OLYJC

We don't focus on training our "athletes" so that they loose weight. Instead, We believe that that's a positive "side-effect" of "weightlifting". What is "weightlifting? When we say weightlifting, we mean Olympic Weightlifting. Yes, the Olympic sport. In a broad sense, weightlifting is similar to compound exercise, or strength training. While you shouldn't expect to snatch, clean and jerk from the get-go, expect to train how to deadlift, squat, pull, push a weighted barbell. This may sound intimidating, however, with my programs and guidance you will see more effective progress than running on treadmills and curling biceps in front of a mirror. On the other hand, weightlifting is not crossfitting. Expect heavy emphasis on techniques. Why? Without good foundations, you will reach your plateau quickly and will not progress. What else? Kettlebells. Track and Field. Bodyweight trainings. Mobility sessions. These will be our supplemental trainings tacked on to your weightlifting sessions. How do we measure progress? We tell our athletes not to worry about loosing weight. No weighing either. The only way to measure progress is by observing how your clothes fit (down the road) how you look in the mirror and how much weight you lift. All of our athletes are tasked to eat healthy (quality over quantity) and training consistently. What does it mean to train consistently? Train at least 3-4 times a week. Even if you were to train with us 1 - 2 a week, we can devise online programs for you to use on your own. For example, if we train on Mon and Fri, we will devise an online program so that you can train on your own on Wed. This is at no extra cost. Workout Buddy You can bring a workout buddy, at no cost on the days you train. We also hold boot camps on case by case basis. Where do we train? We can come to you, depending on several factors. We are located in Pentagon City. Also, we prefer that your gym has a squat rack and a barbell. If not, we can always alternate - once at your gym for a bodyweight training and another time at our gym for a weightlifting session. We can always find ways to make this work. For instance, we have an athlete in Clarendon. We train at four different locations: her gym, our gym, at a nearby park, and then at a local High School track. What should you expect ? We bring a lot of enthusiasm to the table. We are very demanding in that we expect all of our athletes to show up on time and take our training programs seriously (less talking, eating properly before and after each session, and using personal cell phone during a session is prohibited). We also expect our athletes to do online training sessions because they are critical elements to their progress. Preview? Find us at our website and FaceBook. We post training videos and post motivational quotes. Additionally, FaceBook is where we list "workout of the day". It is tailored to each client, of course. What now? Well, what's holding you back?
