OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY.

THE BIG FOUR Squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press form the backbone of our training. These compound barbell lifts are the most reliable indicators of long-term strength progress. Each lift has its own training day, with multiple exposures & variations built into our training week.

BODYBUILDING WHERE IT MATTERS The barbell work is supported by targeted accessory & bodybuilding work. These help reinforce weak points and support longevity. We don’t use these as fillers for exhaustion – they’re deliberately selected to improve areas & develop a balanced body.

FITNESS BUILT THROUGH STRENGTH We believe fitness is best built on a foundation of strength. Rather than chasing exhaustion, we develop work capacity (fitness) through a combination of volume, repeated efforts & endurance-type rep ranges.

COACHED GROUP TRAINING Strength training is too-often associated with individual training but we believe that progress is made most when the process is shared between a group of people. Whilst sessions are shared, coaching is individual.

LONG-TERM PROGRESSION Quick fixes don’t exist in strength training. We follow a long-term approach that respects the natural human process of skill acquisition, habit formation, and strength adaptation. Working in 12-week training blocks allows you to develop technique, consistency and a deeper understand of your own body.

TRACKING WHAT MATTERS Training at iLIFT isn’t driven by screens, exercise videos, or heart-rate targets. Instead, members track every set, load, exercise, and session in our training app, creating a clear record of progress from day one.
