Detroit Weightlifting is an Olympic Weightlifting training hall built by lifters for lifters. It is also home to The Detroit Weightlifting Club, the only club recognized by USA Weightlifting in the City.

Southeast Michigan’s weightlifting training facilities have always been located the in suburbs. Our mission is simple: To make Olympic Weightlifting accessible in the city of Detroit.

The gym’s hours, location, and membership options were designed for lifters that need fit training into life.

• Hours: 24/7 access means that you can train on your schedule.

• Location: Detroit Weightlifting is located in the heart of the City, easily accessible from any majoy freeway.

• Membership options: Whether you’re looking to drop-in, to join a weightlifting club, or need programming , Detroit Weightlifting has a membership option that will meet your needs.

We’d LOVE for Olympians to stop by and train. That said, “No,” you don’t have to be an Olympian to join Detroit Weightlifting.

Olympic Weightlifting refers to the style of lifting where athletes lift a barbell from the ground to overhead in one of two ways:

• The Snatch, where the lift is executed in one movement, and

• The Clean and Jerk, where the barbell travels from the ground to the lifter’s shoulders, and then from the shoulders to overhead.

Detroit Weightlifting’s only membership requirement is that you have some experience (Crossfit, high-school sports, The Olympics, etc.) with the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.

Unfortunately, we are not able to work with inexperienced lifters at this time.

Once you’ve signed up for a membership, you’ll have the option of adding House Programming or Custom Programming.

• House Programming: The official programming of the Detroit Weightlifting Club. With this option, you’ll be doing the same lifts, at approximately the same time, as every other member of the team.

• Custom Programing: Programming that’s built from the ground up, and tailored to an individual’s needs, by Head Coach Dr. Crystal Wrubel.

  Custom programming includes regular video analysis with personal feedback.
