Best Weightlifting Area Concord Near Me

4worldlovers: So, a lot can change in a year. We all know this, we’ve all experienced it (2020, am I right?), and we all constantly remind ourselves of it, but we often never act on it. Don’t deny it, you always have this idea of “when I get to it” or “I’ll get to it soon” and most times we don’t. Be it calling a friend, creating a boundary, applying for a job, etc.. we are in this constant flux of “what if.” I myself was in a constant state of “I’ll be happy when,” or “I’ll feel better about myself when...” and I never did anything about it; I just waited around for some biblical miracle to happen, which I knew never would.

That’s the thing about being unhappy; you can tell yourself all the reasons why you feel unhappy but then you find yourself struggling to find ways to deal with it. It’s crippling, which in turn creates comfort. This is not the kind of comfort you should be okay with, it in fact is the kind that is most problematic for the exact issue at hand; being unhappy. It really messes with your head.

A little over a year ago (closer to a year and a half ago) a friend of mine, Ashleigh, joined a gym called Diablo Barbell (@diablobarbell) and couldn’t stop talking about it. I mean, COULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. To the point I had thought she had gotten caught up in some sort of weird weight lifting cult and, honestly, thought she had lost it. The thing was, she was seeing results. She was making choices that were conducive to her overall well being and physical health; she wasn’t wrong to be proud of what she had accomplished. She, in fact, did not join a cult (just so everyone at this point knows). She often told me to come try a class with her, and at one point offered to to comp me one of her classes just so I could see what it was all about. I took the bait. I thought, “okay, I’ll go just so she will stop telling me how great it was,” and was remarkably put in my place in regard to my perspective of what she had signed up for. I LOVED IT! It was fun, it was challenging, there were great coaches (which are all still great, just incase that wasn’t clear); all of which I desperately needed at the time despite my not really knowing it. I signed up that day, I was hooked.


Fast forward to a year from that moment, exactly one year today, and let’s take a look. I’ve successfully lost 35 lbs (most of which was fat, not muscle), I’ve started training to get my certification in personal training so I can help others as well as bring a better understanding of the body to my students, I have a better outlook on my day to day mental health and outlook towards life, I have found something new that I feel pretty good at doing, it makes me happy, I’ve met some amazing new friends, and I’ve realized that life really is what you make of it. That’s not to say that everyday is rainbows and butterflies, but when those “rainy days and Mondays” come around, I have the tools, the skills, and the community to look at it with a perspective that keeps me from losing sight of the bigger picture.


I’ve, truly, started to learn that I can be in control of my happiness. Fully grasping the idea that I could actually do something about my situation was something I hadn’t really every believed I could do. I gave it a year, it worked. Patience, trust, dedication, and some really good lifting shoes, were all I needed at this point.


This post isn’t only a shameless plug for my gym (seriously, check them out @diablobarbell), but a testament to the fact that “what ifs” and the “it will work when...”’s are literally the BIGGEST thing holding you back. Just F#**ing do it. Seriously, just go. Get up, go outside (wear a mask please), and do it. I’m quite proud of myself and I am so grateful to the people who have helped me in this adventure of weights, sweat, sore muscles, and at times frustration. If this last year is any indication of what is possible then 34 will be even better, pandemic be damned.

We provide a welcoming environment where everyone can achieve their fitness goals in one or all of our amazing services: Concord CrossFit, Pilates, Martial Arts, and Aerial Art.


I found Concord Crossfit to be a welcoming and “family-like” environment. Being with other people seeking the goal of fitness and weight loss helped me stay motivated and energized to take on this tremendous challenge!

Everybody is very friendly and welcoming. I remember someone telling me "we all been in your place before", and it only gets better. Everyday is a new work out so never a dull moment.


Concord Cross Fit is really welcoming for everyone from beginners ... There are people of all ages from teens to 60s working out together, working hard and encouraging each other. It's just a really friendly place to improve your body.

4worldlovers:
At Anytime Fitness Concord, the support is real and it starts the moment we meet. Our coaches don’t have one plan that fits everyone, they develop a plan that fits you – a total fitness experience designed around your abilities, your body, and your goals. Your plan will contain a 360 approach to your health and will cover important areas other gyms simply can’t. The first step? Contact us today so we can get started. We can’t wait!


Our staff is ready and waiting to welcome you, understand your personal goals and get you started with a customized plan. Come say, “hi,” and the AF family will take it from there. Promise.

No matter where you are in your fitness journey, we provide you with the best resources to reach your goals. That’s why we offer a variety of personalized training options and guidance.

What makes our 24/7 gyms special isn’t our weight rack or our treadmills—of course, we have those things, but what sets us apart from other gyms is the people inside our four walls. Our goal is to help you tackle anything that stands in the way of a healthier you, together. We know fitness journeys don’t follow a straight line and our coaches are fluent in helping you get back on track after detours. We are ready to meet you where you’re at, build a customized plan that works for you and keep you feeling motivated, strong and confident.

At Concord Concord Ave, our coaches are experts in personal training, but they’re different than the personal trainers you may be used to. A trainer tells you what to do. A coach works with you, listens, and doesn’t stop thinking about your progress when the workout is finished. Your fitness needs are unique and a one-size fits all approach isn’t going to cut it. That’s why our coaches don’t create a plan for you until after you get to know each other. Makes sense, right? And don’t be surprised if you ever get a text from them when you least expect it. They like to check in.

Connect with your coach anytime, anywhere with the Anytime Fitness Coaching app​
