About us

LiftLab is a Group-PT functional-fitness gym for people who want to train hard, train smart, and see real progress without the chaos of a commercial gym.

Our training runs in 12-week structured blocks, combining progressive strength work, intelligent conditioning, and coached group sessions. Each block finishes with a testing phase, so you can clearly track improvements in strength, fitness, and performance — not just sweat through random workouts.

While our coaches have experience working with high-level athletes, LiftLab was built for busy adults who care about quality. People who want expert coaching, efficient sessions, and a clear plan. Not crowded gym floors or guesswork.

Every session is fully coached, every program is designed with intent, and every member trains in a focused, supportive environment. Whether your goal is to get stronger, fitter, leaner, or simply train consistently without burning out, LiftLab gives you the structure and accountability to keep improving year after year.

High-level coaching. Smart training. Real results — without the commercial gym feel.

4 pillars of performance

At LiftLab, we don’t do random workouts. Our training is structured, purposeful, and built around long-term progress. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced gym-goer, every session fits into a proven, science-backed system: the Four P’s.

Each 12-week block is built around four clear phases—Prepare, Progress, Perform, and Peak—designed to move you forward with intent. This is training with purpose.

  • Every block starts here. In the Prepare phase, we reset, assess, and lay the foundation. You’ll focus on movement quality, mobility, and reconditioning while establishing baseline metrics. It’s a chance to rebuild after high-intensity phases, address weaknesses, and set clear intentions for what’s ahead. Prepare is about readiness—mentally and physically.

  • With the groundwork in place, it’s time to move forward. Progress is where the bulk of your training lives. Here, we build strength, develop skills, and accumulate volume. You'll see consistent weekly progress across key lifts, conditioning benchmarks, and movement quality. This phase is all about momentum—putting in the work that builds real results.

  • Now we test the engine. Perform ramps up the intensity, sharpens your output, and challenges your limits. Conditioning gets faster. Lifting gets heavier. You’ll hit key benchmarks, re-test lifts, and begin to see your training translate into tangible gains. Perform is where training becomes performance—and where all that hard work starts to show.

  • The final phase is your moment to shine. Peak is designed to bring out your best. Volume tapers, intensity rises, and your body is primed for maximal effort—whether that's testing strength, competing in a challenge, or just hitting a personal best. It’s the reward for your consistency, and a celebration of what your body and mind can achieve.
