Our Powerlifting Gym
Iron Raven is the South's dedicated powerlifting gym — in Tonbridge, Kent. Not a general gym with a platform in the corner. The whole floor, and every piece of kit, is built for powerlifters.
There isn't another dedicated powerlifting gym in Kent. Lifters come from Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone and across the South East because the floor is built for the sport — not a rack bolted onto a commercial gym.
Ground floor is the powerlifting floor — racks, platforms, and free weights. Machines and cardio sit upstairs, so rack space stays clear. No class timetable fighting for platform time. Competition-grade kit that lifters travel for — whether you're trying your first meet or peaking for the next one.
Two gyms, one building: Iron Raven for powerlifting, Sportive Tricks for strength and conditioning. One membership covers both.
