Ava Biesterfeld, RD, MA is set to take the stage Saturday here in Dallas at the American Open Series 2!
So excited for her to show all the work she’s put in. She’s been crushing training and has her eyes set on some big goals. Closing out 2026 to set her up for a huge 2027 with many opportunities ahead. I’m always so proud watching her step out in the platform she is FIERCE!!

Go Ava you’re incredible!!

Goodluck to two of our athletes competing this weekend
Normally make individual posts but these pics were too good 😂Talk about throwback!

George Upmeyer is competing at the FISU University World Championships representing Team USA 🇺🇸🇶🇦
He aims to win, become a world champion, and qualify for the National Team with USAW.

Henry Ludbrook is competing at the American Open Series 2 in Dallas. He aims to hit some PR’s and has his sights set on the Junior World Team Totals.

Both have been working very hard and I’m excited to see them leave it all out there. They have both been in my program for a long time now and have developed into some incredible young men. Love you boys. Let’s go!!!!

One year ago today, I closed on the building/home for !
I went all in and took the biggest risk of my life.
Emptied my bank accounts.
Believed in myself and my vision.
Burned the ships.

I wanted to do something that would set me up for future success so I made a plan, stuck to it for years, and didn’t stop until it became reality.

Deals fell through.
Got told No along the way a bunch of times.
Didn’t stop until I got a yes.
One yes is all it takes!

The process was long and challenging.
It tested me in ways I hadn’t been tested before.
It tested my patience and resolve over and over.
There were so many times I didn’t know if it was going to happen or work, but we always found a way.
When problems popped up, we found solutions and viewed them as opportunities.

Getting to the closing table felt like a fight.
But After closing, the real work began.
Construction took 8 months. Many long nights spent alone. Grinding. Giving everything I had. Having to learn new skills quickly along the way. Everything else had to get out on the back burner and I really had to give it my all to build my dream.

In the moment I felt like those 12+ hour days were so hard. I didn’t know how I was going to keep going. Only that I had no other choice. So I had to find a way.
Looking back, those times were really fun and I miss them. It was a special season of my life where everything came together and I had the opportunity to build something special. And then came sharing it with everyone. That was really special too.

We made it a year. I hope for many more amazing years to come.

I have been so blessed with amazing people who believe in me and believe in our vision. So thankful for all of you.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me/us, helped with construction, shared our story/gym, whatever it may be. Without you all, this would’ve never been possible.
Sometimes I just catch myself sitting in the gym at night staring.. like wow.. we really did that. It’s real. It’s right in front of me. There were nights I dreamt of this. Now we have to keep the momentum going!!!

Cheers everyone! Anything is possible!
If I can do it,
Why not you?

There’s something really special about days like this. ❤️

At the end of the day, weightlifting is so much more than the numbers on the bar.

It’s the early mornings, the nerves before a lift, the teammates yelling from the back, the coaches believing in their athletes, the families and friends showing up to support, and the feeling of standing on that platform surrounded by people who love this sport just as much as you do.

Days like this are why we love what we do.

Our competitions give us a chance to celebrate our athletes, create memories, grow the sport, and bring the weightlifting community together. Seeing so many athletes, coaches, families, friends, and supporters all in one place is something we never take for granted.

Some incredible lifts were made. Some big goals were accomplished. Some goals are still waiting for next time. But most importantly, we shared another great day together doing something we love.

Thank you to every athlete who stepped on the platform, every coach who helped them get there, every volunteer who made the day possible, and every person who came out to support.

This community means the world to us. ❤️

We love these meets. We love this sport. And we love bringing everyone together.

Next one: October 24th.
We’ll see you on the platform. 🏋️‍♂️
