About us
Olympic-Style Weightlifting
At Calavera Barbell, Olympic-Style Weightlifting is not just a workout but a mindset. Embracing tension is our foundation, whether in the gym or life’s challenges. At Calavera, we thrive on what’s hard, training to excel under tension. Like scaling the highest mountains for the best views, we embrace the climb.
Our commitment extends through three tailored training programs at Calavera Barbell. Designed to meet our athletes at their current levels and propel them towards performance goals, we ensure every step of their journey is safe, purposeful, and empowering.

After moving from the East Coast, I found this gym after a random Google search. I stopped by to check it out and the owner was so nice that I joined. It’s been 3 years & I love my Calavera FamOLY. Great space to work out, event better group of members/coaches that care about you.
