Why JUSTLIFT Is Exactly What You Need

#1 Expert Coaching

We offer you the cream of the crop in terms of coaches, who not only have years of coaching experience, but have been on the same journey as you: they’ve fallen hard for the sport and have dealt with the struggles of wanting to succeed while keeping alive their motivation when they’ve failed. They’ve learned how to train their minds as much as their bodies, knowing when to rest and when to push through. Our coaches have been through it themselves and are uniquely positioned to understand you and your drivers. They will be the pillars of strength you need, guiding you through the mental and physical journey of achieving your goals.

Evidence of every coaches' favorite saying...⁠
⁠
We don't usually push motivational platitudes, but this one we believe in 100%. The road to exceptional achievement is one fraught with doubt and many detours. If you can keep your head down, however, ignore the doubt, and push through anyway? You'll make amazing progress like @anneso.pelletier has.⁠
⁠
We've worked with Anne So since 2017, and she's completely transformed as a lifter. She now Snatches what used to be a meaningful Squat. Whereas the idea of a club meet used to be a lot, now she's qualifying for regional competitions. This kind of progress is actually typical... But only if you have the right attitude. The WILL to become. ⁠
⁠
Anne So has had to fight for every kilo she's put on the bar. Whether it be re-thinking technique, the frustration of an uncooperative body, or the simple grind that getting stronger can be... Anne So's had to overcome it. ⁠
⁠
The content of Anne So's story might be unique to her, but the structure? Everyone HAS to have these experiences to become the lifter they imagine they can be. After all, getting strong isn't just the result of adding weight to a barbell.⁠
⁠
Trusting the process, with all of the ups and downs it brings, is fundamentally about having the conviction that you CAN meet the challenges that the experience of getting stronger bestows. The only way to find out? Just get going, and whatever you do, don't give up! Anne So certainly didn't!⁠

TESTIMONIALS

I've been working with JustLift online for just over a year and it has been a great experience. As a garage athlete the communication is what keeps me motivated. I always know the focus and goal for the training cycle. The cues I receive from my videos are clear and my questions are always answered. Working with JustLift has greatly improved my weightlifting technique, has made me stronger and has made me a more confident athlete. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

I’ve trained with Just Lift for several years and have seen nothing but improvement to my form, numbers, and technique. Programming targets the whole person and individualized feedback ensures accountability and progress.

The JustLift team truly push themselves to give the best support any athlete would need, even to a novice like me. I started with the Barbell Foundation program (now called the JustLift program), and it truly changed the game for me. The coaches understand your desire of getting strong, of pushing your own limits, whilst understanding the major learning curve you encounter. They install a structure, and along with the JustLift community, they give you the confidence and the knowledge any novice requires to get into the sport and to truly feel like they belong. By joining JustLift, you meet other like-minded individuals who respect anyone who tries. Simply put, JustLift changes the paradigms of what it is to be a gym member.

When I started with Greg and the JustLift Team I was a national level competitor, and within just one year of working together we had raised my level of performance to reach a lifetime goal of competing for Team Canada. Greg made this possible through his commitment to providing the support needed as an athlete; his consistent dedication to continuing research & education; and most of all - fostering a culture of hard work above all else.

I cannot recommend Nancy’s coaching enough! She provided me with a training program and exercises personally tailored to me and what I needed. She is so knowledgeable and is able to use that knowledge to help figure out what I needed to achieve and exceed all of my goals. Nancy is so attentive in providing ongoing constructive guidance, feedback and answering questions. One of the things I value most about having Nancy as my coach is how responsive she is and that she can adapt my program (exercises and cues) as needed based on how I am responding, what she notices in my lifting and my feedback. That is invaluable! Nancy knows exactly what I need to be motivated, feel confident and improve. I have seen more gains and improvement in my lifting with Nancy than I have ever before! Whether you want to improve your technique, get stronger or learn about weightlifting and feel both supported and pushed by your coach, Nancy is the best choice!”
