We are back for year two of the No Limits Fitness Strongman Classic And it is bigger and better than ever! Once again we are tailoring this competition to Novice and Intermediate lifters while still providing a professional experience with high level competition! Like last year all proceeds are going to Turning Point NC, Turning Point is the only organization in Union County that provides emergency and lifesaving resources for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.  We offer a wide range of services at no charge to the client.  Turning Point believes that everyone who experiences abuse deserves a safe place to heal and receive the resources they need to seek independence and justice. We are also proud to say we will be offering multiple different prizes for all 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners! As well as a “Most Dominant“ award to one male athlete and one female athlete with the highest total points after 6 events out of all other male and female competitors across all weight classes!
