Powerlifting Isle of Man says former base in Castletown created 'barriers'
Powerlifting Isle of Man say it hopes more young people will join the sport when it moves in to a new designated centre in Douglas.
The organisation, formally known as 'Manx Powerlifting' was previously based at Revolution Gym in Castletown, however it recently acquired the keys to the former L'Experience building on Summerhill Road.
The aim is for the new space, which will be called the Powerlifting Isle of Man Performance & Development Centre, to be in operation by early next month.
Deputy Director of Operations Liz Young explained the challenges the organisation has faced previously:
Seeded riders confirmed for 2026 Supersport MGP
Enduro: Ramsey prepares to host British championship rounds
Martial Arts: Taekwon-do team takes big British championships medal haul
Big turnout expected for 2026 World Downhill Skateboarding Championships
Shooting: Faragher claims high gun at charity shoot
