🏋️‍♂️ The future of weightlifting and strength sports in the Scottish Borders is looking bright!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting the fantastic Live Borders Tri-Fitness facility to present Matthew and Lewis with their well-earned certificates after successfully completing their Level 2 Modern Apprenticeship in Sports Coaching – Weightlifting and achieving their British Weight Lifting coaching qualifications.

📣“I thoroughly enjoyed completing my Sports Coaching Modern Apprenticeship along with my British Weightlifting qualification. The course was well structured, engaging, and provided a great balance of theory and practical coaching experience. It has improved my understanding of the Olympic lifts and, more importantly, developed my coaching techniques, communication skills, and ability to identify and correct movement faults.” Lewis Watt Lewis Watt

📣“I really enjoyed my Modern Apprenticeship and completing my British Weightlifting qualification as part of it. It has given me valuable knowledge and practical skills to perform and coach weightlifting. This will help me going forward in both my own training and when coaching rugby players to lift safely and effectively to help develop their performance.” Matthew McDonald .mcdonald

Congratulations to both Matthew and Lewis on this fantastic achievement. I look forward to seeing the impact they make as they continue their coaching journeys and help develop the next generation of lifters and strong humans across the Scottish Borders especially with the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026 just around the corner.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in supporting their development and creating pathways for these aspiring coaches.

“The most rewarding moments come from recognising and nurturing the potential already within our teams. When I first joined The Bannatyne Group in Stepps at the start of the year Craig worked as a Member Care Assistant. His qualities stood out immediately⭐

By taking the time to understand his career aspirations, we were able to support his drive for continuous learning, and I am incredibly proud to share that after committing to his Level 2 Gym Instructor Certificate, Craig has officially transitioned into his new role as a Fitness Advisor 💪

Craig’s journey is a testament to the power of internal progression; by embracing new skills, he hasn’t just changed his job title—he has unlocked an entirely new career pathway.

A massive thank you to the team at Fitness Training Scotland for their exceptional support in helping him achieve this milestone 👏” David Fitzpatrick General Manger Bannatyne Stepps | Health Club | Gym | Wellness

Another X Adaptive Open completed!

It’s fantastic to see this competition continuing to grow, with more adaptive strength athletes stepping onto the platform each year. From snatching with one arm to clean and jerking with one leg, these awesome athletes continue to demonstrate what humans are capable of when given the opportunity to compete and excel.

Inspiring or what!

This year also saw the introduction of a rising bar system, bringing the competition more in line with traditional weightlifting events as adaptive strength sport continues to develop and evolve.

It was great to have from WodAptive, who joined the Technical Official team this year, along with myself and .holt_ His expertise in adaptive sport, understanding of athlete classifications, and knowledge of competition standards were invaluable in ensuring a fair, professional, and successful event for all competitors.

Congratulations to everyone involved, athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, and supporters, for another outstanding competition.

The future of adaptive strength sport is looking brighter and stronger than ever.
