KILO & CO was created to build a place where people can train seriously, be coached well and enjoy being part of something.

We believe in quality movement, consistency and doing the simple things well. Whether the goal is stepping onto a competition platform, hitting a new PB or simply becoming stronger, everyone deserves good coaching and a training environment where they feel they belong.

Because strength is better in good company.

Keep it simple. Do it well.

Weightlifting is already a complex sport. We don't believe in making it more complicated than it needs to be.

At KILO & CO, we build strong lifters through the fundamentals - quality movement, good positions, consistency and time under the bar.

We believe in learning the lifts, understanding your movement and developing the confidence to trust yourself when the weight gets heavy.

We train with purpose. We work hard. We celebrate progress - whether that's your first lift, a new PB or stepping onto the competition platform.

No unnecessary noise. Just good lifting, good coaching and good people.

MEL COWIE - HEAD COACH

Weightlifting has become far more than a sport for me. I love the challenge of it, the precision it demands and the fact that there is always something to learn - no matter how long you've been lifting.

As a competitive weightlifter, technical official and coach, I understand what it feels like to be on both sides of the bar. The nerves before a big lift, the frustration when something isn't clicking, the work behind a PB and the feeling when it finally comes together.

My approach to coaching is simple. Teach the movement well, build strong foundations and coach the person in front of you. I don't believe athletes need endless variations or constant cues. Sometimes the best coaching is giving someone the right information, then giving them the space and confidence to lift.

KILO & CO was created from my love of weightlifting and my belief that a great club should be about more than producing strong lifters. It should be somewhere people want to train, where everyone is valued and where we genuinely want to see each other succeed.

Good coaching. Good lifting. Good company.
