We believe that well-coached strength activities is important for all generations physical development, but also our activities can promote social interactions that enrich people’s lives and build confidence.

Members at academies and clubs enjoy the benefits of Weightlifting, strength training and Para Powerlifting. We support our licensed clubs to get more people involved at a local level to benefit from our sport.

Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting provide opportunities for recreation and competition for all ages. Weightlifting training is also an underpinning conditioning activity that enhances performance in all sports.

We have programmes in place to support our athletes on the international stage, and a pathway which develops talented lifters to become higher level athletes, competing successfully within Wales, in UK events and internationally.
