What We Do – Powerlifting & Weightlifting Club London
We run classes, workshops, and private sessions in all aspects of strength building, led by British powerlifting and strength training experts.
We work with complete beginners through to competitive athletes to help all of our clients achieve their fitness, athletic and competing goals. We’re based in London, UK – come see us!
All our classes and workshops are listed below. You can see the class timetable and book an event via the calendar.
How It Works
Our main services are Weightlifting, Strongman and Powerlifting classes. We run classes at our gym in London West Ham and online.
For new members that are lifting beginners, you’ll need to complete an introductory session before joining regular classes. If you are an experienced lifter, you can drop into classes or train on your own in the gym.
Gym memberships are available at our gym in London West Ham, working around the class schedule. It’s a small gym so we all have to work together and share the space and equipment.
We have both indoor and outdoor space available. Pre-booking for all sessions and classes is essential, at least 2 hours before the session time.
Olympic Weightlifting (snatch, clean & jerk)
Olympic Weightlifting regular classes (men/women) – regular weekly classes for beginners to intermediates. In this class we aim to improve technique and strength in the snatch and the clean & jerk. We hold our own club competitions and also compete in open events around the region.
