Learn olympic lifting technique from experienced olympic lifting coaches. Complete beginners are very welcome.
Olympic lifting is a fun and absorbing sport that will challenge you both physically and mentally. You’ll move better, become stronger and feel amazing!

Who should do Olympic Lifting for Beginners?
You are probably a complete beginner in olympic lifting. Or perhaps you have tried the clean & jerk or the snatch before, but you have not had sufficient training to feel confident with the techniques.
Real story: Holly was a complete beginner to olympic lifting – how did she get on?
You may have tried the olympic lifts in Crossfit or as part of your sport training. But you are struggling with your performance and want to learn the lifts properly in order to get a big performance improvement.
You need a course dedicated to teaching you correct and safe technique in the snatch, clean and jerk, so that you can feel confident executing and training these movements.
We’ll take you step by step through olympic lifting technique. The atmosphere in our classes is supportive and friendly. You’ll often be working in pairs or groups, helping each other out and encouraging each other to lift confidently.
This is a learning experience like no other! It’s intense, enjoyable and will make you feel incredible when you lift that bar over your head!
