Freedom Barbell Company History
In 2015, Erica and her husband decided to build and grow their own home gym due to gym costs and not finding a gym that met Erica’s needs as a competitive powerlifter. She met and became goods friends with other like minded powerlifters in need of a gym equipped specifically for competitive powerlifters, so she opened her home gym to a select few and named her gym Freedom Barbell Company in 2018.
In the first year, the gym grew giving a small group of USA Powerlifting competitive athletes a focused and properly equipped environment to train and compete year round. Members have also become more involved in USA Powerlifting including becoming state referees and assisting as much as possible at local, regional, and national level meets. Once established and greatly involved in USA Powerlifting, Freedom Barbell Company became a USA Powerlifting Silver Level Regional Training Center in 2019. Erica continues to grow Freedom Barbell Company and open her doors to many like minded competitive athletes (powerlifters, runners, triathletes, and bodybuilders) as well as general fitness & wellness clients who want to improve their body composition and overall health.
Erica strives to maintain a cohesive, welcoming, and learning driven environment for all members. In doing so, Freedom Barbell Company is not only a gym, but members become family who, learn together, grow together, compete together, assist each other at meets, and are each others biggest fans.
