Our Story

Lift Athletics Gym started with a simple idea: create a better place to train in Cagayan de Oro.

Before we opened our doors, we experienced the same challenges many gym-goers faced — crowded spaces, limited equipment, and little guidance. We knew Cagayan de Oro had motivated, hardworking people who wanted to improve their strength, health, and performance. What was missing was a focused, well-equipped training environment that felt welcoming and serious at the same time.

So in 2024, we built the kind of gym we would personally want to train in. We began with a modest space, essential equipment, and a clear goal: provide structured training, proper coaching, and a supportive community.

Over time, Lift Athletics Gym grew through consistency and word of mouth. Today, we continue to serve beginners, athletes, and everyday individuals across Cagayan de Oro who simply want a reliable place to train and improve.

Our story isn’t about hype — it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and helping our members do the same.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to build more than athletes — we build a fitness community in CDO that is inclusive, accountable, and relentlessly focused on growth.

We believe that access to expert coaching and a well-equipped training environment shouldn’t be reserved for elite athletes. Whether you’re a working professional looking to stay active or a competitive fighter preparing for your next bout, you deserve the same level of care, structure, and guidance.

Our long-term vision is to be the anchor of health and fitness culture in Cagayan de Oro — a space where generations of CDO residents build strength, discipline, and confidence that extends beyond the gym floor.

What Makes Us Different

A lot of gyms offer equipment. We offer direction. Here’s what sets Lift Athletics apart from the rest.

A Coaching-First Environment

Every program at Lift Athletics is built by coaches, not algorithms. Our trainers don’t hand you a generic routine and walk away — they observe, adjust, and hold you accountable throughout your entire training journey. Personal coaching is at the core of everything we do.

Serious Training for Every Level

From structured strength training in Cagayan de Oro to technical boxing training and Muay Thai in CDO, our programs are designed with progression in mind. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fitness. We believe in programs that evolve as you do.

Our strength and conditioning floor features full barbell setups, functional training rigs, and a striking zone for combat sports — all under one roof.

Progress With Support

With consistent coaching and support from our team, you’ll see improvement in your fitness, strength, and technique. Every session counts toward your goals.

Our Commitment to the CDO Fitness Community

Lift Athletics was built in CDO, for CDO. Our team lives here, trains here, and invests in the growth of this community year-round. We partner with local events, support amateur athletes, and create programs that are accessible to people at every stage of their fitness journey.

Being the best gym in Cagayan de Oro isn’t just about having the best equipment — it’s about showing up for our members consistently. That means maintaining high coaching standards, keeping our facility clean and safe, and listening to what our community needs from us.

We also recognize that fitness looks different for everyone. A 50-year-old recovering from injury has different needs than a 22-year-old training for competition. Our role is to meet every individual where they are and build from there.

Meet the team

Behind every rep, every round, and every milestone at Lift Athletics is a team of coaches who genuinely care about your outcome. Our trainers bring a combination of formal certifications, competitive backgrounds, and years of real-world coaching experience. They’re not just instructors — they’re training partners, mentors, and accountability coaches who invest in your long-term success inside and outside the gym.
