Burleigh Barbell Club Head Coach & Owner Callum Hannay reveals how eight-year-olds to Olympians build strength, power and speed!
[VERVE] Tell us about the Burleigh Barbell Club and your vision behind creating it?
[Callum Hannay]The Burleigh Barbell Club started over three years ago. In that short time, we’ve created a fantastic community of like-minded competitive and casual weightlifters that are all here for the single purpose of achieving things they’ve never thought possible.
Who does your gym cater to?
We cater for all demographics of all ages. We have lifters as young as 8 yrs. old, Youth Olympians, State and National Champions, Australian representatives and World Champion Masters lifters. Weightlifting is for all!
Whether it be strength development for your sport of choice in NRL, AFL, CrossFit, or you are competing professionally; we’re here to help!
What makes the Burleigh Barbell Club different from other gyms?
The difference is in individual attention. No two members are the same, and each person has their own goals and aspirations, so each person follows an individualised program to cater to their goals. We train as a team but pursue our individual dreams.
Tell us about your experience working with VERVE and selecting your equipment with us?
VERVE’s customer service is second- to-none and always a pleasure to deal with. When it comes to Olympic weight- lifting, high performance is paramount, and VERVE’s high-quality equipment is constantly tested by our weightlifters and stands up to the daily rigours of training.
I’ve also been lucky enough to see VERVE grow from the ground up, and to see the amount of care they take with their clients from day one is inspiring. For us, business is all about relationships. We’re excited about the relationship we have with VERVE Fitness equipment the sponsorship they provide for our athletes and look forward to helping them and the Burleigh Barbell Club grow into the future.
What’s next for the Burleigh Barbell Club?
We’re excited to keep promoting the sport of weightlifting and continue to grow our wonderful community and our relationship with VERVE Fitness. Even better is, we’re only just beginning!
