HOW IT ALL STARTED
Lift Athletics started with a simple idea: create a better place to train in Cagayan de Oro.
Before we opened our doors, we ran into the same problems every gym goer here knows. Crowded floors, not enough equipment, and very little guidance once you walked in. We knew CDO was full of motivated, hardworking people who wanted to get stronger and healthier. What was missing was a focused, well equipped space that felt welcoming and serious at the same time.
So in 2024 we built the gym we wanted to train in ourselves. We started with a modest space, the equipment that actually matters, and one clear goal: structured training, proper coaching and a community that looks after each other.
Since then we have grown through consistency and word of mouth. Today we train beginners, athletes and everyday people from all over Cagayan de Oro who simply want a reliable place to improve.
Our story is not about hype. It is about showing up, putting in the work, and helping our members do the same.
