What is Weightlifting
Weightlifting, also known as Olympic lifting, revolves around two technical and powerful movements: the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk. More than just lifting heavy, weightlifting develops full-body strength, explosiveness, coordination, body awareness, speed, stability, mobility, and control. It’s a sport that builds not only physical power but also mental focus and precision.
What to expect at an Oly.LFT class?
A typical weightlifting session begins with mobility work, helping to identify any areas of tightness or limitation, particularly those that impact our ability to move well during the Olympic lifts. We then move into stability work, activating the muscles needed to control and maintain strong body positions from head to toe. From there, we progress into the technical elements of either the Clean & Jerk or Snatch, breaking down the lifts before performing them as variations or in full. The remainder of the session is dedicated to assistance exercises, such as back or front squats, deadlift variations, or pressing movements, all of which support and build strength for the main lifts. Accessory work is often included to target smaller muscle groups and enhance movement patterns, making us stronger and more efficient in the Olympic lifts. Every session is scalable to suit all levels - OLY.LFT gives you everything you need to build real strength, skill, and confidence that carries over beyond the platform.
What is Functional Fitness
Combining weightlifting, bodyweight training, and conditioning into a powerful, full-body session. Designed to improve your overall fitness, strength, stamina, and mobility, these classes are built to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform with confidence in everyday life and sport.
What to expect at an Oly.FIT class?
Each class begins with a warm-up focused on getting the body moving and preparing you for the movements ahead, targeting the muscles and joints you’ll be using in the session. We then move into a skill or prep phase, which might include movement technique, progressions, or drills to support the conditioning element of the class. The main body of the session is a functional workout designed to test and build your strength, endurance, and resilience, using varied equipment and movement patterns. Some sessions will include a dedicated strength or power block, such as Olympic lifting variation, squats, deadlifts, or presses, while others integrate strength and conditioning into one dynamic workout. Every session is scalable to suit all levels - OLY.FIT gives you everything you need to build real-world fitness that lasts.
