Lenka's Lifting Club
Lenka's Lifting Club was founded in 2024 by Lenka Zembova. She has grown it into one of the largest clubs in Minnesota, with athletes of all ages — from youth to masters — and all stages of progression — from first local meet, to national medalists.
Head Coach: Lenka
Lenka has been representing her home country of Slovakia at international competitions since 2019; acquiring international medals, and valuable experience in the world of weightlifting. She wants to give back to the weightlifting community by furthering her coaching career, and continuing to develop Lenka's Lifting Club.
From 2021-2024, Lenka studied Neuroscience at Northern Michigan University (NMU), while training at the USAW National Training Site. She currently resides in St. Paul, Minnesota with her husband Lander and their dog Loki. She is attending St. Catherine's as a graduate student for her nursing degree.
Lenka wants to work with athletes at any point in their weightlifting career — from never-competed-before — to national medalist. She will work with you individually to ensure you reach your goals, whether that is improving general strength, polishing technical movements, or striving to compete at higher levels.
