"I’ve had the privilege of working with Carl Penney at Palm Beach Weightlifting for over 5 years, and I can honestly say he’s an incredible coach. Carl’s programming and knowledge of weightlifting and athleticism have completely transformed how I train. Early on, I realized I had been working harder than I needed to—Carl helped me train smarter, and because of that I’ve achieved more with my body than I ever thought possible. With his guidance, I’ve qualified for nationals three times, and the process has been both challenging and rewarding. Carl is professional, experienced, and genuinely invested in his athletes’ success. He knows how to maximize performance in a way that is sustainable and effective. It’s been a true pleasure to work with him, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone who wants to get the very best out of themselves."

"Coach Carl is AMAZING at what he does. I’ve been training here for a few weeks and my snatch and clean forms have improved significantly. The fellow lifters are all encouraging and friendly. There is no other gym I’d rather be at working on my Olympic lifts than Palmbeach Weightlifting."

"I love this place! Carl is great, and is so knowledgeable. He is single-handedly helping ease my back pain through his programming! It’s by far the best personal training experience I have ever had, and was a great start for someone who has never lifted a barbell before. Whether you are an experienced lifter, or someone who is looking to learn, I highly suggest checking it out and signing up for personal training."
