A New Chapter for CHFP

The CHFP Alexandria Facility Closed. CHFP Weightlifting Continues Online!

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.

Train with me, wherever you lift

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!

Where to lift in Alexandria

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.
