A community of lifters, of people, for change
Community drives mettle to do things differently, and to challenge for positive change. We train and compete, we coach and learn, and we strive to make a difference on a daily basis.
At mettle, achievement is not just measured by competition success (which is different to others in the strength world). And we have fun, lots of fun. We believe that through lifting, we can build healthier, happier and stronger communities.
