Olympic Weightlifting 101:

Weightlifting 101 is designed to teach beginners proper form and technique of the Olympic lifts, The Snatch and The Clean & Jerk. We will break it down to the basics and take time to analyze and correct form so that you can perform these lifts safely and efficiently. Through a series of progressions over the 6 week period, our goal is to have you lifting confidently as you transition into the next step of your training whether it be CrossFit group classes or our next level of Olympic Weightlifting classes.

 

6 Weeks || 12 Sessions
The Weightlifting 101 class will meet 2x/week on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm and Saturdays at 9:00 am.

 

1 Coach || 8 Athletes
This course is limited to 8 clients per course to ensure everyone gets quality, semi-private coaching, and our coaches can focus on teaching instead of managing.
