OUR APPROACH TO TEACHING WEIGHTLIFTING IS TRULY DIFFERENT, AND BETTER, BECAUSE OF OUR INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH, OUR EQUIPMENT AND OUR HEAD COACH
Weightlifting can be a seriously challenging activity, but with the right approach it can also be incredibly rewarding. At our weightlifting workshops, we take a customized approach to training that takes into account each individual’s unique physical and mental health, athletic background, and goals. This approach allows us to support each lifter in developing their strength, power, flexibility, and technical skill in a way that is methodical, coordinated, and fully integrated.
Our weightlifting program is designed to develop three key areas of focus simultaneously: conditioning, mind control, and technical skill. Through a carefully structured and personalized program, we help lifters build the foundation they need to excel in each of these areas. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned weightlifter looking to take your performance to the next level, we have the expertise and the resources to help you succeed.
At the core of our approach is our head coach, whose experience, knowledge, and passion for weightlifting is unmatched. They work closely with each individual lifter to design a comprehensive program that is tailored specifically to their needs and goals. From building strength and power, to developing flexibility and technical skills, to cultivating a winning mindset, our weightlifting workshops provide the guidance and support needed to achieve success.
One thing that sets our workshops apart is our equipment. We use top-of-the-line gear that is designed to support proper form, technique, and safety. This helps our lifters train with confidence and focus, knowing they have the resources they need to perform at their best.
If you’re looking for a weightlifting program that is truly different and better, we invite you to join us at our weightlifting workshop. With our personalized approach, fully integrated system, and top-notch equipment, we’re confident you’ll find the support you need to take your weightlifting skills to the next level.

Our Head Coach, Artie Drechsler, is directly involved in all coaching. A self-coached former three-time Junior World Record Holder, he has had one of the longest high level coaching career’s in the sport’s history (he had his first National level coaching experience at the 1968 Sr. Nationals). Artie is the only coach in the NYC/LI area who has achieved USA Weightlifting’s highest coaching ranking – Senior International Coach and he teaches USAW Level 1 and 2 coaching courses. He is also a member of the USAW’s Hall of Fame and wrote the highly acclaimed Weightlifting Encyclopedia. You can see Artie’s CV here.

Join us at the Weightlifting Workshop – our truly best in class Weightlifting only facility. Train with athletes ranging from beginners to advanced, all united by a single purpose – to become better weightlifters and to support each other in doing that.
Please contact us to schedule a visit to our facility
Virtual Coaching – We offer virtual coaching services to a limited number of athletes, so that those who live too far away to travel to our facility on a regular basis can access our coaching. Anyone who does train with us online is invited to train at our facility whenever they are able, subject to the space available at the time.
While nothing can fully replace in-person coaching, today’s technologies enable virtual coaching to be quite effective – if you have a willingness to self-coach, use some measuring tools that we can suggest (and your progress will be even better if you have a training partner or relative who can help, with some guidance from us, to provide some real-time coaching).
Our virtual coaching includes:
- A program created specifically for you to develop your strength, technical skill and mental control
- Weekly review monitoring of your training results via video, the results you capture on our specially designed spreadsheet, and a weekly e-mail report you send to us.
- Our analysis and comments on the week that has just passed, and our suggestions for the week(s) to come

Fix My Problem – Sometimes you hit a sticking point, either in terms of a technique problem you can’t seem to fix, a strength exercise you can’t seem to improve in, or a personal record that has been elusive. Let us know what your problem is and we’ll see if we think we can help you overcome it (it’s rare that we can’t).”
We charge a flat fee for the assistance, depending on its nature, and guarantee success or your money back (if you actually carry out our prescription fully). Don’t give up without talking to us. We’ve been able to help countless numbers of lifters in these situations. If you are interested, please contact us for more details
Coach/Parent Mentoring –
We know that many coaches, and parents who are coaching a child, need various kinds of support from time to time. Perhaps they need some fresh ideas about a vexing coaching problem. We offer joint coach/athlete support as needed. Please contact us for further information.
Special Classes – We offer a variety of special classes for groups. For example, we might teach lacrosse players how increase their explosive power by learning to power clean, or Cross Fitters how to improve their snatches. These sessions generally work best when they are conducted over a period of several weeks, in small groups.

We are so confident that our coaching system will work for you that we offer the following guarantee. If you fully carry out the training plan we agree to and are not satisfied with the result, we will refund in full your most recent fee – no questions asked (although we would appreciate your knowing why you were not satisfied – so that we can improve our approach in the future).
We have worked with athletes from the complete beginner through World Champion/World Record Holder Level and have enjoyed working with them all. There are only three things we expect from the athletes we train: 1) dedication to consistent training, 2) willingness to apply the guidance that we provide, and, 3) respect and support for every other person in the program.
