GND PLU 2025 Pride Classic
At GND Strength Society, we believe strength has no gender, no labels, and no limits. The GND Pride Classic is a beginner-friendly, inclusive powerlifting meet that celebrates strength in all its forms — especially the kind that shows up, stands tall, and takes up space unapologetically.
Whether you're stepping onto the platform for the first time or you're ready to crush another PR, this meet is for you. We welcome lifters of all experience levels, gender identities, and backgrounds. This meet is sanctioned by Powerlifting United. 25% of proceeds from this meet will be going to support the LGBT Chamber of Commerce IL Chapter.
