Urban Fitness Wellington
Olympic
Weightlifting.

We coach the snatch, clean and jerk. The focus is on position, rhythm and timing.

Richie Patterson has been coming to Urban Fitness since 2013 to run his Level 1 certifications. His influence runs through everything we do here.

The way we teach the lifts, the standards we hold, the culture we've built around barbell sport. It all connects back to that relationship and the 15+ years we've spent coaching these movements.
