Welcome to Jawbone Weightlifting Club.
We are an official USA Weightlifting Club led by
Dylan Beattie, who is a certified USA Weightlifting Coach.
Our Olympic Weightlifting program is designed to prepare athletes for the sport of weightlifting in a safe and effective training system crafted to improve technique and build strength. We will focus on the Snatch and Clean and Jerk, but the training will not be limited to those two lifts.
Olympic Weightlifting is an exciting and challenging sport and Jawbone Weightlifting Club is the perfect place to learn and improve. JWC welcomes lifters with any experience ranging from absolute beginners to competitors. Whether you are preparing for a competition or want to simply get stronger, we are here to help you reach your goals. If you're new to weightlifting, our program is designed to get you started with lots of personalized attention. We will focus on developing safe movement patterns and building strength to form a solid foundation for you to build upon as you progress.
New weightlifters will be required to attend a minimum of two personal training sessions with Coach Dylan to evaluate proper movement of basic Olympic lifts before joining group classes. We are currently accepting members in their Freshman year of High School, 14 years and up.

The name Jawbone comes from the story in the Bible about Samson. Samson was a man blessed with great strength from God. There are many stories of his strength but the one the club is named for comes from Dylan’s favorite. At one point in time Samson was surrounded by 1,000 Phillistines (the enemy of Israel). He picked up the jawbone of a donkey and slew them all.
"with a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men"
Judges 15:16
