Can I choose my coach?
Yes, as long as the coach has a spot available at the time. We always strive to match you with the coach who best aligns with your goals, availability, and personality.
What if I have never tried powerlifting before?
No problem at all! Powerlifting is for everyone, whether you’re completely new to the sport or have prior training experience. Our coaches will guide you step by step, ensuring you learn the proper techniques and build a strong foundation. With personalized programming and expert support, you’ll be set up for success and ready to make incredible progress.
Do I have to compete to join Team Hype?
No, not at all! Many of our athletes pursue powerlifting to challenge themselves and improve their strength without the goal of competing. We’re here to coach and support everyone, whether you’re training for personal growth or preparing for competition.
I have an injury, can I still do powerlifting?
Yes! Our coaches will do their best to work around your injury and help you heal as quickly as possible. We’ll adjust your program to ensure you can continue training safely while focusing on recovery. Your progress and well-being are our top priorities.
How do I communicate with my coach?
Depending on the coach, you’ll be able to communicate through Instagram or WhatsApp. Additionally, we have two community group chats, one on Discord and one on Instagram, where you can ask questions and get answers in a fraction of a minute. This ensures you’re always supported, whether it’s sharing training videos for feedback, seeking advice, or staying connected with the Team Hype community.
Do you offer nutrition guidance or meal plans?
