Olympic weightlifting isn’t just for Olympians anymore. At Gold's Gym SoCal, we're committed to providing our members with the most up-to-date equipment, which is why we've been installing Olympic weightlifting platforms throughout our clubs. The platforms are inspired by the Olympic discipline where the objective is to lift the highest total weight in the clean and jerk and the snatch. In recent years the sport has made its way into mainstream fitness programs and now into Gold's Gym SoCal.
We’ve found the fountain of youth. Turns out, it’s strength training. We’re not talking about the reverse aging stuff, but a growing body of evidence suggests that strength training is fundamental to maintaining a high quality of life as we get older.
