About Deadlifts & Deathmetal
Deadlifts & Deathmetal is a private personal training studio in Preston for people who find typical gym culture off-putting and want something brutal but genuinely welcoming. Founded by coach Elissa, the studio swaps egos and bland playlists for tailored strength coaching, individual attention and, true to the name, a soundtrack with a bit more edge.
Training here is built around semi-private personal training, where clients work to individualised programming under an expert coach rather than following a generic class. The emphasis is on fixing weaknesses, refining technique and supporting the whole picture - including diet, sleep and stress - so progress is sustainable rather than punishing.
Clients describe a space free of judgement and "better than you" attitudes, where coaching is kind, informed and genuinely invested in their success. For those who can't make it in person, online coaching and nutrition programs extend the same tailored approach remotely. With a strong reputation and a noted waitlist, Deadlifts & Deathmetal offers Preston a refreshingly different strength-training home for lifters who want to be pushed hard and supported well.
