Learn proper lifting technique for building muscle and gaining strength
WHAT IS Powerbuilding?
Our hybrid method for adding strength and muscle.
We combine powerlifting and bodybuilding to get give you the best of both worlds.
Why should i powerbuild?
Strength training unlocks major benefits. It improves healthspan, cognitive abilities, functional fitness, and athletic performance.
Regardless of your goals, a structured resistance training plan should be part of your overall fitness.
The most effective plans, according to the latest research, include heavy barbell lifting. By focusing on foundational movements like squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows, you'll engage multiple muscle groups, enhancing coordination, balance, and stability.
But you can really take your results to the next level by adding a variety of other movements at higher repetitions - and pushing close to failure.
That’s where we come in. Our programs includes expert coaching so you can master the squat, bench, and deadlift while also receiving personalized workouts.
You show up. We take care of the rest. We’ll help you push harder when needed, but also let you know when to hold back or take an extra day of recovery.
While heavy compound lifts are the basis of class, you’ll also receive accessory movements based on your specific needs. Want to master a pull-up? We can program that. Need extra work to build your core? Get ready for some dynamic landmine exercises.
Each session is tailored to challenge your limits, progressively increasing weight to ensure continuous improvement.
Not only do barbells make you stronger, they increase your self-confidence and self-perception. This class is perfect for anyone seeking the mental benefits of strength in their everyday life or sport.
