The Lifting Zone Reviews 121

So easy to use through TrueCoach. In 8 short weeks was able to PB most lifts which was awesome considering I had barely been doing any strength or oly lifting coming into the 8 week programme.

I’ve recently completed the Ultimate Strength Challenge and both my strength and technique have improved so much! I was only able to train 3 days a week instead of the five and managed to add 55kgs between my Squat, Front Squat, Clean, Jerks and Snatch. That’s an average of 24%. I’d recommend signing up to be a subscriber member as you get great advice for every workout you post.

I have followed Sonny for 4+ years now and always dreamt of attending one of his seminars. To say the seminar exceeded expectations is an understatement. Sonny made the atmosphere so exciting but most importantly, so safe for lifting and learning. Everything from Mobility, snatching, cleaning, and everything in between was extremely valuable. I can’t thank Sonny, Sam and the rest of his team enough.

What I loved most about doing Sonny’s program was the fact I never once felt like “just another number” or “another person paying for a program” I was treated with respect the whole way through and what made my experience different was sonny even took the time to reach out and ask how my wedding prep was going, congratulated me afterwards and even programmed my wedding day into my weekly schedule hahah

The daily feedback was huge during my 12 weeks, if I was every stuck on anything all I had to do was ask.

I had a few injuries along the way from my day to day activities and sonny was happy to put my programming on hold until I was better

All in all I had an awesome experience and definitely going to try continue in the new year

Thanks sonny and TLZ team

Training with Sonny has been nothing short of epic. I was sceptical at first training with someone just online but after my week I was sold. I had never done any Olympic lifting prior and the progress has been amazing. I’m can’t talk highly enough of how well and the attention detail the team go to for the programming and then check in each week for an in depth analysis to dial in the techniques. The systematic and methodical approach makes training easy and takes the guess work out of trying to progress. I couldn’t happier with how Sonny and the team have been and wouldn’t be able to hit my goals without them 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

the team of TLZ offers a vast number of training concepts, excercise manuals plus online / in person coachings.
the amount of knowledge ( both as former competing athletes as well as well pros with a educational background) that comes with their services is tremendous and will basically elevate everybody’s performance who is willing to follow their approach and put in the work (keep in mind that they will hold you accountable which is a big plus for a lot of folks).
the combination of the expertise that they bring to the table and the ability to communicate said information is what really is what seperates them from the majority of coaches and programs.
although the 1:1 coaching seems to be pricey (and i understand that not everybody has the funds to book this) it is well worth the money and is also way cheaper than a mediocre personal trainer if you compare the density of sessions and preparation and reviewing that comes with it. they are really. Helpful with adjusting your sessions on a weekly and even a daily basis if you struggle physicaly or psychologicaly which is something that a lot of trainers (not coaches) have a hard time doing.

so if you want to up your weightlifting game give it a try.

Amazing experience end to end. Sonny and all TLZ coaches all available for daily feedback on your sessions, technique calls to further dial in your progress and learn from other people’s challenges, individualised programs that are customised to match goals and improve current limitations. App is a breeze to use also with a ton of educational content all built in. Highly recommend!

It worked for me! I did Pb in back squat 7.5kg and front squat 10kg
I was sceptical at first but just trust the program 100%
Program in general its not so hard as others so you still can do other tranings.
Will start my new cycle!

My experience at the lifting zone has been a really good learning opportunity on improving and refining my technique to push new prs. I really appreciate all the support within the tech calls to really understand what needs to be fixed.

From top to bottom, everything taken care of. The feedback is very constructive and the management of time restraints or injuries is always taken into consideration. Major support from the staff as well as the TLZ members. Definitely a place to grow as a lifter in numbers, size and knowledge. Great experience and greater results

You get what you sign up for with The Lifting Zone. You get great communication from super enthusiastic coaches, excellent, interesting, and EFFECTIVE programming, and a great community to share and grow with. I've had an AMAZING three months, and can't wait to keep growing using what I've learnt!

