Inside Kokomo’s Hidden Olympic Weightlifting Gym

Right in the heart of the city, Methods Weightlifting is raising the bar… literally. Specializing in Olympic lifting, this unique gym is fully dedicated to two of the most powerful and technical movements in the sport: the snatch and the clean & jerk.

Whether you're new to lifting or a seasoned competitor, Methods provides elite-level training in an environment that’s both professional and deeply supportive. With certified coaches, competition-grade platforms, and an emphasis on precision and progress, the gym caters to all levels of experience.

Located at 377 W. Morgan Street is Methods Weightlifting Gym. And when you go in, don’t expect rows of treadmills and cable machines there. Instead, Methods offers a space that feels more like a training ground than a typical gym.

What truly sets Methods apart is its culture of community. Lifting heavy isn’t just about muscle—it’s about commitment, growth, and showing up for yourself and your teammates. At Methods, you’ll find a tight-knit group that celebrates each rep, encourages each breakthrough, and makes even the toughest lifts feel a little lighter.

In the latest episode of Kokomo Uncovered, partnered with Community First Bank of Indiana, we took on the challenge ourselves. And before you ask—yes, we get it. A bank hyping up a gym? It might sound a little unexpected. But that’s exactly the point. Community First is all about supporting local, just like we are. It’s a refreshingly un-bank-like move—and one we’re totally here for.

From learning proper technique to pushing our limits, we walked away with a whole new respect for the sport—and for the incredible team behind Methods Weightlifting. Trust us, you’re going to want to see how it all went down

If you're ready to get stronger, sharpen your skills, or simply try something new, Methods Weightlifting is a powerful place to start. This is where strength meets community—and it’s happening right here in Kokomo.
