As mentioned on other sections of this website, the sport of powerlifting is very close to us here at Competitive Edge Power & Fitness. Our lifters come from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels, but they all share two things in common…. an passionate desire to get stronger, and a genuine interest to help others who share that desire. We average about 60 veteran powerlifters at any given moment, with about another 20 or so, who are currently in the process of training for their first powerlifting competition.

​

What do we offer?

 

Well, for starters, let's talk about community. At any given time we have about 80+ powerlifters that you can find training at our facility… a number that is growing every year. Of those who have prior experience in the sport, several of our members have held (or currently holding) American and/or World Records in their respective federations… and several have experience at National, International, and Invitational competitions. And as an added benefit, several of our lifters are certified referees... experts who are can assist your understanding of the rules of competition, and help ensure that your lifts are technically sound at all times. This level of experience and success is rarely found in any one powerlifting gym, and Competitive Edge is extremely fortunate to have this much talent under one roof. We feel confident in saying that the success of our lifters is a reflection of the quality we offer… in our equipment, our atmosphere, our knowledge of the sport, our training programs, and last, but not least… the quality of our members!

Over the years, our gym has been home to the Pennsylvania State Chair of the United States Powerlifting Association (USPA), and the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF). Since 2023, however, we have resigned from the idea of affiliating our gym with any single organization... although we still serve as a venue for meet directors who wish to contract our space for their powerlifting competitions. That said, our focus going forward (with regard to powerlifting) is simple. We're going to take everything we've learned in the past 3 decades... knowledge gained at every single level of the sport... and apply that toward building the greatest team of powerlifters ever amassed under one roof. 

 

But what does this all mean to you?

​

As a powerlifter, you will not find any gym in the Lehigh Valley that is equal to Competitive Edge Power & Fitness. Our equipment is plentiful, and in terms of quality, second to none... our staff and members have many decades of combined experience in all things related to building strength and power... and our atmosphere is unmatched in its intensity, and support. Whether you are a novice lifter looking to try out the sport, or and advanced powerlifter seeking the facility that will take you to the next level… Competitive Edge is the gym for you.

How do you get started?

​

For those looking to be trained by the best, we offer two options. You can join our group powerlifting classes for $50/month. Or, you can opt to sign up for personal 1-1 coaching, which will vary in cost, according to your goals/package selection. For more information, please sign up for a free tour on our home page. A tour will allow you to see our facility, and will serve as a meeting where we can discuss your goals, and any questions you may have. You will also have an opportunity to get in a free workout at the end of your tour, if you wish.
