We are a private powerlifting training facility, operated by Nick Surdis, a Westside Barbell Certified Personal Trainer.

We have a Monolift (only one in SE Mass), Westside Barbell Reverse Hyper, GHR, deadlift platform, specialty bars, sled, dumbbells, competition bench/power rack, chains, bands, Texas deadlift bar, Texas power bar, Iron wolfe Squat bar. 

We are more a powerlifting "club" than actually a fitness center. In other words, people that train with us here are training for the benefit of getting stronger as a primary goal on top quality equipment in a focused atmosphere.

People who are looking for a social atmosphere wouldn't really enjoy themselves here haha. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of fun, and enjoy ourselves while training, but some people like going to commercial gyms to meet people and socialize.. our group isn't really big enough for that. :)

We have about 5-8 people who train with us rotationally - some on a regular basis, some on an occasional basis. 

Our training is based upon the three main powerlifting lifts - Squat, Bench, Deadlift. It doesn't matter to us if you've been training for a week, or 5 years, our only goals are to help everyone get stronger safely.

We can have someone squatting 700 pounds, right after someone who is struggling to squat 225. That doesn't matter. Again, we are all working to help each other get better, and we realize that everyone is at a different stage of their training, and the only person you are competing with is yourself.

That being said, there are a lot of benefits to training with an experienced group, as we can help each other to not make the mistakes we have all made, and work on improving form. Form is the key to lifting heavily safely for a long period of time. Additionally - Safety is top priority with us - so by training in a focused group, only one person lifts at a time, while everyone else coaches or spots to make sure the training goes safely.

Again, some of our lifters come every session, some come once a week, some just come a couple of times a month to supplement or change up what they are doing in the nearby commercial gym. That works for some people who need a bit more flexibility in their training - but also want to get with an experienced team a few times a month to make sure their training is on track, and form is good.

Short Bio:

44 years old. I have always been involved in Strength sports as I played football from the time I was 7 years old thru my college years. When I was in my early 20's I got away from Strength Training when "real-life" took over.. ie Marriage, Babies, Jobs, etc...  In 2009 my friend Fred convinced me to join him at the gym.. to make a long story short, I got pinned under a 185lb bench press. This was quite humbling for someone who was benching 315 for reps in College.

Needless to say, I began training again and competing in Powerlifting in 2009.  Over the past 7+ years, I've become a student of the sport of powerlifting, competing in 2-3 meets per year, and learning as much as I could from the best players in the game.

3 years ago I made a huge investment in myself and my sport by recruiting Brian Carroll (1185lb squat at 275lbs) to coach me, as well as write my programming. I've never looked back since then. Brian's experience, training, and coaching has helped me put my best lifts together on the platform. Where they count.

In this sport, and as in life - you get out of it what you put into it. 

Best Meet lifts are a 700lb squat, 505lb bench, and 555lb deadlift.

Best gym lifts are a 720lb squat, 530lb bench, and 605lb deadlift.

On a regular basis, we have 4-5 people including myself who train 3 times per week. The other individuals kind of join us as it fits their schedules.
