Solid, international standard equipment and a touch of OCD from the owner’s part guarantees the equipment and platform are always to a high standard!
Scott, Jo and the whole team at PFG are an accomplished and enthusiastic group with a wealth of experience at running comps but also as lifters. They have owned PFG for many years and some of the top lifters in the UK train here.

Notorius 349 Barbell Team hosts a competition once again and, as usual, it will be a sold out meet. This venue has in few years seen over 400kg squats and benches, lifters from 13-year old ladies to 80-year old men and everything possible!
The spotting load is known as a fearless crew of very, very seasoned spotters, and that is the reason many equipped lifters make this competition as their qualifier of choice. That being said, it is also a venue where we’ve had a record breaking amount of teenage lifters (over a dozen teens in one day), despite the fact that Adam Hindle hates teenagers! We consider his annoyance all the more reason for teenagers to sign up!
With Salisbury qualifier you get top quality equipment, top quality spotters and Stonehenge, all in one package!

Scott, the photographic memory boasting owner of the establishment keeps things tidy, but loves having us there to mess his precious gym! Resident powerlifting star Keenan Freer is also on board, and everything from dogs to café to cupping and massage treatments are possible, even when the comp is running.
Atmosphere is intense, but there is enough space for everyone. One would like to say it is a place best suited for those who know the drill, but as almost half of the competitors of our meets there tend to be novices it’s impossible to say it wouldn’t suit them as well. Be ready for loud music, sweaty warmups and intense competition!

Manchester Strength Mecca has hosted superstars like Mateusz Kieliszkowski, Hafthor Bjornsson and Even Ed Coan. This place isn’t a huge complex of million dollar machines, but an understated, fantasy and superhero-themed strength temple, with faithful worshippers conducting their prayers for the Gods of Strength under the surveillance of Reverend Wodyn, Mr Andrzej Roszkowski. The founder and owner of Strength Therapy trains, coaches, eats and sleeps strength with his partner, British and International champion Aleksandra Urbaniak.
This is a place for those who want to lift. No glitz, no glamour, warm-ups will demand patience and experience and this is not a meet for those who easily stress. The reward is to lift in a place where strength is not only revered, it is demanded. With perfect equipment, perfect platform and perfect concentration. This is a competition for extraordinary performances. Now, extraordinary can mean 50kg or it can mean 500kg, as long as it is extraordinary for you.
Be warned. If you sign up to lift at SILA, you are expected to do the best that you humanly can.
