• Improve in CrossFit
• Improve Balance & Co-ordination
• Burn Calories

What does Olympic Lifting involve? If you’ve done a bit of CrossFit before or visited a gym in the past, you may be familiar with the terms ‘Snatch’, ‘Clean’ and ‘Jerk’. If not, they aren’t as rude and insulting as they might sound, they are simply words to describe a series of technical movements used in Olympic lifting.

A Snatch involves lifting a barbell in one swift movement from the ground to up over the head. A Clean & Jerk meanwhile are generally combined to lift a barbell off the floor to your shoulder, and then straight up overhead.

These classes will teach you the techniques involved in performing these movements correctly, safely and for maximum benefit..
