⚠️ Important update:
Due to a scheduling clash with my own competition weekend, we’ve moved the Alpha meet to a new date. Easter weekend also gives more people time to travel and compete, so this works better all round. Sorry for any inconvenience.🐣

This year, the stage is going to be massive.

Step up. Load the bar. Make every lift count.

The last comps were electric and once again, and are teaming up with .richy to bring that same atmosphere and energy back to the North East.

Join us at Alpha Gym for an adrenaline-fuelled day of raw strength, fierce energy, and unstoppable drive.

Had a special visit yesterday from the man who helped shape powerlifting in this gym … I’ll always be grateful for the time Sam spent here and everything he taught me and our members.

Some of us will never witness a 400kg squat again, never mind stand behind it for a spot with the whole room watching. Those moments live in Alpha forever.

Was lovely to meet too. Unbelievable grip, calisthenics/street lifting strength too 👏

Seeing Sam back in his favourite corner with his favourite people reminded me what real friendship looks like. Even after moving to Thailand and Bali, you’re welcome back here anytime big man. Miss you Bro just not your music still 😅
Apologies to some of the members as well.😅

Thanks for stopping by Sam. Catch up again soon always staying in touch 📱

A short intro 🎥🍿

Alpha isn’t a casual gym.
It’s a training environment for people who take lifting seriously.

Powerlifting.
Bodybuilding.
Strongman.
Arm wrestling.
Grip work.

A room where most members are competing, have competed, or are training like they will.

We’re open 6am–10pm.
We don’t shorten hours.
And we don’t shut for holidays.

You’ll find:
• Full powerlifting setup
• Strongman equipment
• Arm wrestling & grip corner
• Serious bodybuilding kit
• Sauna for recovery
• Coaches who actually walk the walk

We’ve got multiple membership options available, including:
Standard • Student • NHS/Blue Light • Couples
(Links in bio)

No half-hearted training.
Just high standards and hard work.

Join the strongest gym in the North 🦍

⚠️ Warning: you may be humbled by the students…
or highly motivated by them 😈

YOU Decide. 🫵🏻

2025. What a year. 🖤 🥂

This one’s for the people who make Alpha Gym what it really is 🐺

To the members who step on platforms and represent Alpha every time they compete win lose or grind it out respect 🏋️‍♂️🏆 You carry the name properly.

To the ones that stay loyal all year round back the gym never cancel and never disappear when things get tough that doesn’t go unnoticed 🤝💪

To the people who’ve run the gym when I can’t be here all hours 😅 🫣 kept standards high doors open and the place moving thank you that trust is earned 🔑🔥

To everyone who helps on comp days loading bars spotting setting up tearing down running around like headless chickens 😅 you turn chaos into something special every time 🏋️‍♀️⚡️

To the meals out coffees laughs late nights and life chats outside the gym
Yeah I’ve gained a few friends for life unfortunately 😉 🍔☕️🍻

From no graffiti to full on 🎨
This place found its personality because of you.

Big respect to & for backing us and trusting Alpha with competitions throughout the year 🏆🇬🇧

And honestly to every single member this gym wouldn’t be what it is without you ❤️
People say it all the time but here it’s actually true.

The most respected gym in Newcastle probably the country if we’re being honest 😅 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
There aren’t many gyms where the members practically run it for you and that didn’t happen overnight.

That was built over time ⏳
Through effort loyalty standards and community.

Thank you all.
When it comes down to it we really are a pack of wolves 🐺🐺🐺

Here’s to another year 2026

BIGGER -> BETTER -> STRONGER 🥂
Cheers

Alpha Gym Fam 🖤🐺richy 🙏

Arm wrestler benches 160kg (171kg) x2 💪

Member Phil rocks up in his work boots after a full day’s graft 🥾
No preamble. No excuses 😤

Loads the bar 20kg cast iron plates at a time no baby jumps 🏋️‍♂️

I tell him (again): “You’re lifting on a deadlift bar with cast iron plates that are 21.9kg
He asks, “What’s the difference?” 🤨

I explain the whip. The bounce. The longer bar. The instability it actually weighing more than it is.. ⚖️
He nods… and pulls anyway 😐

He says:
“Weight is weight. Bars are bars”.

“Strong is strong,” I say 💬
Let’s get it 🔥

Cast iron plates (we all know they weigh more 😏)
171kg × 2 on a deadlift bar 💀
Back flat as a pancake 🧱

No warm-ups ❌
No whining about twisted racks or uneven floors ❌No clips. No sleeves. No wrist wraps ❌
No caffeine. No hype ☕️❌

Man doesn’t even know his own potential 😳

In. Out. Under an hour ⏱️
Accessories sent to oblivion 🚀

This is strong 🦍
And I mean f**kin’ strong

Writing this one hits differently… it feels like looking back on years of memories 💔

Powerlifting final boss 🫡

Back in June 2023, we sponsored a young lifter called Abdul Mojeed Sulayman, known to everyone as Mo. 🇬🇧

After 2.5 years representing Alpha, he’s now moving to Manchester, and we’re honestly devastated to lose him. 😞

Mo wasn’t just another athlete.
He was the foundation of this gym. 🧱
He chose Alpha before we even had any powerlifting kit, Mo choose us because of our Panatta equipment he could use for his accessories and from that moment we built the gym around helping him compete at the highest level. 🚀

He became our first major IPF athlete, sponsored by SBD and ESN, representing Team GB 🥇 🇬🇧 and Alpha on the world stage 🌎 with professionalism and pride. A true one-in-a-million lifter.

We watched him grow from a dominant u105kg Arnold’s winner 🏆 into an absolute monster in the u120kg class.

Mo’s best numbers

🏋️ 357.5kg squat
🛋️ 220kg bench
⚡️ 382.5kg deadlift
🔢 937.5kg total

Some of his best lifts at Alpha

🔥 350kg x2 squat
🔥 215kg bench
🔥 390kg deadlift

But beyond the numbers, it was the man that made Mo special. 🙏
Humble, consistent, professional, always helping others with zero ego and nothing but standards. 💯

Mo showed everyone in Alpha what it truly takes to reach the top. His work ethic is something you have to see to believe. 💯 🔥

There won’t be another Mo, but he’s left a blueprint, a standard, and a legacy inside these walls. 🏛️

Mo, we’re unbelievably proud of you and grateful for every session and every standard you set here. 🙌

Good luck with your next competition coming soon.

We hope you recover in time and show everyone exactly who you are. 💪⚡️

The perfect definition of a PowerBuilder 🦍

Once an Alpha, always an Alpha. 🐺 🇳🇬

22 years old. u105kg class.
One of the strongest students I’ve ever met 💪🔥

This lad walked in, loaded 270kg, told me he was “going for a single” and then hit a double like it was a last warm-up set 😅
Insane strength for his age and weight class.

It’s a shame he’s not based in Newcastle because he’d be a serious asset to Alpha Gym. Still buzzing to have him in whenever he’s here. Good luck with the comps coming up, mate 🤝

Mad to think you’ve just taken my max sleeve squat in front of me… for two reps… at 22 🤯 Different level.

The uni lot really are the future of powerlifting if they can stay injury-free and balance work, life, and training. The numbers they’re about to put up will be unreal.

Some big lifts loading in the next 8 weeks for the Comp 👀🚀
