"TODAY'S PERSONAL BESTS WILL SOON BECOME YOUR WARM-UPS"
ABOUT ME
JOE LYONS
I am a strength coach and personal trainer practising out of Güdlift gym in Eccles. In May 2024 the gym opened Güdlift Ground Zero, a state of the art powerlifting facility with IPF and WPC approved training and competition kit.
I like to take a no nonsense approach to training, no matter what your goal is - whether you want to compete in the sport of powerlifting seriously or just want to shape up, add mass, trim down fat or look good for a holiday. My approach is simple: no gimmicks, no bro-science, just proven methods done properly with a focus on good efficient technique and the right programming to apply to your goals.
I am former head coach of the powerlifting club at Fighting Fit in Manchester where I led group sessions, courses and 121 sessions for 5 years. Since the closure of the powerlifting club after lockdown, I have been coaching at Güdlift full time for the past 2 years. I have coached clients from complete beginners to international athletes in the IPF and WPC.
I am an active competing powerlifter myself, so feel safe in the knowledge that I practise what I preach and have hands on experience in the sport. Although this isn't essential, it is a huge benefit to the people that I train.

SUCCESS STORIES
"To think how far I have come on this journey with you! I am British Champion and also hold a deadlift record! Thank you for everything."
Dr Amna Khan, U52 M1 British Champion & British Deadlift Record holder.

"My partner had been training with Joe and told me of the great work and help she had recieved with her lifts. I have played at the highest level of rugby league in the UK for 8 years now and during this time I've received many injuries which have had a debilitating effect over that time. One in particular was an ankle problem that prevented me from being able to get into a simple squat position and so meant I couldn't perform such movements. This had a detrimental effect on my leg power and strength. I had a 6 week intensive training block with Joe in my off season. The coaching, the guidance and the confidence I gained in such a short space of time saw me able to deadlift properly and squat down to depth again, hitting numbers I hadn't seen for years and then surpassing numbers i'd hit before. I've gone from strength to strength since, and it's all down to Joe and his coaching points and help. Always will be highly recommended by myself."

"Thanks to Joe I was able to transform from a 60kg runner, who had never touched a weight, to an 85kg powerlifter. He has helped me achieve both my strength and physique goals."
