Who we are

Calavera Barbell is the leading Olympic Weightlifting performance center in Northern Nevada. From the recreational weightlifter to Masters World Champions and from the pre-teen athlete looking to improve their athleticism to the grandparent who wants to be able to hold their grandchildren longer, Calavera is home to a wide variety of athletes united by strength.

Our vision

~The pursuit of excellence under tension~
Whether in the gym or out, we are always under tension. At Calavera, we don’t avoid this tension or what is hard to to do, rather we train to excel while under tension. We know that the highest mountains have the best views, so we don’t shy away from the climb.

The pursuit of excellence in and out of the gym by strengthening our minds to allow our bodies to follow.
