A fantastic gym with a close-knit community. It is quiet throughout the day which helps in moments you want to train alone and get the workout done. The gym community tend to pick up later in the evening (5pm to 10pm) if you ever wanted the extra motivation/support to get through the workout.

Open Powerlifting FAQs
Is powerlifting suitable for beginners?
Yes. Powerlifting can suit beginners very well, provided the focus is on learning proper technique, building confidence, and progressing at an appropriate rate.
You do not need to be strong before you start. Most beginners benefit from:
- learning how to squat, bench press, and deadlift properly
- training in a structured way instead of guessing
- building strength gradually without rushing into max lifts
- getting feedback on technique early so bad habits do not build up
Can I train here if I am not a powerlifting competitor?
Yes. You do not need to compete to train in a powerlifting-focused gym.
A lot of people simply enjoy the style of training because it is structured, measurable, and effective for building strength, muscle, and confidence under the bar.
What kind of powerlifting people do we cater for?
We cater for a wide range of lifters, including:
- beginners learning the lifts for the first time
- recreational lifters who want to get stronger and train properly
- intermediate lifters who want better programming and technique
- competitive lifters who want proper equipment and a serious training environment
The main difference is not whether you compete. It is whether you want to train with more structure, better technique, and better equipment.
How many times a week should I train for powerlifting?
That depends on your training age, recovery, goals, and schedule. For most people, three to five training days per week is common.
The important part is not chasing some perfect number. It is choosing a frequency you can recover from and stick to consistently.
Is powerlifting 3 times a week enough?
Yes. Three sessions per week can be enough for many beginners and intermediate lifters to make very solid progress.
You may need to be more selective with exercise choice, volume, and recovery, but three good sessions done consistently is far better than a higher-frequency plan you cannot sustain.
What is the best way to train for powerlifting?
There is no single best program for everyone, but good powerlifting training usually includes:
- practice of the squat, bench press, and deadlift
- progressive overload over time
- enough work to build muscle and improve weak points
- appropriate exposure to heavier loads
- technique work and sensible fatigue management
The best plan is the one that matches your level, goals, injury history, and recovery capacity.
Am I too old to start powerlifting?
No. You can start strength training and powerlifting-style training at many ages.
Progress may be a bit slower for some people compared with when they were younger, but that does not mean you cannot get significantly stronger, build muscle, and improve confidence and physical capacity.
Do I need a powerlifting coach?
No, not everyone does. But coaching can help you improve faster and avoid a lot of wasted time.
A good coach can help with:
- technique feedback
- programming and progression
- competition preparation if you want to compete
- adjustments around pain, recovery, or plateaus
- accountability and confidence under the bar
Is powerlifting harder than bodybuilding or general strength training?
They are different, not better or worse.
Powerlifting is mainly focused on improving your squat, bench press, and deadlift. Bodybuilding is mainly focused on muscle development and physique. General strength training sits somewhere broader in the middle.
There is overlap between all three. The right approach depends on whether your main priority is performance, muscle, physique, or a mix of those goals.
SPC Performance Lab is a private powerlifting and strength training gym in Taren Point for people who want an alternative to crowded commercial gyms. The gym is open to everyone, from general lifters wanting to get stronger and improve their physique through to powerlifters looking for proper equipment and a better training environment.
Our facility includes competition grade powerlifting equipment, plus a range of machines for bodybuilding, hypertrophy, and general strength training. We also offer evidence-based personal training for people who want help with technique, programming, and long-term strength progress.
We keep a strict member cap to reduce overcrowding and waiting for equipment. If you want to see whether our Taren Point gym is the right fit for your training, you can start with a free gym trial.
