Oly and powerlifters a place of inclusivity and growth

I joined DLF via an annual membership training towards my first competition It s really close to Liverpool city centre so suits my daily training needs It has comp level combo racks calibrated Eleiko plates MiraFit and Strength shop plates Also platforms for Olympic lifting It s not huge but I like the environment and everyone I met here has been extremely friendly and welcoming well if you re rude to other members then obviously expect the same in return I have grown physically but also mentally since I joined This is also very very beginner friendly nobody will laugh at how little you lift except the dxxkheads which you won t find in here and bonus points everyone puts their weights back I still remember vividly how super henched members were cheering me on even when I m lifting way less than them This is a place of safety inclusivity and growth

Disabled but still strong

I came to Danny after a serious elbow break double distal humerus fracture - ouch followed by a diagnosis of neuropathy I was probably at my unfittest due to not understanding how to move my objectively new body without hurting or damaging it When you all of the sudden become disabled you feel like you lose agency over your body BUT thanks to Danny and his insightful knowledge I am the strongest I have ever been Not only am I back in control of my body I have also found a community of like-minded people I was initially scared that everyone would be like Arnold Schwarzenegger but lest we forget - Arnold is not only strong but also fun

The best gym out there

I joined Danny s gym through doing a 28 day powerlifting trial safe to say it s the best decision I ve made since moving to Liverpool Not only is Danny a fantastic and extremely knowledgeable coach he s built a wonderful kind and accepting community in the gym Extremely neurodivergent and lgbtq friendly Little did I know joining this gym would have such a positive impact on my life couldn t recommend it enough

I was hooked on Barbell Blast class after one session

My friends recommended trying out DLF barbell blast class because it was a good combination of strength training weightlifting and cardio which is what I was looking for After the first taster session I was hooked Bea our coach makes me feel completely at ease through her friendly coaching style This is what I value the most because I am completely new to weightlifting so was rather nervous about joining and attending the sessions Thanks to Bea and her knowledge combined with her friendly and patient coaching style I m slowly but surely picking up the right techniques to progress how I want to I reached out to Danny via Instagram to learn all that I needed to about the barbell blast class He was incredibly welcoming and also very accommodating with my sessions after a recent head injury I experienced I couldn t recommend this gym highly enough if you want a comfortable space to train in surrounded by experts and friendly faces to keep you motivated

DLF is the best

DLF is the best I was new to strength training when I joined via the 28 day trial and found that I loved it from day one With expert coaching I ve progressed and - to my own amazement - even been entering powerlifting competitions Danny is an excellent coach with a tailored approach to the individual s needs and is generally one of the good guys The whole team at DLF is excellent friendly and welcoming Danny s created an inclusive and safe space where people can be themselves without worry of judgement Without fail I always leave the gym feeling better than when I arrived I was soooo nervous on my first day but was soon put at ease by Danny the team and the other members I didn t know what to expect and was very conscious of my beginner status but that didn t matter to anyone else You re treated with the same respect regardless of the weights you re lifting What came as a big surprise to me when I joined was the brilliant community that came with the gym and how valuable that s become to me My fellow members are a great bunch were immediately welcoming and supportive beyond just gym stuff I got my ADHD diagnosis not long after joining and the advice and support from other neurodivergent members continues to help me a lot The powerlifting and the gang here also have a real positive impact on my mental health Honestly can t imagine my life without this place now
