Darkside Training

Darkside Training is a women-only strength and powerlifting community based in Lincoln. Founded as an antithesis to the standard gym model, there are no mirrors, no dance music, and no emphasis on appearance — just a supportive, inclusive environment where women of all levels can learn to lift and appreciate their bodies.

The gym hosts a growing community of powerlifters competing in British Powerlifting events, with coaches guiding members through squat, bench press, and deadlift training. Everyone is welcome, whether you lift 10 kg or 100 kg.
