But the name itself, “Neuse,” has a special significance.

Nelson shared, “It had to come from the regionality of the landmark. I mean, for it to be downtown, it just seemed like it was the best option. ‘Neuse’ explains everything. It’s down-home in Kinston. It’s nothing off the wall. Everybody knows where it is.”

With a commitment to promoting a healthier lifestyle and fostering a sense of community, the Neuse Barbell Club under Nelson’s guidance is the newest addition to Kinston’s fitness scene.

As the club continues to grow, it promises to provide an environment where individuals can achieve their fitness goals while forging lasting friendships along the way.

In the end, her vision for Neuse Barbell Club is to create a place where everyone feels welcome, and where fitness becomes not just a daily routine but a lifelong journey toward a healthier, happier life.
