Uplift Gym was formed in 2018 in a small garage in Lidcombe. Since then we have helped 100s of people discover lifting weights & becoming more confident in the gym. We have seen the physique changes & lifestyle changes from Weightlifting & want to share our love for the barbell with everyone. We know how hard it is to find friends with people with common interests & place a special emphasis on community & friendship at Uplift Gym. We want all our clients to motivate each other to be the best version of themselves.
