We are incredibly pleased to announce that Ellen Fitzgibbons | Coeliac Strength Coach is joining the Barbell Division team as our newest coach/PT! Keep reading if you want to find out more about her:

“Hello! I’m Ellen!

I’m excited to be coaching here!

I work with everyday athletes who take their training seriously and want to perform at a higher level - not just chase aesthetics, but build real strength, confidence, and consistency in what they do.

I’m a powerlifter myself. I’ve been in the sport for 5 years, so I know first-hand what it takes to chase a number, push through a plateau, and show up when training isn’t easy.

My coaching is built around outcome-based goals: things like adding kilos to your deadlift, improving your conditioning, or hitting a race time you’ve been chasing - because progress should be measurable, not vague.

I believe training doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That means looking at how you fuel your performance and how you recover, not just what you lift. And I believe in training as part of a community - surrounding yourself with people who understand the dedication it takes to actually see results, especially if you don’t always get that support elsewhere.

If that sounds like you, come say hi - i’d love to help you hit your next goal.”

Say hi to her in the comments or in person because she will be around from now on 👏🏻!

THE AARON PAGE CLASSIC 2026 - 14th of November.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the APC and six years since we lost Aaron, so we want to make this one truly special.

For this year’s competition, we’re putting together the APC “Greatest Hits” and bringing back the people’s favourite events from across the past five years.

And we want you to help us choose them.

Which events deserve to make a comeback? What was your favourite to compete in or watch? Let us know in the comments. Include the year if you can remember it and what you loved about it!

As always let’s make this the greatest APC yet and a celebration Aaron would be proud of 🖤
