Over the past decade, The Dirty Gym has taken athletes to the highest stages of powerlifting across all federations, from The WPO to IPL Worlds. Take your training and technique to the next level.

Main movements are prescribed to elicit the perfect training response, no more trying to decide how many reps or sets you're doing for the day. Intensity, and volume are tightly monitored to best increase your overall strength.

Supplementals are specifically chosen to increase technical efficiency and build musculature.

Accessory movements to address weaknesses, increase muscular coordination, and get a mind bending pump.
