BUILD POWER WITH OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING AT ATHENA PERFORMANCE
WHY OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING IS GREAT FOR WOMEN
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING IS AN INCREDIBLE WAY FOR WOMEN TO DEVELOP STRENGTH, POWER, COORDINATION AND MOBILITY. THE TWO MAIN LIFTS, THE SNATCH AND THE CLEAN AND JERK, TEACH YOU HOW TO MOVE YOUR BODY WITH CONTROL AND CONFIDENCE. THESE LIFTS HELP IMPROVE POSTURE, INCREASE FULL BODY STRENGTH AND BUILD A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT THAT BOOSTS SELF BELIEF BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE GYM.
FEEL STRONGER AND EMPOWERED
​
MANY WOMEN DISCOVER THAT WEIGHTLIFTING HELPS THEM FEEL STRONGER, MORE CAPABLE AND MORE CONNECTED TO THEIR FITNESS JOURNEY. IT IS A SKILL BASED FORM OF TRAINING THAT GROWS WITH YOU AND OFFERS ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE.
​
BEGINNER FRIENDLY WEIGHTLIFTING TEACHING FOR WOMEN
​
OUR OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING CLASSES ARE COMPLETELY BEGINNER FRIENDLY. WE TAKE TIME TO TEACH YOU THE FUNDAMENTALS OF EACH MOVEMENT USING SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL DRILLS. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO HOLD THE BAR, HOW TO POSITION YOUR FEET, HOW TO MOVE YOUR HIPS AND HOW TO LIFT WITH GOOD FORM.
​
WE BREAK DOWN EACH LIFT INTO MANAGEABLE STEPS SO YOU NEVER FEEL RUSHED OR OUT OF YOUR DEPTH. OUR COACHES PROVIDE CONSTANT FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT, ENSURING YOU ALWAYS FEEL SAFE AND CONFIDENT AS YOU LEARN. WHETHER YOU HAVE NEVER LIFTED BEFORE OR YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE, WE WILL HELP YOU PROGRESS AT A PACE THAT SUITS YOU.
COMMUNITY, CONFIDENCE AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS
​
ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS WOMEN JOIN ATHENA PERFORMANCE IS THE COMMUNITY FEEL. OUR MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGING, FRIENDLY AND MOTIVATED, WHICH CREATES A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME. WOMEN OF ALL AGES AND FITNESS LEVELS TRAIN TOGETHER, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND CELEBRATE EACH OTHER’S PROGRESS.
