Join us for the GND Pride Classic, a high-energy strength event hosted by GND Strength Society in celebration of Pride Month! This inclusive and empowering lifting meet is open to all levels — from first-timers to seasoned lifters — and is designed to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community through strength, visibility, and unity. Expect an electrifying day of squat, bench, and deadlift in a judgment-free zone filled with music, cheering, and unapologetic self-expression. This isn’t just about numbers on the bar — it’s about lifting each other up. Whether you're competing, volunteering, or showing up to support, you’ll be part of a community that celebrates authenticity, courage, and strength in all forms. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the IL LGBT Chamber of Commerce. Come for the lifts. Stay for the love. Leave stronger than ever.
