Our Philosophy

What Is Olympic Weightlifting?

Olympic weightlifting is a strength sport focused on two explosive barbell movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk. (Lifts also commonly used in Crossfit) Unlike general strength training, Olympic lifting requires precision, power, and technique, making it one of the most effective ways to build total-body strength, speed, and mobility. We specialize in clean and jerk training, snatch technique, and strength and conditioning designed to help you lift confidently and safely. Join our Olympic lifting community today and take your training to the next level. Remote coaching is available.

Why Methods Weightlifting?

They’re deeply committed to teaching everyone the right technique, building confidence, and making sure you actually have fun while getting stronger. Whether you’re brand new to the barbell or looking to take your lifting to the next level, Matt and Tori create an environment where you feel supported, challenged, and excited to keep coming back.
