Solent Strength Club is a place for athletes to learn, progress and develop new skills, friends and memories. We are open to any level, from complete beginner to international athlete.
At the strength club, you will be able to train with a group of people who can teach you how to get into a sport and provide you with tips and support throughout your journey.
If you're interested in powerlifting, strongman, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, or just enjoy the gym, there is a place for you in Solent Strength Club.
We are also planning on running social events to get to know the members and are open to any ideas on what sort of social events you would like to do.
Give our instagram a follow to keep up to date with any activities and opportunities. If you have any questions, queries or ideas, please feel free to get in contact with us either directly on our instagram or via one of our presidents. Remember, anyone is welcome!
