Programming
Our philosophy is to train movement and prevent injury in order to achieve your goals, whether you train primarily for competition, health, or aesthetics. All programs will have an individual component to them based on your needs, but there is also a group dynamic and shared experience based on our style of programming and the demands we place on our athletes.
Continuing Education
We provide continuing education for coaches and athletes in a series of videos and in-person seminars, including formal USA Weightlifting Coaching certifications. We believe that you’re more likely to achieve your goals when you have education about why and how we do things in our program, and we want to share with you the acquired knowledge of our coaching staff and extended network.
EVENTs
Meets, Camps, and Seminars are the basic events we run as a team, averaging about four or five events a year. Mike has been the Meet Director for two national Meets (2016 National Juniors and 2018 American Open Series 2), as well as having certified over 2,000 coaches through the USA Weightlifting coaching certification program.
TESTIMONIALS
“Never once did he let me give up. He has always had a positive word and encouragement to support me as an older athlete. I am incredibly grateful to have him as my coach and coaching mentor.”
“As a new coach Mike has invested and poured into me selflessly to ensure that I’ve had opportunity to grow, develop and contribute well to the sports I’m involved with and benefit the athletes I train. McKenna Weightlifting is a tremendously talented and diverse team with an amazing head coach.
”
“ In one year I have learned that weightlifting is not just about chasing kilos. It’s about family. And one of my proudest moments is when I became a part of McKenna’s family.”
