I am incredibly grateful for the time I have spent working with Coach Paul. For the first time, I can honestly say I feel confident in my own skin and accepting of how my body looks and feels.I began my nutrition and fitness journey just a couple of weeks before finding out I was pregnant. Nothing about my journey has been linear. Throughout it all, Paul has been great at helping me adapt and pivot accordingly. His guidance is firm but fair, and the growth I have experienced, both physically and mentally, has given me an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.I am thankful not only for embracing the process, but for trusting it. I never imagined I would be able to confidently say, “I am in the best shape of my life,” even compared to before pregnancy. Having the strength and energy to fully enjoy endless outdoor adventures with my toddler has made all of the hard work worthwhile.Thank you, Paul, for helping me become the strongest, healthiest, and most confident version of myself.

Working with Coach Paul has been an incredible experience. Thanks to his guidance, I have completely achieved all of my weight, strength, and performance goals, while significantly decreasing my body fat index. What sets Paul apart isn't just the physical results—it's the knowledge and education he provides. I am walking away not only with the physical changes I wanted, but with the genuine confidence and tools needed to maintain my weight and strength long-term. If you are looking for a coach who delivers results and sets you up for lifetime success, I cannot recommend Coach Paul highly enough!

The Bar, more specifically Paul Campbell is incredible. Paul has been my strength and nutrition coach for the last year consistently. He helped me reach my performance goals and better understand my nutrition and how to fuel my body for my specific energy needs. Paul has been a game changer for me taking me up a level in my performance and recovery. His knowledge, honesty and encouragement have been a huge catalyst in my gains this past year. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul or The Bar if you’re serious about leveling up and making changes to your fitness performance.Thank you Coach Paulie you are amazing.

One of my favorite places to be! The trainers are so knowledgeable but also super down to earth and easy to talk to. You can tell they really care and actually pay attention to you, not just run you through a workout.The women's barbell classes are my favorite. They’re challenging in the best way, and everything feels intentional and individualized. I’ve learned so much about proper form and feel way stronger and more confident because of it.It’s a really welcoming, supportive place with great coaching. Highly recommend if you want real progress and trainers who actually know their stuff. :)

I can’t say enough good things about this gym and the staff. I have trained there for a little over a year working with John Ray. Both Coach Paulie and John have been amazing! Creating a fun supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to show up and work hard! Not only did I see great progress, but I also mentally became stronger and healthier too. For so long I had been hesitant about starting my fitness journey because I thought I wouldn’t be able to achieve my goals. The bar 406 proved that wrong and I couldn’t be happier. I learned so much this last year, not only lifting and sprinting but also about understanding my sleep, nutrition, and recovery, all this allowed me to actually achieve the results I wanted to! I absolutely recommend this gym and their trainers to anyone interested! Thank you guys for all that you do!

Stopped in for a week, the bar was excellent! Comprehensive equipment and kind staff.

2025-12-27T23:15:12.271Z

Beautiful, well appointed gym! Trainers Nikki and Paul are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone in the area :)

If you’re looking for a supportive and encouraging environment to start your fitness journey, The Bar is where you should begin. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely want to see you succeed. The women in the Women’s Barbell class are friendly and welcoming, and it’s an amazing environment for both beginners and seasoned athletes alike.The programming keeps you coming back day after day. The workouts target every muscle group and can be modified for any fitness level, and the coaches are right there with you every step of the way. I can’t thank Coach Paul, Coach John, and Coach Anthony enough. They’ve given me the confidence, strength, and accountability I was missing. I’m healthier, stronger, and happier because of this place.If you’re on the fence, just go. You won’t regret it.

The best! I started following Coach Paulie when a friend of mine shared that she had been working with him one on one for a while. I was looking to reach some health and fitness goals and finally decided to reach out. I'm so glad I did! Coach Paulie has helped me reach my goals and achieve more than I thought possible in the 5 months we've been working together. He gave me a plan tailored to my goals, and has helped me work through it week by week. His expertise, encouragement, authenticity, and direction are so very appreciated. He keeps it real and doesn't subscribe to all of the trendy fitness influencer bs that's out there. He shows you not only how to reach your goals, but how to sustain a fit and healthy lifestyle for the long haul. Highly recommend! Thanks, Coach!

