Olympic / Powerlifting

Auburn University Campus Recreation is excited to introduce Olympic lifting and powerlifting in our new, state-of-the-art facility. The entrance is located in the southeast corner of the recreation center facing Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum.  This facility comes complete with four Olympic lifting platforms with full racks, specialty barbells, bumper plates, chalk, jerk table, and more. This is a monitored, controlled space where members who meet specific criteria may perform Olympic and power lifts and reserve their training space and time in advance.

Members of the Recreation and Wellness Center that have a sound background in Olympic lifting and/or powerlifting are encouraged to test out and utilize the new facility. Members may reserve platforms up to three times per week, seven days in advance.
