About LIFTED

LIFTED is an innovative strength-training concept offering 45-minute group sessions in a motivating, supportive environment. Our studios make strength training accessible, effective, and measurable – for people who want to get stronger but don’t feel at home in traditional gyms. Progress is tracked digitally, while our trainers provide individualized coaching.
