Why strength training?
We are passionate about strength and we believe that getting stronger can help achieve your goals whether it be improved body composition, general physical and mental health, rehab, sports performance or learning a new skill. We also believe that when you make strength the main focus, this becomes a positive journey where everything else, such as body composition, becomes a by product of your progress. Our strength training philosophy is built on the principles of powerlifting where we build programs and training protocols around on the big three compound movements - the barbell back squat, the benchpress and the deadlift.
