Wondering What A Gymshark Lift Event Is?

Gymshark Lift events are THE place where the Gymshark Community comes together to celebrate not just the culture of lifting, but the future of the sport. From a selection of workshops that have been designed to help you up your numbers, to meeting your favorite athletes, taking part in competitions, seminars and having the opportunity to win a number of prizes... each Lift event is different, but it's always the hub where the Gymshark Family meet.

Take a look at what went down at our most recent event: LiftLA...

Event Map

If in doubt, just wander...

Designed to bring athletes of all disciplines together while allowing them enough space to (you know) do their thing, #LiftManchester introduces 4 exclusive zones to its warehouse space.

Each zone has its own character, its own cohort of athletes, and its own special attractions. From PB Cages and Posing Rooms for our lifters in Zone B, to powerlifting platforms, and functional fitness apparatus in Zones C-D, this is unlike anything we've ever done before.

While everyone will no doubt have their favorite spot at #LiftManchester, we highly recommend taking a wander around the different zones. Who know, lifters might just start to take an interest in functional fitness...
