Bar-G Fitness

Hi, my name is Drew Barga and I am passionate about fitness! As your Personal Trainer, I will create a program that will address all of your needs and fitness goals.


I first became interested in fitness and strength training in high school as a nerdy 15 year old kid. I wanted to become a football player. I began strength training at the local YMCA and went from 180 pounds to a strong 215 pounds my senior year. During that time I transformed myself into the starting tight end and captain of the football team.


After graduation, I got my first job as the Assistant Fitness Manager of Appalachian Physical Therapy and Fitness Center in 2001. It was there that I began my career as a certified personal trainer. Over the next two years I lost over 60 lbs of body fat.


In Richmond, VA I was the Assistant Fitness Director of American Family Fitness Centers. I honed my personal training and management skills. My boss and I opened a brand new 40,000 sq ft fitness facility.


In 2005 I was hired as the Program Manager of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Fitness Center, a corporate gym for the Department of Energy in Washington, DC. I trained clients, taught group exercise classes and became an all around fitness guru.


I have the background and experience to successfully guide you to health and fitness. I have had many clients tell me I make their workouts fun and exciting. The ultimate reward for me is seeing a client transition to becoming more confident and happy!
