GET STARTED TODAYWhy Groups?
Training Together; Achieving Together
Groups achieve more together than each individual can on their own.
Our Model
We train our clients in small groups. This is very deliberate on our part. Small groups of 3-5 people training together produce much greater results than one-to-one training ever could.
The synergy of small groups working together to help eachother reach their goals is undeniable and well documented
Accountabliity, motivation and longevity all increase dramatically when people train together. Our members work together and help push eachother to heights they could never reach alone.
Fit After 40
We get it, getting in shape and losing weight after 40 can be extra challenging. Jobs, kids and life can get in the way of reaching your goals. Many of our members are over 40 and are getting in the best shape of their lives. Forget the myths! You can get the body you want!
Lone Star Barbell Club coaches work with you to create lasting lifestyle changes so fitness and weight loss are sustainable for the long term.
After a full assessment, we combine private training with a customized plan, rounded out with proper nutrition creates results. Our team will customize your plan based on your goals to meet your needs.

Lone Star Barbell Member Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
I started training with Ron and Matthew Carroll on March 26, 2021. in just 5 weeks I have stronger legs, arms, and back, and I’m even seeing things begin to tighten up. I have not lost any more weight but definitely inches, because I’ve gone down two pant sizes since I began working out at Lone Star Barbell Club a few weeks ago!
Charity C.
I joined January of 2020 at age 72. I had never worked out. I had balance and knee issues. I’ve improved dramatically. My last yearly physical the doctor asked what I was doing differently because my numbers and all my test results were spot on. I answered “just working out 4 days a week”. He said, “keep it up see you next year”. I only wish I had started years ago.
Art S.
I’ve been training with Ron for almost 1 year now and I can honestly tell you, it’s been the best decision I’ve made when looking for a great trainer who knows the business. Since I’ve been training with Ron, I’ve improved my strength tremendously. Ron has been in this business for a long time, so he’s able to pinpoint your weakness and turn it into a positive outcome. Working out at Lone Star has been a blessing and I wouldn’t have it any other way. For those looking to improve your life physically and mentally, please join Lone Star Barbell, I promise you’ll make the right decision when it comes to your health and well being. Not only that, we are all family!!!
George F.
Two years ago I decided to get serious about my health. I began working out with Ron in his garage, before the gym was built. I had always been “active”….I did Jazzercise, walked…all cardio-type activities, but I had never lifted weights. Lifting weights has been the key to the transformation in my body. Ron also helped me with an anti-inflammatory diet, and the results speak for themselves. I feel strong, healthy, and proud of my accomplishments. I’m turning 50 this year, and I’m so thankful to be going into my 50s living a fit lifestyle. Lone Star Barbell Club is not like a traditional gym-It’s truly one of a kind. Ron and Matthew are positive, encouraging, and work diligently with each person individually to achieve results.
Amy M.
At 56 years old after many years working at a computer, I began working out on my own. I made several amateur mistakes (improper form, training volume too high, absence of cardio, trying to ignore and work through a shoulder injury, etc.). Ultimately, I strained a pec muscle. At that point, I realized that I needed to change direction. I began looking for someone who could assess and fix my imbalances, help rehab my injuries, correct my form, and help me get stronger. Through and online search, I found Lone Star Barbell Club. I met with Ron Carroll and explained what I was looking for. He said that he could provide the structure and guidance necessary to help me achieve my goals. He was right! Through his guidance and tutelage, I am well on my way to achieving the success I was looking for. I have nothing but praise for Ron and recommend him at the highest level
