Lifting

About Us

The RHUL Lifting society is centered around building community around a shared love of lifting. We are open to both new and experienced bodybuilders, powerlifters and calisthenics athletes.

Lifting weights can sometimes be a solitary pursuit, our society provides lifters the outlet to bond and build new potential spotters. If you're interested feel free to stop by to one of our sessions, follow our instagram @rhul.lifting.society or approach one of our members in the gym.

Whether you're new to lifting weights or an experienced lifter we pride ourselves in providing members with the tools that he or she needs to build a physique that they can be proud of.

If you're a novice, you can read our lifting guide here.
