Our students say
I have been competing competitively in powerlifting for approximately 3 years. I was fortunate to finally achieve my dream and became the 2023 IPL Drug tested world champion for the under 100kg men's open category. Not only was it a childhood dream to officially be crowned one of the strongest people in the world. I had also managed to achieve this huge feat whilst studying with Loughborough College and also in full time employment.
I am grateful for all of the support provided by the college and the allowances made available for athletes which has allowed me to manage my studies, employment and Powerlifting commitments.
