# Barbell Training & Dedicated Lifting

A dedicated lifting area in Tacoma with platforms and competition-level equipment for barbell work, Olympic lifting, and strength training.

## A Dedicated Lifting Area in South Tacoma

Train in a dedicated lifting area with platforms and competition-level bars and weights — separate from the group class floor.

Follow a coached plan, get technique help from experienced coaches, or bring your own programming to open gym. Beginners and experienced lifters are both welcome.

### What You Get

* A dedicated lifting area, separate from the class floor
