Our expert coaches specialise in helping athletes of all levels master the techniques and skills needed for safe and effective lifting, making this an ideal environment to learn, improve and excel.

​

Why Focus on Weightlifting and Olympic Lifting?

 

Weightlifting, and particularly Olympic lifting, is a fundamental component of CrossFit training. These lifts build explosive strength, enhance coordination, and improve overall athletic performance. The two main Olympic lifts – the snatch and the clean and jerk – are highly technical movements that engage multiple muscle groups, making them exceptional exercises for developing full-body strength, speed and power.

​

The Benefits of Olympic Lifting and Weightlifting at CrossFit 1066

​​

• Improved Strength and Power: Lifting weights improves muscle strength, power, and overall physical capability, which translates into better performance in all areas of fitness.

• Enhanced Athleticism: Olympic lifts require a combination of strength, speed, balance, and flexibility. Training these movements will improve your overall athletic ability and functional fitness.

• Better Coordination and Mobility: The dynamic nature of Olympic lifting develops coordination, balance, and range of motion, contributing to enhanced mobility and joint health.
