Building strength, community, and champions across America

In gyms from coast to coast, lifters step up to the platform with a shared purpose: to test their strength, push their limits, and become part of something bigger than themselves. The United States Powerlifting Coalition, based in Fairmont, West Virginia, makes that journey possible by creating the framework and opportunities for powerlifters at every level to compete fairly and seriously.

From certified gyms that meet rigorous training standards to national championships that draw competitors nationwide, the USPC ensures that whether someone is just discovering the sport or chasing records, they find a structured, professional environment. The organization's commitment extends beyond the lift itself—through judge training, meet director resources, and divisions tailored to different athletes' needs, the USPC builds a community where everyone belongs.

Under new ownership, the coalition continues its work with renewed energy, knowing that powerlifting thrives when lifters have access to quality competition, trusted leadership, and clear pathways to grow. Every meet sanctioned, every certified gym recognized, and every coach trained represents another lifter empowered to discover what their strength can do.
