Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
Lion’s Roar Barbell Club is a small but mighty group of competitive weightlifters. One of the few USAW clubs in the upstate, we have members from a wide variety of backgrounds. We’re a community dedicated to perfecting our technique and getting stronger, together.
Our team lifts during open gym times and during the dedicated weightlifting classes each week. We’re led by head coach James Page, who holds a USAW Level 2 certification and has years of enthusiastic, first-hand experience with the sport. He specializes in teaching people to move the barbell safely and efficiently by personalizing his cues based on an individual lifter’s needs, abilities and skill.
Where you train matters
Coaching that will teach you proper technique. Lifting buddies who can push you. Competitors to travel with. A facility with kilos and bars that spin. People who understand the importance of intra-workout gummy bears and relentless sarcasm. Come see why Lion’s Roar is different.
Coaching
Lift under an experienced eye and receive valuable coaching feedback. You’ll learn what the proper positions feel like and how to correct mistakes. Programming includes clear technique progressions and individualized accessory work.
TEAM
We train together, cheer on PRs and good fights, and travel together to compete in local and national meets.
Equipment
Members have access to an array of quality equipment, including five dedicated Eleiko platforms, Eleiko training and competition bars, kilo plates and a set of jerk and pulling blocks. We also strive to offer educational experiences by hosting seminars and in-house competitions.
