Anna Martin, World Champion, 2014

Here we go, folks.

Anna will be here at our gym, Sunday, October 5 from 1-5 for an Olympic lifting seminar. Below is the video from the World Championships in Denmark where she won a gold medal in her weight category. We are bringing her in from Kansas City and she will be conducting a clinic in Telluride on Saturday, and here on Sunday.

Don’t miss this. You will be a better athlete.

Anna was passing through this summer and caught a few workouts during her vacation. Craig and Joanie worked with her just briefly and were super impressed by how much they learned.

Here is a little info from Anna about who she is…
“I have been an Olympic-style Weightlifting since age 14 and have been lifting for 20 years. I placed in the top three at every National Championships and American Open from 2001 to 2006, and won the Collegiate National Champion in 2005. In 2006 I was ranked number 11 in the US.

I lifted for the United States in Mexico City and Guatemala City and placed 2nd place in Mexico City’s Olympic Festival. In 2004 I was the first alternate to the Olympic Trials and in 2006 I lifted in the World Team Trials. My all time best lifts are 80kg (176lbs) Snatch and 105kg (231lbs) Clean and Jerk.

As a coach, I was able to coach at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and Marquette, MI. I then coached Team Wesley in St. Joseph, MO for a year. I had 8 School-age National Champions and one girl that qualified for an International Weightlifting meet. Since then I have started my own team and have had over 30 National Champions and many best lifters. In 2008, I was named AAU Coach of the Year and was invited to coach the School-age Christmas camp and the head women’s coach that was held in Colorado Springs. More recently I was invited to Colorado Springs again to coach the School-age camp in March and April.

In June I won the 2014 Master Pan American Championships. And the first of September, I won the 2014 Master’s World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark.”

See, we told you she was BadAss. Don’t miss this opportunity to train and be coached by a World Champ, right here in Ouray.
