Lakeside Weightlifting

Fantastic experience: Been at this gym for a few months now, fantastic coaches, members and facilities. I was new to Olympic Weightlifting but felt very well supported by the coaches every session. Liz has been especially helpful with working on my mobility issues as well. Everyone there is very supportive and welcoming no matter the weight you're lifting, would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending the youth sessions for around a year. The coaching has been excellent and the effects that strength training has had on my daughter’s other sports and also her confidence has been immeasurable. Would fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: I enrolled on a Learn to Lift Beginners Weightlifting course in 2019 on a whim and I’m still here 5 years later! I honestly couldn’t see my life without some form of strength training in it now, and it’s all down to Liz, her awesome team of coaches, and the supportive community that has been built here.

Fantastic experience: The most supportive and welcoming lifting club with an amazing community! The best bit of my day is training here and getting to learn more about weightlifting every session!

Fantastic experience: A very friendly and inclusive club! All ages, all abilities, with programmes designed to help meet your fitness goals. Love going there to train

Fantastic experience: Gives you that personal time to support your progress. Good induction and introduction to the team. Exceptionally friendly environment ❤️

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of visiting a park with serene lakes and abundant wildlife, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The sight of graceful swans, playful ducks, and majestic geese added a charming touch to the landscape. The presence of cows further added to the rustic charm of the place. One of the standout features of this park is the opportunity for fishing, exclusively available to permit holders. The serene lakes provide an ideal setting for anglers to unwind and try their luck at catching some fish. This added a unique dimension to the park's offerings and catered to those with an interest in fishing. For families with young children, a ride on the narrow-gauge railway proved to be an absolute joy. The little ones were thrilled as they hopped aboard the train and took a scenic ride around the park. The excitement on their faces was truly priceless, making it a memorable experience for everyone. A highlight of my visit was the quaint Caffè nestled within the park. After a leisurely stroll, it was a treat to sit down, sip a beverage, and relax on one of the benches. The ambiance was soothing, and the 10-15 minutes I spent there provided a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the natural beauty around. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this park to anyone seeking a serene escape from the city. The picturesque lakes, diverse wildlife, fishing opportunities, and family-friendly activities make it a well-rounded destination. Whether you're enjoying the company of animals, indulging in a bit of fishing, riding the charming train, or simply taking a moment for yourself at the Caffè, this park has something for everyone. Don't miss the chance to visit this remarkable place—it's an experience that's worth every moment.

Fantastic experience: Top gym. I walked in knowing nothing about Olympic weightlifting and quickly got to the point of entering competitions thanks to the coaching here. Great coaches and a nice, community atmosphere that is very welcoming. Recommend to anyone who wants to get started in the sport.

Fantastic experience: I’m from the US and was temporarily over in the UK for 2 months and needed a gym and trainer who could work with me for a short amount of time before heading back home. Liz was so accommodating and happily helped me even though I was only going to be with her temporarily. In such a short amount of time she has really helped me to fix my form and give me incredibly helpful advice that I can take home with me. I’m so sad to leave her and her adorable dog, Donald! Such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely use Lakeside Weightlifting whenever I’m over on this side of the pond ☺️‍♀️
