Culture
Everyone who walks into Eugene Weightlifting is treated with kindness and respect. All ages, all levels, all bodies are welcome here. We cheer loud, coach with patience, and celebrate every win, big or small. No division, no judgment—just a fun, energetic space where you’re supported from your first lift to your next PR.
Training Systems
Individualized protocols designed for unique goals. We offer in-depth technical coaching in the Olympic lifts alongside progressively structured training programs built towards maximizing health and strength. We believe in a holistic approach to movement that focuses on finding an enjoyable style of training for everybody. Online programs and remote-coaching options are available.
Open Gym Access
Train with the team, or feel free to utilize our professional-grade platforms, plates, and barbells for self-directed training sessions.
We aim to have a space where people can train regardless of their income level or schedule. Flexible payment and scheduling options are available to anyone who needs them. Do not hesitate to inquire.
Competition Preparation
Peaking cycles, meet strategy, and precise attempt selection focused on maximizing your numbers on the platform when it counts most.
Being veteran competitors in the Oregon Weightlifting community ourselves, we are always happy to travel the state to provide backroom support to our athletes on meet day.
GYM PRICES
Nobody should be unable to train because they can't currently afford the gym.
Our typical monthly membership rates range from $75 - $150 depending on how often someone wants to be training, their individual programming needs, and whether or not they require off-hours gym access. However, we are also happy to offer sliding-scale payment options for those who may require a lower monthly rate in order to train.
Feel free to inquire below via phone or email to discuss membership options, or just show up to the gym during open hours and talk with us - first session is free if you're considering joining.
