Mississippi Based Personal Trainer Clint Barr Uses Experience as a Former Professional Yankee Catcher And His Passion For Lifestyle Health To Change Lives
Jackson, MS – October 10, 2011 – Clint Barr’s successful personal training business, Raising The Barr Fitness, has set a new standard for the health industry as Barr Trainers teach clients how to take ownership of their bodies, minds and spirits.
In five years, former professional Yankee catcher Clint Barr has grown his business into an explosively successful company. Raising The Barr Trainers have not only helped hundreds of clients in the Jackson, Mississippi area, but also reach thousands of people through their online programs, seminars and books. Barr’s book, 3 Steps to Your Best Body…In Record Time became a best-seller, while Raising The Barr Fitness techniques have been seen on ABC, NBC and in People Magazine. The most important of Barr’s triumphs however can be seen while watching dozens of the heartfelt testimonials that line the pages of Barr’s website.
Barr’s path to success was not an easy one. “It was rocky. I started out all by myself in a 500 square foot room. I had a lot of passion, but not a lot of space—or clients,” he says cheerfully. It is undoubtedly Barr’s optimistic and hardworking attitude that helped him persevere through the challenging times.
Barr’s love for athletics began with baseball. “When I was five years I volunteered to play the position of catcher and have never played another position.” Years later, Barr signed professionally with the New York Yankees. After a series of injuries, Barr was placed in extended spring training and stumbled upon his destiny. “I was working with a lot of the younger rookies. I loved mentoring them. One of the other coaches came up to me and told me that I should coach. It was the first time I had ever considered training people.” Barr went on to get both his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Exercise Science and worked at the USA Olympic Training Center for weightlifting.
Early in his career Barr realized that he had to not only train his clients, but also empower them to make change. This attitude has struck a cord with thousands of clients, putting his method into a totally new category of personal fitness training – working with clients to improve physically, spiritually and emotionally.
