Second Annual Gardy Classic- Powerlifting Exhibition

Attention all aspiring powerlifters and fitness enthusiasts!
Welcome to the Second Annual Gardy Classic – Powerlifting Exhibition! Join us at Aspire Athletic Club for an exhilarating Squat, Bench & Deadlift Exhibition. This is your chance to showcase your strength, determination, and dedication in an exciting competition. Whether you're a seasoned powerlifting pro or a newcomer ready to make your mark, the Gardy Classic offers a friendly and fun environment for lifters to raise money for the Special Olympics and The L.E.A.D. Foundation!

With divisions for men, women, and teams, there’s a place for every competitor, ensuring fair and spirited competition!

This year we have added a teams division, which allows competitors to use a combination of three lifters (one person squats, one person benches, and one person deadlifts) to rack up as high of a team total as possible! Grab your strongest male or female friends and assemble a team to take the crown! (*please note that each team member will perform one of the three lifts. Each team competitor will not do all three lifts*).

All proceeds from this event will benefit Special Olympics and The L.E.A.D. Foundation. We are supporting programs that foster leadership, empowerment, and development for athletes in our community. Every lift you make contributes to a greater cause.

In addition to the adrenaline-filled action, participants will have the chance to win exciting prizes, including gym memberships, exclusive merchandise, trophies, supplements, and more. Plus, enjoy a variety of vendors offering supplements, treats, and additional fitness essentials!
