Olympic / Powerlifting

This is a monitored, controlled space where members who meet specific criteria may perform Olympic and power lifts, and reserve their training space 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.
