Sam's Mission
"Enjoy being taught how to move properly, lift properly, and be programmed properly.
I believe everyone should be treated like an athlete, tailored flexibility and strength to help you, not break you."
We've proudly created a club culture of belonging and excitement. Weightlifting is an individual sport but it's the team that supports each lifter. No other sport will introduce you to such a mix of diverse people, these friendships would never be formed outside the gym.
