BCB Weightlifting

BCB Weightlifting is a remote, weightlifting coaching service by Kate Stavri. 

Kate is weightlifting coach (British Weightlifting Level 1&2) and Personal Trainer (Level 3) with over 6 years of coaching experience both in person at weightlifting and CrossFit gyms, but also remotely. She specialises in working with athletes, as well as individuals looking to improve their Olympic weightlifting! 

As an athlete herself, who has competed both in regional, national and international competitions, she understands the expectations from a weightlifting coach and loves to help athletes of all levels reach their full potential and goals. Her coaching philosophy integrates a structured program of the main lifts, warm ups and mobility drills, as well as accessory work to ensure sustainable athletic development and injury prevention.

BCB: Black Cat Barbell

The name comes from our love for black cats which are often perceived as the underdogs of the cat world, due to their association with bad luck. Here at Black Cat Barbell we believe that luck is the result of your efforts - no one has inherently bad luck as we make our own luck through hard work.
