Olympic weightlifting

Snatch. Clean and jerk. Coached right.

Olympic weightlifting is woven into our regular programming at Community Fitness Davis. You'll train the snatch and the clean and jerk under a coach's eye, scaled to your experience, as part of classes, not as a separate program you have to figure out alone.

Getting Started

Coached, not just programmed

The Olympic lifts are technical, and technique is everything. That's why every session that includes them is coach-led: your coach teaches the positions, watches your reps, and corrects your form in real time.

New to the lifts? You'll start light, with PVC pipe and empty barbells, and build from there. Experienced lifters get programming that pushes their numbers. Everyone trains the same lifts, each at their own level.

Why we lift Olympic style

  • Full-body power. No lifts build explosive strength like the snatch and clean and jerk.
  • Athleticism. Speed, coordination, and mobility that carry into every sport and daily life.
  • Constant progress. Technical lifts give you measurable skills to chase for years.
