Olympic Weightlifting Seminar - Chico, CA
October 18-19 2008

Join Greg Everett and national champion Aimee Anaya in Chico, CA October 18-19 for two days of Olympic weightlifting fun.

"Greg, your knowledge has no end, and you make everything so easy to understand; your training is very detailed, professional and yet funny; you manage to keep all the seminar on a relaxed, easy-going pace, with no pressure to perform on the participants. Aimee I love your enthusiasm for the sport, your passion for it, and even if you were moving a pipe, you could see your power, your strength and your flexibility. The only bad thing about the seminar is that it was too short!"
—Luca Zanet
