About Our Olympic Weightlifting Classes

Whether you are someone who is completely new to the Olympic lifts, or have done them before but lack confidence that you are practising the proper technique or if you are looking for regular coaching and programming to dramatically improve your numbers and feel confident in your technique, our Olympic Weightlifting classes are for everyone!
In an Olympic lifting class, you will learn the key movement patterns, proper form, and techniques of the Olympic lifts from an Olympic weightlifting coach and get plenty of practice in a safe and supportive environment.
This is the option for you if:
- You want to learn how to successfully perform the Olympic lifts from scratch
- You want to be sure you are doing the lifts safely and correctly.
- You want to improve your technique and/or increase your strength in the Olympic lifts
- You feel “stuck” at a particular weight or have plateaued in your progress.
Our Olympic Lifting courses led by experienced trainers will provide you with all the tools you need to achieve your lifting goals.
If you are a beginner then you’ll need to take our beginners courses to learn the basic Olympic Lifts.
If you already know the lifts and want to focus on improving your technique and improve your fitness then book your space today!
What Is Involved In a Olympic Weightlifting Class?
You will work on olympic weightlifting technique, strength, power and muscle conditioning.
Classes are programmed and led by an experienced coach. We start with technique drills, move onto the classical lifts and finish with strength work and/or a muscular conditioning circuit.
We hold our own club competitions as well as taking our lifters to competitions around the region. It’s not compulsory but everyone who tries competitive weightlifting has a great time, even if they are a little nervous!
Crossfitters are welcome! If you are already doing the Olympic lifts and want to improve, then this is the right class for you.
What Are The Benefits Of Olympic Weightlifting?
Olympic weightlifting is one of the best methods for building muscle and strength. By following a well-designed programme and employing the correct technique, it’s also one of the healthiest and safest ways to maintain your fitness.
Here are some key benefits:
- Muscle and Strength Building: Engaging in compound exercises such as squats, snatch, clean and jerk work multiple muscle groups which can lead to significant strength gains.
- Health and Safety: With proper technique and guidance, olympic weightlifting is a safe way to enhance your physical health.
- Versatility: Suitable for all levels and weight classes, making it accessible to everyone.
- Personal Achievement: Olympic weightlifting is a personal challenge. Regardless of the weight, if it’s a challenge for you, achieving your lift brings a sense of pride and accomplishment.
- Grow Your Confidence: As you get physically stronger and master new weightlifting techniques and skills, this will build your confidence and allow you to continue improving your overall fitness levels.
