I cannot express how awesome this experience was! I came to the camp as a beginner with very limited Spanish and that did not matter. The organisation of the program, including breaks, food, transport excursions even laundry was so well done that all you had to do was turn up and concentrate on training. Even sports massage was included. The training was excellent and coaches knew when to push and when to stop. I added 9kg to my front squat and all my lifts improved greatly! It was an amazing experience, I met great people and look forward to going to the next camp!

I attended the camp in Feb 2018. The location, training, food, coaches, and overall experience we all incredible. Hoping to go back as soon as my schedule allows! Some additional details and pictures included
Training/Coaching: 2 weeks total, training Mon-Sat with morning and afternoon sessions most days. Very intense training with 3 experience Colombian coaches. We were joined by 2 international level Colombian athletes for most of the time there. Awesome seeing them training. Colombian coaches were hands-on in training leading warmup, making technique corrections, teaching drills, leading cool down, and on several nights giving seminars on the Colombian training system. I have since applied some technique and programming information from the camp in my training and have fixed long standing issues with my snatch and jerk.
Accommodations/Food: Clean comfortable hotel located within 50m of the beach. Hotel pool was amazing right after training. All meals were provided as buffet style with plenty of flavor and with all the protein and carbs to keep us fueled throughout the two weeks.
City/Attractions: Cartagena is an amazing city to visit all on its own. The weather was sunny and 34C during the day every day, the beaches were all around, and the Old Town was a beautiful historic place to explore. Included in the weightlifting camp were two excursions and whenever there were free evenings I went out with the other weightlifters to explore the sights, sounds, and culture of Cartagena.
