About Oxford Powersports

Proud heritage. Modern coaching. A community of strength.

From Morris Motors to Modern Day

Founded in 1964 as Morris Motors Weightlifting Club, Oxford Powersports has grown into one of the UK’s most respected strength training communities. Over the decades, we’ve trained champions, guided beginners, and built a culture where every lifter matters.

Training All Ages & Abilities

We are proud of our diverse membership here at OXP. We have people from all sorts of backgrounds and from all around the world. We also have a very good understanding of neurodiversity and inclusion is at the heart of what we do

Champions Built Here

Our coaches have developed national and international athletes across Olympic weightlifting. But success at Oxford Powersports isn’t just measured in medals — it’s seen in every member who lifts a little more, moves a little better, and feels more confident.
