Frequently asked questions
Most people who contact us have never done Olympic weightlifting before. These are the questions they ask first.
-
No. Most people who walk in here have never touched a barbell. Every new lifter starts with a free intro session where we teach the basics from the ground up. You don't need to get in shape first, and you don't need to know anything about the lifts.
-
We're a specialty Olympic weightlifting facility, not a traditional commercial gym — built around platforms and barbells, with coaching at the center of what we do.
Experienced lifters are welcome to drop in. If you're new to the lifts, training happens through membership: coached sessions during our posted hours, with select tiers also including 24-hour access.
-
Yes — it's a big part of what we do. We coach youth athletes, high school lifters preparing for FHSAA competition, and athletes from other sports who use the lifts to get stronger and more explosive.
Under proper coaching, weightlifting is one of the safest strength sports for young athletes. We've coached lifters to state and national level since 2015.
-
Your first session is a movement assessment, not a workout. Coach Carl talks through your injury history, training background, goals, and experience level, then takes you through a physical movement assessment.
That's how we figure out whether we're a good fit and what your starting point should be. Nothing to buy, nothing to sign.
-
No. We coach adults across a wide range of ages and starting points. The lifts get scaled to whatever you can do on day one, and the technical work is the same whether you're 15 or 55.
Showing up unfit is normal. That's what the coaching is for.
-
Coached hours shift seasonally. We're currently running Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 3:30–7:00 PM, and Saturday, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. Closed Wednesday and Sunday. Personal Training is by appointment.
Members with 24-hour access can train outside those hours anytime. If it's been a while, call to confirm current hours: (561) 600-7179.
-
Memberships run $150–$200 per month depending on the tier, including whether it includes 24-hour access or individualized programming.
We'll walk through the options at your intro session — no pressure and nothing to sign on a first visit.
-
Athletic clothes you can move in, and flat-soled shoes. You don't need weightlifting shoes to start but they are a great and important piece of equipment for this sport.
Bring water and good energy.
We have everything else.
