Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups and levels of lifters do you train?
We have lifters of all ages and abilities! Some of the best weightlifters and powerlifters of all time started when they were under 10 years old. Whether you are a beginner or have lifted for years, we have a place for you on our team.
Do you only take competitive athletes?
We have a lot of competitive athletes in our community but we do not require our athletes to compete in weightlifting or powerlifting.
Do athletes need to eat a certain way to train with you?
Since weightlifting and powerlifting are weight-class based strength sports, we have the option of adding nutrition coaching services to your training. Nutrition education is important but we do not require our athletes to eat any particular way.
What is your ratio of male to female lifters?
We currently have about a 60:40 ratio of male to female lifters.
