The Fearless Athletics Olympic Weightlifting class (aka Iron Cathedral) is specifically focused on improving the Olympic lifts: the Snatch, and, the Clean & Jerk. Each class consists of a breakdown of movement to develop precise form, execution, speed and strength of these highly technical movements. The ultimate goal of the Olympic Weightlifting class is to improve explosive power generation, coordination and balance—all necessary skills to be successful in both CrossFit and general fitness.
Each class focuses on a specific lift and/or piece of the lift. Our small class sizes allow for customized, individual instruction to all participants. We utilize video and peer review on a daily basis-giving members instant feedback on their performance, lift-by-lift.
For those interested in further developing their Olympic lifts, we encourage our athletes to participate in regional Olympic Weightlifting meets. Our athletes have attended and enjoyed great success at the Pennsylvania State Championships, the Hookgrip Classic, East Coast Classic and more.
Olympic Weightlifting classes are available on both the Introductory and Advanced levels—perfect for any athlete with a basic understanding of the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk. Members seeking admission to the Advanced Olympic Weightlifting class must receive approval from our senior coaching staff.
