Want your powerlifting community to feel heard and stay active? Collecting member feedback is the best way to improve your group and keep lifters engaged. Use these ready-to-go templates to make feedback simple, open, and effective.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Community feedback posts are essential for building trust and involvement in any group, especially in powerlifting where training styles, equipment, and goals can vary widely. When members are asked for their opinions, they feel valued and more connected to the community. This sense of ownership increases engagement and loyalty.
Open-ended feedback also surfaces ideas and pain points you may not see from the leadership perspective. Members often point out trends, needs, and resources that can directly shape better content, events, or policies. When you show that feedback leads to real changes, participation and satisfaction climb even higher.

Pick a template that matches your topic and post it in your community. Be specific about what feedback you want, and always follow up to acknowledge responses. Rotate between general and focused questions to keep things fresh. Summarize member suggestions in a follow-up post or use their ideas to launch new features, then thank everyone for contributing. This creates a feedback loop that keeps your powerlifting group thriving.
Since these templates work on all platforms, adapt them to your posting style. On forums, use bold or emojis for emphasis. On chat apps, keep questions concise. On social media, pair with a relevant image or poll to boost visibility. Always monitor replies and respond promptly to keep the conversation going.
You can customize the templates to ask members for their experiences and suggestions regarding squat rack usage, spotting protocols, and safety improvements specific to your facility. Use terminology like 'rack etiquette,' 'unracking procedures,' and 'collar requirements' to prompt knowledgeable responses from experienced lifters.
Leverage the templates to frame questions with specific details, such as 'Do you prefer aggressive or mild knurling on competition barbells?' or 'How do you feel about the current deadlift platform grip?' This encourages nuanced feedback from lifters who understand the impact of equipment variations on performance.
Absolutely. Adapt the templates to directly ask about experiences with past judging decisions, perceptions of red light/white light consistency, and whether members feel the current lift standards (like IPF squat depth or pause duration on bench) are being applied fairly.
Use industry-specific language and scenarios in your templates, such as 'Would you prefer our next gym programming cycle to focus on block periodization or stick with a linear progression model?' This engages members familiar with different training philosophies and helps inform your programming decisions.
Tailor the templates to ask for feedback on issues like 'three-person spotting during heavy bench attempts' or 'proper communication signals during squat walkouts.' Highlight the importance of feedback from seasoned members who have firsthand experience with heavy, near-maximal lifts.
Yes; modify the templates to include specific questions such as 'Do you feel the current access to calibrated plates and monolift stations meets your competition prep needs?' This ensures you receive targeted feedback from members training for sanctioned meets and serious lifting events.
