Wolfpack powerlifting club

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Darren highly enough, went to see him with a suspected torn groin, unable to walk and in excruciating pain even sitting down/standing up, 1hr later I left realising I had nothing wrong with my groin but a torn hamstring (in my other leg!) pain free and able to not only walk but even go for a jog!

Fantastic experience: Daz did some great physio work on my back, releasing my shoulder and frame. Feels the best it has in a long time!

Fantastic experience: Daz is great, very knowledgeable, helped me out so much, definitely going back there

Fantastic experience: The owner Darren is very committed to training and exercise. His love for the sport is obvious. His knowledge and willingness to share are exemplary. The gym has a good range of equipment, everyone is friendly and willing to help. This is what I'd term an old school gym, gym etiquette is paramount.

Fantastic experience: Went to see Daz due to being in a lot of pain in my groin and hips area in the space of half an hour. Daz has sorted me out. I now have more range of movement in my hip flexors. Fully recommend

Fantastic experience: I started training with Daz and wolfpack powerlifting about 10 months ago. I had been lifting for a couple of years prior but my form and technique were terrible and whilst I knew I had issues I didn't know how to correct them. Over time Daz has corrected all my lifts to the point where I am now a competitive power lifter with a handful of British records. His attention to detail is 2nd to none and training via zoom means I get real time corrections. He goes above and beyond for his clients travelling the country to support and coach at competitions. Joining the wolfpack is one of the best things I have ever done.

Fantastic experience: Joined Wolfpack 10 months ago. Darren puts his heart and soul into every member. His coaching is exemplary - his passion and knowledge on powerlifting, amongst other things, comes through in all he does. The attention to detail for form is amazing, you feel safe and strong with every lift. The community which has been created at Wolfpack is a family, every member helps, motivates and cheers one another on.

Fantastic experience: My brother and I were looking for a powerlifting gym in Manchester while staying for an event and thought we'd give Wolfpack a look, which turned out to be the best part of our stay. As soon as you enter your surrounded by photos and achievements from the club (there's a ton) and everyone in the place was really friendly, like a big family. Daz immediately made us feel at home, and even though it was our first time there, gave us a full, in-depth coaching session which was far beyond anything you'd get anywhere else. This man knows his stuff, deeply. He's coached world champions, and has deep knowledge of passion of lifting. If you enjoy strength training you must come here. We left with a whole new mindset and gained a new coach. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Started coming once a week to try improve my fitness for rugby. Welcomed by everyone in the gym. I then suffered a dislocated knee and with Darren’s time and effort got back full mobility within five weeks of the injury. Would definitely recommend this gym to anybody who wants to start training. No matter your ability you get the same treatment, coaching and support.

Fantastic experience: Joined wolfpack around early January 2022. The whole group there was super welcoming and never at any point made me feel like I was an outsider. The main coach, Darren, has helped me so much in the moths I have been going. Sharing his knowledge and experience to the point that has not only increase my lifting abilities, but has changed my attitude in my gym and in every day life. Joining the wolfpack has honestly changed my life for the better. I am now eagerly going every day (if not twice a day) and have even gained friends and workout partners who are all pushing for a common goal and who will push me to become better. I couldn't recommend this gym more.

Fantastic experience: The players have utilised Wolfpack for training and it really benefitted the players. Darren has really helped with fitness and now a lot of the lads have signed up and attend regularly and are more than happy with their results so far!

Fantastic experience: I started fitness training with Daz as part of my rugby team. I now attend with my son for strength and fitness work and we both love it and have improved loads since starting

Fantastic experience: A superb gym with top class coaching and support. Ive been at the Wolfpack 3 months now and the physical and mental gains that I've made are remarkable. Darren is extremely knowledgable and helpful, and has built a superb community of members who help and support each other. First class

Fantastic experience: Just had a shoulder back neck massage and it was worth eveth penny. My shoulders which were extremely tight causing pain to radiate now feel free. 5 star service amazing

Fantastic experience: Since coming here the service is so professional and run amazing . I’ve got fitter and stronger really quick and safe at doing it . Also had first sport massage and I feel great . Had bad shoulder injury from years ago but now have lots of range and flexibility back . Thank you Darren Stafford

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Absolutely amazing level of knowledge and experience you will not regret working with Darren, the only regret might be you didn't move sooner!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member of the Wolfpack now since September 2020. Since then I’ve come a long way and yet more to come. I learned more and more every single session, gained better understanding of training, coaching and the outside pinnacles of training overall. I had a back injury from my previous gym membership, which back then i had no knowledge of training whatsoever. After a breakdown from starting at Wolfpack, form, programming, diet and proper recovery all added together to stop that said injury. Now everything feels great and yet still more to learn. I soon came to realise that Wolfpack isn’t just the ordinary gym, its a club and a team of members all with goals. These members all work insanely hard to reach those goals. Couldn’t be more happier to be part of that team

