Dar Malecki Co-Owner, Personal Trainer

Dar is the co-owner of Metro Fitness Club. She is also a Personal Trainer and Instructor at Metro Fitness Club. Over the past 25 years Dar has been involved in fitness in varying capacities. She has competed in bodybuilding events as well as numerous power lifting competitions with recent record setting accomplishments including:

·       2009 USAPL American Record for Bench Press, Masters (Raw)
·       2009 USAPL NC State Record for Bench Press, Masters

·       2009 Iron Boy Power lifting NC State Record Bench Press, Open and Masters
·       2010 Iron Boy Power lifting NC State Record Dead Lift, Open and Masters

She likes to compete because she enjoys the competition – finding it fun to set a goal, train for it and try to meet it outside of the club. "It's really a competition against me. Lifting a heavy object, running a long distance or competing in an Iron Man is about self - sometimes just crossing the finish line is a win." Dar likes to take this passion for training to the club to work with others and to share her excitement for fitness. She loves to stay on top of the latest trends and recently has found Kettlebells to be her new love.

Dar holds the following certifications: Cooper Institute, Certified Personal Trainer, MADD Dog Spin Instructor, Art of Strength Kettlebell Instructor and CPR Certified.
