DENNISE BACOLAS

STRENGTH COACH / NATIONAL POWERLIFTER / MEET DIRECTOR

OWNER OF UNITED IN STRENGTH

When I lost 30KG, I knew I wanted to be a Personal Trainer. I quickly realised just how harmful the information was on the internet to lose weight and I wanted to show people that it is possible to lose weight without being restrictive and spending your whole life in the gym.

Working on improving my relationship with food, the gym and myself, I stumbled across Powerlifting. I instantly fell in love with the sport. I have competed in 4 Novice Meets and 3 Sanctioned Meets under the Australian Powerlifting League (APL), where I came 1st in my weight-class at two meets and 2nd place at my 3rd. I have competed at a National-level at APL Nationals in 2022, winning bronze in the Juniors category and APL Nationals 2023.

I believe everyone deserves to be, and feel, strong and I created United in Strength with that at the forefront. Delving into strength training positively changed my life and I’m so glad to be part of this sport. I am now a Meet Director for the Australian Powerlifting League (APL) in Adelaide, South Australia.
