who we are
DC Weightlifting Club is a team of working professionals, in and around the District of Columbia, who are dedicated to and passionate about elevating the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. Our mission is to promote individual and team growth by advancing members to learn, compete, coach, and officiate at the highest levels they want to achieve.
DC Weightlifting Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit that is member operated. We foster development and competition in the sport at a local, regional, and national level.
Training
We provide programming and coaching to improve members’ technical skills through training and competition of the classic lifts: The Snatch and The Clean & Jerk. We host training 6 days a week, and each session has at least one coach on the floor to provide feedback. Our training space is an open, community-driven environment where we uplift and support each other as a team. Additionally, as a competition-focused club, we encourage our athletes to compete at all levels and provide coaching and meet support at local, national, and international events.
