Olympic lifting gyms in PA/NJ...
« on: Dec 09, 2006, 01:33 PM »
Hello,
I am looking for O lifting gyms or coaches in the Bucks county PA area (areas like Doylestown, kintnersville, plumstadville, ect.) Also I live very close to Frenchtown NJ which I think Les Petits Animaux is, but I am not sure??? Could someone give me info on this gym, it's location and how to get in touch with Mr. Roselli.
Thank you for any replies.:!:

Barrett,

Try looking at the sattelite section of the East Coast Gold website.  They have several locations in Maryland, New Jersey and PA that may fit your bill.  The website is here.  East Coast is one of the best teams in the country.

Hope this is of some help.

Thank you very much for the link Paul, however there is not satellite gym that is really close enough for me to train regularly based on my schedule.  The reason I asked about Les Petit animaux is because I know Mr. Leroux had done an interview with him on here last year and I live basically four miles from where I believe his gym is located.

Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Chris thank you for the address and contact info. I tried the email but it came back saying that it was undeliverable. I am going to take a trip over to the address later this week. Hopefully they are still there and will allow me to train.
Thanks again!

Barrett,

Before you drive over, let me contact Peter for you personally. Perhaps he will give me permission to share his new email address. I'll try and see what I can do tomorrow.

Chris, Thanks for the help! Based on what I read in the interview with Mr. Roselli, he has trained some of the best lifters in the US....I on the other hand have no experience with O-lifting so I am not sure his training facility trains people with my lack of experience. Unfortunatley there is a lack of gyms in my area and the the only gym nearby that I have been to does not allow O'lifts because they are very "dangerous and unnecessary." I am not sure but I think this is a main reason as to why there is such a lack of interest in O-lifting in the US, it is very difficult to find facilites and knowledgable people to teach this sport. Sorry for the rant and thanks again for your help.

Barrett,

You might try that email again. I spoke with Peter and he said it is current. But, if it doesn't work, Peter gave me his home phone number for you. I'll PM it to you.
