SA1 Olympic Lifting Center

Habits consistently and surround yourself with a supportive community, you will achieve long-term success.

At SA1 Olympic Lifting Centre, located in Swansea, we are dedicated to providing top-class coaching and a strong sense of community. Opened in 2011, SA1 has quickly become one of Wales' leading CrossFit affiliates and Weightlifting academies. From our humble beginnings in a small industrial space, we have grown and expanded to offer high-quality coaching to our members.

Our main focus is on Olympic weightlifting. We are a competitive team of lifters who participate in a variety of competitions, ranging from grassroots tournaments to British championships, Commonwealth Games, and the Olympic Games. All weightlifting sessions are coached, and our lifters follow training programmes planned by the British Weightlifting performance staff. We welcome all individuals to join our club, regardless of their age or experience level.

In addition to competitive weightlifting, we also offer weightlifting for recreation, health, and well-being. For those who are not interested in competing, we provide carefully planned training programmes to help individuals achieve their fitness and health goals. We believe that weightlifting is not just a sport, but a way to improve overall fitness and well-being.

At SA1, we offer opportunities for all members to become involved with coaching, officiating, and other volunteer roles in weightlifting. We have a development programme in place to educate and qualify members in these roles and to support their development within the sport.

Our coaching team consists of highly qualified individuals, including Rhod Thomas, who holds a Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Weightlifting and is a British Youth performance coach. Our trainers are dedicated to helping our members reach their full potential and provide personalised guidance and support throughout their fitness journey.

CrossFit is another major component of SA1 Olympic Lifting Centre. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning programme that has become the principal training method for many elite athletes worldwide. It focuses on constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. Whether you are a professional athlete or a beginner, our CrossFit programme is designed to be scalable and suitable for individuals of all fitness levels.

At SA1, we have created a communal environment where individuals can come together to push their limits and achieve their fitness goals. We strongly believe that by surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and practising healthy habits consistently, you can make fitness a part of your lifestyle.
