Lifting

The UWE Lifting Club came together in 2023 with six individuals who all had the same goal; to create a safe and social place for those looking to get stronger and reach their aesthetic goals.

On our committee, we are proud to have lifters of all types from Powerlifters, Bodybuilders, Olympic Lifters and General gym goers with the motivation to get stronger. 

PRESIDENT: Felix 

Hey, I’m Felix!
I’ve been lifting on and off for the last 4 years. I’ve found that fitness/exercise has always been a positive environment to make friends who support one another. This is my aim for the UWE Lifting Club as I know it can be scary sometimes.
Bodybuilding is my interest however powerlifting and Olympic-style weightlifting have been a passion of mine for the 2 years.
I’m looking forward to building a community around what makes us feel good!

Hey, I’m Freya! 👋🏻
I have been weight training for the past two and a half years now and I am so passionate about this lifestyle. I am so excited to be involved with a community full of like-minded people to encourage each other, share new ideas, and reach some PBS!
I am going into my final year at UWE studying psychology with criminology, alongside my role within the club of social sec. I cannot wait to start training together and organise some fun, exciting and new social events for the society to get involved with for the upcoming year. Exciting things to come!

EVENTS AND FUNDRAISING: George 

Hi, I’m George! I started going to the gym about three years ago and quickly developed a strong passion for fitness. While training has been a rewarding journey, I’ve come to realise just how important it is to connect with like-minded people and create a welcoming community. That’s why I’m excited to take on the role of social secretary, to help organise events that bring people together, whether they’re seasoned lifters or just starting.

I want to make sure everyone feels included no matter their identity or experience level, the bottom line is everyone is welcome!
