Harrisburg Weightlifting Club

General information

This is our club. We are not big. We are not fancy. We are not bright and
shiny. We are not gimmicky. We are not imitators. We are original. We do
things our way. We are a family of people with a love for the barbell. We
are beginner lifters, we are elite lifters, we are masters lifters, we are
youth lifters, we are athletes, we are general lifting enthusiasts held
together by the bond of that barbell. We train, not just because we love
to, or want to, or have to, but because we need to. This is our club, and
there is no other like it.

 

Who We Are:

The Harrisburg Weightlifting Club in NC is made up of a diverse group of
dedicated Olympic-style weightlifters.  We are a competitive team dedicated
to expanding the sport of Olympic lifting in Harrisburg NC and beyond, and
always looking to expand our group and develop the next generation of
outstanding American weightlifters.

We follow and compete in events regulated by USA Weightlifting, the
governing body for the sport of Weightlifting in the Olympics.  With age
groups ranging from Schoolage (under age 17), Juniors (ages 18-20), Seniors
(ages 21 and up), and Masters (ages 35 and up), there are competition
levels for everyone.

Lifting competitions(meets) consist of the Snatch and Clean & Jerk, and are
judged by bodyweight class and gender. Competition levels range from local
meets and state championships, to National, International, World
Championships, and Olympic Games. Some colleges also have weightlifting
teams, and offer scholarships to high-caliber lifters.

Located by, and working in cooperation with Crossfit Harrisburg, we have
over 20 years in the Olympic Weightlifting and Health & Fitness industry.
We have the knowledge and experience to help you accomplish whatever goals
you have set for yourself.  Olympic lifting is, without question, one of
the most valuable types of training when it comes to developing overall
explosive power, strength, speed, fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment, and
jumping ability.  Whether you are a high school/middle school student,
college athlete, aspiring or professional athlete, the Olympic lifts can
help you develop that raw, functional strength needed for your individual
sport.

Our Vision:

The vision of the Harrisburg Weightlifting Club is to insure that each and
every member has every opportunity to succeed and grow. Our club is open to
anyone who aspires to learn the techniques of weightlifting. Whether you
want to be a competitive weightlifter, learn how to weight-lift to improve
athletic performance, or learn to weight-lift for general health and
fitness, we are here to help you achieve those goals.

Our training philosophy is centered on long-term, sustainable growth and
success as a weightlifter. We work with competitive weightlifters, amateur
and professional athletes, and general fitness enthusiasts in a fun,
energetic, and family-friendly atmosphere. We do all we can to give our
team members every chance to flourish in this sport. We accomplish this
through coaching, programming, outside team events, fundraising for travel
expenses, flexible gym access, and mentor-ship.

As a USA Weightlifting Club, we strive to do everything we can to grow the
Olympic sport of weightlifting in the United States. For that reason, we
hold our team members to a high standards of conduct both on and off the
competition platform.

Whether you want to compete, increase your athletic performance for other
sports, or simply get better at the lifts for your own enjoyment, we can
help accommodate your specific needs.  Whether you are already an advanced
lifter looking to join a club, or have never even picked up a barbell, we
are open to all. Come try us out!
