The American Barbell Association (ABA) is dedicated to fostering a culture of health, strength, and wellness within the legal profession. We recognize that the demands of legal education and practice often lead to neglect of physical wellbeing, contributing to the profession's high rates of stress, burnout, and related health issues. To address these challenges, the ABA strives to create a community where law students can develop sustainable fitness habits alongside their legal education, building both physical and mental resilience that will serve them throughout their careers.

The ABA provides accessible fitness opportunities for law students of all experience levels, organizes group training sessions and wellness events, shares evidence-based information on training and nutrition, and facilitates connections between fitness-minded legal professionals. We aim to inspire a generation of legal professionals who value their physical health as an essential component of professional success.
