About Us

Midwest Weightlifting is a registered 501c-3 not-for-profit organization dedicated
to the development and promotion of the Olympic sport of weightlifting among
youth and young adults. Midwest Weightlifting is a member club of USA
Weightlifting, and a Community Olympic Development Program, a program of the
United States Olympic Committee.

Our athletes have won medals in national and international competitions, earned
spots on national squads, hold national records and will continue to represent
the United States of America in international competitions. Our mission is to
develop and support our young athletes as they continue to pursue their Olympic
dream. It is through this pursuit, that our young athletes develop the qualities of
discipline, commitment, courage, accountability, strong work ethic, and integrity.
Those willing to pursue their dream can achieve these results.

Midwest Weightlifting was created in 2001 as three existing weightlifting clubs
from throughout Indiana came together to create a stronger development and
support system for our athletes. Currently we number over 100 athletes at two
training locations in Northwest Indiana and one at Indiana University in
Bloomington. We are partnering with the top personnel in the sport medicine field
and sports science specialists to accomplish our goal of providing the best
possible environment to develop young athletes in the sport of weightlifting.

Our main training hall is located at Omni 41 Health & Fitness in Athletic
Development in Schererville, IN. Our second facility is located in the Athletic
Development training hall of the St. Anthony Sports Medicine Institute in Crown
Point.
