The lift order

Bar's loaded.
You've got three attempts.

Three lifts, three columns, one coaching cue each. This is the order the floor runs on — every session, every flight, every night of the week.

Lift 01

Squat

Sit into it. Stay in your hips. Drive the floor away.

Flights

Everyone comes
in on a flight.

A flight is a start time and a standard, not a price tier. Find the one you're in — then book the intro and let a coach place you.

Flight 01

First-timers

A coach walks you through the bar, the rack and the platform, then loads it. You'll squat, bench and pull something on day one, and you'll leave with the first thing to fix.

Flight 02

Small-group barbell

Capped groups, one coach, the three lifts under a bar you can load. Same flight, same standard, every week.

Monthly membership
Flight 03

One-to-one

Personal training built around your numbers, your weak points and your schedule. Coached on your own bar, at your own pace.

Personal training
Flight 04

Meet prep

For lifters with a date on the calendar. Programming, openers, second and third attempts, warm-up timing — and someone in your corner on the day.

Meet prep

Three attempts.
No guessing.

Meet day is decided long before you step on the platform. Prep runs from the program block through to the warm-up room, with the attempts written down before the bar is ever loaded.

  1. 01

    Program

    The three lifts get programmed against your meet date. Openers get set early, so nothing that happens on the day is a surprise.

  2. 02

    Attempt selection

    Openers, second and third attempts picked with your coach and written on the card before you travel.

  3. 03

    Meet week

    Warm-up timing, flight times, commands and rack heights rehearsed so the day runs on rails.

  4. 04

    Meet day

    A coach in the warm-up room and at the platform side. You lift; we handle the numbers.

Attempt card Powerlifting meet prep

Attempt 1 — Opener

A weight you'd hit on your worst day. On the board, in the book, no second thoughts.

Attempt 2 — Second

Built off the opener. Chosen from how the warm-up room felt, not from what the plan said.

Declaredkg

Attempt 3 — Third

The number you came for. Earned in the prep block, not hoped for on the day.

Access

The floor never
closes.

Members come and go on their own clock. Barbells, racks and platforms stay loaded and ready — whether that's a 5am session or a late night on the platform.

  • 24/7 member access

    Members train on their own schedule. The floor, the racks and the platform, any hour.

  • Monthly membership

    Access starts with an intro session. Memberships run by the month, alongside coached flights.

  • Drop-in day passes

    Passing through Pittsburgh? Take a day pass and train on the platform.

Book an intro session and a coach puts you under the bar — squat, bench and deadlift, on a platform, with something to fix before you leave. From there you pick your access: small-group flights, one-to-one training, meet prep, or the keys to the floor.
