Did you know that the sport of Olympic Weightlifting is one of the most popular sports worldwide! Additionally Olympic Weightlifters are considered the strongest men and women in the world! Lifting gracefully over 400 pounds in the Snatch and 500 pounds in the Clean & Jerk!

The sport is a competition in two types of lifts: the Snatch, in which competitors must lift the barbell over their heads from the floor in one continuous movement; and the Clean & Jerk, where competitors first “clean” the barbell from the floor to an intermediate position, “racking” the bar on the front of their shoulders, then “jerking” the barbell to a position above their head. Each lifter must compete in both lifts. The winner of a competition is determined by the total weight of his or her best Snatch, and best Clean & Jerk in the competition. Competitors compete in body-weight classes similar in concept to wrestlers and boxers.

Weightlifting is a sport of pure strength, speed, power, and finesse. The athletic ability of elite Olympic Weightlifters is often unrivaled compared to other forms of weight training. We here at The Point offer personal training to improve your lifting form. Take your Snatch and Clean & Jerk to the next level!

Classes are Thursday @ 6pm by appointment only - FREE for members..
