An Individual Sport in a Team Environment
On the competition platform it is you in the spotlight, but with Mach 1 you have a whole team behind you!

The inclusive and supportive Mach 1 barbell community has been developed through our availability to various training styles accommodating to any level athlete. With weekly practices, and daily coaching through the trainerize app, the outcomes are limitless. Not only will you gain support, guidance, and allies within the sport, but you will gain long lasting friendships!

Coaching Philosophy
Putting the Athlete Back into Weightlifters
We, the coaches at Mach 1 Barbell, define ourselves as strength and conditioning coaches with a passion for the sport of weightlifting with an expertise in movement science and corrective exercise. The weightlifting programs we devise are not only meant to peak you for any event or milestone you are looking to achieve, but also to optimize your movement patterns in order to decrease risk of injury and increase performance as an overall athlete, not just a weightlifter.
Our programs are built on the results of an in depth, 56 point, movement assessment we conduct with every client. After implementing appropriate corrective exercises, we develop training programs that include a variety of movements to promote muscular balance, technical efficiency, and overall progress.
The Mach 1 Method: Experiences our Athletes Have
Intro to Weightlifting
Learn the traditional weightlifting movements:
Snatch, Clean, and the Jerk
The Intro to Weightlifting Class is an 8 week course that will progress you through the necessary steps toward learning the lifts, in addition to physically preparing you to complete them safely. Enrollment for new 8 week cycles are open, meaning you can start your weightlifting journey at any time!
Weightlifting is a technique demanding sport, and 8 weeks is not enough time for you to become an expert; however, by the end of the course you should expect to be competent and experienced enough to participate in classes that utilize these movements, and understand the terminology used in weightlifting.
​
Each class will have up to 3 coaches present, all with Level 2 USA Weightlifting coach certifications, and at least two years of competitive weightlifting experience.
​
Weightlifting is an extremely rewarding skill to learn! The physical demands, mobility, stability, and strength, combined with the diligence and patience needed make for a very fulfilling journey that we'd love the opportunity to guide you through!
