You’re showing up to train, working hard, and staying consistent. That’s already a win. If you’re looking to take your training to another level—physically and mentally—Olympic weightlifting is a great next step.
At Ultra CrossFit, we’ve seen people grow stronger, move better, and feel more confident through this style of training in our group classes. Olympic weightlifting builds real, usable strength. It sharpens your focus. It helps you connect with your body in a completely new way.
Olympic weightlifting includes two movements: the snatch and the clean & jerk. Both lifts use the whole body and teach explosive power, coordination, and timing. These movements are fast, powerful, and precise. They challenge your strength and your focus, and they’re fun to learn.
They also help build full-body awareness. With every lift, you’re using your legs, hips, core, shoulders, and arms—all working together. Over time, this creates balanced, functional strength that carries over into everything you do.
Olympic weightlifting improves how you move, how you feel, and how you approach training.
The lifts reinforce good technique and posture. You train your body to move in alignment, which helps with everything from running to sitting at your desk.
Every lift teaches you to stay connected to your body. This improves your balance, strengthens your core, and helps prevent injury.
Each session gives you something to build on. You might add weight, smooth out your technique, or feel more confident under the bar. These small wins add up quickly.
The lifts require presence and focus. That mental switch-off from everything else is energising. Many people say Olympic lifting feels just as good for their head as it does for their body.
Olympic weightlifting is a skill, and like any skill, it starts with learning the basics. That’s why we’re running a 2 hour Olympic Weightlifting Seminar on May 10th at Ultra CrossFit. It’s designed for anyone (Members & Non-members)who’s ready to dive in, learn proper technique, and build strength from the ground up.
We teach step-by-step, with hands-on coaching and practical drills. You’ll learn how to move safely, lift with control, and grow your confidence with the barbell. The sessions are supportive, the vibe is encouraging, and every question is welcome.
By the end of the seminar, you’ll have a strong foundation of the Clean & Jerk and Snatch. You’ll understand how each movement works and how to keep progressing. You’ll feel more in tune with your body and more confident in your ability to train with purpose.
It’s also a great way to connect with others who are learning alongside you. The group energy keeps things motivating, and our coaches will be there to guide you through every step.
You can join the next seminar by reserving your spot now. If you’re curious about lifting but want to have a chat first, you’re welcome to book a Free No Sweat Intro. You’ll get to speak with a coach and talk through what you're looking to achieve.
