Powerlifting
Coaching Index
Every month a panel of powerlifting coaches tells us whether their business is growing, holding steady, or shrinking.
Above 50, coaching businesses are growing. Below 50, they're shrinking.

Each index compares October 2026 with the month before. Clients canceling or pausing: lower is better.
What is the Powerlifting
Coaching Index?
What it measures
Coaches answer the same questions every month: new client inquiries, active paying clients, clients with a meet booked, business costs, what they charge new clients, clients outside their country, cancellations, and where they expect their business to be in twelve months.
How it's calculated
Each index counts every coach who is seeing growth, plus half of those seeing no change. 50 means no change. The headline averages client inquiries, active clients, and cancellations, the way purchasing managers' indexes are built.
Who answers
A panel of powerlifting coaches who sign up on this page. The survey runs from the 20th to the end of each month. Individual answers stay private; only the combined results are published.
