About Us

Loch & Lift is an online strength and wellbeing community for women and non-binary students at the University of the Highlands and Islands.

Loch & Lift is an online strength and wellbeing community for women and non-binary students (trans-inclusive!) at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Our aim is to connect students from every campus across the Highlands and Islands who are interested in strength training, weightlifting, strongwoman-inspired fitness, or simply building confidence and resilience through movement.

We meet in our Discord forum, where members can:

  • Share their training progress and personal goals
  • Take part in online events, challenges, and Q&A sessions
  • Access supportive resources for beginners and experienced lifters alike
  • Connect with like-minded students in a welcoming, inclusive space

Whether you’re brand new to lifting or already passionate about strength sports, Loch & Lift is a space to learn, grow, and celebrate what your body can do together.

Membership:

Free for all UHI students

No experience or equipment required - just curiosity and a willingness to join the fun!
