Our Hercules Lifting class is hosted by our experienced Coach, National Weightlifter and Strongman Gergö Somodi. In his own words, Gergö describes the Hercules Class as follows:
The Hercules Lifting class is not a traditional class. It is my personal training time where I share my own Olympic lifting experiments and programming with those who are willing to join and train with me. The name was inspired by the Beginner's Program of Dave Turner's Hercules Barbell Club. This program was the first minimalist style program, which served as the template for our class. Keeping the minimalist spirit, please find