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I was coached from a beginner by Darren Stafford to a competitive powerlifter. It's great to lift in a club where everyone supports each other. Tailered coaching to fix those sticking points and make you the best you can be.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the wolfpack since the end of July 2020 and it has changed my mindset on weightlifting. Darren fixes your form first of all, and in doing that I achieved some personal bests on just the first day! Having time off for covid and isolating didn't matter, I never felt like it was a chore to come walking back through the doors. Everyone is so supportive of each other and we all want each other to succeed. Each person has their own goal to work towards, and Darren helps in every possible way to get you there. He won't give up on you even if you do the same thing wrong over and over again! He will persevere and that's what makes this place different. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality My husband, aged 51, had a sports massage today after going to the gym for a while and realised shoulder problems were holding him back. After one session with Daz he gave him movement he never knew he could have since childhood. Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! It's one big family, always feel happy going in. Darren is a great coach thankyou so much to all the members for making me feel at home.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, Very friendly gym, the members are like a family, everyone has a positive attitude, great environment, everyones happy to help each other. Out of all the places I have trained in before this beats every other gym hands down.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym, close knit group of people and top of the range coach; knows his profession inside and out. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Decent gym with a brilliant coach. Only gym Iv been to where I feel comfortable

Fantastic experience: I am so glad to have arrived back into Darren's safe hands. I'm in my mid Fifties and going through Menopause and everything else a woman of my age goes through.....Tiredness, Painful Knees, Hips, Lower Back, Shoulders, Lack of Energy, Weight gain.... you name it, I've got it.... I've had problems with my right shoulder and pains in my arms since before the first lockdown. After paying out for Physio, which did not work and taking prescription Painkillers I decided I had to get back to Darren, as he really understands the human body and it's workings. I started back on April 14th and Darren built a program specifically for my needs which has made a huge difference to my posture, flexibility and strength already. I have not taken a Painkiller for weeks as I feel I don't need them anymore. Yesterday I had my first Massage to my shoulders and back which resulted in me having more motion and NO more stiffness and pain in the areas I have been experiencing for the last almost 2 years. I must say it was the absolute best Massage I have ever experienced. He got straight to the problem area and for the first time in months I slept like a baby without waking up several times due to being in pain... If you are like me, hesitant due to lack of mobility and being in constant pain please, please try this Club. Darren will listen to you and then put the right program together for you and work with you through each exercise to build your confidence and make you a stronger person. Darren knows not every person is the same and therefore you really do get that VIP treatment.

Fantastic experience: Today I had the sports massage at the gym. All I can say is, ladies and gents, get yourselves booked in! The whole experience was professionally and respectfully carried out by Darren. He explained at each stage what he was going to do and why, along with making sure I was comfortable before beginning. During the massage Darren ensured the areas he wasn’t working on were covered with a towel at all times. I was completely at ease throughout. The best part - the massage was amazing! Darren took his time to thoroughly work through the knots and issues (there were plenty). In just one session not only did I regain mobility in my left arm (which was very painful prior to this) but he also rectified other niggles I wasn’t aware of. I feel great! I truly cannot recommend this enough to everyone. Thank you Darren! I really appreciate it. Not only do you have a great gym, but you are an exceptional coach and sports massage therapist. ☺️

Fantastic experience: I joined the Wolfpack at one a time of my life where there was a lot going on. I had one session with Darren Stafford and I was hooked. He was able to bring me back onto my path and make me as strong as I could be to handle everything I was going through. In the next year in a half I was able to become physically and mentally strong. The pandemic hit and was the perfect time to see what I was made of and put these tools to use. I was able to become the strongest I ever was and go to win two first place medals in powerlifting. I could never see myself not be with the pack and I’m 1000’s of miles away. Me being in America should be proof that his training and methods work and also he Genuinely cares about you and wants to see you be the best version of you that you can be! I have not only found a great coach but a great family within the pack.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Wolfpack in 2020 and trained via zoom with Darren Stafford. In a year he has changed my posture, my mentality, strength and approach to training. I got to train in person at the gym in Stalybridge finally in April 2021 and it didn't disappoint. The members are warm, supportive and Darren is a wealth of knowledge and trains each person individually to be strong, confident and safe. Hand to heart the best thing I have ever done for myself and I look forward to being able to visit the gym again.

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: Simply the best gym I have ever been to, can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Darren is very knowledgeable and easy going. Great gym for nervous people as they are encouraging and friendly

Fantastic experience: Best gym for miles. Darren Stafford owner and coach really knows his stuff. Grateful for all the help he has given me over the past year. All the members are a great bunch more like a family. Everyone looks out for one and other
