A place for the dedicated, the relentless, the powerful, the motivated, the mentally and physically strong: get involved with the weightlifting community right here at Core24!
CWC is dedicated to promoting fun, safety, and self-improvement across the Power Lifts (squat/bench/deadlift) and Olympic lifts (snatch and clean & jerk). All skill levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced, and both men AND women are encouraged to plug into this welcoming strength training community!
Club access is exclusive to gym members. Members will have direct access to club coaches Mary Morton (National Level USAPL Powerlifter), Kristin Lander (National and International level Masters Olympic Weightlifter (USAW) and holder of 3 SC state records in the snatch, clean & jerk, and total) and Jarrad Holcombe (Crossfit level 1 certified). CWC hosts quarterly tests of strength, which are meant to be friendly competition events where we all push each other and have fun! We offer technique clinics to those of all levels that want to learn or improve their squat, bench, deadlift, snatch, clean, and jerk. Clinics will be put on at least 4x a year, typically in-between the quarterly events. A $10 reservation fee is required for the clinics; all proceeds go towards improving Core24 for future clinics and weightlifting events.
