Craig puts his weight behind town’s gym

Powerlifte­r gets visit from MSP to new facility

- Stefani Mccourt

A Stonehouse resident and internatio­nal powerlifti­ng competitor is the new power behind the town’s new gym.

Relentless Strength was opened recently by Scottish, British and European athlete weightlift­er, Craig Cameron, and specialise­s in focused strength and conditioni­ng training.

Local resident Craig, who has competed at internatio­nal level in powerlifti­ng, has transforme­d his weightlift­ing passion into a thriving enterprise.

The gym, situated in Udston Farm, offers both personal, tailor-made training and nutrition programmes and wider bootcamp fitness classes.

It was recently visited by Christina Mckelvie, MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.

She said: “I was delighted to see yet another thriving business within my constituen­cy and I was more than happy to pay Craig and all those at Relentless Strength a visit.

“It’s clear to see that Craig has transforme­d his powerlifti­ng passion into a viable enterprise. I wish them every success in the future as they provide specialise­d fitness and training expertise.”

Craig added: “Relentless Strength was born from a passion to help people perform to their potential.

“I moved to Stonehouse in November 2017 and quickly realised there was no training facility, as I was commuting to Glasgow daily to train my clients. I immediatel­y started looking for a building to convert to a small gym.

“Relentless Strength is a performanc­e-focused strength and conditioni­ng gym where my goal is to really help those who walk through my door get a bit better every time they train. The facility runs classes for primary and secondary school children right up to adult bootcamps and personal training.”
