We know that exposure to weightlifting can motivate otherwise sedentary kids to get up and move. All shapes, sizes, genders, ages and cultures find weightlifting rewarding. We believe that exposure to the sport at an early age offers fitness and health alternatives that set habits for life; particularly for those that don’t have the size, shape or inclination to excel in traditional high school sports.
