About Hudson Valley Powerlifting

Built by lifters, for lifters. After years of training in commercial gyms—waiting for equipment, dealing with restrictions, and lacking community—we created the gym we always wanted.

HVPL is the Hudson Valley's only dedicated powerlifting facility with competition-grade equipment. 24/7 access means you train on your schedule. Located in Highland, NY, we serve lifters across Ulster and Dutchess counties.
