The Bujanda Strong Weightlifting Club was started by Guillermo “Will” Bujanda who is an accomplished athlete and coach with 20 plus years of experience in multiple sports including Olympic Weightlifting.
The club is passionate about carrying on the legacy built by Olympic Coach, Gayle Hatch, who produced 4 Olympians in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting and influenced the performance and lives of countless professional, collegiate, high school, and club athletes and coaches.
The mission of the club is to teach proper technique, build confidence and strength in young athletes in order to set them up for success in athletics and life. No two athletes are alike; therefore, we tailor a personalized training plan for you or your child based on maturity, goals, and physical ability.
