Power Academy

If you are looking for a community of Olympic Lifters under the tutelage of terrific coaching, look no further! I have been training with Dave and the Power Academy for many years. Dave is an outstanding coach with an eye for detail. He has coached me from an overzealous beginner to an athlete standing atop podiums locally, nationally and internationally. No matter where you are in your Olympic Lifting journey, Dave is the coach to get you to the next level!

I’ve been a part of Power Academy for a little over a year now and it has been a wonderful experience! Dave is a fantastic and encouraging coach who always takes the time to meet you where you’re at in your weightlifting journey. The group classes are always a fun and uplifting time with a great group of people!

I've been training with Coach Dave at Power Academy for over a year. Starting out with no previous experience in Olympic lifting, I really appreciate Dave's approach to coaching and athlete development. He runs a friendly and open program, and provides detailed workout planning. His experience and history with lifting is evident through his feedback during in person training.

Coach Dave Earle is great!! If you are just learning the sport of Olympic weightlifting or if you have been doing it for a while now, he has got you covered! Always willing to adjust your online training plan and schedule to suit your needs, whether is because of life or injury! Training at the gym with the team has such an amazing vibe and highly recommend it! I am not always able to make it to the scheduled classes so most of my training is done from the training plan where you send videos to Dave to critique and give feedback. The feedback from the videos I send Dave is very helpful, descriptive and has allowed me to improve without the in person weekly training! Definitely recommend Dave at the power academy!!

This is a great opportunity for both beginners and those with some experience to learn and develop their weightlifting skills!The gym space is great and Dave does a phenomenal job during class at ensuring everyone is given the direction and attention they require based on skill level.I started to train virtually with Dave a year ago and have seen huge improvements! When visiting the gym it is a great team environment to be surrounded by.

Whether you're a novice, intermediate or elite lifter, Dave Earle is the guy for you. I can't express my appreciation to have Dave as a coaches eye while I am training with him and his team. He has always provided excellent feedback, expressed suggestions for accessory exercises, and has always provided a competitive and fun atmosphere. If you're in Kitchener and you are interested in Weightlifting or getting better - you're missing out if you're not coming to him to be your coach.

Power Academy is so fun! Dave Earle is an excellent coach and is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Olympic Weightlifting. He is also very good at young athlete development. I have been involved in a number of sports competitively and the development of youth and junior athletes is a specific skill at which Dave excels. I highly recommend Power Academy.

Dave is a great coach. Even though that I was attending his classes for about a month I can definitely see a progress in my technique and strength. Dave can choose a training program for all levels of weightlifters. I can strongly recommend Dave's classes for everyone willing to try or to get better in weightlifting.

Dave is an incredible coach. Although I had no previous experience Olympic Weightlifting, with Dave's excellent coaching and exposure to a supportive community, I was able to compete in my first competition last year. I really like the online scheduling platform to easily book your weekly or bi-weekly coaching sessions. The coaching sessions are a welcoming environment for anyone new - like me. Additionally, Dave has a great structured digital program for you to work on throughout the week. He provides detailed and critical feedback on technique on any weightlifting videos you send him. I recommend the program highly for its great leadership and community.

Dave is the absolutely best - knowledgeable, patient, and knows how to motivate each individual in their own way. I've been training with him for a little over a year and I've gained a ton of confidence and strength. The whole team is a dream too! Everyone wants the best for all the other athletes and it's such a nice environment. If you're keen to learn how to lift and need a coach in KW then Power Academy and Dave at the way to go!
