Elliott shows that's how we roll at Neilside
- Neilside Barbell's Top Female lifter.
- Always cheerful, Santa has risen at amazing speed to be the top 60kg lifter in the GPC powerlifing federation.

- Neilside Barbell's bench press expert.
- AJ is one of the World's greatest bench pressers. Truly a man who shows no fear, and has handled more weight in a bench press than most people will ever squat.
- More than just a bench specialist, AJ, competes in full power meets with great success.
Bodypower 2014 - 240kg Raw bench from Neil Spence
Katana320-1 from Neil Spence
- Newest member of the pack, but has the heart of a Lion.
- Former competitive bodybuilder, he has changed to Powerlifting and has taken to the powerlifting stage with a storm.
- Within his first 16 weeks, he qualified, smashed his own PB's, and became the 140kg class british bench press champion.
- One of the most knowledgeable and approachable powerlifters in the Midlands.
- He has an unsurpassed knowledge, and wealth of experience, about powerlifting, and is not afraid to say what needs to be said about lifting.
- To Quote Neil Spence, "If there is one person that I would want in my corner at a Powerlifting competition, or one person spotting me whilst I went for a big lift, it would be Sean."
- Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
- Previously a champion BAWLA powerlifter, Shaggy has not competed for many years, but has instead concentrated on coaching fitness.
- Bitten by the Powerlifting Bug again, he has joined the Neilside team, and is keen to return to the competitive platform in 2015.
- Catherine practising the deadlift "stamp your feet down, like you are crushing down the rubbish in a wheelie bin" technique.".
- Probably the most important member, and unsung hero!
- Without her support none of this would have been possible.