I met Paul on a hunting trip. After that trip I started following him on Instagram. I was intrigued by his knowledge of both nutrition and fitness in his daily posts. Prior to this I had been working out for almost a year and had only been seeing marginal results. I reached out to Paul and began using him as my trainer. In the past 5 months my back pain Is gone and I am seeing awesome results. I highly recommend the services Paul provides!!!

I've worked with Coach Paulie several times in the past few years. Each time, he's helped me accomplish my goals including fat loss and muscle gain phases. His approach is better than any other coach I've worked with in the past. In particular, his tips to navigate challenging scenarios where I previously would get off track have been incredibly helpful.

2025-06-26T16:28:44.203Z

I've been going to Coach Paulie at The Bar for about a 1 1/2 years. He's a great owner and trainer! Would highly recommend.

I have never had a gym membership before because gyms make me VERY anxious and self conscious. I always felt like an imposter or an interloper. The entire vibe of The Bar is different and warm and welcoming. Even though I have never done this before, the people and the space make me feel like I belong and there is NO JUDGMENT. I love the colors and the way the giant doors open to the outside and the fact that all the people feel real. This new health journey I am on feels much more possible because of this space. Also, Jamie is an amazing trainer/health coach! She makes me feel like a fitness goddess even though I am still a beginner!

2025-04-26T01:21:05.703Z

Coach Paulie and his team were exactly what we were looking for helping our 14 year old with strength athleticism and most importantly confidence. Highly recommend.

Awesome little barbell gym that hosts occasional competitions. If you are looking to move some weights this is a good place to do it. Free weights and some unique machines supporting multi joint movement.

2024-11-21T22:21:26.962Z

This is a great gym! They offer everything you need without all the fluff. They are NOT a Spa or Athletic Club they are a gym. Cody helped me recover after a stroke and got me back to normal. Thank you for your support and guidance.

Working with Coach Paulie has been amazing! I have always had an active lifestyle and have always been in good shape, but since working with The Bar I have learned what a good balance of proper food intake and exercise can do for someone. I have lost 20+ lbs and gained good muscle mass. I am able to hike further and faster, carrying 35+ lb packs, than I did when I was in my twenties (I’m mid 40’s now). Working with The Bar and Coach Paulie has been a life changing experience!

Paul & Nikki have made a huge positive impact on my outlook, mobility & strength since I joined six months ago. Both are experts at tailoring to target specific needs due to injuries, age and other limitations. The small class size and personal attention provided by my new workout family is truly inspiring! I love going & the workouts fly by quickly!

2024-10-08T22:12:15.750Z

Perfect small, clean, iron jungle. (If you're looking for a big health club, this is not it.) My boys do sports conditioning there and they love the atmosphere. Thank you!

2024-10-04T19:39:00.130Z

Friendly staff and patrons. Great personal trainers. Excellent new equipment. A great place to get fit. Never crowded.

2024-10-04T18:28:09.356Z

Wonderful facility and equipment, the place is clean everyone is friendly and willing to teach and help.

2024-10-03T11:06:44.460Z

Paul and his crew are top notch! Our son has been enrolled in one of the youth sessions and loves going to the gym EVERY single time. It is nice knowing that he is working out and learning in an environment that looks out for both his body and his mind.

They have the most knowledgeable Trainer I’ve ever had. The facility has everything we could need, great environment, clean, great updated equipment. I would highly recommend the Bar and Full Curl.

2024-10-01T20:58:06.256Z

The Bar always provides a clean, friendly, welcoming environment to train in. Nice recent expansion and they are constantly adding new equipment. 5-star place!

2024-10-01T20:07:46.054Z

Coach Paulie is a wealth of wisdom, motivation, and energy. I've worked with him for over two years and have come out the other side a much better person because of him!

2024-09-05T01:33:50.931Z

Listen, both Paul and Nikki are amazing. There is no need to look any further. This is your gym:-)

2023-06-12T23:57:04.221Z

The Bar is an inclusive, fun space which provides cardio equipment, room to stretch, multiple weight machines and top of the line free weight options. The space is clean, professional and comfortable, and often has the bonus of doggo friends to cheer you on. Coach Paulie llc and his wife Nikki provide multiple training options and online coaching to clients of all age ranges and skill levels. Paul’s expertise in the fitness, health and nutrition industry is top notch and his space at The Bar can’t be beat. Highly recommend connecting with Paul and Nikki at The Bar, wonderful people doing great things in Montana City!
