In the Spotlight: LGBT History Month Outlift Barbell Club
They even have a private gym space, and gender-neutral changing rooms.
What is powerlifting? It’s a sport where you train to be as strong as possible in the barbell squat, bench and deadlift for competition. There’s no pressure to compete however, and many people just really enjoy the getting strong part.
The group welcomes all levels, especially beginners, even if you’ve never picked up a weight in your life, they have trained professionals on hand to help!
They aim to be as inclusive as possible and are also open to people with disabilities - bench press is a huge Paralympic sport after all!
