The mission of South Sound Weightlifting is to provide a method and place where men and women of all ages can improve their lives through the physically and mentally challenging sport of weightlifting.

South Sound Weightlifting is a weightlifting coaching and instruction gym where you receive professional and  personal coaching instruction and personal programming to help you become a better weightlifter. SSW uses the Russian weightlifter classification system to track long term proficiency and progress. We teach the Olympic lifts and programming to:

  • develop competitive weightlifters and Crossfitters

  • improve athletic performance in other sports

  • teach beginners how to lift properly


Learning the Olympic lifts is the hardest fun you've ever had!

Why train the O lifts??

Because it's the most fun, most effective, and hardest thing you can do in the gym!!


Studies show that Olympic weightlifting has the lowest injury rate of any organized sport! This is due to close supervision and  proper coaching.
Why training with the  Olympic lifts
makes sense


  • A world wide competitive sport with local, regional, national and world events

  • Not body size or age restrictive. Multiple size and age groups for both men and women.

  • Strength, conditioning, and functional improvement.

I'm a serious CrossFit athlete and a CF Level 1 Trainer.   Dave welcomes all CrossFit athletes and understands our needs and competitive goals.  He is an effective coach; his technical coaching and programming has helped me perform the Olympic lifts better.  He fosters a fun, positive, and safe training atmosphere, and his equipment is first class.  For anyone who wants to learn how to perform the Olympic lifts, I recommend SSW.
