Hackettstown Barbell Club

"All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions." James Freeman Clarke

"We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided." J.K. Rowling

"Better to be strong than pretty and useless." Lilith Saintcrow

-To Develop Strong Bodies, Strong Minds, and Successful lives. 

Those aboves quotes are all kick ass.  The development of strong bodies, stronger minds, and more successful lives is the mission at Hackettstown Barbell Club.  

Listen up and pay attention-

More often than not athletes fail.  Athletes fail to become starters, athletes fail to go onto college level sports, athletes fail to win games.  At Hackettstown Barbell Club it is our mission to not only create strong athletes, kids and adults, but to also make winners.  Nobody remembers second place.

In this day and age our society looks at fitness and strength training and does not understand what it is truly about or how to properly use the tools to create winners.  Athletes do not need fancy pieces of equipment making them look like Darth Vader when they run around on a hamster wheel.  Athletes do not need specialized training facilities with "State of The Art" equipment either.

The basics of strength training have always worked and will always work.  It is not the tools in the bag that make the centerpiece an attraction of fame or success. It is our minds, our processes, and systems. Good coaches are not made through books or training others.  They are made by digging through the trenches and fighting back while standing side by side with dedication and commitment. 

Why do some kids excel and others sit on the bench?

DESIRE>COMMITMENT>ACTION>CONSISTENCY

Problem is, most kids and adults do not have the passion, desire, and commitment to succeed in their sports or fields of "interest". Hackettstown Barbell Club does not want whiners and complainers, cancel-lers, or kids who can't be accountable for their actions.  

Hackettstown Barbell Club is a newly formed Strength and Conditioning Company that is based in and around Hackettstown, NJ.  Hackettstown Barbell Club is looking for athletes of all ages who want to be the next State Champion or "that kid" everyone in the MOMs clubs talk about or the kids the fathers point at when on the sidelines.  If you have the GUTS and the DESIRE to walk through hell and become a championship caliber athlete then training at Hackettstown Barbell Club may be for you.

Right now ALL classes are $5.  This is extremely low and only for the dedicated, the demanding, and the determined. Some people can't handle this type of training.  If you feel like you can't lift weights in a confined space where the temperature is 100 degrees plus then training here is not for you.  

-Hackettstown Barbell Club is centered in the home of Mike Corona. Owner and Founder of Activate Fitness.  Mike is a committed husband and a soon to be father who has dedicated his life to Strength Training and to teaching others about proper lifting and sticking to the basics.  Mike takes athletes to local parks and empty parking lots for training or has them come to his home where Hackettstown Barbell Club is set inside a small garage the size of a tool shed. Creating winners with an undying passion for success through proper education and programming, Mike Corona, through Activate Fitness and Hackettstown Barbell Club stands by his Mission and Motto and dedicates his life to helping people become better. 

 Strong Bodies. Strong Minds. Successful Lives.
