I never thought I’d get into powerlifting, but here I am — getting stronger and learning something totally new while having fun. Aida is an amazing coach. She’s super patient, explains everything clearly, and creates a no-pressure, no-judgment vibe that makes you feel comfortable from day one. Her coaching really motivates you to put in the effort and keep improving. If you’re curious at all, definitely take a tour and check it out for yourself. Thanks Aida!

I became a member of Uplift Barbell back in the fall of 2023. When I first walked in the gym, I simply wanted to maintain to maintain the fitness level that I have started and focus more in powerlifting. Little did I know that I would end up participating in two powerlifting event, one at Bearrison and the other and more recently was at the EVO Expo Powerlifting event in Santa Clara. I won first place in both events all because of Coach Aida’s strong coaching skills and guidance. If you are looking at or interested in powerlifting and have a specific coaching plan, I would highly recommend checking out Uplift Barbell in the SOMA area of San Francisco.
