July 2025
Over the weekend Amanda, one of our KTPT Athletes competed at Taupo's First 3 Lift Powerlifting competition, hosted by Waikato/Bay of Plenty Powerlifting Club.
Amanda had a great day going 8/9 and hitting PB's in ALL her lifts, qualifying her for Open Nationals in September, which will be held in Invercargill.
Amanda ended with a 155kg Squat, 82.5kg Bench and a HUGE 180kg Deadlift!
Giving her a 417.5kg Total.
Impressive work Amanda!
She will now be head down in prep for Open Nationals in 9 weeks time.
On July 26th Katie hit the platform for the first time at Souther Powerlifting Club & Novice competition.
She had an amazing day going 9/9 and 27 white lights! Hitting a new Personal Best on her Deadlift.
Katies ended her day with a 75kg Squat, 42.5kg Bench and 110kg Deadlift with more left in the tank.
I have been coaching Katie online for the past 16 weeks in preparation for this competition. In that time she has improved her technique in all her lifts bringing them up to a beautiful competition standard, which truly showed in her performance on the platform.
Congratulations Katie!
AUGUST
Sunday 3rd August, Lauren took on the Sky tower Step up challenge.
This event helps raise funds for the Leukaemia foundation and involves participants climbing up the 1103 steps!
This was Lauren's second time completing this event. But this year she decided to take it on with a 25kg weight vest strapped to her!
In the lead up to this event Lauren trained with me to improve her leg strength and overall fitness conditioning.
Lauren successfully completed the challenge in 22minutes!
Just incredible.
Massive congratulations Lauren!
30th August was Barbell Confidence.
A 6hr hands on workshop for both Women & Men.
We had a great day, with the attendees learning the foundations to Barbell Squat, Bench and Deadlift.
Leaving with a better understanding on how stability expresses strength.
It was so awesome to see everyone's confidence grow over the day. Some hitting some new personal bests, pushing outside their comfort zones and realising they are stronger than they think!
