Elite Champions – Past and Present

Sunbury Weight Training Club has established a reputation in the world of drug free powerlifting for producing elite
lifters.  Over the past eight years, lifters from the club have attained twelve national titles, six European titles, two World titles and broken six world records across three different lifting federations. The ages of our competitive lifters range from Juniors through to Masters.  We currently have two current BDFPA British Champions due to compete for a world title in Malta in June and one IDFPA European Champion due to compete in the USA in October. The increased success of SWTC can be attributed to the advice and coaching provided by some of the long standing members. One of our members managed and competed with the Irish National Powerlifting team for three years in the Four Nations cup.
