We are the leader in revolutionising the teaching of Olympic Weightlifting to bring it into the 21st century - making it easier and more accessible than ever to have perfect lifting technique.

The Lifting Zone was founded by GB Olympian, Sonny Webster, as a space to educate new and upcoming lifters on the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. 


Sonny first started Olympic Weightlifting at the age of 11 when the process of learning the sport was very different to today. After travelling the world and delivering over 200 seminars worldwide, Sonny noticed that the teaching of Olympic Weightlifting wasn’t catering for the biggest pain points that people have. Pain points such as: mobility issues, problems with coordination, lack of time, and no access to a good coach.


It was about time that something changed… And so The Lifting Zone was born! 


TLZ redefines the process used to coach lifters, helps to fast-track your lifting, delivers world-class coaching, offers next level support, and makes it incredibly easy for you to track your progress.


The programming in The Lifting Zone has been built by elite level coaches who have created failsafe solutions to guide you through every step of your lifting journey.

At TLZ, we want to ensure that the process of becoming an improved lifter is simple, that your needs are understood, and that the solutions are easy. We don’t want your training and education to be complicated, and so we’ve designed a platform and programs that are easily understood with simple actionable steps to provide you with insane results - meaning you can finally reach your optimal level of performance! 


Over the years, we have seen some huge wins… from 35kg PBs in just 40 days… to insane technique improvements… and even competition wins! 


But watch this space… we’re only just getting started.
