To train champions, you first have to become one.
After a long career as a decorated athlete and then as an award winning coach, Train Hard Win Big founder Barry Swanson always dreamed of training athletes for a living. As a former football player, discus thrower and weight lifter, Barry understands the challenges of being an athlete. That’s why he has dedicated his life to helping athletes reach their full potential and perform at the highest possible level. Barry has since expanded his operation to help everyone stay in shape. From children and adults to fighters and athletes of every sport, Barry does it all.
After 30+ years of training athletes and adults, Barry continues to help his clients become elite by improving their nutrition as well as their bodies, minds, and spirits. Some of Barry’s past clients have gone on to receive collegiate scholarships and dominate in the NCAA. Who knows, the next Train Hard Win Big legend could be you.
