Good work @felly500 + team. @mettle_strength is onboard.
At mettle we are incredibly grateful and thankful for our amazing partnership with Kitlocker who host us at their venue in Attercliffe. We think it's probably a unique collaboration where an operative business supports a community club in such a way.

For our youth members particularly to experience a workplace and for them to feel at home, accepted and see it as their place too is valuable with their relationship and understanding of work.
Weight training for children!?! Is that safe?
This is sometimes something we get asked or often parents of new members do share that they didn't really understand what it was and that they now 'get it' and understand the benefit and approach.
There's a huge amount of evidence and supporting research by really smart people that presents the benefits of resistance training for youth audiences. This paper is a solid starting point, Google search any of the authors for more papers and quality information if interested.
The journey starts... Two coaches, two lifters head to one competition. The European WLing master's in Norway. Good luck to Roman and Megan.
Fancy learning Olympic Weightlifting? We have youth & adult learn to lift courses starting soon...

Well done to all our lifters at the recent Liverpool weightlifting club open and thanks to all our coaches. 6 lifters, 5 medals, many PBs.
A brilliant afternoon yesterday supporting youngsters on the @DESA_Sheffield holiday activity programme. Students from @sheffhallamuni delivered our 'Faster, Higher, Stronger' profiling session. Fun was had and medals were awarded.
We have had an action packed #easter holiday @LeisureUnited where we welcomed over 100 #children to take part in #football and team building activities. We also had the pleasure of welcoming @mettle_strength & @dwhembro a opportunity to allow children to develop good confidence
Closed club comp this morning to give our members a run out. Here are some of the lifts from the boys today...
We're recently started delivering the @GBWeightLifting Raise The Bar programme at Wales High School.
We were inundated with applications from parents of girls and boys for places so we're delivering four sessions a week to give young people weightlifting experience.
We're completing this programme of delivery with a celebration event at our HQ to share our club set up with participants. They'll receive certificates & two pupils from each group will be awarded a 6 month mettle scholarship.
Thanks to @WesterdaleBob
and the @SheffieldStarfor the write up following our 5 gold medals at the @GBWeightLifting national age group champs.
