Preston Weightlifting Club

I cannot speak more highly of Preston weightlifting club or of Alex & Jake. Alex and Jake are professional, attentive and highly skilled coaches that create a safe and fun environment to learn how to lift.They tailor their coaching style to each individual, meeting you where you are at to ensure you get the best out of each session. It is clear that Jake and Alex are invested in each individuals’s developments and go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. Before joining I had really bad ‘gym anxiety’ and struggled to achieve my goals in public gyms but after attending Preston Weightlifting club for a year I am much more confident both in the gym and in other aspects of my life. I put this down to the friendly, non-judgemental vibe of the gym as well as the impeccable coaching I have received. This is a great weightlifting and powerlifting club for beginners and experienced lifters.

When I first started I couldn't deadlift 80kg, I had OK form on squat and still couldn't get over 90kg on squat and bench was 30kg.After working with Jake for 2 years I have competed nationally and got my squat to 137kg, deadlift to 145kg and bench to 65kg. I have now qualified for Europeans 2023 and just got my 5rm at 135kg on deadlift - whoop!Jake works with me mentally and with my nutrition, I can message him whenever I need to and he gives me support with all of my training and things that may impact it too. Jake is worth every penny and the atmosphere at a lifting class is always amazing, friendly for beginners and experienced lifters. I went from 59kg to 69kg but look better than I ever have at 30 years old.

Jake & Alex are both fantastic weightlifting coaches. Highly recommend them both and their classes.

I’ve been working with Jake for over a year now, my and my weight loss goals have been smashed losing over 40kg! Sessions are not just about that though, my mental health has hugely improved and I couldn’t ask for a better coach through this process. If you’re looking for a dependable trainer with vast knowledge and who genuinely cares, Jake’s the guy for you.

Really good classes. Jake and Alex are really sound, and know their stuff. There's a really good vibe to the classes as well: relaxed, and most importantly... no egos!

Helped me fix my oly lifting technique and I’ve managed to increase my pbs across the board.

Great for Olympic Lifting
