WELCOME TO WEIGHTLIFTING ACT! 👋🏋️‍♀️

​Always wanted to try Olympic Weightlifting but aren't sure where to start? We've got you covered.
​Swipe through to see the 3 simple steps to getting on the platform here in the ACT. 👉

​📍 STEP 1: Find a Club. We have fantastic affiliated clubs across the region filled with expert coaches ready to teach you the Sn**ch and the Clean & Jerk from scratch. Check the link in our bio for the full directory!

If you're interested, please send through an email outlining what you feel you can bring to the committee and the weightlifting community. 📧💪
