English term or phrase: weight-training
Please note that this is weight-training not weight-lifting. I do not think that رفع الأثقال is the best translation here, I would like to hear your suggestions.

Here is a sentence where the term is used:

"The athletes will have access to weight-training rooms and gymnasiums"

Thanks.

التدريب على تقنيات وتمارين رفع الأثقال


Explanation:
There is a difference between weightlifting and weight training.

Please view this link for more info.

Weightlifting is training the body to lift the heaviest weights. Weight training, on the other hand, is developing the strength, power, flexibility, weight control, concentration and confidence.

For Arabic we can use:
التدريب على تقنيات وتمارين رفع الأثقال

التمرين بالأثقال الحرة


Explanation:
التمرين بالأثقال الحرة في مقابل التمرين باستخدام آلات الجمانيزيوم.
