Bar Raising Fitness is opening a new gym in Cascade to give area residents access to sustainable individually-focused fitness training. The business was founded by Brandon Hogan out of his East Dubuque garage in 2018. In 2019 he opened a location in Dubuque and expanded to Dyersville in 2020.
“I’ve played sports my whole life,” said Hogan, “so I’ve always been training and wanted to bring this type of service to the area to help athletes and individuals reach their goals.”
Hogan said Bar Raising Fitness is focused on matching each individual with a fitness routine that meets their particular needs and goals for lasting results.
“We take pride in teaching people how to train the right way. We program individually for each client instead of just having one big workout program for everyone. We take a look at each person, assess where they’re at, what their goals are, then build the program around them, making sure to dial in on their technique and movement to make sure it’s done the right way, and hold them accountable for what’s done outside the facility.
