TWO Team GB weightlifters in training for the Rio Olympics passed on some tips in a Taunton gym.
And several local pumpers were so inspired by Sonny Webster and Gareth Evans that they lifted personal bests.
The event, at CrossFit Taunton, off Bindon Road, also raised around £460 for Help for Heroes.
Gym owner Pete Howe said: "Sonny and Gareth are going round the country doing exhibitions to increase the popularity of Olympic weightlifting and raising money for Help for Heroes at the same time.
"Around 20 people turned up to take part in the event and they all thoroughly enjoyed it - there was a great atmosphere.
"Many members recorded personal best lifts."
