ATHLETE PERFORMANCE AT LIBERTY

STRENGTH
WITH A PURPOSE.

Our youth powerlifting and performance approach supports student-athletes from a range of sports, including football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, track and more. Coaching emphasizes sound lifting mechanics, progressive training and habits that carry beyond the weight room.

Built around the individual athlete—not a one-size-fits-all workout. This supervised youth program is separate from Liberty's standard adult-only open-gym membership.