They took my money but did not get access to the ultimate guide despite getting the email confirmation and logging in. The website is a mess, and it is hard to view anything. It feels like a scam, I had to recheck that I had the right website, but it sure is.

I 100% recommend trusting Sonny and his team to assist you on your lifting journey! They have a phenomenal background in olympic lifts which undoubtedly reflects in the results of their programming and coaching. I PB’d everything by 9+ kg (20+lbs) with their help. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous and skeptical in the beginning about how much TLZ team could do for me through online coaching, but I can truthfully say that the results I got out of this completely exceeded my expectations. The technical knowledge shared throughout this experience is absolutely unmatched and gave me all the confidence I was looking for in my lifting. I was very pleased and impressed to have received detailed feedback daily on all of my lifts, including an even more technically in depth zoom call weekly. In addition to their own knowledge, they bring in well known experts from many different exceptional backgrounds on a monthly call to talk with the members. The community that Sonny and his team are building is so uplifting and powerful and I’m stoked to be a part of it! I seriously cannot recommend enough taking on this experience!!

I started this program to improve my own lifting and to improve my coaching skills. Because of the very skilled and experienced coaches at TLZ I was able to improve both and could implement in my training and classes immediately. Besides the theoretical knowledge of the coaches, I especially enjoyed the experience of these Olympic lifters a lot. In lifting you cannot always get logic in to it, and experience can give a lot more at times especially to gain trust for example. I have PR'd almost everything, but more than that I have learned so much over the course of 12 weeks which will help me further in my own training and my classes. I especially want to thank Gaz for the nice and informative tech calls we had weekly. He always takes the time per athlete to handle everything and making sure this athlete can continue to a good week of training again. So much appreciated! The only point of criticism that I would have is that I missed some notes and cue's in my training program. Naturally these were given to me in the weekly tech calls, but sometimes it was too much to print in my head and I would have found it helpful if a specific focus point was mentioned in some exercises. Further than that, I have learned so much and I am very grateful. Would recommend 100%

Excellent team of coaches, clear guidance and the ability to adapt their coaching style and references depending on the person and situation. They really recognise everybody is on an individual journey of a variety of levels and try everything to find what works for you so you get to be the best you. The technical and community calls are brilliant, you realise you all share the same triumphs and challenges along the way. Would highly recommend.

Sonny and the team of coaches give me daily feedback on all my sessions and questions I have and not just with my lifts. Last minute they are on hand to tweak a session and offer advice. The weekly technical calls give as all a chance to learn from each other and monthly calls offer guest appearances from other sports to discuss a range of topics, they really are a fantastic group of coaches and give me the confidence I need and my strength and mobility is what has grown and I feel it in every daily activity, I wish I had the knowledge that Sonny and team have passed on when I was playing rugby in my younger years

Was a great service! It helped me cement my foundations in my Olympic lifting and having a huge 16kg on on my snatch!

Amazing Support !
Sonny and the whole team are super passionate & full of incredible expertise - my understanding, technique and confidence in all Olympic lifts have shot through the roof ! I feel I've advanced so much in a few months that would have otherwise taken years. Whole experience has been great, you really feel looked after and supported - multiple avenues to connect and get feedback from Coaches Sonny and Gaz and you're constantly receiving great feedback on technique and analysis breakdowns. Seriously can't recommend it enough !

The lifting zone provides an as-advertised experience, linking aspiring weightlifters around the world with knowledgeable coaches and likeminded athletes.

Programming is customized to the individuals goals. For myself, my programming was to build strength and form in both my Snatch and Clean Jerk.

After 3 months on the program my snatch increased by 20 lbs, my Clean Jerk by 25, and my mobility and form were both markedly improved across the board on both Olympic and classical lifts.

Worth the investment if you’re passionate about lifting.

Sonny was amazing!! I got so many tips that were not your standard lines. It was personalized advice. After every tip I felt my clean improve dramatically. The tips were clear and easy to implement.
Soooo happy!!
