Discover Wellington’s new home for barbell strength training, technique, and community. Our workshops provide you with expert guidance to get the most out of your strength training, whether you’re competing in powerlifting or looking to get stronger for life.
Train smarter and lift stronger with Wellington’s expert strength coaches.
Our Wellington Barbell Strength Club is for anyone looking to hone their barbell techniques and progress lifts in a supportive and structured environment.
You’re not alone. Even the most experienced lifters can feel stuck. With so much conflicting advice out there, it’s hard to know what will actually help you break through and move forward safely. Our Wellington strength coaches will help you gain effective and sustainable progress. Whether you're chasing PBs or simply want to train pain free, our expert strength coaches are here to help you get stronger with purpose and precision.
Each month we deep dive into key elements of a barbell lift, breaking down the mechanics of squatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, and more. Whether you’re refining the basics or troubleshooting sticking points in your movement, you’ll walk away with tools you can immediately apply in your training.
Train alongside like minded people who take their training seriously, but still know how to have fun. It’s a space where encouragement is the norm and everyone wants to see each other succeed.
Each workshop is capped at just 12 people to ensure you get plenty of individual attention and coaching.
Every workshop is built around teaching you skills you can carry into your own training. You’ll learn functional anatomy, how to assess your technique, understand programming principles, and make informed decisions about your progress; not just how to follow a workout.
Our experienced coaches bring years of personal lifting, coaching, and competitive experience to the table. You'll gain insights drawn from working with hundreds of clients, so you can avoid common mistakes and accelerate your own journey.
Strength training isn’t just about lifting as heavy as you can, all the time. It’s about thoughtful training, with periodised purpose, intention, and longevity in mind. We’ll help you build muscle, improve joint function, and develop confidence under the bar in a way that supports your goals; whether it’s for your powerlifting goals or for life.
When I started training more seriously for strength training, and eventually powerlifting, I was always on the lookout for opportunities to enhance my understanding of the body. How to improve my technique, reduce the likelihood of injuries, and understand the intricacies of each lift. Now, through years of training myself and clients to get strong safely, I want to pass this knowledge along to other intermediate lifters in a consistent & structured format.
