Olympic Weightlifting

Weightlifting, commonly called “Olympic Weightlifting” is defined by two main movement patterns: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Both of these lifts are extremely technical and offer a high degree of difficulty. Beginners start with a PVC pipe and high reps to learn the basic positions of each lift and gain technique experience. Our coaches’ top priority is safety and proficiency before moving on to weighted lifts.

Each class will have different exercises to increase strength, mobility and technique with both of these lifts. Different types of squats and dead-lifts are covered to gain overall strength that aid in both of the lifts as well. This class is highly suggested for people that enjoy barbell weightlifting and are looking for a challenge! It also a phenomenal option for athletes to build strength, power and explosiveness.
