Stone Strength Weightlifting

Cheltenham’s Home of Olympic Weightlifting.

Learn, lift, and progress with expert coaching and a welcoming community.

Discover the Sport of Strength

Weightlifting is at the heart of Gym66.
Our programme is built around the Olympic lifts — the snatch and the clean & jerk — and designed for everyone who wants to build strength, power, and confidence under the barbell.

Whether you’re training for competition or just want to master great technique, you’ll find expert guidance, supportive teammates, and a motivating atmosphere every time you step onto the platform.

Club Programme

Sessions: Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays

Our Club Programme is for those who want to take their lifting further. Each session follows structured programming led by our coaching team, with personalised feedback and technical refinement at every stage.

Members train alongside other lifters who share the same drive — from local competitors to national-level athletes — in an atmosphere that’s focused, friendly, and encouraging.

Weightlifting Essentials

Sessions: Mondays & Wednesdays

New to lifting? Start here.
Weightlifting Essentials is our beginner’s pathway — a guided introduction to the snatch and clean & jerk. Over several weeks, you’ll learn correct movement patterns, improve mobility, and develop strength safely and confidently.

This class is ideal for complete beginners or functional fitness athletes who want to sharpen their lifting technique before progressing to our main club sessions.
