About Coach

Hi, I’m Derryck! You might recognize me from old Lah pictures and videos. Not much has changed—I still love having fun, doing funky things, and bringing people together. My journey in the fitness world began with the launch of Barbell BlueBloods, our Olympic Weightlifting class. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come!

After leaving CrossFit Lah, I had the opportunity to coach in Vietnam, which was a significant turning point in my journey. I gained valuable insights and experiences that shaped my approach to coaching and weightlifting. This evolution is reflected in today’s class.

Motivation & Passion

Our current class emphasizes the importance of moving the barbell correctly, focusing on technique above all else. We prioritize drills—lots of them!—and occasionally integrate complexes to enhance our skills. For those interested in competition, we’ve already participated in two meets with our new group, and there are many more to come. To me, success is knowing that you understand what to do and can identify when something doesn’t feel right. Ultimately, my goal is for you to enjoy this journey of weightlifting, embracing every moment along the way. Let’s lift together and make this journey a memorable one!
