Teaching has been a passion of mine for a very long time. I find both purpose and joy in helping others learn and grow, to be both better at what I’m teaching them, but also to be better people. Weightlifting is a passion that has grown from a love of exercise and health. As I have involved myself more in this community, I knew it was a sport that I wanted to teach to others. There is no better feeling than combining these two passions of mine to help those in our club live and grow to be better athletes and better people!
Since beginning my journey at IWC I have been able to grow and learn constantly from the best. Allowing me to be better person and the coach that my Athletes and the Mini’s deserve. I didn’t find weightlifting. Weightlifting found me!

COACH TRISTAN GIBSON
When I have a passion I dive in, no compromises. Since beginning weightlifting I quickly fell in love with the sport and the people in it. With a passion for teaching I find joy in sharing my knowledge of the sport with those around me. I believe that when opportunity knocks, you answer the door and the opportunity to pursue weightlifting as both an athlete and a coach is one to be cherished. I strive to share this passion with all those who listen, use the challenge of weightlifting to mould your own character into something far stronger than the steel you strive to overcome.
