Lionheart Weightlifting is a dedicated Olympic weightlifting gym in St. Louis. This is a facility built around the snatch and the clean & jerk, coached by people who’ve competed and coached at the national and international level.

FOR BEGINNERS
Never lifted before?
You’re who this gym was built for.

Most people who walk through our door have never done a proper snatch. Some have never picked up a barbell. That’s normal here. We break the lifts down into their parts and scale to what your body is currently capable of.

Lionheart weightlifting is the best weightlifting gym in St. Louis. It has 24/7 open gym access, competition-grade equipment, racks, and amazing platforms. The expert coaches are so friendly and welcoming. They’re so willing to coach anyone at any level with their Beginner and Advanced level classes. The location is great and the facility is very clean. My favorite gym for Olympic weightlifting!

The only gym like it in STL. Olympic lifts are hard to learn on your own, and most personal trainers only know the basics. I thought my form was good coming in having lifted for sports all my life, glad to be corrected by professionals who are actually in the pro space for Olympic weightlifting!

I just started attending Lionheart Weightlifting and so far I really like it. The coaches are professional, very nice and helpful. They really offer a lot of technique support. If you need help with lifting this place is the real deal.
