The exclusive home of Texas A&M Weightlifting. Eight dedicated platforms, ten Eleiko bars and a USA Weightlifting sanctioned meet run on our own floor. Snatch and Clean & Jerk in a facility built for it, whether it is your first time lifting or you are training for a meet.

A facility built for the lifts

Most gyms tolerate Olympic weightlifting. A bar gets dropped, someone gives you a look, and you end up snatching in a corner on a rubber mat. Here you get eight dedicated platforms and weights that are meant to be dropped.

Sanctioned under USA Weightlifting and run on our own floor. We are the only facility in Bryan–College Station sanctioned under both USAW and USA Powerlifting.

Which means the platform you train on all year is the platform you compete on.

The main floor — platforms, racks and room to move.

Drop-ins are welcome, and there is no separate weightlifting fee — the platforms are included in every membership. See membership and pricing.

A tour takes about fifteen minutes — no pitch, no clipboard. We will show you the platforms, the bars and the blocks, and you can decide from there.
