Robert King

I am an entrepreneur, writer, and coach. My current project has been focused on creating

and developing an online community for women called Women Who Lift Weights.

For the past 9 years I owned and operated Heavy Weights Training Center, a gym focused

on strength training, powerlifting, and body transformation. Most of my clients consisted

of women.

Coaching

I have a remarkably diverse background with regards to coaching. I was the Team Canada

Head Coach for the 2019 Masters Equipped World Championship that took place in South

Africa, the 2019 IPF World Open Championships in UAE Dubai, and the 2019 North American

Powerlifting Federation Championships in Costa Rica. I was also assistant coach for Team

Canada at the 2019 World Bench Press Championships that took place in Tokyo, Japan.

I have coached thousands of people from varying sports and fitness levels. My major

focus has been women’s fitness and bikini; recently, I have put more of my attention on

powerlifting and strength training.

Writing

I have had the pleasure of writing for some of the top fitness websites and magazines in

the world. Some of the magazines include Strong Fitness Magazine, Men’s Health, Women’s

Health, Inside Fitness, Muscle Insider, The PTDC, and Elite FTS. BigBenchas.com, T-Nation.com,

and Schwarzenegger.com are just a few of the websites.

Competing

I have a diverse background in strength sports, martial arts, bodybuilding, weightlifting,

and powerlifting. Currently, my focus has been competitive powerlifting. I have competed

in more than 50 powerlifting competitions and was selected to represent Team Canada

13 times.

My best accomplishments on the Platform are:

• five-time World Medallist

• three-time Commonwealth Champion

• five-time NAPF (North American Powerlifting Champion)

• Pan Am Champion

• Commonwealth Deadlift Record Holder and National Record Holder

• Multiple Time Canadian National Champion

In June of 2018 I had a total hip replacement. A year and a half later, in October 2019, I

competed at the IPF Equipped Masters Worlds Championship in South Africa where I was

also the Head Coach for Team Canada. I took home three World’s medals that included a

bronze in squat, bronze in deadlift, and bronze for overall. It was a lifetime achievement

to get on the World’s Overall Podium.
