Weightlifters, fitness fanatics, and anyone who’s ever stared at a barbell and thought, “One day…”—that day is now.
We’re kicking off a brand new Weightlifting Class Cycle, and it’s tailor-made to help you move better, lift heavier, and feel more powerful than ever. Whether you're chasing your first technically sound clean and jerk or refining your split jerk like you're headed to the Olympic trials, this cycle is for you.
The split jerk is like the mic drop of Olympic lifting. It’s explosive, precise, and demands serious coordination. We’ll break it down, build it up, and drill it until you feel stable, confident, and efficient under heavy loads.
You’ll be focusing on:
Foot placement and timing
Proper dip/drive mechanics
Overhead lockout confidence
Recovery positioning
Whether you’ve been power jerking everything or just feel like Bambi on ice in the split, we’ve got you.
This is the meat and potatoes of Olympic lifting—and we’re about to serve up something delicious. You’ll be dialing in technique on the clean (hello, speed through the middle!) and sharpening your ability to transfer that power seamlessly into the jerk.
Expect:
Position-focused drills
Pause cleans and jerk variations
Complexes that develop bar path awareness and speed
LOTS of reps with intention
Think of this as your movement “tune-up” that also builds horsepower.
Because if your midline is soft or your overhead position collapses under pressure—guess what? That beautiful lift turns into a garage sale. So, we’re locking down the trunk and building the kind of shoulder and core endurance that makes holding a barbell overhead feel almost easy.
We’ll build stamina with:
Overhead holds and walks
Tempo and isometric core work
Rotational stability training
Controlled fatigue-based finishers
This won’t just help you in Olympic lifting—it’ll translate to better metcons, stronger posture, and more confidence under load.
Lifters chasing better technique and consistency
Athletes looking to improve Olympic lifts inside metcons
Anyone who wants to get stronger, more explosive, and more technically sound
You do not have to be an elite lifter to benefit—just bring your willingness to learn, move, and put in the reps.
This cycle is your opportunity to get dialed in, stronger, and more confident in some of the most technical and rewarding lifts out there. Classes are structured to support ALL skill levels, so don’t wait until you're "ready"—show up and get ready with us.
