A fantastic Olympic weightlifting experience you won't find anywhere else in Tampa and beyond.The coach is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented when it comes to his training programs which allows for healthy and consistent progress for novices through pros. He also has a healthy understanding of biomechanics and a great coaching style that is in no way overbearing or difficult to follow.I was able to progress from being completely detrained from casual lifting in my past, to learning the core mechanics of the sport, to hitting some of my lifetime fitness and strength goals all within just a few months.This gym and coach is worth every penny and more.

Best weightlifting environment in Tampa Bay. Having a knowledgeable coach and peers is paramount. There’s plenty of people who market themselves as being this. But, this is the only place in Tampa that can be trusted for all levels. If you’re a serious weightlifter, this is the only gym to consider. Any other place will eventually lead you here if you want a loving and nurturing environment that’s fun yet going to make you better. Beginners to National level lifters and a coach who has a degree and knowledge beyond writing a “program”.

This gym saved my life. I have been an athlete here for just about two years and I’m so grateful for it every single day. Not only does it have the best equipment and facility dedicated to weightlifting and strength training, but Zack Lebo has created such a welcoming environment and culture, along with being an amazing, intelligent, and patient coach. We are like a family here, and you will not be sorry you joined. Trust me.

As a beginner, I was a little nervous coming to Cat 5. Zack is an amazing human and coach. He has the ability to explain concepts in a way that I can understand. The atmosphere is very welcoming. If you are looking for a Olympic Weightlifting gym, look no further.

Coaches are outstanding and it's one of the best gyms I've been a part of. Great atmosphere and great athletes. This is the perfect gym for anyone wanting to learn about weightlifting, continue their weightlifting and take it to the next level, or learn about general strength and conditioning.
