The Lifting Zone Avis 

In 12 weeks TLZ has turned my lifting around. I had spent years building the belief that I just couldn't snatch and I had topped out everything else. But with the help of their amazing coaching I have PB'd nearly all my lifts and broken down mental barriers. I can not recommend them enough if you are struggling with your olympic lifting or just want to take it to the next level.

The team at TLZ are second to none. My first 12 week block has just come to an end and I am so happy with the progress and coaching support I have received. Being able to coach Olympic lifting remotely is a skill in itself and the team at TLZ have absolutely nailed the experience, you feel like you’re part of the team and have a tailored experience to suit your goals and abilities. It is the total opposite of a cookie cutter training program. It really impressed me how much effort went into tailoring a program to suit my ability and improving areas I need to work on.

Already looking forward to starting my next block.

Exceptional level coaching
Very personalized one on one approach
Coaches just really know there stuff and are good at communicating

I started this program with the intention to give myself the best start to lifting possible. Sonny and the crew met every expectation of that!

I found I was continually learning new things through the daily feedback as well as the weekly tech calls. I also hit every goal that I set with the team.

Sonny and the TLZ team are at the top of their game.

After having done several training blocks with the team, these guys know lifting and will get you to hit the PB’s you want.

What sets these guys apart is the community they have built with like minded people looking to get better and sharing their stories, as well as coaches who actually care.

In summary, if you’re wanting to get stronger & have your lifting on point then get involved, I haven’t looked back after 9 months and several PB’s later!

Sonny is an awesome coach and he made sure to give enough time with each participant to correct form and give feedback. Highly recommend for beginners and even athletes who are looking to improve their PB!

I attended the seminar as a complete newbie to Olympic lifting.

It was so valuable to learn technique from Sonny - both patient and detailed without being too overwhelming. Its left me confident and excited to continue to learn and practice Olympic lifting. I’m now a couple weeks into the ultimate guide and loving it

Sonny is amazing, love his style of engagement throughout the seminar. He was attentive of each participant and gave me personally some really good feedback and tips for improvement.

I just finished my first 12 week cycle and was super impressed with the experience. Enough so that I’ll be continuing on this journey with the team.

I was especially fond of the feedback after every session. Sonny provided exceptional, actionable, insights. A part of me expected it to die off after a couple of weeks, but it never did and that really surprised me.

Something I also really enjoyed were the tech calls. At first I didn’t know what to make of them, but now they’ve become my weekly ritual. I set aside an hour to immerse myself and learn from everyone else. It’s value that I didn’t know I needed, or wanted.

Laslty, building a remote relationship with a coach is tough. Especially with someone with a presence like Sonny, but I have been surprised at how he approaches the entire program and how he builds relationships with each of us as if we’re together in the same space.

I couldn’t recommend this program enough to weightlifters that want to take their training, and knowledge, to the next level.

Sonny helped coach me without knowing through his videos on his social media. I needed to pass a course what involved snatch and clean & jerk. His videos are free and informative. I have never met Sonny and probably never will however I am thankful for his indirect help over the last 12 months.

Not even a full cycle and I’m already hitting PBs! Programming is not complicated and is getting the job done! I’ll continue to use this programming for strength.

I had the best experience with my training cycle from the lifting zone! I learned so much and my foundation is so much stronger. My technique improved a lot, and also my knowledge about Olympic Weightlifting. With the online video reviews and the monthly get togethers I learned so much and I’m so thankful for everything! I got my bit snatch PR at 70 kg and I PR’d my clean en jerk with 10 kg as well which is just insane in six weeks time. My second cycle of 6 weeks was not easy with my injury and a lot of stress at home. But Sonny made sure I still got everything out of it and still improved on all my lifts. Special thank you to Sonny and Gaz for all their help and support 🫶.

No stone left unturned, everything about the cycle was fantastic, from having an in-depth review of every session and gaining a mass amount of knowledge and PB’s to the little things like checking in on you on a personal and coaching level. Accommodating everything from last minute plans messing up your training schedule to small injury setbacks. Can’t speak highly enough of sonny and the team

Wonderful experience to work with such experienced, professional and especially funny guys! Each and every one is very kind and provides help or tips the second you have a problem.

Sonny’s lifting tips/advice/cues have helped tidy up my lifts a lot. Every session with him I’m able to learn something new to focus on with my lifts for when I’m back in the gym by myself.

The Lifting Zone has been an absolute game changer for my OLY lifts! I just wrapped up my first 12 weeks with TLZ and I’ve never felt more confident in my lifts. So many bad habits were broken and so many cues were learned! The coaches are awesome - they’re extremely helpful and attentive to athletes needs! The analysis calls every week let you talk to world class Olympic lifters!!! Like what! Such an awesome experience - I signed up for 12 more weeks!! I would highly recommend this program. It is worth every penny and I will use everything I’ve learned for years to come.

This training program and team of coaches is outstanding. Huge win. My technique and self evaluation have never been better. I’m also approaching old numbers in raw weight lifted and surpassing old numbers when compared to bodyweight ratio. Also, this program has improved my athletic performance in a way I hadn’t thought about. I was never able to dunk in high school but had a decent vertical (31-34”) today I touched an 11 foot ceiling demonstrating for my students… I stepped into it with a 2 foot takeoff, I can reach to 8’ while standing, and was wearing my uniform bottoms and combat boots. I think your programming not only brought me back to the explosiveness of an 18-20 years younger Clint, but IMPROVED it by several inches on my vertical leap!!! 🤘🏻

Great feedback on lifts and e-learning.
Improving a lot and excited to continue the journey.

Finding the right coach is the thing that you can't neglect even if you're not a competitive athlete. When you train for fun or for health, it's still very important to have the right person/team by your side. Even if it's online/remote. I've tried many other training programs, and The Lifting Zone was the only one I wanted to sign up with for a deeper relationship. The whole coaching crew is awesome. Every trainer has great experience in training, competing, and coaching. Their feedback on my lifting is always helpful. In the first cycle of 12 weeks, I achieved everything I wanted and, most importantly, everything they promised on the day of the initial meet-up. If you ask me to describe what is best about TLZ in one word, I would say, the vibe.

Fast response, easy to book one to one calls.

Very easy to use the training program / schedule tool. The set up is super convenient and helpful with planning and review of my training program.
