We have two main coaching services on offer to the public here at St Birinus Weightlifting Club. Our group workshops and personal coaching.
Group Workshops
Our group workshops are broken down into two subsections, beginner and intermediate/ advanced. Our beginner workshops are aimed at those either completely new to the sport or just starting out. The intermediate/ advanced workshops are for those who have a good grasp of the technique but want to improve certain areas. Please see the table below for info on the two.

Personal Coaching
Private, 1 to 1 coaching either held at our Weightlifting centre or your local gym (distance and approval from the gym owner/ manager dependent).
We tailor our coaching services to suit your needs. If you are unsure of what you'd like to improve, we can make an assessment of your technique/ training and plan a session from there to focus on your weaknesses.
We can use bar tracking and slow-motion technologies to break down your technique to find your specific area of improvement(s).
Price: £40/ hour. Discounts if you'd like to bring a friend!
