CFTC LIFT

Get. Strong.

Metabolism slowing? Fighting muscle loss that comes with age? Concerned about bone health as you age?

All these concerns can be met by committing to a regular strength training program.

Strength training meets small group coaching.


CFTC LIFT prepares participants to gain strength through improving the Olympic weightlifting movements of the Clean & Jerk and the Snatch. In addition, each class now includes a powerlifting movement (squat, deadlift or press) to build overall strength.


Whether you have never touched a barbell or are a veteran, we will work on technique from the ground up and the small class size will meet you where you are in your abilities.


The next 4-week session is led by a Certified CrossFit Coach.

We hope you can join us!

  • The standard CFTC group class strives to create general physical preparedness, and these classes are created for everyone. With weightlifting, however, we are all starting at a different place in our abilities, mobility, and strength numbers. Each CFTC Barbell Club session will be led by a CrossFit certified coach with programs created with USAW competitions in mind. Several of our staff have their USAW L1 and L2 credential. Each week will have enough time and small classes to allow for video review and adjusting the focus of the day if needed to focus on what you need as an athlete.

  • CFTC LIFT will program on 4-6-week cycles. This allows us to benchmark the major lifts at the end of the cycle so that we can measure progress more effectively. It can be a grind to show up every week and feel like you’re doing the same thing every time. With 4-6 week cycles, it also allows us to add variance to the programming with a specific programming focus for 4-6 weeks.

  • As CFTC LIFT grows, we will invest in dedicated equipment needed for the programming and technique drills.

    We will continue to improve the equipment available, and the more people who show up, the faster we can make these changes.
