Powerlifting at Northumbria is a fun and rewarding sport with a close community of passionate people. We welcome all abilities to join in our training sessions, whether you’re an experienced lifter or you have never lifted before.
Whilst we learn and improve at our weekly sessions, the club also have a vibrant social life where we plan activities, events and spontaneous trips.
For those of you that have never heard of Powerlifting before, it is a form of competitive weightlifting in which contestants attempt three types of lifts in a set sequence.
Please note the 2024/25 season has now concluded. Information on membership prices and training times for 2025/26 season will appear here in due course.
Students enquiring about joining the club in 2025/26 season can contact the Club Committee via email or instagram. Equipment can be provided by the club for new students where required. 2025/26 memberships will only be available to purchase following Big Week of Sport in September.
