Our approach builds confidence that goes beyond the gym walls and transforms how you show up in every area of life.
strength is more than what you lift
home of crossfit macomb- the Best CrossFit Community in New Baltimore, MI
Many of our members walked through our doors feeling exactly the same way - intimidated, uncertain, or frustrated by past attempts that led nowhere.
That's why we created a different kind of strength training environment. We began as a CrossFit gym but have grew to offer more comprehensive strength and conditioning options to better serve our community. Here, proper form trumps heavy weights, consistent effort beats perfect attendance, and every member gets the coaching they need to succeed - whether you're looking for group classes, personalized programming, or something in between.
We've been there too.
Ever found yourself avoiding the gym because you weren't sure what to do or felt out of place among the "fitness people"?
We're on a mission to build a fitter and more confident community in a safe and supportive environment.
Our community will make you feel welcome here. We lift you up, and show you, you are not alone. We value your effort, your trust, and are here to empower you to BE MORE.
Our coaches are certified in multiple strength and conditioning disciplines, but credentials only tell part of the story.
What truly sets us apart is our obsession with proper mechanics and individualized progression. We've helped former athletes rediscover their competitive edge, busy parents build sustainable fitness routines, and countless members break through plateaus they thought were permanent.
When you train with us, you're training with coaches who understand that form, consistency, and targeted programming create results that last.
The Bar Fitness Collective is a safe, positive environment for self-improvement, self-care, and support.

Listen to your body. It is often more capable than you give it credit for. And if something isn’t working there is always some form of exercise you can do even around injuries or limitations.

Getting to watch the progress members make. Seeing someone learn double unders or finally get kipping pull ups down, it is really fun to see
