2023-2024 Athletes

Welcome to the home of Grand Valley State University's CrossFit, Powerlifting, and Olympic Weightlifting team! This community is designed for individuals who are passionate about training at a competitive level while prioritizing safety and support.

On the CrossFit side, our team engages in high-intensity workouts combining weightlifting, cardio, and functional movements. This approach builds strength and enhances overall fitness and athletic performance. Participants can expect varied and challenging workouts that push them to achieve their personal best while having a fun time with teammates by their side!

Our Powerlifting team focuses on the three main lifts—squat, bench press, and deadlift—providing members with expert coaching and structured training programs to help them excel in competitions. The camaraderie among team members fosters a motivating atmosphere where athletes can share tips, strategies, and encouragement.

For those interested in Olympic Weightlifting, our team incorporates the snatch and clean & jerk into training sessions. Members work together to improve their skills, and techniques while setting goals over the year. This is a great opportunity to learn from peers, share experiences, and prepare for competitions while enhancing your lifting abilities.

Together, these teams create a vibrant and inclusive environment where members can thrive, learn from one another, and reach their full potential. Whether you're an experienced lifter or new to the sport, our community is here to support your journey every step of the way.
