Coach Ivan Rojas

Coach Ivan Rojas is the real thing. If you are looking for results, then Coach Ivan can deliver them to you. Ivan is the only coach in the USA to use the "strategic direction system" - that is an empirically derived training system where your potential and results can be mathematically forecasted. Operationally, Ivan has deployed his methods on weightlifting students producing national and internationally ranked lifters. 

Ivan has worked with athletes like: Annie Thorisdottir, CrossFit Games Champion; Diego Salzar, Olympic Silver Medalist; and Carlos Andica, 205kg clean and jerk at 85kg; Ubaldina Valoyes, World weightlifting medalist.

Coach Ivan has over 25 years of weightlifting coaching experience. Ivan received formal training from the most reknowned training systems in sport. Through Olympic solidarity, Ivan was able to compete or train behind the iron curtain and learn the training systems of Russia, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, and Cuba.

Coach Ivan is continuously in the pursuit of knowledge. Through his work with Risto Sports, he continues to have contact with national coaches of weightlifitng powers such as Kazakhstan, training and working with elite international athletes.

 Life is short, so learn from the best!
