When you are on the powerlifting team, what you can expect to receive, goes way beyond our strength coaching services. You’ll be a part of an advanced training system, with a nurturing environment that gives us a competitive edge. It’s our sole purpose to make you the best athlete possible and we believe this is only achieved through a supportive team of coaches, consultants and athletes, rather than the input of just one individual. Everything is still personalised, and highly specific for you, but now you are a part of a system that breeds animals.

ABOUT OUR HEAD COACH

Hi, I’m Gus Cooke and I’m the Head Coach of Lifters League. My story starts back in 2009 in the Australian Army in the Royal Australian Regiment. We were getting ready for deployment to Afghanistan but during my training, I sustained a severe injury that accumulated over months of intense training and had developed stress fractures in both my legs preventing me from getting deployed and landed myself in rehab for 8 months. So, being placed a desk duty, I got fat. Then like most people, I looked towards the gym to change my body. Lucky for me, my first mentor was a powerlifter and I learned the 3 fundamental lifts : Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift and based our training around those lifts. This started the neverending pursuit of being better, bigger, leaner and stronger.

I studied everything about strength, physiology, nutrition, and still do everyday. I started a career as a personal trainer but failed to run the business side of things in 2011 and pursued my other passion for science at Queensland University of Technology. As my career exploded as a powerlifting athlete, I ended up back working in the fitness industry in 2014 but with an idea of a complete coaching management system to bring multiple disciplines together, I saw coaches and personal trainers were only providing a single-sided service and not looking at the overall picture. This is where the idea of my current business model started.

I ended up at PTC Brisbane as a powerlifting coach and sports nutritionist where I grew to 120 clients from all over the world. I was pretty happy where I was but wasn’t satisfied and believe that to truly be the best and create the best athletes, I needed a whole club with multiple disciplinary coaches, sciences, and practitioners taking a holistic and scientific approach to producing results for everyone.
