NEW YORK WEIGHTLIFTING ACADEMY

The New York Weightlifting Academy is the only gym in the New York metro-area exclusively dedicated to Olympic Weightlifting. The NYWA aims to further the instruction and education of Olympic Weightlifting under the guidance of Senior International Coach, Marc Chasnov. Our goal is to greater enhance participation in Olympic Weightlifting through coaching and educational seminars. The NYWA also has a competitive USAW registered team that regularly competes... The training methods employed by New York Weightlifting Academy focus on making strong and controlled lifters that are technically proficient. Foreign weightlifters are incredibly smooth and exhibit measured lifts, the same should be for lifters in our own country. We strive to emphasize quality over quantity because it is our belief that it makes better athletes.
