Hackney Weightlifting Club, established in 1924, is a renowned Olympic weightlifting club located in East London. With a rich history and a track record of achievements, the club prides itself on offering a unique coaching experience to individuals of all levels, from complete beginners to competitive lifters.

The coaching team at Hackney Weightlifting Club consists of British Weight Lifting Level 2 Coaches and Technical Officials. They provide expert guidance and training in Olympic weightlifting and strength training. Olympic weightlifting focuses on two dynamic lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk, which require speed and mobility. Strength training, on the other hand, covers a wide range of exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and presses, catering to individuals looking to improve their strength, athletic performance, or overall well-being.

The club offers various coaching options to cater to different needs. Olympic weightlifting group training is available on a pay-as-you-go basis or through a monthly contract, with two or three sessions per week. Remote video coaching is also an option for those who prefer to train from the comfort of their own home. For individuals looking for more personal attention, the club offers one-on-one personal training sessions in Olympic weightlifting or strength training.

Additionally, there is a dual personal training option available for two lifters training with one coach. The club can also accommodate other small group training sessions upon request.

Hackney Weightlifting Club has a comprehensive timetable that includes a variety of training options throughout the week. From Olympic weightlifting and strength circuits to intro classes for women and beginners, there are options available for individuals at all skill levels. The timetable also includes specific sessions for youth strength and conditioning.

To ensure progress and growth, the club conducts gradings and iron sessions, providing opportunities for individuals to test their skills and measure their improvement over time. The experienced coaching staff at Hackney Weightlifting Club is dedicated to nurturing talent and creating champions.
