The Northern Strength Classic at Next Level Gym in Palmerston was a massive success and a real showcase of strength across the Territory. The event, sanctioned by the Australian Powerlifting Alliance, brought together lifters from all levels and filled the gym with energy from the first squat to the final deadlift.

The atmosphere was unreal. Every lifter brought grit and determination to the platform, and it was inspiring to see so many people pushing their limits, hitting personal bests, and cheering each other on. From first-time competitors to seasoned lifters, the level of effort and sportsmanship on display was something special.
 

Turtle Strength was proud to sponsor and attend the event. We love seeing the local lifting community grow and support each other. Thanks to Darwin Power Sports for putting on such a well-run and professional competition, and for letting me be part of the day. Events like this show just how strong the NT lifting scene is becoming.

Congratulations to everyone who competed. You’ve set the bar high for the next one. Check out some photos from the day below.
