    Crystal Raby

    Founder / Co-Owner

    With over 22 years as a gym owner and coach, I’ve built a career helping women transform their lives through strength and smart habits. A former award-winning figure competitor and physique coach, I now pour my energy into training everyday, non-competitive women to reach their personal goals—putting health first, every time.

    Bone density and muscle mass are my north stars; they’re the foundation for a vibrant, independent life at any age. Leanness? It’s simply the natural byproduct of consistent, intelligent behaviors: moving well, eating right, and showing up in the right environment. When those pieces align, everything else follows.

    At Honey’s Barbell Club Republic, my private training boutique, I create a space where beginners, moms, athletes, and women with unique needs all thrive side by side. No intimidation, no contracts—just results, accountability, and a community that lifts each other up. Whether through one-on-one coaching, small group classes, or customized plans, I’m here to help you build the strong, healthy body that lets you live life on your terms.
