About Us

For over 20 years, Central Maryland Gold Olympic Weightlifting has operated as a tax-exempt organization, supporting the sport of Olympic Weightlifting in the Frederick and greater DMV area. Recently we were able to begin a partnership with Soldierfit, a local fitness company. Founded in 2013, Soldierfit is a leader in the fitness & health industry with a proven track record of enhancing the lives of it's members. CMG is now located at The Fort, their original Frederick location and we are proud to be part of their ongoing tradition.

 

We are a USA Weightlifting (USAW) sanctioned club with one USAW Certified National Level Coach and multiple USAW Certified Level One Coaches who volunteer their time to work with athletes in a low coach to athlete ratio environment. We are a gym run by lifters, for lifters. 

 

Our membership has included many nationally ranked School Age, Junior, Senior, and Master category lifters, both male and female, champion high school Track & Field athletes, as well as athletes from other high school & college sports.

 

Olympic Weightlifting is one of the single best training protocols available for developing explosive power, flexibility, coordination and strength in athletics. We individualize programs for any level of athlete.  Regardless of age or fitness level, you will find substantial improvement in balance, agility, speed, and strength.  

 

If you have been exposed to the Olympic Lifts (the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk) in a CrossFit program, we can help you master these lifts. We can even design a short-term program for your sports team.
