CHFP’s Alexandria facility closed on April 19, 2026, because the property is being redeveloped for a data center. CHFP no longer offers drop-ins, assessments, or open gym at that location.
CHFP Weightlifting continues online, and I’m glad you’re here! I’m Cara Heads Slaughter. I coach the CHFP team live on Zoom, and we come together to compete several times a year.
You can lift from your garage, your basement, a commercial gym, or open gym at another facility. You’ll need a platform or a space set up for the Olympic lifts, a phone on a tripod so I can see you lift, and earbuds so you can hear my feedback in real time.
If you’ve already been taught the snatch and clean & jerk and want to sharpen your technique, train with a clear plan, or prepare to compete, email me about your training and goals. I’d love to hear what you’re working on!
If you’re visiting Alexandria or looking for a place to lift in person, I recommend Monument Weightlifting. Use the Monument button to see its drop-in options and book directly. If you’re new to the snatch and clean & jerk and want to learn in person, reach out to Brian at brian@monumentweightlifting.com.
