The "Devils Training Hall" is under way! This hall was set up to provide a teaching, learning, and training environment for Olympic style weightlifting in the New York Metropolitan area. There are not a great deal of places to train for Olympic weightlifting, and ALL ARE WELCOME to train with us, regardless of club affiliation or ability level! Here's what the Hall has to offer:

  • 9 Olympic weightlifting platforms
  • 10+ complete sets of Eleiko training bumpers
  • 7 Eleiko training bars, and 4 women's bars
  • Video recording of lifts for analysis
  • Equipment for assistance/auxiliary work - racks, reverse hypers, glute-hams, med balls, plyos
  • 3000+ seat facility to host competitions

Unfortunately, nothing comes for free. We are currently asking the following of our training hall partcipants:

  • The fee is $20 / month, $5 for one session
  • If you are a beginner, in need of intensive coaching/workout preparation, we charge $60 a month.
  • Check with us to determine team training session times.
  • You MUST sign our facility waiver
  • Bring your USAW card! - or join when you arrive.
  • Any money raised will go towards the purchase of more equipment

We are also pleased to inform any beginners - or athletes who need coaching - that very qualified coaches are available to team members. Nicholas Curry, C.SC.S., USAW Senior Coach, and Bob Giordano, 1980 Olympian, are both coaches for our weightlifting team, as well as Team New Jersey.

If you are interested in joining us, or have any questions, please call Bill Klika at 973-443-8828 or email at klika@fdu.edu!
