About KSV Bochum 1898

KSV Bochum 1898 is a gym in Bochum, in the Ruhr area of North Rhine-Westphalia. It focuses on Olympic weightlifting, which centres on the two competition lifts: the snatch, where the barbell is lifted from the floor to overhead in one movement, and the clean and jerk, where the bar is first brought to the shoulders and then driven overhead. This style of training develops technique, speed and power under the barbell.

Alongside the weightlifting, the gym offers strength and conditioning, using structured barbell and conditioning work to build overall strength and work capacity. This suits people who want a clear, progressive approach to getting stronger and fitter. Details like pricing, class times and trial sessions are best confirmed with the gym directly.
