Powerlifting weekly programming and guidance is perfect for those that live far away as it doesn’t require any face-to-face contact. Our online powerlifting coaching is most suitable for individuals with some barbell lifting experience. However, we can always provide feedback and support for a beginner that is just starting powerlifting.
Our online powerlifting coaching service is suitable for those looking for virtual coaching for powerlifting or strength training. Our online powerlifting is ideal for beginners and lifters who are currently competing, looking to compete in their first meet, or have no intentions to compete but would like to do powerlifting type training. Online powerlifting coaching consists of training and nutrition programming tailored to the individual’s goals and training experience and also includes weekly check-ins to review your progress and make any changes to the training program and nutrition plan. Exercise technique reviews and feedback are also given during the weekly check-ins. At SPC Performance Lab, our existing client base consists of novice lifters to competition powerlifters.
The benefits of having an online training and nutrition program tailored to you is that it can help fast track your progress and take away the guesswork from self-programming or being confused from conflicting information found online. Our online coaching and programming can be adjusted based on your previous training history, available equipment at your gym or home, your schedule, and any pre-existing injuries. An online training program allows you to focus your time and effort on training, while a coach provides all the necessary guidance and direction to ensure that you see progress in your performance. In addition, having an online coach can help keep you motivated in your lifting journey via weekly check-ins by providing support and making the necessary adjustments to help progress towards your lifting goals.
We offer online powerlifting and strength coaching for individuals at all levels from beginners to athletes. Our tailored lifting program and macro-tracking are also suitable for all types of sport-based strength training.

Online coaching involves reviewing and making corrections to your lifting technique, training program and nutrition as needed, and will discuss your progress with you weekly. At the end of each week, the coach will send a detailed video addressing any questions and provide an in-depth critique of your exercise technique. In addition, the coach will always be available during the week via email or text if you have any questions regarding your program or nutrition.

A powerlifting coach is suitable for beginners looking to learn the basics of powerlifting training and how to perform the squat, bench press and dead-lift properly. Coaching is also ideal for experienced individuals looking to improve their performance and to increase their powerlifting total. Coaching is not only for powerlifting athletes, but also for those just wanting to get stronger and improve their physique without competing. Coaching can help ‘fast track’ your progress by having an experienced coach guide your training, nutrition, and lifting technique and make any necessary adjustments to see progress based on your response to the program. A powerlifting coach is not essential, and individuals can progress without coaching. However, coaching can make the process a little quicker and less stressful.
There are multiple questions that you should ask when looking for a powerlifting coach. These are some questions that you may ask before hiring a powerlifting coach:
Signing up for our online coaching is simple. You can begin by booking a free consultation call with our head coach, who will discuss your goals, current nutrition, previous exercise experience, and other questions required in getting to know you better.

If our head coach is a good fit for you and you will like to get started, a debit request will be e-mailed to you, and your program will be created within a few days.

If you cannot do face-to-face sessions, contact us to discuss how we can adapt your program to suit your level and ability.
