2026 AO Series 1 stats we’re pretty proud of…
76% team make rate
15 platform PRs
7 Youth lifters
6/6 Performances (x3!)
4 Youth National qualifiers
3rd place overall U-13 male
It was a whirlwind and we’ll be happy if we never have 4 different people on 4 different platforms at the same time again…but we wouldn’t trade it for anything.
See you in Colorado Springs 🫡🫡

We’re ready to kick off a busy weekend in Columbus!! We can’t wait to see our lifters showing off all their hard work on the platform 💪🫡
We had a blast running the first Youth Camp! We had a great turn out and loved seeing all the kids lifting heavy together 💪💪
Some clips from a news feature about the amazing work is doing in Kansas City at
It’s amazing to see Jay showing residents that weightlifting is for everyone, and what a massive impact it can have on their health and independence.
Jay still makes time for his own training and you can often find him acting as a TO at national events in between his own lifting. Proud of you on and off the platform Jay. 💚💪

A year ago we decided to double our space… we were nervous about the decision. It was a push for our membership numbers at that point, but it felt like we were on the brink of something, and we needed more space to really break into it.
A year later we have increased our:
Youth membership(10 years old and under) 4x
Junior membership (11-18 years old) 1.5x
Class members (women’s strength, basic strength) 2.5x
We may not be the best at social media and professionally done videos and pictures (hard to believe based off this picture). But, we’re bringing the sport to more and more kids, to the point of needing a second under 10 class. We’re putting a barbell in adults hands to help them be strong as they age, and create a safe third space. The majority of our new people tell us they were recommended by others who come to the gym.
We are so thankful to our community for the wild growth in the last year. If you guys keep this up… we need to find a bigger space 😂💚 here’s to 2026.

We’re excited to continue partnering with and kick off 2026 with a new offering in our Youth Series- Youth Camp!!
Our goal is to create a space before National events where kids can get together, lift heavy weights, and enjoy the support from other kids their age.
Join us on Saturday Feb 14 from 12pm-3pm for some heavy lifts and post training food. Link in bio to sign up, no cost.
wrapped up our Daytona Beach weekend with their first American Open Finals appearance.
They had a 5/6 day with an 84 sn**ch and a 105 clean and jerk for a 189 total and competition PRs across the board.
Since joining the team almost a year ago, they’ve consistently showed up, worked hard and added 13kg to their total, with no signs of slowing down.
They’ll look to put on another 4kg to that total this spring to earn their spot in their first senior nationals 👀
.m3dina took the platform at and had a 3/6 day sn**ching 85 and clean and jerking 124 for a 209 total. He took a run at 128 which would have secured 3rd place for him.
We can’t wait to see him take another crack at it and make it at The Arnold!

lifted in her 10th Senior American Open Finals and Worlds to close out her final year in the 35-39 age group.
She had a 4/6 day sn**ching 80 and clean and jerking 96 for a 176 total. She took home gold and set 3 world records, and swept gold in her age group for American Open Finals as well.
Looking forward to her rehabbing and getting healthy for a big Nationals in June!
Kiera had a 4/6 day at AO Finals! She tackled a 40kg sn**ch which has been a big mental milestone for her and then also hit a 55kg clean and jerk for meet PRs across the board and a 95kg PR total.
It was a super cool opportunity for Kiera to lift in an entire session of strong girls her age and see what’s possible for her too!
lifted in her first National meet, and realized things can feel (and look) a little different on a stage.
She showed a lot of focus and grit, hitting her third sn**ch after two misses at 62, and then had a 2/3 day on clean and jerk, hitting 74 for a 136 total.
She’s ready to take on Virus Series 1 in March with this experience under her belt, and will be ready for those bright lights 😎
