UPDATE: Stone Gym was a Mens Only gym, but has recently expanded to help women live their best lives and be the best version of themselves! This is not your typical gym/health club type establishment. Everyday, Eric Barber (with about 20 years of fitness training experience) personally designs and leads you through a (usually gruelling) workout. Classes usually last about an hour, including stretching, warm-up, and cool-down. He teaches 5 classes a day (2 in the morning, 1 at noon, 2 in the evening), 5 days a week, and 1 class on Saturday, so you can get in great workouts no matter what your schedule. Classes are small enough that Eric gets to pay close attention to everyone to ensure workouts are done safely (and also to make sure theres no slacking!!). I completed Erics 6-Week Challenge (a mixture of diet, exercise, and lifestyle tips). I lost 14 pounds and went from 27.9% to 21.8% body fat... IN 6 WEEKS!! Between August and December, I shed an additional 10 pounds. Do yourself a favor and call about a free workout. Youve got nothing to lose (except body fat) and everything to gain!!!

I love this gym! Eric at Stone Gym knows his stuff. In 4 weeks I have lost 1.5% body fat and I have said goodbye to girl push-ups. I am amazed with my results. The workouts are never the same and are challenging. Eric is so experienced and knowledgeable, he is worth every penny. No other program like it in the springs. The people that I workout with are supportive and push me to be better. Best gym around!

Eric is the man! He’s an incredible coach, athlete, and friend. His wealth of knowledge and experience helps me continually improve. He’s the kind of guy that takes the time to understand exactly what you need as an individual to be the best you can be. It’s obvious that he cares for each of his athletes, and it’s no wonder we all consider him much more than a fantastic coach. Unwaveringly recommended!!

Eric Barber is a phenomenal coach and better person. It was a blessing for me as an athlete and individual to train under Eric for approximately 6 months before he left Tulsa. In that time, Eric’s wealth of knowledge and passion for physical fitness produced numerous fitness feats. Two noteworthy and lifetime personal records for me were a bench press of 200 pounds and deadlift of 415 with a body weight of approximately 165/170.More than the actual results, Eric is a great person to be around. He’s constantly encouraging, supportive, and friendly to anyone lucky enough to cross his path.I highly recommend to any person, regardless of their fitness level or experience, to try Stone Gym!

A friendly and supportive environment. Eric is the real deal. He is an expert on exercises, can put together a workout and point out corrections in his sleep and, oh yeah, his diet program is an underrated secret weapon.

Eric Barber coached me when he was the owner of Next Generation CrossFit and he was amazingly effective. I went from having weight issues to being able to do muscle-ups and other things I never thought I’d do. Eric is able to engage and encourage the people he coaches and is always pushing his athletes to be better. Absolutely give him a visit at Stone Gym.

I started training with Eric ten years ago. I’d never been fit before and was significantly overweight. Eric helped me get a solid eating and exercise plan going and I ended up losing 55lbs over 6 months. I also started running 5ks and was soon staying in the top 3 for my age and weight.This all happened due to encouragement, Eric keeping me focused on form and the small wins. I’d recommend Eric to anyone wanting to know how to really get fit.

Im 62 years old and was thinking I was in the season of slowing down. I started training with Eric a couple of months ago and now Im hooked. The workouts are amazing, Ive lost 13 lbs (and I wasnt even trying to lose weight... that was a bonus) and I feel more in shape and fit than ever before. Eric is exceptional in his knowledge and teaching skills. I have never looked forward to a workout session until now. And... My wife compliments me on how I look all the time.

Eric Barber is the man that changed my physical and mental outlook on life! I was 49 year old man with a right hip labrum tear that had become chronic over the last 3 years. Limited mobility with extreme pain that was preventing me from sleeping at night. I knew about hip arthroscopic surgery and was willing to try anything to avoid surgery. The first time I met Eric I told him everything that I cant do, which was pretty much any cross fit exercise that required any lower extremity move. After a brief discussion, Eric said well lets see you do what you THINK you cant do! We started with mobility exercises and band strengthening. After the first few work outs my hip would be burning while driving home, but to my amazement and great prayer the next day I did not hurt! At 1 month I was fully able to do every exercise he programmed. 6 months later I turned 50 and attempted and finished the notorious USA work out Murph with flying colors. A year and half later, I am still pain free and going strong at cross fit training. Eric is a true friend and a man I will never forget! If you want your life changed! Go see Eric!

I fell in love with Stone Gym almost immediately. They offer a free week for you to try the gym out, and I went 4 times in that first week, I was hooked. There are a few things I really love1. I dont have to think about how/what to work out each day, all the workouts are planned for me, my job is just to show up and challenge myself.2. The coaching is top notch. I walk away from every workout not just more fit, but also more educated and empowered.3. The people! There isnt a single person Ive met here that isnt just awesome. Every person who joins Stone seems to have a pre-requisite of positivity, and joy, and its contagious and fun!4. I actually WANT to workout. I was the kind of girl who said her whole life, Im not a gym rat ( I was more of a walk outside when I feel like it and go to Zumba a couple times a week) but now, I find myself craving the cardio and weightlifting.“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”Jim Rohn

I was introduced to CrossFit years ago through Eric and I have not looked back ever since. Not only did I fall in love with CrossFit, I fell in love with the environment and the community that Eric set in place in his gym. Thank you Erik for your patience and dedication to technique, it made me the athlete I am today!
