By far the best powerlifting gym (and coach) in the whole of Liverpool! Danny runs an excellent gym with lots of cool equipment but most importantly creates a supportive environment regardless of your experience level. He's always happy to help and will make you feel welcome! If you're looking to start powerlifting or would like a nice homey environment, I highly recommend. 10/10 Slayed. Ate. Devoured💅"

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!"

I signed up for the 28-day trial at DLF and really enjoyed it. I felt welcomed and included the moment I stepped through the door. There's a nice atmosphere in the gym and everyone is friendly. Exactly what you need when starting something new. Highly recommended!"

Great people, great place and proper homely. Learn from proper coaches if you're completely new, or even have been doing some general lifting and want to get some structure or just book in to use the space for your own plans. You can learn a lot here. Super friendly place without the fear of your typical lifeless public gym.
I don't do competition lifting but I get treated the same regardless and its a great way to find an actual gym community.
Hats off to Beata, Danny and all the coaches here!"

Competent, attentive, thoughtful and communicates well with all ages and abilities. The venue itself caters to powerlifting and weightlifting to an international level as well as being a great place to be introduced to strength sports. Been a customer for over a decade. Strongly recommended."

I spent around 2 years with Danny, not only is he an all around great person he is a fantastic coach. He took me from throwing weight around like a useless oaf to winning multiple trophies on the national and international stage in my federation. I truly appreciate all he taught me in terms of form, injury prevention, training in an efficient and intelligent manner, and even the warm ups - although I hated them."

The best powerlifting and weightlifting gym in the town!
I’ve been a member for over a year now and I really enjoy training there.
It is a very friendly and supportive gym run by Danny who’s always there to help and well qualified coaches who provide a well-structured program for your training.
Would definitely recommend if you are a competitive athlete and serious about your training."

Oly and powerlifters: a place of inclusivity and growthI 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."

I enquired about Olympic weightlifting, knowing nothing at all about the sport. I was treated the same as everyone else from the very first session. The coaches break every movement down for you and why it has to be done a certain way, even if you dont get it the first time they will repeat it until it clicks for you. You have full support from the coaching staff and people you train with. The energy in the gym is the best no bad aura. Everyone is there to become a better version of themselves. I would recommend DLF to everyone no matter what level you are at."
