Learn to Olympic Lift

Have you ever wanted to learn how to do Olympic lifting? 

Or maybe brush up on your current skills or go after a PR you can’t quite get just yet? Kirst’s weightlifting class is perfect for everyone. From someone who has never picked up a barbell to someone who is interested in competing in the sport.

About this class

We always start with a movement specific warm up, then we get right into the skill development portion. The skill development portion builds our technique and confidence with the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.

After we work on the technical side of things, we always finish with strength building, so either squatting or single leg strength movements. To close the class I like to bring in a bit of Yin yoga to allow our brains and bodies to switch gears and start the recovery process. All classes are Pre-registered, check with Mel!
