Valhalla Powerlifting
About
Learn about our history, values, and the community that drives Luxembourg’s powerlifting movement.
OUR STORY
Valhalla Powerlifting Club was founded in 2025 by Jean Gengler, Gaston Parage (Former IPF President) and Joel Sauber (CEO of Elysium Gym) who wanted to build a community where lifters of all levels could train, learn, and grow together.
Within the Elysium Gym, a corner of 80 square meters is dedicated as powerlifting training space, equipped with the finest Eleiko, ATX, Rogue and Primal equipment.
Our name “Valhalla” represents the hall of warriors in Norse mythology – a place where the strongest gather. We believe every person who walks through our doors has the potential to become a warrior in their own right.
