instagram workouts.
We use proven strength and power-building progressions to make athletes faster, more durable, and more explosive.
We don’t waste time trying to “mimic” sport movements in the gym — we build the foundation that allows athletes to perform better in their sport: raw strength, power, mobility, and coordination.

Consistency, Accountability, and Culture
We track sessions. We check in when athletes miss. We create a culture where showing up matters.
A big part of turning “average” into “amazing” is consistency.
And we’ve built a system where parents stay in the loop, kids stay engaged, and everyone knows what progress looks like.
We also cap the number of athletes we train at once so that each one gets the attention they need.
Our gym isn’t a factory. It’s a training environment that feels different from the moment you walk in.
