EXPERIENCE. PRECISION. INTENT.
At Amplitude Strength, we don’t guess. We build. Led by Head Coach Grant Haines, our coaching methodology is grounded in over a decade of high-performance experience. We combine the discipline of old-school weightlifting with modern biomechanics to build athletes who last.
We have coached athletes from their very first pull all the way to the National platform. Whether you are lifting for gold or lifting for life, you get the same level of technical scrutiny and support.

THE BIO:
Grant is a fixture in the Australian weightlifting community, bringing over 15 years of professional coaching experience to the platform.
