Stand Fast Weightlifting

Stand Fast Weightlifting, located in London, is a weightlifting facility offering both individual and group training options. Whether you're a novice lifter looking to learn the snatch, clean and jerk, and improve squat form, or a competition lifter aiming to perfect the lifts for CrossFit or lifting competitions, Stand Fast Weightlifting has a programme for you.

For those seeking individual coaching, sessions are available by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. These sessions come with follow-up video analysis to ensure proper technique and progress. Additionally, group coaching sessions are offered on Saturdays, with a maximum of six participants per session to provide individual attention to each lifter.

Novice lifters are encouraged to begin with individual coaching, which also serves as an assessment of their current abilities. Once the initial training session is completed, they have the option to join the group training sessions, subject to availability. These group sessions are structured as a minimum four-week programme and focus on improving strength ratios and overall form.

Competition lifters can benefit from Stand Fast Weightlifting's one-to-one coaching sessions, also available by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Wednesdays and Saturdays are designated for small group training sessions, allowing lifters to follow their own personalised programmes while enjoying a supportive and friendly training environment.

For those who prefer online coaching, both one-to-one and group sessions can be arranged by appointment. This option is ideal for individuals looking to minimise costs and eliminate travel time. Online coaching sessions are scheduled individually once the lifter is enrolled in an established programme.

Stand Fast Weightlifting also provides informative blog articles on various weightlifting topics. These articles cover subjects such as the benefits of training in a group environment, the importance of weightlifting kit, and tips for continual progress. The website offers a contact page for inquiries and a schedule to be announced for upcoming sessions.
