I don't have time to work out is a very common excuse that your brain uses to keep you from accomplishing something difficult.

We have helped athletes in almost every sport achieve success at the highest levels, including professional contracts. If you are looking to take your game to the next level, we can provide the training you need to succeed.

If you want to improve your performance and push yourself beyond what you could do on your own, team training is the way to go. Get started with a coaching call to find out how you can come try a class for free!

If you don't want to hire a trainer with only the bare minimum skillset, come to The Barracks. Our 1-on-1 Personal & Sport Specific Training is some of the best, and our coaches are invested in your success. Our sport specific program is also one of the best, and we have scholarships to back it up.

We now offer virtual programming for those that can’t make it to the gym! You can workout when you want, where you want, and it's included in your membership at no extra charge.

I've been training at the barracks for 4 years now. I started out skinny at 185lbs, but now I'm an athletic 240lbs. When I started working with Randy, I could throw mid 80's. He got me up to 90 by my senior year of high school. Now I'm touching 94mph. His workouts have made me stronger and kept me injury-free. They've also prepared me for professional ball.

I love going to the Strength Barracks. Randy is very knowledgeable and cares about his clients. He takes the time to get to know each person and adapts their training to their specific needs to make them better. It's the best gym in this area.

The Strength Barracks: Opinions

5/5 (16 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I had decided 6-7 months ago to make a lifestyle change by getting a membership to The Barracks. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I had trusted The Barracks to train both of my athletic children during their high school years, so it made sense that I would trust them for myself. The gym is open 24/7 and works around my work schedule. They have state of the art equipment and enough of it that I rarely have to wait to use what I need. The best part are the owners. Peggy & Randy are always encouraging me and acknowledging the effort I put in. They have never made me feel inadequate for what I didn’t know and eager to give advice or instruction on my workouts, form, or nutrition. The facility is always clean and their staff are always welcoming. The Barracks is not just a gym, it has become my therapy, church, and family!

Fantastic experience: Joining the Strength Barracks has been the best for our family. The trainers here are like no other. They genuinely care about your progress, and how they can help you reach your goals. They treat everyone like family.

Fantastic experience: I started personal training with the owners Randy and Peggy after I plateaued on my fitness journey on my own. Randy has helped me tremendously with my food choices and macros and Peggy has taught me so much about lifting, different exercises and so much more. I’m making incredible progress and meeting goals and have never felt better. I’m now off metformin and my doctor is so pleased with my lab work. Not only are they wonderful but their other trainers Rachel and Jayden are always willing to help if I’m working out in the gym on my own time.

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in April and beyond happy with the results I have so far. Randy is extremely helpful and full of information, I've learned so many things about fitness and nutrition. The gym itself is different than any other place I've ever worked out. Everyone there is really one big team just pushing and helping each other grow and do better. Can't say enough amazing things about this gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love the teamwork! Everyone encourages each other to do their best. I loved it so much that I signed my daughter up for Powerlifting. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I searched far and wide for a gym like this in the area. Really high quality and niche equipment that most gyms don't have. Everyone here is invested in your betterment both inside and outside the gym. The owner and head trainer, Randy, is far more knowledgable than most trainers/coaches I have encountered. To top it all off, it's such a mixed bag of people. There are younger people training for sports, to older people just trying to lose some weight, and everything in-between. You get the first week free, so I suggest coming to check it out, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym! I've only been lifting since October 2018 and my gains in strength and knowledge has surpassed what I thought was possible. The atmosphere is inclusive and progressive. The positive energy is felt from every member (young or advanced in years)! That says something about the coach and owner Randy. If you are tired of the results you aren't getting, come by, give something new a try and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: To have a strength gym in our little county of the Midwest is quite amazing in itself but to have the level of experience, professionalism, and shear will to see each one achieve their fullest potential....that’s extraordinary and that is what you get at The Strength Barracks. I’m a proud member of this gym! Come join us today

Fantastic experience: I began training at the Strength Barracks two years ago. My goal was to work to retain muscle mass. Under Randy’s coaching, I have built muscle, upgraded my diet, and improved my overall health. I can’t say enough about this gym.

Chalmer Brickhaus 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came to the Strength Barracks last year in april. Coming in at 152lbs, the gym helped me to put on muscle and lift weight in a way I only dreamt of. I now weigh 205 and am in the best shape i’ve ever been in. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for motivation or wanna get fit.

Anne Toulouse 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is really the best! When Randy tells you what muscle a particular exercise targets, that is exactly where you feel it! He also explains the reasons you do things and takes the time to help you get the proper form. I am going to the gym to work on my fitness, not necessarily to lift a certain amount. As a trainer he works with you to help you reach your goals. It is all about the entire body, fitness and health - diet, chiropractor, yoga, sauna. This is different than any other gym experience I have had. It may seem intimidating to walk in, but it is not! People are at different levels working on different goals but everyone is friendly and supportive. Try it, you won’t be sorry!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, with a awesome coach that trains you to be your absolute best. You will not be disappointed. Never had so much progress in such a short amount of time. I’ve also never been so strong physically, but also mentally. Thank you Strength Barracks & Randy Althage !!!

Lily Brickhaus 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out here for about 2 months and I love this gym! I used to workout at the YMCA 7 days a week trying to gain muscle, but I’ve noticed more of a difference in my strength while going to the barracks 4 times a week. 10/10 recommend! Plus, the coach is amazing and so is the environment in the gym!
