<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Hub PT Olympic Weightlifting club in High River, Alberta is hosting </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Masters Weightlifting Seminar on Saturday, February 29th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Ages 30+ </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">$35 for CMWFHC members<br />$50 for </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">non-CMWFHC members.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Led by our coaches, Lisa Szabon-Smith and Jennifer Hamilton</span><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt;">(both NCCP Level 1 Certified). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lisa has been coaching a team of primarily masters </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">weightlifting athletes for the last 4 years and has also worked closely with “older” clients in </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">private and small group training sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jennifer has been supporting our team’s masters </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">athletes through assisting Lisa with coaching and programming.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lisa and Jennifer have both competed many times in local competitions, including the annual </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Gordon Kay Masters competition held by the Alberta Weightlifting Association (AWA), as we are both masters weightlifting athletes </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lisa has a large breadth of national level competitive experience in Bobsleigh, and </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jennifer recently competed at the USAW’s Masters World Cup (this was our team’s first </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">experience with an international weightlifting competition).</span></p>
<p><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Hub PT is located in High River, Alberta, approximately 30 minutes south of Calgary where </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">there is a growing weightlifting community, especially in the master’s age categories.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are an </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">easily manageable drive to get to, as many people commute daily between High River and Calgary for</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> work. As well, athletes are willing to travel from Calgary to train at our facility with our coaches.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are also 1.5 hours from Lethbridge and 2.5 hours from Medicine Hat. A</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">n overnight stay at one of our 3 major hotels might be recommended after a long day learning all about Masters weightlifting.</span></p>
