Nick founded the Cedar Street Barbell Club was founded in May of 2018. He felt stuck in his 9 to 5 job – there was no passion behind his work and he wanted something more.

After finding a fitness routine he loved, Nick wanted to share his passion with the world. Cedar Street Barbell was built completely from scratch by Nick.

Nick had always been big into fitness from the time he was a wrestler in high school. After high school, Nick joined a few different commercial gyms but was not finding the fitness plan and structure he needed there.

Feeling lost, he tried a few different types of fitness trends, such as Crossfit, but the overall Crossfit routine was not satisfying his fitness needs. One part of the Crossfit workout Nick really enjoyed was the barbell strength training, specifically the snatch, the clean, and the jerk, common weightlifting movements. So, he decided to pursue that.

During his Crossfit experience, Nick learned what a barbell club was. While looking for gyms exclusively offering barbell strength training, Nick only came across one gym in Philadelphia – North Barbell Club.

This club changed Nick’s life. Barbell strength training gave his fitness journey the direction he was so desperately seeking. After 4 years of training at North Barbell, Nick decided to open Cedar Street Barbell Club.

To Nick, having the idea for the business and having its grand opening is easy. The hard part is the business’ maintenance and the day-to-day business operations.
