RAF Olympic Weightlifting

Weightlifting has many benefits beyond just being a sport. Fitness, wellbeing and mental agility are all qualities that the Armed Forces strive to maintain. The increase of strength, attentiveness, dedication and teamwork promotes desirable traits that could be of asset to any service.

Personal development within sport can also produce directly transferable skills as each person increases their capacity and education. Weightlifting is highly inclusive, promotes individual effort alongside team building and is fully supportive of all abilities regardless of gender as the sport naturally promotes leaders to place equal emphasis on athlete development.
