Training
What kind of people train at Iron Revolution?
We have a huge variety of people from all backgrounds that train at Iron Revolution. Our members have a variety of goals, including competition preparation, general strength training, body recomposition and injury rehabilitation.
I’m new to strength training, can I get coaching?
Coaching is a great way for you to gain access to the experience and knowledge that our Iron Revolution coaches hold. We make coaching affordable with group training options as well as one-on-one personal training. Check out all the options at our membership page.
How quickly will I see results?
Often, we can quickly fix technical issues for those that have been self-trained or have not had professional strength coaching and results will be immediate. Our environment allows even seasoned lifters to constantly improve their results by training and surrounding themselves with people who hold similar goals.
I have an injury, can I still train?
Always seek professional help when you have an injury – we can recommend physicians that are experienced in treating a range of different problems. When you have a clear understanding of your needs, we will help you train within your limits whilst you work on your rehabilitation. Injuries can happen but they are usually extremely manageable and we never let them stop us.
Do I need to be fit / strong before I join?
Absolutely not. We have members that started out at Iron Revolution with little to no experience in strength training that are now smashing state and national competitions. A reasonable level of fitness is an advantage but we cater for a wide range of backgrounds and a positive and committed attitude is all you really need.
Do I have to compete?
No way. We have plenty of members who have no desire to compete and love strength training for what it is. They train at Iron revolution to get strong, stay for the atmosphere and excel at what they do. Other members that are focused on competitions are provided with tailored programs and all the support they need to get an excellent outcome from comp day. The choice is yours.
Can I injure myself doing powerlifting / strongman / strongwoman?
You can injure yourself in any sport and strength training is definitely not immune. We will do our best to ensure that you are training in a safe environment and using the correct technique for injury prevention. If you have concerns, our group training is an ideal introduction to strength training as we can keep a close eye on how you are going and will be there to assist at all times. At Iron Revolution, we will teach you how to lift correctly and strengthen your body to help prevent injury.
Do I have to eat a specific diet when training?
Eating a healthy, balanced diet will improve performance in any sport but specific diet plans are not essential for strength training. Some of our members choose to seek nutritional advice from qualified dieticians in order to maintain or drop a weight class or for general weight loss but this is entirely up to the individual lifter.
Do I need to buy special gear?
Special training gear is not a requirement for strength training but some members will choose to use certain gear as they progress into competition-level lifting. This can include things such as belts, wrist wraps, knee sleeves or soft suits. Some of these items are available to try out at the gym and we can help you select and purchase the correct gear if you decide to use it.
