Here's Gold Medalist and National Champion Russ Leabch's final clean and jerk (93kg) which capped off a perfect 6 good lifts for 6 attempts. Russ has been training with us for the last six months and we are proud and happy to have been a part of his success. Congratulations again Russ!
Unfortunately, it seems the First Rule of Fight Club has become the First Rule of the Flatirons Weightlifting Club...no one is talking about it. Or at least not enough folks are talking about it.
Yes, we are based in the Flatirons Crossfit facility and yes we provide coaching services to Crossfit members, but you don't have to join Crossfit to lift here.
We are truly lucky to have such a great space to work in and we certainly encourage anyone interested in Crossfit to talk to Tim about joining, but if you are only interested in weightlifting, you can join Weightlifting Club "a la carte".
We are Boulder's premier Olympic Weightlifting club. Take advantage of our expert, on-site coaching and the use of top notch Eleiko, Werk San and York equipment. We also have personal training and personal program design available for additional fees. Feel free to stop in and check out the facility.
Weightlifting Club hours are from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday. Mid-afternoons and weekends are by appointment. Take your sports performance or Olympic weightlifting to the next level. You can sign up via Pay Pal below.
Congrats to Russ Leabch who made all six of his attempts and secured the Gold Medal in the 85kg class, 60-64 age group. Russ made a 71kg snatch and 93kg clean and jerk for 164kg total.
Coach David Miller brings home the Silver medal in the 77kg weight class, 40-44 age group with a 85kg snatch and 108kg clean and jerk for a 193kg total.

Thank you for allowing me to train with you this summer. Being a
football player at a Division 1 level I obviously want the best
workout available to increase my performance. I have been doing
conventional weightlifting for since I can remember and recently have
not felt like it was increasing my performance as it should. Coming to
Crossfit has been amazing. The high intensity workouts have made me
more mentally tough, physically stronger, and able to endure more.
Thank you for bringing me in, I believe in Crossfit all the way.

My daughter and I started Crossfit 1 month ago, I already feel an increased sense of strength. I've always been physically active, growing up as a competitive gymnast and lately an avid runner. Tim's ability to push me through the mental and physical boundaries of each and every Crossfit class is incredible. I have also been participating in the Kettlebell program and Tim has made it constantly challenging, exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. I love the fact that he is always on the lookout for proper form and is quick to correct you if need be. He continues to push us to work hard, use good form, and never forgetting to tell us that we are doing a good job. Thanks for the motivation, support and the extremely challenging workouts.
